Nah, the Romans failed because of poor management. They lost a series of strategic hot spots in the east (Turkey/Greece or some such I think) and were instead focusing on what might or might not happen with Attila the Hun. There's a terrific documentary with Terry Jones (of Monty Python fame) where the fall of the Roman empire is covered in great detail. Looking at it today, it seems astounding that the empire was even able to last as long as it did.

Orcas .. or killer whales .. are fairly vicious creatures. They have a habit of mauling seals for fun (nibbling on them, throw them in the air, dismember, throw, and so on). Sometimes they eat them afterwards, other times they just go on their merry way only to return when the seals again think it's safe to return to the waters .. A pair of orcas are at the ready, and this time they're hungry. That won't stop them from "playing" with their food, though. There are a few videos out there in internet land. They're not for the faint of heart. In one video an orca deliberately slides all the way up on the beach to snatch a seal, wiggle it's way back to the water and throw the seal to it's buddy. Nasty stuff. While I don't believe the dinosaurs were killed overnight, I'm certain the impact in Mexico was big enough to start a chain reaction that, though long in its execution, gradually made the planet uninhabitable for those of the dinosaurs that weren't able to adapt quickly enough to their relatively fast changing environment. It would seem the largest of them were the losers, as God, in my mind, had intended. The smaller ones (reptiles, various insects, fish, etc.) managed to find ways to make do, thus surviving.

I would always suggest you quote the entire verse. Each verse is very short as it is, so not only won't it take up much space it will also make more sense when you read the verse in its entirety.

I have no moves. I have no rhythm.

Thank you for your help. I eventually found getintouch.dk as well. The ccc one looks interesting as well. Thanks again!

Hi all, I have a somewhat (to some) odd request. I'm from Denmark (hence I speak Danish) and I live in Sweden (I also speak Swedish), but I'm trying to find an international church. Why? Well, I have tried receiving the Good News in Danish and via the media in Swedish, but for some reason it doesn't have the same impact on me as English does. I read my bible in English as well. Do any of you know about a church where English is the language of choice located in the greater Copenhagen or Malmoe (Malm?) area? I know there are some sites with a church index out there in Internet Land, but I haven't had much luck finding anything. (I have posted this on CCF as well) Thanks for your help.

The numbers refer to chapter and verse. John 3:16 means the book of John, Chapter 3, Verse 16. All bibles have these numbers in them. They are there to make it easier to find things Here's an example: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?searc...amp;version=31; Here's the entire chapter: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?searc...amp;version=31; I hope that helps.

As I can't be and never will be perfect, it would be futile for me to sum up my life in percentages. I try to live life as God wants me to, but I am enough of a realist to know that I will always fall short. I just pray that God will accept me for who I am and love me just as much for the effort I'm making.

That's excellent. I know the Chinese have been worshipping in the underground for the most part as the communist regime has been working against Christianity with jail sentences. An old friend of mine (Joanne) went to China as a missionary. I believe she spent most of her time out and about in the country rather than the big cities.
