Hello friends! Here to tell you that my thoughts, as well as my prayers, are very often with you - the people from over the ocean. What's happening in the USA at the moment , and I am not referring to the elections, is so singular that I entertain little doubt about its entering the human history of accomplishments. It is enormously satisfying to observe the coming to of a people who has been asleep!

I myself am in a similar situation, and I've found out from experience that the best I can do when undergoing a hardship is to concentrate into helping someone else, so even if I can't physically influence what's happening over there, I can at least do so through my words and intentions.

Kudos for your bravery!

Welcome, MichaelT!



I'm wondering, what are you referring to?

Hey there! It would be hard to put in a few words without risking the conspiracy theorist tag :) I'd say that the unique system upon which USA was built and maintained by other brave people has a few weaknesses which I am sure were recognized at the time, among them that "root of all evils" - excessive love of money. No wonder the dollar has that peculiar motto - "In God we trust" - a good reminder, imo.

Anyway, I admit to possible overdramatization, even if I tried to allow for things being overexaggerated because of the upcoming elections. Keyword "over" :))

Michael do you know what your Name means?
What's more, my last name too happens to carry its own meaningful load. Which reminds me of my very first end-of-semester exam at Sofia University - I was the first to be examined, and the professor straight out asked me how long I had had those names :)

Fortunately, I was so focused on simply answering as best as I could that I didn't even stop to consider what the question actually meant. We got to know each other better at conferences and similar in the following years, so any doubts about the authenticity of my poor noms were earnestly dispelled.
 
2 Chronicles 7:14
New International Version

14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Ezekiel 37:5
New International Version

5 This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.

2 Corinthians 3:17
New International Version

17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

Psalm 74:15
New International Version

15 It was you who opened up springs and streams;
you dried up the ever-flowing rivers.

Revelation 22:1-5
New International Version

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.
