A Prophecy Fulfilled –
A reliable connection with numbers and colors. Without them, your interpretation cannot be trusted. Translators cannot be trusted. What can be trusted? A literal sense of the word if it has been translated as such. The meaning of a word does not translate well which makes interpretation nearly impossible. It must be revealed. The wise will understand.

A Mother –
A thinker. A saint. She would pick up an old lady walking on the side of the road. Take her to the grocery store. Have tea with her while I sat in her dark smelly house. She took care of four extra children one school year because their mother was sick. She was the only girl in her high school algebra class. She couldn’t resist a 1500 piece puzzle. I will never forget her “there, there”.

a number
A Color –
A connection with history and prophecy. The translators didn’t know the meaning of numbers and colors so they were forced to use the literal sense of these words. With many of the other words they were able to translate the meaning and that is why we have so many different versions of the bible. We can’t understand any of it until it is revealed to us and when it is we will know that the end is near. And that’s the truth.

A Meaning –
A tool for communicating. The translators couldn’t agree on the meaning of certain words. That is why there are 60 different English versions of the Bible. What do they agree on? Numbers and colors.

A Third John –
A confirmation that the apostle wrote the Apocalypse was necessary to get it in the Bible which was being translated and defined by Jerome.

A “My Fair Lady” –
A first professional play that I got to see when I was a senior in high school. I couldn’t believe how anything could be that good. Years later I would see the movie for the first time and again I couldn’t believe how anything could be that entertaining. Both times the circumstances were very unusual. I couldn’t believe what was happening to me.
