Two Hundred Smiling Orphans
On a bright and sunny morning in the early January of 1994 I stood in the peaceful tranquillity of Janusz Korczak Square within the walls of Yad Vashem, Israel's famous monument to the victims of the Holocaust, which is perfectly sited near the Jerusalem Forest on the western slope of Mount Herzl (Mount of Remembrance), Jerusalem. I gazed in awe there at a large sculptured statue portraying a bearded man embracing a dozen small children as if he was protecting them from something or someone wicked. I was, in fact, looking at a fine statue standing approximately twice life size and...

legned proof
Past the field and smoke-filled highway he can see the late afternoon sky peeking its way through the smog and chaos caused by his arrival as he waits. Deep set eyes, standing tall, a mid length tan-duster on his back, rugged boots and a Yankees cap.
Holding a Fixation Bowie in his left hand, strapped with an AR-15 hanging off his right shoulder slightly touching his hip; he exhales a cold breath of determination and passion...
Intrigue races through his blood allowing him the power to feel; It lingers on, it shows in his face. ...

How Blacks Played a KEY ROLE In The Abolition of Slavery
usually think it was all whites, and no blacks
(except for Union soldiers), that brought an end to slavery.
Not so. Blacks played a central role.
They did it in the person of Dred Scott.
His lawsuit went all the way to the Supreme Court.
Chief Justice Taney. totally ruled against Dred Scott having any rights whatsoever.
Taney struck down the 3 compromises that Congress had put together over the previous three decades.
Taney ruled that slaves are property, pure and simple.
And since property is legal everywhere,
owning slaves is legal...

Heaven clears its coward clouds
crows ascend and ravens caw
as a man unfazed and proud
greets aloud the Devil's maw
the land trembles at his spear
sunlight screaming on his shield
as his roar defeats the fear
and vibrates far into the field
the coming shadow of his foes
stretches further than he sees
so his gaze begins to glow
for he is where he's meant to be
a growl of courage and respect
rises from one hundred men
their lives ready to neglect
for those they'll never see again
the Earth...

Woman Is The Glory of the Glory Of God = Woman Is The GREATEST Glory of God
Woman is the glory of Man" and "Man is the glory of God"(1st Corinthians 11.7).
So woman is the glory of the glory of God, you could say.
I framed this sentence deliberately so that i could say the "glory of the glory".
Why, well in Hebrew if you want to say the "greatest king," you say "king of kings."
The greatest or longest age/eon is "age of ages."
When the New Testament speaks of eternity or says "forever," in the Greek it says "aionos of aionos" (which translates into eon of eons.
The authors were bringing a hebrewism into the Greek.)
My point is...

Bushida Warrior
Death before dishonor
I live by a strict
warrior code
only carry cloth paper
and a bamboo pen
two instruments tucked
In my fundoshi robe
I travel long roads around the globe
I am discipline and trained to protect my household Intruders will never make it across the threshold
one tap to the throat will leave the body cold
I am a member of the Bushi
and kunoichi tribe
Samurai to the bone and soul
Jin tachi blade is plated of gold
Strapped around my back and shoulder
beautiful is the...

Heaven Sent ( Ex Girlfriend's Daughter)
She is an Angel ,
Angel sent from heaven
Her smile shows beauty
Beauty like Mona Lisa
Her beauty tend to shine
Shine on the mountain ,
Moon never beams ,
Without bring me
Beautiful Angel
Like sun shine
Sending its beams
Where everyone share and ,
Clearing all eyes
Make them seen hidden
Things that may guide ,
Guide to the right path
Her quietness speaks
She can't speak but listen
When swing her , staring
Like she wants speak to me
Maybe wonder what ,
Kind of Dad...

What Is The Importance Of Christ Appearing As LIGHT To Saul of Tarsus
Christ Appeared As Living Light to Saul of Tarsus on the road to Damascus (Acts 9.3).
Why is that important ??
Well we know that at the Second Coming, Christ will appear as "light at night"(Zechariah 14.4,7).
But by itself that event may seem insufficient to bring down the Antichrist regime (that will be ruling the world).
(Overthrowing the Antichrist is the purpose of the Second Coming - 2nd Thessalonians 2.7-8).
Just HOW does Christ's mere appearing in the sky = the POWER to overthrow the "INVINCIBLE ONE" ??
This is where Acts 9.3 comes in!! ...

The Love Of A Hebrew Maiden
I took her to the rebels near the bank of the Euphrates River.
She was a fearless and heroic Hebrew maiden,
The daughter of a chieftain of the twelve tribes of Israel,
A slave in a strange land full of sorcery and idolatry,
The prettiest woman among the captives in Babylon.
A Jewess in ragged clothes conspired against the oppressors.
The fetters of the heathens could not break her.
Her name was Gavriella, which means “God is my strength.”
She had borne more pain than any woman has ever felt,
But her unflinching...
