Well the mutterings of my mind bring me here again. I'm thinking about seeds and evolution and creation. What a mouth full huh? So many times I hear the evolutionists and the creationists going back and forth. Is it possible that both are correct? Some things evolve and other things are just as they were created.

If I were to say that man has walked this earth for millions of years, many would say that we are here for 6,000 years. Maybe that is true in a sense of the word "being". Is it possible that God planted the spirit of what we are into humans that had been here for millions of years? Is it possible that Adam and Eve were cave dwellers who suddenly realized God and spirit? I is and interesting thought anyway huh?

The Lower Carpathian Mountains by Bob Rich

Sat, 22 May 2004 03:05:53 GMT

Layer of land on layer of land, the mountains are a place of dreams, the image below I shot in December of 2003. It is my hope that children in 4003 are able to look at these mountain as humans have looked at them for thousands of years now.

Mankind has always found a great peace from speaking with his creator.

Creation In A Nut Shell

Sat, 22 May 2004 02:46:50 GMT

Wow it has been some time since I poster here. Life has been good. I have been thinking quite a bit about where mankind started and where humans started. For some reason it seems to me that in the beginning God created us man and woman as spiritual beings with no human body. When he relised our weaknesses he put us into the human body since it seemed to fit our need with our level of knowledge and intellectual promise. Before we were with God now we would find our individual path back to our creator.

This all is to say that humans existed millions of years ago and lived somewhat limited without the spirit that God would put into the being. When he did as all other animals, they procreated and began to cover the earth. So welcome all you spirit beings to your temporary home in the human body. Have you thought in your spirit lately or contemplated your creator? Your creator is always with you guiding you!

Honor and Honesty

Sun, 09 May 2004 02:45:44 GMT

Every now and then I feel inspired, right now I feel a message of honesty not in what you project but in how you live. Is money more than honor? I feel that the west is over taken with money and not honor. I feel ashamed of myself and of my country. The only object that seems to oil our stone is with money. Honor was forgotten about along the way.

I must say that I have never met a totally honest and honorable person. I include myself in that. We must aim for the mark, if we can reach it then fine. If we fail to reach it, may the Lord of hosts forgive us. I feel that when we look in the mirror we know who we are. Don't hurt another man or woman or child becuase you are different. Reach out your and and show them kindness. This was and is the teaching of the son of God, Jesus the lord of Lords! The Alpha and the Omega!

Mr. George W. Bush,

I saw on CNN tonight that your people are calling the death of more than a dozen Marines dead and twenty some Marines wounded as just a small problem in Iraq. I would think in my book as a disabled Vietnam veteran(me) that when one Marine dies for what he believes is fighting for his country then hit by an enemy bullet, should be a huge concern. If it was your dad that died there, its no telling what you would do. (Seems to most of us that is why you jumped to go there and take Sadam out. Becuase he threatened your dad.)

Please Mr. President of the United States and close friend of the family of Saud and business associate of the bin Lauden family please have your people speak better of those who give their lives and are maimed while serving you, Mr. Bush in a place they don't want to be.

A small uprising huh? I wish you could be there fighting with them. You might reconsider what you have your people feed the news media.

I was a vote for you in the last election. I now have a choice between you and the other guy. It is this Marine's thought that we need better men than either of you, leading this great country. I admit you come from a very successful family. It is the scrupples that bother me. I know your a great business man but I am not so sure that you represent the American people fairly. If you did maybe you would have spent those billions on our children and careers for their parents. You have killed the careers of many over 40 people. Now you have congress working on a way for all of us to find a bridge for our family to be sheltered under since you want to kill any benefits we already worked hard for. Did I mention healthcare? I think I won't go there.

Oh well it's my problem that I don't have money to buy into the defense system as you family has, not to mention the oil you and the family of Saud and bin Lauden seem to have so much control in.

Respectfully,

Bob Rich

Space, Sometime In The Future If We Allow It!

Tue, 06 Apr 2004 17:19:12 GMT

NASA Support it!

Today I'm wondering if we supported the space program here in the United States, it might make us a much better nation. It is possible that many of you might have missed the fact that it is becuase of the space program that much of what we know in medicine today might not exist. Computer and micro electronics would also be much further behind. I would venture to say that most of our sciences would be different if it hadn't been for NASA. All I can say is let your voice be heard when it comes to putting tax dollars behind NASA. It can create jobs and much better science. Let's spend our money on the children and the space program instead of world domination through war.

Most Scots 'want smoking ban'

Health campaigners want public spaces to be smoke free

More than three quarters of Scots want a ban on smoking in all public places, according to a BBC poll.

The consultation for the Your NHS programme on BBC One surveyed views of more than 600 Scots on issues such as obesity, smoking and sexual health.

It also found strong support for a ban on sweet advertising, the issuing of free condoms to secondary school pupils and health warnings on alcohol.

Anti-smoking group Ash welcomed the findings on smoking in public.

In Scotland, 77% of those surveyed supported the idea of a ban, slightly higher than the UK average of 73%.

Ever since Richard Shaver's stories of the Deros half a century ago, it seems that we have been trying to put aliens "underground", so to speak. Even further back than that, if one enters the world of myth and legend and of the hollow earth. Underground bases are certainly real. Is it any surprise to find that many, if not most, military bases and government centers have underground components? Think back to the 1950s and 60s, if you were alive then. If you're too young, then ask your parents. The cold war was raging, and Americans believed that there was a real danger of attack with nuclear weapons. In most every American This self-sufficient underground city was built to house the U.S. government in the event of a nuclear attack. It's now said to be the headquarters of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). These are just a few of the hundreds of underground installations of various sizes across the country. It would be no surprise at all to find that every U.S. military base, where it's practical, has an underground bunker. What about defense-related industries? Sure. State governments? Bunkers under Governor's mansions and state legislature buildings? Why not?	ALIENS UNDER THE GROUND? What do you think?
An Alien Base at Dulce? Many of these maps also purportedly show the locations of underground alien bases. Archuleta Mesa, near Dulce, New Mexico, is the place most often mentioned as the site of an underground alien base, with Area 51 being a close second. It's very likely that there is an underground facility at Area 51, but the evidence for an alien presence is apparently rumor and nothing more. How did Archuleta Mesa, or Mount Archuleta, become a suspected alien base? It goes back to about 1979, when Paul Bennewitz, a physicist from Albuquerque, NM, went up to the area to investigate cattle mutilations on ranches near Archuleta Mesa. Around the same time, Bennewitz and Dr. Leo Sprinkle made the acquaintance of Myrna Hansen, an abductee who claimed she had been taken to an underground base by aliens after being abducted in northern New Mexico. Apparently, Bennewitz put these two things together, plus a few UFO sightings that he himself had at Mount Archuleta, and came up with the idea that there must be an alien base inside the mountain. Bennewitz' theory was picked up by John Lear and others, and soon the idea had taken hold, with more stories of the base being added by people such as Phil Schneider. Perhaps Bennewitz should have looked closer to home. Richard Sauder says that there is a large underground base at Manzano, which was practically within shouting distance of Bennewitz' home. Is there a base, either alien or military, underneath Mount Archuleta? An Indian reservation is a very unlikely place for such a base. Reservations are owned by their Native American occupants, who generally don't take kindly to the government coming in and using their land for such purposes. A location on the Nevada Test Site would be more likely. Mount Archuleta has no security to speak of. The area is open to oil, gas, and coal exploration. Anyone can come and go as long as they don't antagonize the Jicarilla Indians. Several people have gone and checked out the site. Most people who go there don't find any evidence of an underground base. THIS LITTLE ARTICLE IS FROM THE FOLLOWING PAGE: http://ufos.about.com/cs/governmentsecrets/a/aa032204.htm

Word of the Day for Tuesday March 23, 2004

woebegone WOE-buh-gon; -bee-, adjective:
1. Beset or overwhelmed with woe; immersed in grief or sorrow; woeful.
2. Being in a sorry condition; dismal-looking; dilapidated; run-down.

Socrates, condemned to death by the people of Athens, prepares to drink a cup of hemlock, surrounded by woebegone friends.
--Alain De Botton, The Consolations of Philosophy

This woebegone lot includes Henry, a real-estate developer whose dream project has, like his marriage, slipped into bankruptcy; Henry's sister, Wiloma, who has hurled herself headlong into the arms of a New Age church to survive her own divorce; and Henry and Wiloma's decrepit Uncle Brendan, a former monk whose faith has eroded along with his health, stranding him in a nursing home.
--Jennifer Howard, review of The Forms of Water, by Andrea Barrett, New York Times, June 13, 1993

After 40 years as a producer he thinks of himself as a battered, scarred but well-armoured animal, "like an old turtle"; and if such creatures could speak they would probably sound like [him], a bit woebegone but drolly unsurprised by life's vicissitudes.
--"Time for another Hugo hit," Times (London), May 22, 2000

Woebegone is from Middle English wo begon, from wo (from Old English wo, woo, "grief") + begon, past participle of begon, "to go about, to beset," from Old English began, bigan, from bi-, "around, about" + gan, "to go."

The Old City

Mon, 22 Mar 2004 13:35:25 GMT

Have you ever stood in an old city and felt the centuries under your feet while you marveled at the fact that people stood where you are a thousand or more years ago. I can sometimes almost see the same seen as though it were back in the middle ages and the streets were full of Lords and Ladies with the beggars and merchants to fill in the scene. I know both Prague and Budapest give me that feeling. Many of the castles in Central Europe also have should we say this wonderful ghost that seems to fill your mind with visions of the long past.
