      While clearly IN NO WAY does this comfort the stunned, grieving immediate family, relatives, friends, colleagues and other loved ones, the sportsman died doing something he cherished and lived for -- not unlike the surfer at Morro Bay who was fatally attacked by the great, white shark last week.
      As stunningly beautiful and bountiful as Mother Nature is, e.g., the mountains and the sea, there are these rare times when Mother Nature turns on us. Yet statistically, the numbers pale in comparison to death caused by the usual suspects: deadly illnesses, fatal diseases, deadly accidents, fatal wounds from acts of violence and suicide brought on by insurmountable physical and emotional suffering.

      snow is way better than rain for fixing droughts! Rain runs off the dry land, taking all the top soil with it. Snow slowly melts into it, making every drop of water count!
      Last time we got snow in the west of NSW Australia, it was only a thin layer, enough for the frost to cause a lot of death of plants, but the joy was overwhelming, cause that 1mm of water was going to be fully absorbed into the soil, having the impact 5 times as much rain would have had. I'm shocked at how negatively this is being reported when it's such a blessing!

      Dear brothers and sisters, I am not going to mince words, but you are one of the Lost Tribes of Israel. Hidden behind coalitions, governments, traditions etc.
      When y'all ready, not now, but later when you can accept that the book actually had been heavily modified and that is why our Heavenly Parent is desperately trying to warn us. He wishes this upon no one. But because we repeatedly break the Ten Commandments.
      The only thing the bible is, is a Roman product filtered through by Constantine and the council he set up, while also handily changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, because they were a Sunday Sun worshipping, Greek gods infatuating pagan nation. How could anyone in power stand their own being converted to some "random" from Nazareth? (To put yourself in Constantine's mind).
      Just like a CD has a music order and its artists. So does the bible has its books and its writers. But the writers did not write for the bible. The prophets and the judges only wrote for their times. For the bible was only amalgamated around the year 325 AD with Authentic Jewish sources with prophecies that had come true, and the Master’s with the 12’s, and then “Apostle” Paul, the 13th.
      It did not fall from the sky, nor did "God" ever vowed to protect a man-made book made to relax His Laws and Commandments with paul's ridiculousness. A Man made book put together by Rome, corrupted and sold for money, with obviously stolen and incredible articulations within to appeal to the Goodness in us, but the tyranny available for authorities to abuse, namely Paul's epistles.
      None other, who else feels like paul in the bible, no one else, he seems to be the be all end all. Everything is permissible he says, tell that to Eve when she was about to eat the fruit in front of everyone who had ever been alive and they would slap Paul silly putting us through thousands of years of trouble and tribulations. (Eve was not told the Commandment not to eat, Women has the divine Gift of calling out the good in men from all the evil nature in him it is recorded in other literature that has “Jesus’s” quotes).
      The only thing that converted Romans faster than an earlier Iphone advert telling you the next one is better were healing miracles by faith, and somethings else the Apostles did to achieve healing miracles no one in church does today. That is why the bible was put together, this order of books, Genesis to Malachi, Matthew to Revelations. This order of books specifically, is of Roman origin. Especially the latter end, The New Testament, with paul's epistles. The bible logically should had been made by the Hebrews, the Jews, it is not!!!
      The only defining thing that says the Savior is with a group of people or someone, is of righteous behaviors, with faith prayer based healing miracles that accompany them. None of the churches today has any healing miracles, everyone is doing lip service on Sunday about how much they love "Jesus" like they are singing a song, then goes back to completely being in a forgetful state from Monday to Saturday. Read the Gospel of the Nazirenes, also known as the Gospel of the Holy 12. Gives you a definite answer on why there are hardly any healing miracles in the world today because of the heathen state we had fallen in. Read how it was found in 1870's, read how it was quoted by all the early church leaders and apostles, then later hidden in Tibet for almost 1700 years because Rome did not like the amount of people building up a new religion in front of their Greek God infatuation. The top brass will see an "anarchy" coming, if you understand power you will understand this corruption.

      If it helps, you pretend you found the documents online as if you found it in a lost cave and obviously it resonates with a much complete and higher moral teachings. For example, Yeshua whom they gave the name "Jesus Christ", who was Hebrew, was kind to Man/Woman and Animals. Thou shall not kill doesn't only mean humans, Father didn't make the Animals half heartedly, if you made the animals, how would you feel if you saw me slaughtering them and chewing them with our teeth but you cannot intervene willy nilly because it is Freewill till Judgement Day?
