Even when the reason for some thing can be described through science still people think it has happened according to the gods wish
Why is that?

I am writing a fantasy story that deals with problems in our society. I am thinking about publishing the book. First of all, I have no idea how to do that, so I want to know what I need to do, if I need to pay and how much (not exactly, but an estimate). Also my story is written in a very simple way. I've figured the simpler it is, more people will read it since they won't find it difficult to read, but I am willing to make any changes. Any tips you want to throw in will be welcome too. Thanks to those who help and happy new year to all!

When The Rock Came To Jerusalem


Tell me you were there. Tell me you were sitting on that rock....
Tell me, Messiah.
Quote me the words John and James spoke to you...
Tell me, Messiah.

Tell me the words you spoke to them............what of
Mark...what of Luke....?
Tell me, Messiah.

What was the Rock, Messiah? St.Peter, did you build it?
What did you build it of...can you, should you
Tell nothing but me.....

For, I am nothing, except for Mark and Luke...should I
Deny them too? Did you?
I do not know....

And, in not knowing have my answer....

The Mystery of the Ages.

This may be the worst question to be ever asked, and i'm sorry.
But for example when i see a tab, it does not to play all strings,

like this for example:

--2--
--3--
--4--
--5--
--6--
------


Does it mean i can play the last e string as an open note?

*****
Icicle windowpanes, shivering winter air
Kiddies inside, huddled close by the fire
Read from your magic book, Dear Aunt Elysabeth
Tell us a story from long, long ago

Blow the Viking ships over to Engle’ land
Charge up the mountain with sword and a shield
Battle the Romans with old Vercingetorix
Recite the poems form Venerable Bede

Sing us the songs that Grandfather left for you
Lyrics with pride of family bonds
Strum away gently Dear, upon you dulcimer
Saying the verses that you know so well…

*****

What is it called when two people are co-writing a novel, but one is doing the writing and the other person is just figuring out the plot and such?

Dancing around,
What was not man made,

Shedding tears of hope,
For what I want to keep,


Souls dance on treetops,
Vibrating the air as I get closer.

Squeals of sacred harmony,
Lighten my heart and open my eyes a bit further.

Watching what can never be stolen from me,
As I sit on a branch,
Fizzing color whispering,
Into my ear.

There are prophecies and oracles from around the world that all seem to point to December 21, 2012 as doomsday. The ancient Mayan Calendar, the medieval predictions of Merlin, the Book of Revelation and the Chinese oracle of the I Ching all point to this specific date as the end of civilization. A new technology called "The Web-Bot Project" makes massive scans of the internet as a means of forecasting the future... and has turned up the same dreaded date: 2012. Skeptics point to a long history of "Failed Doomsdays", but many oracles of doom throughout history have a disturbingly accurate track record. As the year 2012 ticks ever closer we'll speculate if there are any reasons to believe these doomsayers.

Watch and decide for yourself if it is true.

Also 2012 I finish school 21 of december The school year ends where im from. I went to a wrestling event some guy had a wrestle mania 28 t shirt which happens in 2012 This is freaking me out and that day is the day my friend turns 18.

Based on what I've read it appears as though the Crusades were a rational response to islamic conquest and empire building and very possibly staved off a muslim advance on Europe

In his bed, ole scrappy bed. Book had
De names of his Father, his Mother,

His children...his childrens' names
Underlined...and,
One little heart
By each name.

Not a question, but I have been getting error 999 (anyone else is experiencing this?) and I was not able to insert this link, which I just uploaded, to show Karen.

Earlier I was trying to tell her that the subject in her folio was standing in the sunlight, and she either should use a fill-in flash, or better yet, take the photos on a cloudy day like this one.

I have this poetry project and it says, "You must have at least 2 illustrations within your handbook (original composition)."

does that also imply that i can draw 2 and just print out pictures of the rest?

I graduated High School in 1983 . My Dad graduated in 1954 . I have read one of his History books from school and I still have one of mine floating around. It was about 8 years old when i read it so it was from the mid seventies at least . I hear people on here always saying' check your history books but i have a feeling in this overly politically correct time that the books of today are very different than mine and my fathers .
Can anyone with high school aged kids attest to this?
My Dads book was way more conservative and factual than mine was . I can't imagine how many shades of the rainbow they have in the new ones to gloss over and manipulate the facts on certain events .
