Ah, An old ploy ... If you can't deny the message then insult the messenger. It just reaffirms that some have eyes but see not and have ears but do not hear. Thanks for your post.

Saturnalia/Brumalia Season

Well, its nearly that time of year when people will partake, most in ignorance, of the revelry of the ancient celebrations of the Saturnalia and Brumalia in what is today called Christmas. The ancient celebration of the return of the sun complete with the ancient pagan trappings and painted Christian veneer can be read about online at the following pages of notes & quotes that we call -

Ken...there's no ploy here. In all honestly...do you use the word "hearken" in conversation? Do you know anyone (whose not a nutty little fruitcake) that does?

Thanks for replying to my post.

Sorry....I just realized that you, Ken, WROTE that story (I just saw your name in the link). So the answer is "YES". You DO use the word "hearken". No wonder it bothered you that I said something.

Harry.

PS: I still think you're a little kooky.

..in fact "KHoeck" sort of spells out KOOK. Are you Dutch, Ken. The "oe" in Hoeck (at least in Dutch) sounds like OO of Kook....and with the "K" from "Ken" in front it's just a perfect "KOOK".

You friend,
Harry Swingbottom

Actually, yes I use the word hearken, as well as 'repent', 'behold', and many other words in our English dictionary.

I like old fashioned words and old fashioned values of morality.

BTW The name Hoeck is germanic. It means "hook" ... And I am a fisher of men.

And yes, I am a fool for Christ so for you to call me a "kook" is a blessing for me.

1 Corinthians 4:10 We are fools for Christ's sake ....[pp]

We are fools?? For Christ sake. Now hold on just a second ...I didn't call anybody a fool! That's just plain mean. I'm not a mean guy, however, I find it strange that you identify yourself as a "fool for Christ". I think maybe it's people like you that scare me away from going to Church. I mean, I'm a spiritual man and I believe in God and all of that, but religious fanatics scare me. They shoot doctors, hold rattlesnakes and fly airplanes into building....things like that. As a "people" attitudes like that just get us nowhere with the Big Man.....you know? You're not a snake handler are you? If you are...I meany no disrespect above....it was just one of the first fantic-like activities that I could think of.

Well anyway Ken, good on ya for using those other words...you're right..they ARE in the same league as "hearken". I bet you really freak people out in normal conversation.

Take are and have a cold one on me,
Harry S
