A First Year In New England –
A big move for a new family away from relatives and old friends. Together we explored everything New England had to offer. It was the year we became a family that would stay together through many moves.

A Bible –
A version of each translation. Before the printer, no two bibles were alike. Now no two translations are alike. And there are way too many. About 60 English translations. Each translation has more than one version. So the “Word of God” is subject to translations, revisions, and interpretation. For the most part they agree on numbers. And colors.

A Beginning –
A new world order and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. You just need to overcometh and you shall not be hurt of the second death. This is eternal life.

A Morning Walk –
A growling German shepherd in front of me. I slowly bent down to pick up a stone and the dog took off like it had seen a ghost. Apparently it looked like I crouched down to attack.

A Mystery –
A beast that was, and is not. The beast that was had seven heads and the beast that is to come has ten horns. History will verify the fulfillment of prophecy. Only history can. Just look for it but don’t use your interpretation. Use numbers. They are not misleading. Nearly all the bible translations agree on the numbers. Not much else.

A Vulgate –
A canon that included the Apocalypse. Before Chrysostom, Jerome, and Augustine, it was not clear if the Apocalypse belonged in the bible. At the beginning of the fifth century these three were major players in the Church and the bible was being defined. It is clear now. Thank you Jerome.

A Discipline From The Mother –
A father who doesn’t spend as much time with the kids shouldn’t be the bad guy. I wanted the kids to be happy to see me when I came home from work.

A Great City –
A capital of an empire that lasted a thousand years. It has many waters, seven hills, and world trade. It is fallen, is fallen, and can be found no more at all. It is a mystery and likely to remain so. It is Constantinople. No other city fits like this great city. You can’t go back to Constantinople. It can be found no more at all.

A Sign In The Sky –
A suggestion that John Chrysostom wrote the Apocalypse 30 September 395. Made by Nikolai Alexandrovich Morozov, an astronomer, according to R. H. Charles in his book, “Studies in the Apocalypse: Being Lectures Delivered before the University of London”. A book worth reading.
