The Hero’s Journey is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the Hollywood movies we have deconstructed are based on this template.

Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters.

The Hero’s Journey:

a) Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.

b) Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four acts, plot points, mid point and so on.

c) Interpreted metaphorically, laterally and symbolically, allows an infinite number of varied stories to be created.

Question

What is the mark of the beast, the now world famous 666?

Answer

There is more controversy flying around this loaded question than I care to address, but for the sake of those who have no knowledge at all on this subject I will try to break it down in terms that are understandable. What can be known about it for certain is that it is the mark that represents the antichrist’s economic system. Those who don’t have this mark will not be able to buy or sell anything. Whose name it actually represents, is too soon to say. It does seem to be a representation of the trinity of Satan, Satan, the antichrist, and the false prophet being the three constituents of that trinity.

An interesting development of late has been something called, Recommendation 666. This is one among many recommendations being adopted by the emerging government of the EU. This particular recommendation was introduced by the European Union’s security minister, Mr. Javier Solana. It is a matter of concern for many people for two reasons. The first is that the final vote on the European constitution is only about a year away. The second reason is because recommendation 666 seems to be worded in such a way that it gives emergency war powers to the leader of the EU if he has been sufficiently apprised of a terrorist threat or the country has actually undergone an actual terror attack. I have thoroughly read every word in this document and while I’m not sure that it something to worry about, it certainly is something to keep an eye on.

My strongest sense of conviction is to go with what we know about this dreaded number and keep a watchful eye on what develops hereafter. Using biblical numerology to point to some particular person is highly questionable and has only failed so many times before. A cautious and thoughtful approach is highly advisable, and a large application of watchful patience will win the day on this subject.

Question

If the pre-tribulationists are mistaken, and some of us are called upon to die at the hand of the antichrist, how will we he able to face this terrible and fearful matter.

Answer

Years ago I showed the movie that is now part of Billy Graham Ministries, called The Hiding Place. The movie is about Corrie Ten Boom who was delivered to tell her story to the world after spending time in the notorious Nazi prison camp named Ravensbruck. Besides seeing her parents and her siblings die under the Nazis, over ninety thousand women met their death in that dreaded camp. In one of Corrie’s books she tells a story about a question she asked her father when she was just a little girl. Her question to him was. How will I be able to find the strength or courage to die if I should be asked to die for my faith in Jesus Christ? Her father answered her question with a question of his own. He said, Corrie, when you go to see your aunt in the country every summer on the train, when do I give you the ticket to board the train? She replied, you give me the ticket the day I’m boarding the train. Her father said, that is correct, and Jesus will give you the strength and the courage to die for him if you have to on the day you are asked to die. I have never heard a better answer anywhere over the years. Gods grace for living will shift to Gods grace for dying as it is needed and not until then.

Just a few days ago I wrote a piece entitled: “How to Write an Uncommonly Good Article - Six Key Steps Part 1.” I mentioned my credentials to write such an article then went about giving what I believed were the six key steps that would most improve the works of other authors. That is, make them pleasing for other people to read - which is the purpose in the first place.

So, what was my motive to write such an article? To get people to visit my website? Not really. To “big-note” myself? No. To denote myself as an expert on the subject? No, though I do have extensive experience in it. To help people who are struggling to write articles? Yes. That was the main reason.

I wanted to let people know why, when a person starts to read their article they quickly tire, maybe scan to the bottom then click away before finishing. I find myself doing that. I know lots of others do too. So, I wanted to let aspiring authors know why that can happen. I wanted to give them some tips so they can improve their readership levels.

At the time of writing I was conscious that I was setting myself up as a target. I knew that. When I posted the article I wondered how long it would take before somebody would take a shot at me. You see, I know there are snipers on the rooftops. Make yourself a target and they will surely have a ping.

Well, it took just 72 hours for the first bullet to come my way. Some people just cannot help themselves!

Let me explain a little further:

At the time of writing this article I have well over 100 articles circulating around hundreds of sites on the web. For anybody who has written even one article you will know what a significant effort this is.

Many of the articles I have written have received very positive, complimentary comments and ratings. However, as soon as you stand up and say “this is how you do it” and give an example of your own success, out will come some anonymous person whose prime task is to shoot you down.

Well… Mr, Miss or Ms Sharpshooter why don’t you have the gumption to identify yourself or go “head to head” with me? Put your long-range sniper rifle down for a while and let’s duke it out. One on one. Your best versus my best. There’s the challenge. Are you up to it?

Ooh. I can already hear the sound of running footsteps fading into the distance. Probably they will be running to the next target to fire off another volley at somebody else from a concealed position. What an existence!

I remember some years ago posting a self-help article on a very well known self-help site. I was trying to help a young lady overcome a drug addiction by giving her some encouragement. I figured that if she had the courage to make a public posting then I would help her. Several others did too. Except one - a fellow from New Zealand whose main aim was to lecture me on the concepts of “drug of choice” and “harm minimization” and my form of what he termed “mind bending.”

I suffered this person’s ridicule for weeks. Eventually, frustrated that his comments were largely ignored, he resorted to threats and all sorts of ugly abuse. Never once did he identify himself by anything except some strange pseudonym - another trait of a sniper - that I have long since forgotten. He existed only to ridicule, denigrate and criticize. How sad it is that there are people who do this sort of thing. It’s a bit like spraying graffiti in the dead of night on somebody’s lovely wall.

Whenever anybody publishes anything on the internet they open themselves up to become the target of all sorts of abuse. I guess it comes with the territory. In fact, I wrote another article about this sort of thing. It was called: “Understand That You Are Always Going to Attract Critics.”

In many respects you have to feel some sort of pity for the snipers. To feel the way that they do, to harbor so much anger at their own inadequacy and to try to bring other people down is a truly awful way to eke out an existence.

You can take another shot sniper. Just have the courage to identify yourself. But I guess that would be just too much to ask.

The main causes of bald-headedness are several and often are enriched by misconceptions. But the majority of the main five reasons of hair loss are fully established. Age can be indubitably a key aspect which sets off balding and hair loss as it influences human hormones and weakens the immune approach. Illness and precisely fungal infections or cancer of the head-skin tissues, certainly break hair, although this is not irremediable. Genetics is a reason of hair loss in a little number of persons as tight braiding, and or bad diet. Hair beauty products if not checked or if enormously full of chemicals, might acutely spoil the skin tissues of the skull.
Periodicals are stuffed with tradition about the possible source of bald-headedness and its connection with sex performance, genetically materials, intelligence, stress, diet and hats. Several of these myths have a good portion of technical facts. For the most part are absolutely component of the baldness legends that varies from nations.
Bald-headedness is inherited from your mother’s family. Surveys underline that the genetic material for the androgen receptor, which is considerable in starting hair damage is situated on the X gene and and so is hereditary from the maternal side. In effect is a fifty percent opportunity that a human being shares the similar X gene like their maternal father - which means 50 % of probabilities that these is passed to the masculine kids.Nevertheless, investigation has also revealed that a person with a balding father has also a significant chance of having problems with hairlessness.mental activity or psychosomatic matters may activate hairlessness. This may possibly be linked to the belief that in the old-fashioned civilizations if a human being was hairless it was possible that he had an adequate quantity of fat during his diet. Click here for hair loss products.
Emotive pressure has been confirmed to spark off baldness in people. Nervous tension due to lack of sleep cut testosterone levels, although is not renowned to have generated directly hairlessness. Balding guys are more sexually active than others and that numerous ejaculation causes bald-headedness. Caps can prompt hair loss; While this may perhaps be a legend, sunhats do initiate split ends.

As a deist, Thomas Jefferson may have thought God was indifferent, but gospel twisting preachers and theologians of the day seem to think God is a clown. One preacher appears regularly on television pushing his book entitled…How to be Rich and Have Everything You Ever Wanted. He insists that if people would pay their vows (an Old Testament concept) that this would begin to happen. It goes without saying that payment must be made to him. The blatant emphasis on the business of tithes and offerings among some churches has become a shameful blight but shows no signs of abating.

Before millions of viewers on the Larry King Show, another well known preacher refused to say that everyone needed Jesus for salvation. He then stated that the word “sinner” was a word he never used in his messages. He has since apologized to his many friends and adherents but a chance to witness to millions is now lost. The question remaining is how anyone can find a way to preach the gospel without using the word “sinner.” Jefferson’s answer may be…Just use a jackknife.

This new kind of preaching has many names. It is called, the prosperity gospel, the abundant life gospel, and the celebrity gospel. I call it, the gospel according to the Americans but in moments of my greatest disgust I call it by its more generic name, trash.

Is it wrong to say that God wants to bless us? Does God want all his people to be dirt poor or live a life of abject poverty? Will God only give us pie in the sky when we die and ignore our love and generosity until later? The answer to all three questions is, no, no, and no. God has promised to bless the giver in dozens of passages similar to Luke 6:38. So what is the problem?

The problem is one of balance. Just like the ancient Pharisees who struggled with the picture of a ruling kingly messiah versus a lowly suffering messiah. Their answer to the seemingly incongruous promises of the prophets was to come up with the idea that their must be two messiahs. There is but one messiah and all prophecy is fulfilled in him. Aha! There is also but one way to walk the life of obedience to the gospel as well. It may be that you have to be abased or exalted as the apostle Paul who said he had learned to adapt to either state for the sake of the gospel. Php 4:12 If Paul were a proponent of today’s gospel he would have thought he was out of the perfect will of God every day he was pursued, beaten, jailed or suffering. Thank God he didn’t feel this way because he would have had to style his epistles after the Jeffersonian model and leave out those occurrences.

Is it really a time for believers to dismiss every wind of doctrine and accept every new kid on the block kind of doctrine? Are we compelled to look the other way as these twisted presentations of the gospel gain momentum all for the sake of Christian unity? But is this rather a time for Americans to hang their heads in shame. Trying to present a gospel that does not magnify anything but the wonderful finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ is always a shame.

If we emphasize only those parts of the bible we like and leave the rest we are creating our own Jefferson bible. Perhaps we then might be able to do away with Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and substitute them with a single gospel we could call, The Gospel According to the Americans.

While lots of people continue wear spectacles, there seems little question that they’re on the way out of style. There’s no question that putting contacts in and taking them out can be horrific at first, but once you’re used to the job they are much more convenient than having bulky eyeglasses on your face, not to mention almost invisible, even to people who get up close to your eyes.

Vanity is not the lone reason to put on contacts, however. For the growing majority, it’s merely more pragmatic - they work better for sport or any kind of manual work, for example, where specs could easily get damaged. contact lenses are also not subject to the many things that can go wrong with glasses, such smashing, breaking, or being affected by the weather (when they get rained on, for example).

If you are just entering the world of contacts, though, it can feel like a bit of a maze. What should you get? Hard lenses or soft? Daily lenses or monthly? Each option comes with its advantages and disadvantages.

The easiest question to tackle is probably that of hard lenses. Whilst hard lenses are still utilized in many parts of the world, this is mainly down to reasons of habit - people who are already using them are unlikely to switch. To the new user, hard lenses offer no advantages, and they’re incredibly uncomfortable until you get used to them. it’s much better to simply go with soft lenses.

When it falls to the query of whether daily disposable lenses are best, however, there is some contention. Once you factor in the cost of cleaning solutions for monthly lenses, there is little difference in price, but some people merely prefer not to buy and throw away so many lenses. Ultimately, though, daily disposables incline to be thinner and therefore more comfortable, as well as costing you less if you happen to lose one, which makes them better suited to the beginner.

Accepting all beliefs made U.S. Great ?
Quote; “In a letter posted Nov. 3, the letter writer said that, “The law should be based on the Bible. God cannot lie.”It is a fact that men, not God, wrote the Bible. Humans make mistakes and these men were no exception. The letter writer claims that “there are no errors in the Bible,” or it would not be here today.
If errors are the premise for the destruction of a book, there would be no books in existence. She states that “people of that time had a much better understanding of humanity, nature, and truth.”

We find it difficult to associate raping, plundering, stoning, public executions, slavery, human and animal sacrifice with “the better understanding of humanity, nature and truth.”

The Bible, as a literary work, is one of the most violent books ever written. If she believes that this country was founded because people wanted religious freedom, shouldn’t that freedom be extended to every view?

Our country prospered not because it was founded on “God’s words” but because of separation of church and state. This country’s prosperity is related to its ability to attract the best of the world. Our ancestors made this country what it is today. Certain “Christian” groups expect us to take their beliefs as gospel, yet they are unwilling to entertain others’ beliefs.” Unquote.

Mankind has placed itself at odds with the Creator. Mans ability to serve God is based on mans ability to believe God. And when man refuses to believe, there occurs a rift between himself and God. Mans idea of right and wrong become clouded by his ambition to gain worldly riches and to be the center of attention. In the preceding letter, I have found that the view of the people that had written it are also the view of not only those in the United States but around the world. They being clouded, in the mind and spirit, by the arch enemy of man, The Spirit of Anti-Christ.
Who ever said that being a Christian was easy, who ever said the Gods government was one of compromise? Where did you ever see where The government of the Kingdom was a democracy?

Lets look a little closer at the letter.

1. Quote; The law should be based on the Bible. Unquote.

In Fact, the Law of many countries is based on the Bible. The greatest example of this is on the Supream Court Doors. The Ten Commandments. In 2nd Peter 2:10, We see the reason for most of mankind’s failure to be at peace with each other. ” But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.”
Now we see in, Isaiah 9:7, The result of The government of Jesus and His reign. ” Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.”

2. Quote;”It is a fact that men, not God, wrote the Bible. Humans make mistakes and these men were no exception.” Unquote .

To be more precise, the absence of mistakes in the Bible proves, that man had no part in the contents or construction of the Scripture. According to scripture, man was inspired by the Spirit of God. They in essence were being secretary’s of the dictation of the Word. 2Ti 3:16 - 17. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”

The key words we look for in 2Ti 3:16 - 17 are these; “That the man of God,” here we see that the words of God, i.e. The Bible, are power to those that have received the word of truth willingly. There-by, we who believe in Gods word, are made acceptable in the Beloved. Being endowed with a spirit that the world cannot understand.

What we, as believers, see cannot be seen of those that refuse to believe, in a Being, of Unlimited power and Vision.

3. Quote;”The Bible, as a literary work, is one of the most violent books ever written.” Unquote .

Violence comes from the hearts of man. Man does not regard God, nor his precepts, nor his threatenings and judgments.

The Bible being violent isn’t the work of God but of mans disobedience to God and His Laws. Man, as was with the past in scripture, had made his own choices. The more that man walked away from God and His stipulations, the more violent man became. No one ever say anything about the books and movies of WWI, WWII, Viet Nam, or any other book that deals with mans violence to man. I wonder why?

4. Quote;”Our country prospered not because it was founded on “God’s words” but because of separation of church and state.” Unquote.

Being misled is mans ultimate downfall. There is no separation of Church and State, for without The Father, there would be no state. The clouds of unbelief are gathering stronger and darker. Man has turned away from God and has turned to fables and science. How do you believe, that mankind evolved from anything, how can you believe that man just appeared, how can you believe that man can survive on this earth for eternity?

The Idea of Separation of Church and State came from idolaters and those that wanted a way out, so they could, use mans law for his own purpose. With a Nation based on Gods Laws, it was restricting to them and oppressive. Instead of wanting a Land protected by the Hand of God, they wanted to turn to their own imagination, which was and still is on evil continually. What have we gained by turning away from God? Homosexuality, Prostitution, Murder,Terrorism, Pornography, Drug addiction, open borders and all manner of False Religions. Bibles were taken out of Schools and in return we received an increase of Gangs, instead of students.

Deception and corruption in government and all the way thru, what used to be a society serving God.

Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. You say that this is violence? Why cant God destroy something that He created and owns? Mans violence against the week, is an oppressive man, He is no different than the animals of the wild, seeking the week as prey. Man has become the oppressor of man not God. When God says Love thy neighbor, He didn’t tell us to accept, nor Love, the sinful abominations that they co-mitt. On the contrary, He tells us to warn them, and if they refuse to listen to turn our backs on them, for He will judge.

Psalms 72:4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break (destroy.) in pieces the oppressor.
All the nations that forget God - They will not live in his fear. There are both nations and individuals who, though they know God, forget him, that is, are unmindful of him, do not acknowledge him in their designs, ways and works. These are all to be thrust down into hell. Reader, art thou forgetful of thy Maker, and of Him who died for thee?

5. Quote;”If she believes that this country was founded because people wanted religious freedom, shouldn’t that freedom be extended to every view? “Unquote.

Here is the view of God and His accepting all views as being right; 1Co_6:9, 1Co_6:10; Gal_5:19-21; Heb_13:4; Rev_21:8, Rev_22:15.

Pro 8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogance, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. What is evil, all those things that Our Father calls sin and a abomination is evil. My Father hates it and therefore we hate it.

Psalms 9:20 Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men.

Psalms 9:15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

6. Quote;”Our ancestors made this country what it is today. Certain “Christian” groups expect us to take their beliefs as gospel, yet they are unwilling to entertain others’ beliefs.”Unquote.

Luke 6:22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake. How can God accept lifestyles, opinions, and views that are contrary to His word.?

2nd Co 6:14-18; Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Barnes states; Come out from among them - That is, from among idolaters and unbelievers; from a frivolous and vicious world. The underlying principle is that in a moral universe it is impossible for God to fully bless and use His children who are in compromise or complicity with evil.
The unequal yoke is anything which unites a child of God and an unbeliever in a common purpose. We cannot call Good evil nor evil Good, for it is in contradiction to what we know is true.
(Deu_22:10).

The HTML editor is usually a webpage design software that has a GUI(graphic user interface) which makes it easier to design a webpage using the File Menus. This is good for the non-programmers and non-technical people.

There are lots of software for web page design, like MS Frontpage, Dreamweaver which are widely used. however, there are lots of web page design software you can buy.

I prefer Ms Frontpage because I learned it and got it for free when I took my web design certificate at Education direct school.

There is another way to edit and build web pages beside using a software. If you are a programmer, and know how to code HTML, you can use any text editor like notepad to edit or build a webpage.

Just open a notepad window, and type the html code, and save it as .html file instead of .txt extension. This is it, you created a webpage.

Please note as the webpage becomes more complicated and has many
files of different types, building a webpage from raw html code will be a daunting task. Even if you are a programming, and know how to write with HTML code, it well take lots of effort, time, and aggravation to build a webpage of little complexity.

So, in your case, it is a wise decision to buy a software with graphic interface in order to learn faster and be more productive.

Even with a software, it will take a while and lots of practice to be comfortable with building web pages.

As a beginner, there is an excellent solution to building your own web pages ,without knowing any HTML codes, and without even buying any software I was mentioning before.

Here is the solution:

Some web hosting service providers offer with your web hosting account, what is called as web page templates.

Usually the cost is very reasonable, and many times you can pick a hosting package that includes web page templates.

That only costs couple dollars per month unless your web hosting provider is charges more than most web hosts providers.

A webpage / website template is a wizard like application where you fill in text, images, files in few steps and when you click finish, you web page will be ready.
