If you live in Los Angeles, you should find out about the AMPAS theater series. For a small admission fee, you get the best movies in history played in one of the very best theaters (sometimes with live music or with a hand mixed soundtrack) and sometimes with live actors from the film discussing it afterwards. This is always accompanied with historical notes from the academy's fantastic historian, Randy Haber Camp. In order to watch a film at the AMPAS, you need to follow three simple rules.
1.) No talking (not even whispering)
2.) No eating or drinking (not even water)
3.) No cell phones (you will be kicked out if your phone rings)

About me: I was born in 1954, in Whittier, California. I moved to Huntington Beach with my parents in the summer of 1964. HB is a surfing town, and was always full of kids, and fun, and rock and roll. My wife, Margaret, and I today live back in Huntington Beach, and I truly consider it my home town.
I am a computer virus expert, and have been for nearly twenty years. I am the Global Director of Education at Trend Micro, Inc. In my blog you will find many articles and interviews with me from many sources around the world. The videos you find here might also contain computer security information, but they are also music and other things I hold dear.
This is the best world we have to live in, and it is a beauty. The oceans, sands, trees and mountains are all supplied in exactly the right amounts. Love is not only possible, it is as common as the flowers of the field.
Focus on the good in life, and try to do good where and when you can. Persevere,
The Cuckoo Birds lay their eggs in nests built by others, and let the other birds raise their young.
I was found abandoned at 9 months of age in Chicago, an unwanted baby. But I know many others have also experienced rejection....weather it be in a spouse walking out, a friend who walked away, not fitting into a group, not accepted for who you are. Whatever the reason, rejection hurts...it leaves an open space in ones heart and very soul. The shadows left, whisper out for a need of love.
God, the very creator of the world and man... experienced rejection and sadly, still does today. (John 1:10,11) Isa. 53:3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering.
After Saint Vincents Orphanage, I was placed with a family and adopted at the age of six. I'm not the only one adopted...whisper...I was just blessed to be adopted twice. ***Eph. 5:1 He predestined us to be adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will. John 14:18...I will not leave you as orphans: I will come to you. John 1:12,13
He will NEVER leave you nor forsake you. (Heb 13:5) In Him we were chosen, having been predestined... (Eph 1:11) Nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God...(Rom 8:38,39) The Lord will never forget us, we are engraved in the palm of His hands. (Isa 49:15,16)
Say it, claim it, and believe it...I am complete in Christ! I am wanted and loved by the very Creater Himself. Say it again: I am complete in Christ! I am wanted and loved by the very Creater Himself. Say it until you hear it, say it again until you believe it!
Whisper...the Lord is the only One that can fill that open space left from another. YSIC, Brown Eagle
I love the saying: "We need to put our problems into prospective: "Problem...here is my God!"
Everyone either faces or is fighting some form of battle. Battles of fear, pain, lonliness, anger, temptation, hardships, difficulties, rejection...
2 Ch. 20:15 b...This is what the Lord says to you; Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's.
We may not face an enemy Army, but everyday we face personal battles. When we pray and ask God to help us with these battles (struggles)...God "will" fight them for us. We need to realize our human limits...and that the battles are not ours, but Gods. "Let go...let God." We need to allow the Lords strength and power (Eph. 6:10) to work through our fears, weaknesses, and discouragements. During the most troubling times... claim the peace of Christ! (John 16:33b "so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. " Php 4:4-**7**)
With the Lords strength, power, peace... we may face battles...but the Lord fights them for us. Whisper...we are more than conquerors...

To be all those things and Endora, too. I assumed this temporary glamor to send a message to my darling daughter about her new boyfriend, Derwin. Or is it Darwood?
