The rants, rambles, and otherwise uninteresting happenings in the life of...well, ME, you might say. You mean you wanna know more? Ok ok, you have my warning! (For you who want to know lots more about me, go here.)
Did you know there are still real, live
dinosaurs living on the earth at this moment? I don't mean turtles,
crocodiles, and snakes (which technically aren't dinosaurs but are
reptiles and are "related" to dinosaurs), I mean real
live donosaurs. Have you ever heard of the Loch Ness Monster?
(http://www.genesispark.org/genpark/nessie/nessie.htm) How about Champ,
from Lake Champlain?
Kent Hovind (from www.drdino.com) has a fascinating video on dinosaurs
entitled "Dinosaurs and the Bible" (download here:
http://drdino.com/downloads.php). Here
(http://www.algonet.se/~tourtel/hovind_seminar/seminar_part3b.html) is
a partial transcript of his video on dinos. Here is a particular story
that was scary:
In Pensacola, Florida, where I live, in 1962 five teenagers decided to
go scuba diving. If you go off the coast about two miles there is an
old sunken ship right off the harbor where the Navy base is. Here is
the story that Edward Brian McCleary wrote. He was the only survivor.
Five teenagers went scuba diving out by this sunken ship in 1962.
Edward lives in Jacksonville, Florida now and he refuses to talk about
it.
"We were in an Air Force rescue raft bound for a sunken
ship a few miles off the coast. Midway out, we were caught in a storm
and dragged out to sea. When the storm cleared, we were in a dense
fog….We began to hear strange noises, rather like the splashing of a
porpoise…
also
a sickening odor like that of dead fish. The noise got closer to the
raft and it was then we heard a loud hissing sound. Out in the fog we
saw what looked like a long pole, about ten feet high, sticking
straight up out of the water. On top was a bulb like structure." Like a
light bulb? Round with a beak on it. "It bent in the middle and went
under. It appeared several more times getting closer to the raft." "The
silence was broken once again by something out of the fog. I can only
describe it as a high-pitched whine. We panicked. All five of us put on
our fins and went into the water….‘Keep together and try for the ship,’
I yelled. After we were in the water we became split up in the fog.
From behind I could hear the screams of my comrades one by one. I got a
closer look at the thing just before my last friend went under. The
neck was about twelve feet long, brownish- green and smooth looking.
The head was like that of a sea-turtle except more elongated, with
teeth.…There appeared to be what looked like a dorsal fin when it dove
under for the last time. Also, as best I am able to recall, the eyes
were green with oval pupils." His four friends got eaten by it. He
heard them screaming as they went under. He said, "I finally made it to
the ship, the top of which protruded from the water, and stayed there
for most of the night, early that morning I swam to shore and was found
by the rescue unit." Only survivor.
In late 1998, I was preaching in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida. A lady came
up to me after the service, and I told this story, and she said, "Mr.
Hovind, my name is Val Bill. My step-son, Larry Bill, was one of the
boys that was eaten." She said his dad was involved in search and
rescue for the president. He was real high up in Navy Search and
Rescue. And he was in charge of trying to find his own son and they
searched for days and didn’t find a clue. One body was found. One boy
apparently panicked and drowned. The other three apparently were eaten.
You can call Val Bill. Her address is 612 Powell Dr. N.E., Fort Walton
Beach, FL 32547. You can write her a letter.
Scary, isn't it? Either read the transcript or watch the video...VERY fascinating and informative!

Ok, that angle doesn't work. Let's come from two different angles.Did you know that if you have a piece of tarnished silver and no Tarnex, you can use toothpaste? Believe me! Dab toothpaste on the item, and scrub with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Then rinse in water. I had a black (and I mean BLACK) ring, which Mom said was silver. She suggested using toothpaste. Friends, that little ring is almost as good as new!
Toothpaste...who would've ever thought?
I'll tell you a secret...it's the baking soda in the toothpaste. So, if you don't use toothpaste for fear of flouride or Alzheimer's (caused by aluminum), get your item a little wet and sprinkle baking soda on it, then scrub.
I've been reading a book called "The Vanishing Proofs of Evolution" by Thomas F. Heinze. Very good book! 
Today, I came across this:
"Scalp and Ear Muscles
The muscles that move the scalp and ears are often cited as vestigial. Mine are not vestigial. I can easily move my scalp and ears and often twitch one or the other to chase off flies. Evolutionist writers who use this argument are seriously handicapped. They have to lift a hand from the keyboard for every fly that approaches, so I will probably eliminate them in the struggle for the survival of the fittest."
I didn't know those were supposed to be vestigial 
or that anyone uses them as proofs of evolution, but what he said is true! 
I twitch my ears all the time! 
Did you know early man (meaning Adam, etc) was smart not stupid like all the textbooks want you to believe? Think about it.
Adam 1. walked, 2. talked, 3. named the animals, and 4. got married, all in the first day!
Did you know the appendix isn't actually a vestigal organ that has no use? It has been discovered that people who have had their appendix removed are more likely to get cancer than people who still have their appendix intact.
