Discovering that Man and the snake are precise opposites of one another - in a study taking over 9 years - in both, anatomical terms and in behavioural terms,
This Discovery not only shows that "random mutation" [a claim of evolutionists] certainly wasn't 'random', if at all, but far more importantly again, it overwhelmingly supports the Biblical account of Adam and Eve and the exchange between Adam and Eve and the snake, wherein the serpent actually introduced "OPPOSITION" into the world!!
Ever since then, God cursed the serpent in a manner so as to make it directly opposite Man in every aspect!!
To me, this is the greatest Discovery in the history of Mankind, because it overwhelmingly supports the Biblical claim of one of the 2 most all-encompassing events ever to occur to man and the earth - "the Fall of Adam and Eve".
The other Great event of history was the death and resurrection of the Saviour!
I haven't proven that one yet!
Whoever does prove that will have achieved the greatest possible Discovery that any person can scientifically achieve!!!!!!!!

My influence reaches far and wide. Both positively and negatively. I generally smile at strangers in parking lots, at strangers in stores, and talk to cashiers and other service industry professionals about their day, there by, hopefully, helping to make them more cheerful, and then they can pass that to someone else. But to be honest, if I am not in a good mood, I am not smiling, and when I am not smiling, I look rather angry, which I am sure has the same effect.
I prefer to be happy, I work hard to turn any negative thoughts I have into a positive, because I know ever situation I am in is just a stepping stone to the place I want to be.

I think of Pangel yesterday with her post about hugging people, especially when everyone was so nasty to each other. Her post made me feel a lot better. So, you are right about how a simple hug (even online) can make a difference.
As far as my ultimate goal, I'd like to make a difference by helping others overcome their barriers to successful employment.
Sometimes we just need to be that encouraging word, or find out what a person needs. Sometimes it's a simple help, other times it's major.
But, here's a ((((HUG)))) for all of you who have had a bad day so far. Please feel free to pass one on to another person. The nice thing is that bad days can and will get better. You just have to hang in there until you can find the solution.

My contribution will be meeting the needs of as many people as I can.
If God loves everyone the same I believe it is up to man to make sure that all people are treated fairly and the same as much as humanly possible.
If I can't help meet a person's needs that I believe I should help, I want to go to someone that can and ask for help for that person.
Acts 2:45 is a scripture that I live by. I believe in sharing.

A key note in Westlaw: "It is not a crime to be a hippie." It was given the number one, but I don't remember in what category.
Back in 1967 or 1968, I don't remember which, some friends and I were harassed by the police for hanging out in Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia. The ACLU supported a civil rights lawsuit against the mayor, the chief of police (who later became mayor) and the chief of the park guards. We won! My little bit of history.
How far reaching? I have no idea. A wee bit of tolerance and civil rights.

If a person understands that "a sneeze in China causes a cold in Chicago" then every action has a profound, yet often remote, effect.
I apply this principle to my life in such actions as being sure the pebble I removed from my shoe does not cause someone to stumble over it.
It does not require a huge imagination to perceive that care must be taken in all that is done to avoid or encourage profound results.

I have two little boys that I am trying harder than anything to have them grow and be wonderful, sweet God loving human beings. It is my job as a mother..and hopefully they will in return reach out and touch someone else's lives the same way.
I believe what goes around comes around, not in a karma type of way but, more if someone sends one person off to be happy then that person will also.
Answering questions as honest as I can on here, is another reason I like being here. Not to prove myself right but to learn from others, to teach people what I know already, to challenge myself and others. It creates a good circle and comes back to me 100 times greater, than what I first sent.

My contribution will be to act as a warning to others.
Millions of people will react with a growing sense of dread, a gasp of shocked horror, and a stunned sense of disbelief before giggling their butts off and forwarding the video to everyone on their e-mail list.
Many of those millions will greatly benefit from the demonstration that you should never, ever, ever mix vodka, badgers, gas-powered chainsaws, and unicycles in quite that combination.
It will reach far and wide through the magic of the interwebs.

I will raise my son to be a good man. I will love my woman. I will make some art. That will be enough.
My son will carry on as I or better. The one person a care for most will be made happier for my having been in the world. The art may lift a few hearts. That is enough for me. That is my world and how I'll change it.

Let me pond-er this one...
As FROG, with no promise of immortality, I must take small steps each day to ensure that the pond is a good place.
We must do, by deeds and words, righteousness and loving on behalf of all other amphibians; green, red, tree dwelling, poisonous.
The pond is a small and fragile ecosystem. If we cannot rely on species from outside our realm to do the right thing, then we can only effect change from inside our domain and hope that it spreads outwardly.
RRIBBITT!
