What I won't write about

Too many conflicts are intentionally committed to lead people astray, distract them or convince them to make bad decisions. I won't get into a conversation about the mosque at "ground zero". It is a bunch of garbage designed to get people to accept the government having more control over religion. That is all it is. I won't get into long conversations about how the "illegal aliens" are responsible for every crime or problem.

I won't get into discussions on the blog about the BP oil spill. There is more than enough out there on it and everybody can see it is just to get us to stop using oil. The latest garbage about how we have withdrawn our fighting troops from Iraq is sufficiently silly that anyone can see we still have troops there and they will be fighting. The finger scanners at fitness gyms really speak for themselves and your loss of privacy.

The magician has nothing on politicians. Misdirection is there stock and trade. The mass media is just its tool. They post outrageous images and issues and then watch as we repeat them. It is all orchestrated.

Now, I will talk about things that are odd. This article for instance, it is about a copper scroll that was found along with the dead sea scrolls. It tells where treasure is hidden. Part of the treasure is perfumes and oil, the discussion is all over the gold and silver. It then talks about how they think it may be things taken from the temple in Jerusalem, that were hidden just before the temple was sacked by the Romans. Now let me tell you why this article is important.

The Israeli's have a place where all of the gold and silver things that went in the temple have been recreated. Here is what they don't know, what oils and spices and perfumes were used in the ceremonies. You see, the perfumes and oils were very important. Someone who attempted to use the wrong stuff before God was killed. He said he did not want unknown scents. On a few occasions God mentioned the pleasing smell. I would think knowing what the perfumes and oils were would be very important to the group that wants to rebuild the temple.

Oh yes, and I forgot. Remember earlier this year when an Ethiopian church said they were going to display the ark of the covenant? I posted about it. The following day they met with the pope and said they were going to wait because it wasn't time. They never said that they would wait forever.

What does Israel do if they find the needed oils and perfumes and then Ethiopia shows the ark? If they have absolutely everything they need to rebuild the third temple how do they not? How can they keep their national identity, as the jews, if they do not rebuild the temple? Their "right to the land" is based on their following the law, on being jews. How do they justify, to themselves, that they have anything in common if not their religious beliefs? You see the jews in Israel are Russian, Polish, French, Ethiopian and from everywhere else you can imagine.

I am not taking sides, it is just a fascinating question to me. They took Jerusalem from it's prior government. The justification was that it was their homeland. That God had given it to them. How do you then not rebuild his temple when you have everything you need? Their justification for being there at all is lost if they do not do what it is they were given to do? If they do not rebuild the temple their whole justification for taking any land from the Palestinians is gone. It is reduced to "we needed a place to stay so we took yours".

Israel's supporters have the same problem. They support them for being there because they believe it is their "promised land", yeah, well who promised it? If they don't say God they better have an even better explanation for taking a country away from people who did live there.

See, this little scroll is a problem. It is the last piece necessary to force this conversation amongst the Israelis. If you base your actions on a belief set or religion, eventually you have to face the hard questions. Believe me. In Texas-No-Limit we have a saying, "Are you all or are you all out". Where the rubber hits the road. The buck stops here. Where the Sxxx hits the fan. Put up or shut up. All say about the same thing.

I didn't both posting another link; but, in the dead sea scrolls they found the instructions and design of the temple. What happens in Israel as their people are confronted with the fact that they have everything to rebuild the temple and begin ceremonies? It is like the quantum physicist being confronted with unconnected things that are supposedly inanimate reacting to each other when unconnected.

I used to joke about what would happen if a Serial Killer found God. It was a edge question to see if people believed in salvation for the worst of us. I would explain that one was saved if their heart caused them to have a changed life, not becoming perfect, improving. I asked if a serial killer was saved and began killing less and less (serial killers are known for killing more and more until caught or killed), would he have a changed life? It was an extreme to test beliefs. The Kansas serial killer known as BTK did just that.

I found about BTK a couple of years ago, just before he reappeared. I determined he was different because his frequency decreased. I determined he was a church goer. Turns out he was, he was their Deacon. He wrote some of his files to the police on a computer that was owned by the church. He even took one of his victims and posed them for pictures in the church. He is a very disturbed and confused individual.

Good and evil are opposites. Sometimes opposites attract. While every victim of crime is to be felt sorry for, Nancy Fox stood out for me. As I read up on what BTK had done, that young lady just kicked me in the head. She had a backbone of steel, I mean she was one unafraid young lady. She made her way through the world by herself. I might add that she was quite a looker, very beautiful. She was killed by Dennis Rader, BTK, twit. My heart cries for all of his victim's; but, Nancy Fox always touched me on a personal and deep level.

When we read of tragedies we always end up finding one story the one that just strikes our heart. Miss Nancy Fox struck me and I kept reading about the case. I was not stuck by her death as much as I was struck by what a courageous lady she was. While the a-hole held a gun on her and said he was going to rape her, she asked to have a cigarette and get it over with as quickly as possible. All the people he killed were real people and their stories are stories of courage. Mrs. Wegerle fought with everything she had and the police suspected her husband for years. I pray for him and all of the people who died friends and loved ones.

Having said all that I have, Miss Nancy Fox was the person I most would have enjoyed getting to know. Every life is special and everybody has meaning. We choose what that meaning is and we choose what is important. We live with the consequences. Sometimes we cannot see the consequences in advance, we then have to live with our choices alone. That is the place where the proton must make a choice (prior post). The outcome is already determined, it is our choices that are not.

My brain is tired, it is bedtime. I did not finish this post; but, I will post it anyways. Be well and have a great week.
