Mulling over Daryl Stout to STEVE ASHER 24 Sep 2005

Hi Daryl...

SA>In my case, I can't understand why He would accept someone as worthless
  >as me, when I spent much of my life in open rejection of Him, and was
  >reaping the consequences. 11 September 2001 is described as "the day
  >that changed the World", but 9 September 1984 was the day that changed
  >my life.

 DS>   Mine was March 28, 1978...the next day, I had all 4 of my wisdom
 DS> teeth taken out. 

1978 was about the time that I started searching "in earnest". I had
been poking around since (say) 1974, but was quite mocking of Christ,
Christianity, Christians etc, and supportive of human efforts to
transform the world (peace movement, green movement etc). However,
I started to see that we were heading in the direction where it would
be possible for Antichrist to appear & mark everyone for the purposes
of buying & selling.

My current dentist looked in my mouth when I first saw her, and said
the wisdom teeth had to go. I still have them, but I can see from the
Xrays that they serve little purpose.

 DS> They gave me a bit too much anesthetic, and I was
 DS> "high" in the chair, with "Here I am,
Lord...whoopee!!" :> I looked
 DS> like a squirrel gathering nuts for winter when I came back down to
 DS> Earth...and felt lousy as well. 

What anesthetic was it, gas? I've only ever had the local mouth-numbing
injection before drilling & filling ... I don't like dental work, until
the pain gets too much. :)

 DS> Then in June, 2000...I had to have the rest of my teeth 
 DS> extracted...went toothless for 3 months before
 DS> getting dentures. That's not the way to lose 25 pounds!!

 DS>   BTW, if you'd like to see some of my Gospel Poetry, go to
 DS> www.wx1der.com/swj.htm

I'm browsing around right now. We have at least one other common
interest - trains. :) I'm also interested in fire hydrants and
power poles - known here as stobie poles after the designer of
the local concrete & steel variety (Mr Stobie).

They are all on my rambling pages - http://www.txc.net.au/~xaragma

Cheers, Steve..
