To all the brothers and sisters that are reading this article at this very moment....I extend the hand of fellowship to you all.  Because if you are  reading this...that means the world has averted disaster and calamity and we  have jetted ourselves into a new millennium.

For all the doomsayers and doomsday theories--like the song states, "The sun will come out tomorrow.  You can bet your dollar on tomorrow...."--or something like that.  I never once believed any of the hogwash that was pumped out of the propaganda machine concerning this whole hoax of Y2K. I  never once bit the hook.  Now, I'm not saying that I am better than anyone or I can't be fooled.....I'm just your brother and also human....I just didn't believe that the CREATOR in HIS omnipotence would allow this world HE created to be destroyed because of "two digits"--two separate bytes of  information.

Now, if it was said that HE would destroy this world because it has become a cesspool of immorality and spiritual wickedness...NOW, I would have to be concerned about that(smile). TRULY concerned.

Man has not the ability to create on his own...it is only through the CREATOR that new ideas come into being.  We are just instruments of HIS choice.  The CREATOR chooses whom HE pleases to be the conduit of HIS thoughts.  And I don't think it was his HIS choice to blow this world to
kingdom come because some knuckle-headed scientists tried to save storage space on a "toy" called a computer.

So, while people are running to return all the items they bought to no avail... or climbing out of their man-made bunkers they built in their backyards....or tearing down artificial barricades from all around their dwellings...or putting away all their assault weapons(smile)...I submit that the words of the scriptures still ring true,"No man knows the time nor the hour when the son of man comes...." or "when I come I come quickly---like a thief in the night..",to paraphrase.

So, may the CREATOR bless each and every one of you in this new year. May you prosper and stay strong throughout the months ahead.

P.S. Remember all power is in the hands of The CREATOR --not man nor machines.
