Yep, I have been there 25 times, spent over 3.5 years there HAHAH and from discussions and observation figured out that what they call white ants are termites 
do you believe God creates all humans or God only created adam and eve and rest is just copied? because i find some verses say formed in the womb like david.but then i also think some people are born without arms and legs can we put that on God all the birth defects? i dont watn to put it on God. i hate calvinism.

The human race stands in Adam and EVE and then after the flood Noah's three sons and their wives hence the (6 degrees of separation and being able to genetically trace us to 6 people) The bible does talk about God assembling us in the womb and even knowing us in a forensic sense, personal sense before we were even born, however it also states that time and chance happen unto all......Birth defects are the result of bad genes and or genetic defects which in my view are the results of SIN'S ongoing influence of the human race.........I.E> the further down the road we get the greater impact of sin on our health, genes, etc......It can also be tied to what we ingest....GMO's, all the chemicals we put on our bodies and in our bodies etc.......

You have TOTALLY MISUNDERSTOOD ME,
SALVATION HAPPENS THE MOMENT YOU RECEIVE HIM AS LORD,
AND that is when you are Born Again.
THEN because YOU have Had your Human Spirit changed into ETERNAL LIFE,
You will LOVE HIM, and You will out of that LOVE, strive to OBEY HIM, because your Spiritual Will has been CHANGED.
No AND's, IF's, or MAYBE's.
John 14:15 (HCSB)
15 “If you love Me, you will keep My commands.
That will keep verbiage does not imply PERFECTION, but rather a CONTINUOUS ATTITUDE of Striving to KEEP. It is Aorist Tense, and here is the definition:
(Quote) The aorist tense is characterized by its emphasis on punctiliar action; that is, the concept of the verb is considered without regard for past, present, or future time.
It describes indefinite or undefined action. The word aoristos derives from an alpha privative (ie. negation) and the verb horizô (meaning "to bound") thus meaning "without boundaries". (End Quote)
If you do not Have this CHANGE in your Human Spirit, YOU COULD BE JUST FAKING BEING BORN AGAIN, OR YOU ARE SELF DECEIVED AND HAVE SETTLED FOR SOMETHING LESS THAN GENUINE SALVATION.
i know i couldnt sleep thinking there is some small spider in my pillow case or maybe descending on my face from the ceiling. or maybe i go to toilet at night and step on one.
thank the Lord im safe in north.
thank the Lord im safe in north.
So what makes you think the north country is Safe. I have not see a place on earth that is free from Spiders. Except very close to the two Poles. It is Called Arachnophobia, and I have had it too. Where I live, we have Black Widows, and Brown Recluses, both are highly poisonous, and a host of other spiders. Brown Recluse bites happen mostly in a bed, when one gets under the covers. So what did I do to get over Arachnophobia? LONG AGO, when I was a Teenager, to vowed to kill every spider I see. When I was a Teenager and my buddies and I went on a Pheasant Hunt, one of us would always have to get down in the plum thickets to scare the birds out for the rest to shoot. When my turn came up, and I want down in the plum thickets, you would run into spider webs. SOOO . . . . . I would waste a shotgun shell on that spider. If you fear a spider coming down on your face while sleeping. It is amazing how sleeping in a Bunk Bed on the bottom, solved that problem.
Like a black widow here
Brown Recluses scare me more than Black Widows. You cannot hardly detect there bite. I had one crawl across my forearm, early afternoon about 2:00, as I say on the lawn pulling weeds. By 6:00 P.M. I notice my arm was hurting, and found the two tell tail rotting Holes where he bit me. They are small about 1/2 inch across, some are bigger.
They have a distinctive FIDDLE on their Back. Here are photos how bad the wounds can GET:
When I found the BITE, I immediately grabbed a sharp knife, and cut between the two holes, and then aggressively squeezed out the blood for SEVERAL minutes. I must have gotten almost all of the poison out, because it never did get a lot worse. It took about 2 weeks to heel. When I found it, it looked like the following Picture, but Honest, I never did feel the BITE.
I did not have any after effects, other than a craving for bugs or crickets occasionally:
No, it is a true story. If I do not laugh about, I will have nightmares, about living in Brown Recluse territory.
One day I was going to the bathroom in the BASEMENT, and found one on the floor in the doorway to my Bathroom that was unusually large about 1 inch from side to side. He make a pretty large SPLAT on the Flour. So I spray the Foundation at least twice a year.
