A Great Meal –
A time to enjoy food and drink. One of my favorites is hamburger steak on the grill, steamed corn on the cob, and sugared tomatoes. The best part is the two beers consumed while preparing it. You don’t need a holiday to do this.

A Revelation –
A testimony of Jesus Christ. Blessed is he that readeth. Augustine read it. “Why then read it if only to keep silence about it?” Understanding it is a challenge. You may not have time for this. You may not have that much time. It’s later than you think. You may need help understanding it. Ask for it.

A Holy Place –
A daily sacrifice shall be taken away. What is in the Holy Place now? Daniel has three references to abomination. The first is “he” and most agree he was Antiochus IV Epiphanes. The second is “they” shall place the abomination which is a better fit with the Dome of the Rock that is preventing the daily sacrifice.

A Salt Dump –
A cap removed. The salt shaker doesn’t have a cap, just a strainer which I accidentally removed and dumped a whole lot of salt into my favorite chili. That is when I learned that too much salt, like not enough salt, can kill you.

A Family –
A wife and children of Charlie Kirk. He wasn’t afraid to speak the truth. The importance of religion, faith, family, and having a father in the home. This father has been killed but he will be remembered as long as we don’t forget what he stood for. Time for us to stand up for it. We can’t let anyone forget it.

A Caliph –
A sultan, and a perfect fit with Saladin if you know how to count caliphates, sultanates, or dynasties and can tell the difference. Islam can and they counted ten as in ten horns and they shall hate the whore. A connection between Daniel and the Apocalypse. A little horn reinforces the belief that horns are dynasties.

A Necessary Moderation –
A health issue due to excessive consumption. Coffee and beer. The beer one was easy. I got gout. A nurse on the internet told me everything I needed to know. The coffee one I had figured out myself. It started with the 12 cup coffee maker. I now have the 5 cup and have to leave 2 cups for her. I still drink beer but only 2 or 3 instead of 4 or 5. Moderation in all things including moderation. BTW I still smoke, a pipe, once a day and don’t inhale.

A Home For Doubt –
A necessary explanation for what we experience. We have to make sense of it. To ignore it is to deny reality. To deny objectivity. Call it speculation, conjecture, or whatever but please accept the fact that there must be a reason, a purpose, a meaning, etc. At least ask the question why. There must be a reasonable explanation.

A Translation Problem –
A commander or another interpretation problem if you are looking for the king of the north. There are eight different words in 52 different translations: princes 24, commanders 10, officers 7, officials 5, generals 2, leaders 2, principalities 1, subordinates 1. The word prince suggests a family member unlike the other seven words which have a similar meaning. Makes you wonder about words used in other parts of the bible. These are major differences in words used before you get to the problem of interpreting them. Reader beware.

A Meat –
A beef. Ground beef. Turkey, dark meat only, is second. Mexican is my favorite ethnic food. The only one I would never give up. My granddaughter once said, “the one with the most restaurants wins.” They have the margarita. Who can compete with that?
