A Time After A Crash – 

A chance to make some money. After a couple years sold it with a 75% gain but it wasn’t that simple. The account was transferred to another company which made it much more difficult to sell and doing my taxes required three additional interactions with the IRS.

A House On Mount Of Olives – 

A Muslim named Abraham saw me at the hotel and knew where I could stay. Somehow I trusted him but soon realized it was a scam. I could have been taken as a hostage a number of times but there I was in his brother’s house being interrogated by a third man. This was the most interesting part of my visit to Jerusalem. After only two nights at a house in their neighborhood I had to leave. The money was not a problem and well worth the experience.

A Marxist Rider – 

A father of communism from the Black Sea.  A threat to Christianity.  A threat to liberty.  A class struggle that would lead to Russia and China.  The Church had to be eliminated for communism to succeed.  Over 100 million had to be killed.  Don’t call it communism or marxism.  Call it liberalism, progressivism, or socialism.

A Time When I Should Have Done Something – 

A lack of religion. This is a difficult one for me. If we were raised with too much religion, my kids certainly didn’t get enough. I wish that we had gone to church more often with them.

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 Thing That Makes Me Nervous – 

A change in my routine. The older you get, the more you rely on your routine. A Youtube video suggests any trip if you are over seventy is a risky situation.
