FEBRUARY 19 "BE CAREFUL ABOUT ASKING FOR A SIGN!"

A story of a young, handsome, Eastern king who was seated in a garden, and one of his counselors was speaking of the wonderful works of God. 
"Show me a sign," said the king, "and I will believe." 
"Here are four acorns," said the counselor," will you, Majesty, plant them in the ground, and then stoop down for a moment and look into this clear pool of water?" 
The king did so, and saw the reflection of his young handsome face. "Now," said the counselor, "look up." 
The king looked up and saw four full grown oak-trees where he had planted the acorns.
How could that be? It would take 80 years for those to grow?
"This is Wonderful!" the King exclaimed, "This is indeed a true Miracle of God!
 "How long were you looking into the water?" asked the counselor? 
"Only a second," said the king.
Correct said his counselor, God has made for you, as a sign "Eighty years have passed as a second," Quite the sign, quite the miracle indeed.
“Now you believe?” asked the counselor
Yes, said the King, now I believe!
You requested a sign didn’t’ you?
Yes I did!
You received a sign, didn’t you?
Yes I did!
80 years has passed in a second, hasn’t it?
Yes it has!
Now look back in the water at your reflection.
The King once again, looked at his reflection in the water; he had become an old man.
The Counselor responded, there is your sign, there is your miracle. 

Now you can believe, with the short life you have left!

OCTOBER 15 "RE-UP - MARRIED AGAIN!"

Paul Chudnow, 71 and Phyllis Chudnow, also 71 decide after 50 years to get hitched for another 50. The mood was lighthearted before the 7:30 p.m. service. "I figured if you can last 50 years, you might as well look for another [50 years]," said Phyllis Chudnow, 71, who will be married to Paul Chudnow, 71, for 51 years in June. "It's something to celebrate," Paul said. The couple lives in Fort Lauderdale . What happened 50 years ago I’m sure is very special to this couple, but even more special, even more meaningful, is that 51 years later, whatever they felt, whatever moment they had, 51 years ago, it’s still going on 51 years later! This couple, “has it going on” beyond what any deluded teenager thinks about “how they have it going on”, this is the real deal!

MAY 13 "EVOLUTION VS. CREATION"

WHY VENUS SPINS THE  WRONG WAY -AMERICAN SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL Our neighboring planet Venus is an oddball in many ways. For starters, it spins in the opposite direction from most other planets, including Earth, so that on Venus the sun rises in the west. Not that it happens often: a day there lasts a little more than 243 Earth-days, actually making it longer than a Venusian year, which is only about 224 Earth-days long. Many scientists believe that the long days are a result of the sun's strong pull on the planet. But scientists are still puzzled by Venus's retrograde, or backward, rotation. Evolution teaches that creation started by the "Big Bang Theory"; thence sending all sorts of particulars flying through the explosion through the momentum of a blast. If that were the case, the momentum of the blast, if we can somehow take a grand leap of faith that the blast created planets (big leap I know) than we can only conclude the planets would all be spinning in t...
