“First time for me with Messiah was a while back when my wife bought me tickets for my Bday. It was heavenly. Austin, Tx., Bass Concert Hall.
The videos of Jan Vogler on Dresden are informative, have you viewed them??

“I was in the college choir and sang in the performance of the Messiah for four years. The last couple of years I did it from memory.

Ha, and now I'm having my short term memory tested. Spent 4-hours being tested Tuesday by a Psychologist and his staff. Also, last week I had a 20-minute or longer MRI of my head. They did not find anything




wrong!”

“They didn't find anything? LOL. Better get a second opinion. You went into the chamber didn't you? I think we had this discussion.
Oh, if I only had my Sennheiser's for this concert...............note to Santa: new headphones.

“Hey Chappy do you have any thoughts on the "Army of God" pro or con that you could share with me?”

“Well, OO, many modern day 'prophets' with all kinds of screwy ideas: voices, signs, etc. and all for the purpose of vindicting their skewed ideas/ideals. Pro, wants to "do the Lord's will" - Con, well, read Romans 13:1-5 about how the things instituted (governments, principalities, and so on) are the 'ministers' set about to keep order in our world. This is a text about those who have been tasked with keeping order: Police, judges, and others. Eric Rudolph set himself up as his own law......wrong. Go here and read http://christiangallery.com/aog.html You might notice how it uses others words (FDR) in a twisted fashion to explain his own ideals, as the world ends in oblivion ("we are all destroyed"). Finally, let me ask you, does the Army of God seem right to you?
As far as the Bible and its teachings go, consider it this way: I buy a pair of crampons and use them for a few years on ice climbs, mountain treks, etc. Then one day I lose them on the trail, whereby you happen along, pick them up, and promptly take them home, strap them on with the sole purpose of airiating your lawn with them.

“could you please explain matthew 2:18, or am reading to far into it.”

“hold on, dinner time.......I'll get back to ya, bro.”

“Ok, I'm back, fat, and happy. Now the text you cite is about the birth of Jesus. You see Herod ruled the Roman world at the time...well, how about you read the chapter (Matt.2) then you will understand the prophecy that Jeremiah had predicted long (read hundreds of) years before and understand the event it was placed in. Herod killed all the children in Bethlehem (to try to get the baby Jesus in the process) which is a small hilltop city outside Jerusalem about five miles, which I visited in '95 and found to be a city of mostly stone structures, very ancient and thriving today. However Jeremiah received this prophecy, it was about this event in Matthew 2 he was prophesying about. check this site out http://ccel.org/ for good commentary on biblical subjects, check out "study Bibles". You'll find history, ancient first person accounts (Josephus) and cross references.”

“hey chappy, were in PA are you from?”

“New Castle, about 50 miles north of Pittsburgh.”

“I used to live in Pitts. more on the North Side. I love Pittsburgh”

“I learned a lot there....too damn much some would say....lol.”

“what made you move to TX of all places?”

“family, when I got out of the service, they were all in Texas, so I came here too.”

“you like it better? i mean it is sooo hot there..”

“yeah, on my last hike, a three nighter, I lost ten pounds on the trail.....temp was in the nineties. It gets too hot here for my yankee blood sometimes but my wife, a Texas girl, gets cold if the temp drops below 72.”

“Hey Chappy!
I hear you are the guru of Texas trails - what does TX have to offer? Places I should check out for a trip in mid/early March?”

“I sent you an email. I would love your input!”
