Hey Undo, I might post these guys as "Mars anomalies! Do you think very many would know the difference??? There is an Egyptian statue on Mars anyway, so, these guys look like martians to me, and should fit right in!!! Might be one of my better anomaly posts!! (obv. just kidding)

(btw, I think you are better already!!)

P.S. - Joseph "was a very plain guy" (just like us), and suffered many trials and tribs. before becoming an Egyptian leader! But God "ordered his steps", just as he does youurs and mine!

oh yeah?  why ain't i a pharaoh then?

pharaoh undo. lol nah doesn't have that umph. 

why, when i asked as solomon had, for wisdom not riches, i only got the wisdom but solomon got both?  lol

i'd lodge a formal request for record balance sheets but i probably already have a better life than he did, just living now, in this time in human history.

he had slaves to wash his dishes.
i have a dishwashing machine. 

he had slaves to cart him around egypt,
i have a car.   

on second thought, i am pharaoh undo and you're pharaoh rdunk.  and pharaoh the seeker and pharaoh amaterasu.  pharaoh zorgon.  pharaoh littleenki.  wow place is getting crowded. hehe

Undo,  I don't know you but I want to offer encouragement.  I was on Prednisone for 6 1/2 years.   60, 40 then 20 / off 2 weeks / 60, 40, 20 then gradually reduced over time.  Besides making me gain weight, my moods slammed for one end to the other.  I have worked law enforcement for 20 years Brevard County and during the last 6 1/2 I had to fight the mood swings from the steroid.  It got to the point that I would recognize them coming on (the moods) and I would adjust to them.  If I got depressed, I made myself be with people.  If I got aggressive, I had to have some quiet time to myself.  It wasn't easy.

As far as what people said about me, I treated them with kindness because I was not going to stoop to their level.  I cared not about the things people said about me.  I treated them with kindness anyway.  It kind of disarms people doing that.  They start going off on me, I would say "really?" and would not even respond any further to a negative remark.  It took me some time to condition myself to the medicine and the idea of responding to other people who wanted to make me miserable.

I hope you feel better and I will pray that you be healed quickly.  Hope this helps you in some way.

undo, if we each knew God's detailed plan for our lives, it might be too scary for us, from an ordinary human standpoint. We each and all are different. He healed blind eyes, but then, not everyone can be blessed in that way, because most of us are not physically blind. I am not so sure that becoming a Pharaoh would actually be a blessing, or not?? In the few historical accounts I am aware of, I think maybe most Pharaohs were not in right standing with God, as they worshipped other Gods.

Of course, our daily lives are to be more about Him, and not about ourselves. Much of what we experience in our lives is relative to the learning/correcting we need, to become more like Him (Jesus). As Christians we have heard about being on mountain tops, and then being in the valleys at times. Well, when we understand what the valley experiences are for, then the shorter our time in the "valleys".

The closer we get with Him, the "more-less" will what others say and do have any influence in/on our daily lives. It is just all about Him, and not about us!

well i agree with that!  just warn out. had a few too many trials already.   i will be fine once the meds are done.  just accumulative frustration and disappointment.  let me state for the record, there's no pain on this planet that i'm aware of, worse than going slowly insane from a brain infection and not knowing what the freak was going on. that was the worst.  almost destroyed my marriage.  had he not been a christian and determined to figure out what was going on, and willing to pray, i wouldn't be here now. would've missed seeing my kids grow up and get married. and etc.

worked out good but let me say flat out, i've had babies without pain meds, with pitocin cranking full on inducement, and breech had to be turned during contractions, and THAT was not as bad as going slowly insane. i've had a breast cut clean off and lymph nodes removed at the same time and sent home the same day with nothing but a bottle of percocet and that was not as bad.   i feel really bad for people who are suffering with mental diseases. they are really suffering in the worst possible way imaginable.  to add salt to the wound, people either make fun of them or try to say they are possessed by evil spirits.  it's horriblle.

and that's all i got to say about that.

[rdunk]

Wow, yes you have definitely had a heavy load to deal with. Praise the Lord that you are still with us, and He must have good reason for that!

yep, feel like i've already paid my dues x 1,000,000.  in fact, the docs at the hospital when i came out of the coma told me the chances of getting that particular disease in their area of the world were like 1,000,000 to 1.  i was like, wow, now if i only had those kinda of odds in a good way.  didn't dawn on me at the time,  that the mere fact i had survived it was probably even bigger odds.  lol  yep, i'd say that ended up better than it could've, by a long shot. 

but wouldn't you like to have those kinds of odds without all the suffering, misery and just flat out bad attached?  man, that'd be good stuff right there.  well not just the odds but win too.
win=good.  anybody that tells you win=bad is not being honest lol

well okay, i can see how too much win=bad.  but let's discuss what too much win is in the first place.  for example, my sis went with a group of ladies to a village in africa. she met a lovely woman who had a beautiful hut, that she kept meticulously clean, even though it had a dirt floor.  she was quite proud of it because it had the best dirt floor in the village. the other ladies were envious of her dirt floor.  i don't want people to be envious of me.  would just like to not have any more major trials in my life, like hostile take overs, christian persecution, and that type of thing.  my tribulation already been there done that, thanks anyway! lol

[rdunk]

  ---------------  = your life story! lol

Well, I do use Adam for my crutch, when needed. I blame him for giving birth to sickness and death anyway, for all of us. Before the sin in the Garden there was no such thing. So, if you need the real culprit to blame, blame him, along with the real perpetrator that caused/causes it, which is Satan. He talked them into eating the forbidden fruit, and actually lied about God, to them - ie saying to them, "ye shall shalt not surely die"!

That was the birth of sickness, disease, and physical death, that we to this day continue to experience.

From what I have seen all these years, I think you take things too personally.

Would you react in the same way if someone put the blame of something on American Christians or on the whole human race? To me it looks like you just react to some key words, as if you had been programmed to react that way.

Just relax, re-read things and see if they are targeting you or if you are the one seeing it as a personal attack when it's not.

PS: being an asthmatic I have learned since I was 5 to keep calm as much as possible, so I wouldn't trigger an attack that would send me to the hospital, so it's relatively easy for me to say this, while I know that for most people it's not easy not to get upset.

watch this!

hey, i think i see an anomaly in this moon pic and i'm gonna post it in a minute. 

watch how long it takes armap to jump on it and say, "what anomaly?  i don't see anything. "   and then spend as long as it takes to convince you that you're just imagining things, even if it's months of effort.

at least, armap, i'm pointing out a real issue.  you're just reacting to somebody else's supposed paradoila or something.  does somebody's belief that they can see a building on the moon threaten your life?  if so, how?  i'm reacting to the very real and currently global, persecution and murder of christians just because they are christian.  i'm not prepared to suffer anymore, and i likely never will be.

[spacemaverick]

Life is like a tapestry.  We see the back of the tapestry that makes no sense.  God sees the front, which is the finished product.  Let go and let God......

[ArMaP]

at least, armap, i'm pointing out a real issue.

Real or unreal, any issue that affects a person's life or quality of life should be taken seriously.

you're just reacting to somebody else's supposed paradoila or something.

It's pareidolia.

does somebody's belief that they can see a building on the moon threaten your life?  if so, how?

Only if I let it upset me enough to trigger an asthma attack, but as I said before, I learned out to not to get upset by any thing, an asthma attack is not something nice.

i'm reacting to the very real and currently global, persecution and murder of christians just because they are christian.  i'm not prepared to suffer anymore, and i likely never will be.

If it's not happening in Portugal (and it's not) then it's not global.
