First you make a stone of your heart.
And if you find your hands still willing,
You can turn murder into art.
Murder by number,
one, two, three.
It's as easy to learn,
as your A, B.c.
A CLOSER LOOK AT THE RAPTURE - by Bill Britton:
VERY DARK AND NO BRIGHTNESS
Amos 5:18,20: "Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! To what end is it for you? The day of the Lord is darkness, and not light. . Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it?"
Then in verse 21 the prophet goes on to say that the Lord hates their religious activity, their ceremonies, for their worship is from the lips only, and not from the heart. These are religious people He is talking to, religious people who have rejected His Word. And in Amos 8:9 He says, "And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord God, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day."
Yes, in the day of clarity, in the bright noon day of God's glory, they will not see, they will not understand because to them it is a day of darkness with no light. Zephaniah 1:14-15 tells us: "The great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly . . . That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness."
THE LIGHT SHALL RISE
Glory to Jesus,
out of the midst of this dark picture there will arise a people who not only
will HAVE light,
they
will BE the light
to
bring this dark world out of confusion and death.
Of them Isaiah spoke when he said
(58:10),
"then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness shall be as the noon day."
Prov 4:18
"But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day."

half
the world's awake as the other half sleeps;
half
the world sleeps as another half awakes?

I'm sorry for the pain I caused you. It was not my intention. I do not deny having personal problems. Was actually reaching out for some help.
Again, I apoligize for barging into your home and upsetting Janet. I do not own a gun or plan to.

Subject: Contact and Boundaries
Hello Jim Ed,
You must know that in the future, there will be clear boundaries for making contact with Janet and me, especially Janet. This is not to say there will be no further contacts with us, but it must be under a number of conditions.
Janet wanted to add her word before we set the conditions together. Here is her note to you:
Jim Ed,
I was more than a little disturbed by your visit on Wednesday. In the spirit of neighborliness and the Thanksgiving holiday coming up, I opened our house to you, even though I felt s bit uncomfortable doing so, especially in Bob?s absence.
We ironed out what you perceived to be a rejection on my part.
When you wanted to share the symbols that are meaningful to you, I was interested, although having a hard time ?getting it? in the way you told it to me. No input from me seemed to even get through to you, or matter at all.
I was very disturbed when you talked of your depression, thinking about getting your gun, and when you told me you are the ?Anti-Christ? and a ?crack-head? I began to be somewhat afraid of you and wished I had not opened my door to you.
When I told you I needed medications and even that didn?t stop your monologue, I said it again and began to leave the room. At that point you did thank me for listening and left, saying you would leave your stuff so you could come back. You either didn?t hear me or didn?t pay attention when I said, ?No, take them with you.?
Bob and I both feel we and our space were violated, and Bob has drawn up some conditions under which we may all co-exist as neighbors. I concur with what he has written below. Janet
The Conditions:
1. There can be no further non-negotiated visits on your part with either or both of us.
2. We are not available to participte in your theological doctrines
which you presented to Janet for more than one hour and fifteen minutes. You failed to leave our house until the second time Janet indicated she needed a break for medicines. You may not know that Janet has Parkinson's and extended stressful events activate her symptoms. Furthermore, Janet needed to take her
medicines and tried to bring your theological discourse to a close,
but you continued. Furthermore, you left your basket of possessions in
our house in order that you would have assurance of returning to our
house. That is far too presumptuous for us.
3. You do not have permission to enter our property or phone our house
unless you can abide by these limits.
4. We do not listen to religious talk from anyone, let alone invite
them into our home. We do not do that with you. We share our faith
with people who ask questions of us and our religious convictions. You
had no questions for Janet, only pressing her to agree with your
doctrine.

Dr. Gary,
I just got back from Georgia Regional Hospital with copies of my medical records as well as those from Dekalb Crisis Center. While I was there, I spoke to my doctor, Dr. Parker, a small black women. I had just received another pathetic letter from my mother, whom I stopped all communication with, still believing her son has a mental illness. What I wanted to know from Dr. Parker, was my diagnosis which not told to me on release, as well as, what was told to my mother.
Bipolar being the diagnosis, I tried to show her copies from my blog www.twistedpurplecow.blogspot.com which came to creation, from my anger at both you and Janet concurring against me from right across the street. You may or not be aware, but over the cellphone with my family in Arkansas, you've concurred with my mother against me as well; being all it took sending my life into a tail spin. It does not have to be intentional to fit the definition of "conspiracy."
Dr. Parker refused and began to get nervous, anxious, in a hurry to rush me out of the facility. Very calmly and professionally, I told her:
"Dr. Parker, hate to inform you; not only have you have failed in your responsibility to me as your patient, it's ..not.. bipolar if good reasons."
She could not even explain to me what happens when I start thinking ...clearer... on medication that takes months to see any results? How would we know when it's working? Not even what made her think I wasn't thinking .....clearly...now? Making it worth riskng serious effect associated with those medicines?
Last thing she said as she pushed me out the door:
"If you yell at your neighbors across the street again, you will be brought back here."
That was all I needed to know.
As my definition of "LIBERAL" is honest, fair, and reasonable; believe I have accummulated enought evidence to justify my end,
the reason being:
Those with a supplus are better able to control their circumstances; those without are control by them. One is not always able to excercise good judgment.
"Those" and "them" being the day Janet started concurring with you against me, a simple honest man with a hearing impairment keeping distance between him and his dysfunction family in Arkansas.
I'm getting ready to find a civil lawyer to represent me here in Atlanta; one in Arkansas representing both my finacial interest here and there in Prescott.
There will be no more yelling and screaming. You will be amazed how much I've learned just living across the street from George Robert Gary, Thb. just know his wife; the resourses available to him I did not. All I wanted that day I scared Janet was some grandfatherly advice at that time.
My problem being then: how does one go ask for help if not sure where to begin?
Wanted some advise on where to go; not able to understand some returns with personilized search engine on my computer as well as an opportunity/openening for a mid-life crisis career change.
James Edward Avery, DVM is not unempolyed; just retired from clinical practice of veterinary medicine wanting into the polical arena.
Until you two stop concurring against me and remove that restraining order; you are neither liberal or mature Christian inside or outside a church. I do understand confict of interest, and why resistent to women as ordained ministers; do not have to respect yours, Emory University, even that of my family if not fair, reasonable with me.
Why can't Phil be a writer as well as a preacher, Bob?
Just call it fiction.
All he has to do is make sense.
Next move is your's and Janet.
Only then will I be able to forgive and forget.
Total Grace; not Christian Grace.
AN INCLUSIVE(?)THEORY(?)OF MINISTRY:
"NEXT."

"I LIKE YOUR CHRIST. I DO NOT LIKE YOUR CHRISTIANS.
YOUR CHRISTIANS
ARE
SO UN-CHRIST LIKE.

"There is a need to maintain a kind of balance of intellectual power. If no atheist philosophers engaged with the issue of God's existence, then the field would be left to the believers. We would then have the impression that only the religious deal with these issues with intelligence and sophistication. That would give succour to the legions of believers who have no interest in theology, but like to know others are taking care of it for them. We need books like this, therefore, not to win the battle–-for it can't be won-–but simply to show the enemy isn't off the hook."
The word "enemy" bit strong of a word.
I
do not consider people of faith my enemy;
nor
do I believe it was "Muslim who killed us on 9/11," as O'Reilly said it on much talked about episode of The View.
From a homosexual's point of view, the Bible or the Quran, same
as
"six and half a dozen."
If right is right, and wrong is wrong; then anything not quite right nor completely wrong has to fall somewhere in between.
Believe most would agree a non-believer, who's also a homosexual, automatically gets placed the closest to wrong. But where does one view themselves on that line in relation with people like Rev. Phelps, Bishop Long, Brother Ted? Oh what the hell; let's put The Cheney Family on there, as well?
The only way I can relate to this question is the fact, that out of three children, two sons who were hearing impaired that did not have a good relationship with, much respect for their father; the daughter, in every sense normal, who right up to his death, despite his seeming indifferent, wanted her father proud, always seeking his approval.
Probably should add, my brother , 5 years older than me, an alcoholic who until very recently, lived at home.
Yet in the end, in the Will, everything was split evenly three ways. And my sister gave him 2 granddaughters as well.
Whatever it was in the beginning.......it's neutral.
