A Juice Newton Song –
A Lyric, “In the light before the dawn.” from “The Sweetest Thing”. I still remember experiencing ‘the light before the dawn’ the first time as I drove through the night. At a pizza place I would give my kids a quarter to play a couple songs on the jukebox. It was always the first song.

A Reason to Explain –
A need to understand what is written. From Augustine:
“What then, Brothers, shall we keep silence?
Why then read it if only to keep silence about it?
Or
why hear it if it is not to be explained?
But also,
why explain it if it is not to be understood?”

A Purpose For Our Existence –
A word not found in some bibles. Here is an example from one that has it. We are being tested. “Many shall be refined, purified, and tested, but the wicked shall prove wicked; the wicked shall have no understanding, but those with insight shall.” This is the purpose, the reason, why we are here. Life has meaning. Those with insight shall understand. Testing 1, 2, 3.

A Pygmalion –
A 1964 musical My Fair Lady got it right. The best ever. Watch it every chance I get. Why can’t a woman be more like a man? Many sick people today are trying to rewrite that.

A Reason to Believe –
A blessing for “he that hath an ear”. A promise for he that overcometh. Not being hurt by the second death must be the most important. There is little agreement as to what the second death means. The death of the soul should be the primary consideration. Fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

A Scientist –
A project preserving the unfinished works of Sir Isaac Newton who was very interested in Daniel and the Apocalypse which is now available on Kindle. Newton felt self bound to communicate it for the benefit of others. Others felt self bound to bring it to you. It is now bound in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle.

A Thanksgiving Meal –
A family reunion. Three generations. Six adults, four children, three dogs, and two cats. One big dream.

A Fulfillment of Prophecy –
A connection with numbers that can be trusted. Your interpretation, not so much. Translators can’t be trusted but somehow they get the numbers right. If you have an ear, listen to what numbers and history can tell you. It is the only way the fulfillment of prophecy can be confirmed. Anything else is just someone’s interpretation.

A Dynasty –
A commentary by Newton who saw the connection between the Apocalypse and Daniel. He also believed the “ten horns” they had in common referred to dynasties. Same for the “seven heads” so the historian should be looking for beasts with seven or ten dynasties. Only historians can count them.

A Morning Bike Ride –
A daily exercise weather permitting. The light before dawn. For older people bike riding is better than walking. Flexing the leg joints without loading them. It may also help with balance. Over 80 it is easier than walking.
