Merely wild, or could it be considered dangerous?

The I's have it!!

Instincts ...there are occasions we have to rely on them.

Intuition ...holds a high acclaim in conversation, especially women's.

Intelligence ...shared by both genders, with wisdom being the correct use of that knowledge.

Inspiration ...from God; or to oppose and rather "conspire" to go against the revealed purpose for our lives.

Ideas ...we all have an assortment of them, good and bad.

Yes, ideas ...they are what seem to make or break a community, society, or nation of people. 

Thomas Edison had a bright idea ...and pursued many more.

Alfred Nobel had a dynamite idea!

Barnum and Bailey had both silly and daring ideas.

Orville and Wilbur had an idea that few thought would take flight ...most thought they had their heads in the clouds. But soon many joined them in reaching for the skies, and other spaced out ideas ...or was that out in space? Admit it, you would have been among the skeptics who thought they weren't Wright.

Many people agreed that Alexander Graham's idea rang a bell.

We anticipated that Cyrus McCormick would reap what he sowed.

Singer's idea was hanging from a thread, but only a few knew Howe much.

Okay, most of you know I could go on and on ...with my stale humor.

Many of you suffer from my same ailment, and could add to the list ...and I welcome that, as it is not always good to be alone.

But now I want to look at ideas of a different nature. 

I think that most of you are familiar with the name Christopher Columbus.

But most of you don't know that he was not the brave sailor most of us read that he was. He actually thought the world was flat.

His wife was a rather rough character, liking the salty wind in her hair.

She hung out with the sea dogs, and considered her husband a wimp, as he never left the house ...spending all his time studying maps, and trying to find an efficient way to fold them.

Christopher's wife and two of her friends, Neena and Maria, actually had a wild night on the sea with a few drunken sailors, and a storm came up, blowing them way off course.

Not shaken by fear, they drank for several more days, and when they finally sobered up, they had been blown all the way to where we now call America.

Sounds wild, right?

If this story popped up on one of these internet sites, how many of you would be inclined to believe it? 

Be honest now, think of all the wild stories you've already believed.

Can we even discern the wild stories from the truth anymore?

Some stories sound believable, and have a great following, but are not true.

And some of the true stories are presented in such an untrue way, that few people believe they are true. 

Many are trying to re-write history ...depicting things and people, not at all how they really were.

With the skill level of many of present day studies, we could come to think that the sun revolves around the earth ...after all, how can we argue with plain and reliable observation? 

Yes, there are many things I don't understand ...like Einstein's theory of relativity.

A chid genius, Jacob Barnett, of Hamilton County, Indiana, has said he feels he can disprove Einstein's theory.  

I guess that would make his theory an opposing theory ...as disproving means that the other is not correct, so both can't be right.

But isn't that intolerant ...saying something is actually wrong?

Our society has been doing so well with accepting that all views can be right ...right for us, anyway.

And isn't that what matters ...what is real for us?

I say ....NO!!!

Suppose I said that before the earth was created, that God created angels ...but they were different than they are now.

Their intelligence was consuming ...and all the angels were of substance, of flammable gases, and the active burning was the fuel for their intelligence.

Yes, I know this sounds like the Twilight Zone, but bear with me.

Most of the angels were hydrogen, second in number were those who were oxygen, and slightly less were sulphur.

Of course there was the head Hydro, the big Ox, and the supreme Sul ...as they were called. The supreme sulphur was named Lou ...or more commonly called Lou Sulphur.

Lou Sulphur was the brightest of his group, and with his increased intelligence he also realized that he had a special force that the others did not know about. They all had this force, but they just didn't realize it.

When he told the rest of the Sulphur group about it, they began to gravitate towards him.

With this, he was so absorbed in himself ...that soon all the others would be also.

He got larger and larger, and none that got near him could resist him ...they all became a part of him.

Soon the Hydrogen and Oxygen groups saw what was happening, but they felt they were powerless to do anything about it ...and though they outnumbered him individually, they feared they'd soon all be consumed, one by one.

There was only one thing they could do ...and that was to give up their own individuality, to combine themselves together.

But they couldn't do it the way Lou Sulphur was doing it, they'd all be consumed together ...and they could not combine with Lou Sulphur, as that would be playing right into his plan.

There were more Hydrogens, so two Hydrogens combined with one Oxygen.

They knew it would be the end for them ...at least for who they once were, but it was the only way.

It wasn't the only way ...because Sul was only pseudo supreme.  The truly Supreme only wanted to see if the others would sacrifice their very existence for the higher purpose.  The Sul group had literally done that also, but it was a matter of seeking ConSul, being "conned" into believing that which was not higher ...sacrificing for their own unknown inevitable loss.

The Hydrogen and Oxygen groups became a water molecule, knowing there would be no turning back. And with a flood of emotions, I mean, water, they extinguished Lou Sulphur ...ending his fiery existence, at least they thought so.

Who knew then, what the future would hold?

Well, you may find this story interesting, and even a bit entertaining ...but I made it up, and there is no claim other than to make one main point.

I look to the Bible as truth...and it does get dangerous to say all views are acceptable, or what matters is only what is real for me.

To say it works for me, is really invalid. Why? Well, if I support something that does not agree with the Word of God, which was given to guide us in truth...well, in truth, it will not work.

If we don't fear ...are we merely not interested? 

I guess it's possible a fly does not fear a swatter, it may merely react with instincts.

And too late ...it comes to its end, and that's the splat out truth.

Thanatophobia: fear of death, common to tens of thousands of species.

Veritaphobic ...only common to one species. "Fear of Truth"

1. Displaying hesitation or refusal to admit or 
recognize that something is true, or to accept 
the concept of truth itself. Usually born out of 
fear of offending someone or being held accountable to something constant.

2. Dismissal of the existence of absolutes.

3. Degradation of people who profess something as true or untrue.

4. Being willfully in denial. Gives rise to constant skepticism and doubt of everything.


Thanatophobic, or Veritaphobic ...I ask you, which one bugs you the most? I say, the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom (or let's make this clear, the Bible says) ...and offers eternal life, through Jesus Christ.

If this 'bugs" you, then perhaps it's because you've already formed your own S.W.A.T. team! (Someone Without Adequate Truth)

What's your buzz word?
