The worst place to live in America, is better than the best place to live in any other part of the world. Unless, of course, You’re Rich! In which case, you’re probably hated in America.
The Scariest Verse in the Bible.
Ecclesiastes 11:3 “If the clouds be full of rain, they empty upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.”
Translation: Are you having a nice life?
Then so Too you may expect to have a nice, afterlife. But if your life isn’t so great… if, in fact; your life is Miserable and wretched and Poor… then so too, “afterlife”.
Ecclesiastes! The book containing the sum of Solomon’s wisdom. After reading this book, -for myself- this is what I have come to know. “The More things Change, the More they stay the Same!”
Ecclesiastes 1:9 “That which hath been, shall be again. And that which was done, done again. There is no new thing under the sun.”
Solomon had an ability to not only engage in worldly things, but to see them from a far even while he was engaged in them. Which, I’m guessing, is how he was able to escape those things once involved (such as addictions), as he could see that they were nothing more than Vanity, and a Waste, of his time.
Sex, Drugs, Wine, and even outright Sin. He did it All. And intentionally which, most of us wouldn’t even consider sinning “intentionally”. Nevertheless, because Solomon did what he did, he could easily say; “Been there, done that, Moved On!”
Do you realize how powerful that statement is?
President George Bush: “I built a Nation!”
Solomon: “Yep. Been there, done that, Moved On!”
In deed Solomon chalked his nation building up to nothing more than Vanity, and a waste of his time. “Why?” Because it had been done before. And would be done many times again. (No glory in doing something that has already been done. Only vanity.)
Truth: The more things change, the More they stay the same! Behold the Scientist of Our time. They marvel at the Universe saying; “it is an Ever-Changing universe”. Yet, the more it changes, the More it stays the same. Worlds collide, worlds are formed. (Nothing new Above the sun either, it would seem.)
We can expect therefore,
that Even in Death (as the tree falls), NOTHING CHANGES!!!
Are you enjoying life, Now?
Are you enjoying Your life, Now?
If your answers are “no”, then you best be discovering the wisdom that is Solomon’s. For in truth, suicide will not change your life; but only damn you to it!
Now let me ask you this!
Is your life heaven? Or is it, Hell?
Yet before you answer, remember this. Jesus said; “there is a WAR in heaven, and the Strong man will take it by force”. How then, is heaven any different from Our own world?
It Isn’t! For there is No New Thing, even Beyond the sun.
In truth, as well as in deed therefore. The Scariest verse in the bible is…
Ecclesiastes 11:3 -
"in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be."
or in other words;
“If you Die in Hell, you shall Remain in hell.”

Mission: Armageddon
Nasa plans landing on asteroid
· US eyes 2000SG344 for Armageddon-type mission
· Rock seen as stepping stone to deep space
It was once considered the most dangerous object in the universe, heading for Earth with the explosive power of 84 Hiroshimas. Now an asteroid called 2000SG344, a lump of rock barely the size of a large yacht, is in the spotlight again, this time as a contender for the next giant leap for mankind.
…The mission - sending astronauts on a three-month journey to the hurtling asteroid, scientists believe they would learn more about the psychological effects of long-term missions and the risks of working in deep space, and it would allow astronauts to test kits to convert subsurface ice into drinking water, breathable oxygen and even hydrogen to top up rocket fuel. All of which would be invaluable before embarking on a two-year expedition to Mars.

Man with suicide victim’s heart, commits suicide
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. - A man who received a heart transplant 12 years ago and later married the donor’s widow died the same way the donor did, authorities said: of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
[excerpt] Graham, who was director of the Heritage golf tournament at Sea Pines from 1979 to 1983, was on the verge of congestive heart failure in 1995 when he got a call that a heart was available in Charleston.
[excerpt] That heart was from Terry Cottle, 33, who had shot himself, Berkeley County Coroner Glenn Rhoad said.
Grateful for his new heart, Graham began writing letters to the donor’s family to thank them. In January 1997, Graham met his donor’s widow, Cheryl Cottle, then 28, in Charleston.
“I felt like I had known her for years,” Graham told The (Hilton Head) Island Packet for a story in 2006. “I couldn’t keep my eyes off her. I just stared.”

A Bizarre usage of dolls.
This story, submitted by digger “fmoserv”, is not getting many diggs (at digg.com), but it is nonetheless, Interesting. Dolls, hundreds, even Thousands, hung from every structure in this person’s backyard.
Some have been decapitated. While others, well, they have not been treated so well either. One scene/display, has many dolls Nailed to a tree. (Reminiscent, of the “Tree of Death”, in the movie “300″.)
Clicking the “Read Dolls” link below, will take you to a website blogpost with Many pictures of Many Dolls. It is titled, “A Voodoo Sect Shelter?” But as for judgment, the Trash Dispatch will leave that up to you.
Is this a shelter for some Voodoo Cult?
Or is it simply the home of a person Obsessed?
Is it the Torture Chamber of a Psychopath?
Or is it the home of one who was Victimized?
Again, The Trash Dispatch leaves all judgment, up to you.
Trash Dispatch: from digg.com,
In case you haven’t heard, rumor has it there’s some UFOs flying around over Texas. While normally extraterrestrial spacecraft are spotted by buck-toothed oddballs from the middle of the nowhere, this sighting comes from a bunch of seemingly normal people — like business owners, pilots, and even police officers.
But the real question is: what does the mean for our planet? If aliens can fly all the way here in super-sleek, impossible-to-detect intergalactic orbs, surely they have the technology to power their lives without spewing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere — right?…
… Admittedly this isn’t exactly a mainstream theory, but at least one person smart enough to earn a PhD believes that: “There is substantial evidence to suggest that reverse engineered ET technologies have been used in the development of energy sources for ‘black projects’ such as the anti-gravity propulsion system that is claimed to fuel the B2 bomber.”

Previous incidents haven't hurt attendance elsewhere
"Attendance at the Aquarium of the Americas in New Orleans wasn't hurt in the weeks after a walkway collapsed and 10 people fell into a 400,000-gallon shark tank in 2002, spokeswoman Melissa Lee said."I would say certainly interest spiked," Lee said. "There's always a bit of morbid curiosity of people wanting to see where an accident took place." "
But also that;
In March 2004, a 340-pound gorilla named Jabari escaped the Dallas Zoo, went on a 40-minute rampage through a forest and attacked four people, including a toddler, before officers shot it to death. ...
... The zoo reopened the day after the attacks, with the gorilla habitat closed, and officials offered free admission to draw visitors back, Eckert said.
"We found that people were actually quite understanding," she said, citing a public opinion study conducted by the zoo shortly before the habitat reopened. "People, if anything, thought maybe we needed more money or something."
Except for the fact that Winter has beset most of the country, nation wide zoo attendance might well have increased, as merely speaking the word Zoo, invokes all kinds of Dreams of Wonder and Fantasy. "Why, I think I might just go to the Zoo myself. C-ya."
It is therefore the opinion of the Trash Dispatch, that we should "Fix the Tiger Pit, and make it Deeper. *But not too deep! After all, a visit to the Zoo just got a whole lot more Exciting!"
