Does God Exist?
For me a big yes. As a believer may I greet everyone a very Merry Christmas and peace to all as well.
What a fitting time to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus, who's teachings are all about being good.
I do know that Atheism (disbelief or lack of belief on the existence of God) and Agnosticism (the existence of God is unknown or unknowable) are also part of humanity. I am not here to disrespect the belief or non thereof of everyone but to share mine and why I do.
I do wish that we can all share our opinions on this topic in a civil and mature way. I am lucky I live in a country that protects this right, the right to believe or not believe. In your country, do you have a choice?
Thank you all for reading and or sharing your opinions if you do.
If you have doubts, please read the two books written by1. Dr. Brian Weiss, Many Lives Many Masters; and Dr. Eben Alexander, Proof of heaven. That's if you are in search for knowledge and have an open mind..
NOTE: FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE. EXPLANATION ISN'T NEEDED AND THOSE WHO DON'T BELIEVE, EXPLANATION IS IMPOSSIBLE.

Windows vs Ford
For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way
computers have enhanced our lives, read on.
At a computer expo (COMDEX),
Bill Gates
Description: cid:PMsuDhddoF8MRAPztBDa
reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated,
"If Ford had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we
would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."
In response to Bill's comments,
Ford
Description: cid:PrfRPSUgV76PemI4n5LV
issued a press release stating:
If Ford had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars
with the following characteristics (and I just love this part):
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash.........twice a day.
2.. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3... Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side
of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows
before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
4.... Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down
and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5..... Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and
twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.
6...... The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single
"This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.
7....... The airbag system would ask, "Are you sure?" before deploying.
8........ Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
9......... Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
10.......... You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.
PS - I'd like to add that when all else fails, you could call "customer service"
in some foreign country and be instructed in some foreign language
how to fix your car yourself!
Please share this with your friends who love - but sometimes hate - their computer!

What If The World As We Know It Ended In A Few Months?
We all tend to believe that time is on our side and we have nothing but our everyday lives to think about. Sure, it is always good to be balanced between what if's, the present and the future.
However, what if you didn't die from some disease or a terrible accident, or natural causes?
Suppose you did not have electricity or free running water available tomorrow and then your food supply is running low or is spoiling now, and the stores are empty?
What would you think about? What would you do? It would be too late to make a plan or to think logically about it.
These events happen all of the time in other places, but usually only for a few months. How difficult it must have been for those who endured such tragedies to cope and wait on supplies or help.
I am talking about globally and permanently. Do you think that you will starve or become dehydrated, die at the hands of looters, be able to gain assistance from some unknown source, wait for the government to provide, or something more like Judgment Day?
How important would politics, prejudice, racial discriminations, global warming, taxes, climate change, or arms control be?
We are all so distracted with life in general, that any major event would knock us on our butts and we would not be prepared for it.
The common speculations are that an EMP would hit us and that it would knock out our already fragile power grid. Without power, our military would be useless because it is so technically advanced now. There would not be any police or 911 to call. There would be no communication. Once the store shelves become empty, then the looting would begin. People in their own homes would not be safe, and if you own land and grow your own food, the government has the right to take it all from you. You may have to get in line at a FEMA Camp set up by the government and hope to get food for your starving family or be detained within its confines permanently like sheep to the slaughter.
Imagine living in darkness constantly other than what sunshine you have during the day that is if you felt safe enough to venture outdoors.
What about sanitation? Without water, things tend to get messy and unsanitary. Do you have enough clothes to wear since you will not be able to wash them?
Water will be in short supply. The western United States has been in a drought for the past 13 years and that will only worsen. How will you find enough water for your family's needs on short notice?
Communication would be non-existent. Everything electrical would be fried and of no use. At least during 9-11 we had cell phones, satellites, cable, and television. None of that would be available to us. We would just believe that it was a blackout or a temporary disruption of some sort.
These are just the very basic concerns that we should all be aware of even if it never happens or if it does, then you could at least have a short-term plan and supplies handy so that you don't have to panic and risk your life to gain what you need at the last minute.
What would you regret? That lost love you didn't pursue? How about quality time with your family? Going to the nursing home to see your mother? What about that close friend you didn't have time to call? How about that vacation you put off because it wasn't the right time? Remember all of those things in storage that you didn't get to see or use one last time? How about that promise you didn't keep? Or that book that didn't get published because it wasn't perfect?
Just something to think about...

Biden compared anyone who disagreed with him to Jefferson Davis
If you heard Joe Biden speak on voting rights yesterday, you also heard him compare anyone that disagreed with him to Jefferson Davis.
So, who was Jefferson Davis?
•Davis was a Democrat, elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1845 for Mississippi.
•In 1851, Davis returned to the Senate.
•In the 1860 presidential election, Davis opposed the candidate of Northern Democrats Stephen A. Douglas, a champion of popular sovereignty, and joined Southern Democrats in supporting John C. Breckinridge, who demanded federal government protection for slave holdings.
•Mississippi seceded from the Union on January 10th, 1861. 12 days later, after resigning from the Senate, Davis was appointed Major General for the army of Mississippi.
•Davis was chosen as the Provisional President of the Confederacy during the Confederate Convention in Alabama.
•Davis was convinced he was fighting for States rights. He thought States should have the right to make human beings slaves.
•After the war, Davis lost his citizenship. He wanted to continue fighting a guerilla style campaign against the North.
•In 1978, Joe Biden was one of the yes votes that gave Jefferson Davis back his citizenship posthumously. Jimmy Carter signed that bill.
Joe Biden is closer to Jefferson Davis than the vast majority of Americans. Never before has an American President called any American who didn't like his federal takeover of elections, called 'The Voting Rights Act', both racist and domestic terrorists.

Hidden thoughts
If you put more sugar or milk in your coffee, while you are in a hotel than you do at home, then you are predisposed to spoilage
If you provide yourself with more food than you can eat at weddings and open buffets just because someone else will pay the bill then if you have the opportunity to eat public money, you will
If you usually skip people in queues you will have the possibility of climbing on the shoulders of others to gain power
If you consider that what you pick up from the street whether money or otherwise is your right then you have signs of thieves
If you care about knowing the last name instead of the first name then you are a racist and you are likely to help people simply because of their origins And also if you care about people not ideology and achievements
If you love a woman just because she does not cost you anything then you are definitely cheap and it is permissible to sell yourself to whoever will pay the price
If you usually exceed traffic lights, then you are prepared for all violations
Honesty is what you do between yourself and yourself not what you do in the presence of people

Ann: "Haha, there are you, it's becans tide," From where come you flierefloyter. " Burt: "That goes you not on!" Ann is being wrapped up again. She thinks she will fall from her, so she goes lying on the sofa and starts to snick. Burt: "Stop, hold up on your life." That is too much for Ann. She flies right from the sofa and balls her fist. Ann: "I will no longer stand you out! I will take another man." Burt: "Pfu, thet shall not me spite, I have raids another leaf." White falls like a like Ann falls fourover on the tapite.
