I am semi retired, attending school fulltime and minister in music. I am self employed in music services and ministry. I am finally taking Music Theory at UAH in Huntsville, Al. It helps me to understand what I am doing right and wrong with my music even though I am published and have been a member of ASCAP for many years.

The End Times: In the last seven years many events happened that indicate a change in political, economical and social strata world wide. In addition, there have been climatic or geological events of biblical proportion, i.e. the tsunami, major earthquakes, mega hurricanes or cyclones. What is your view of these events? Do you feel that this indicates the endtimes as talked about in the bible? What do you make of the scientific analysis of the Aztec and Myan calendars that indicate the end of times as Dec 21 2012, and the recent discovery of a Nostrodamus book at the Vatican Library indicating the same date?

Living as an American: I have been all over the world; this was a result of being in the military for eleven years. In some countries, they love Americans; in others they hates us. It is unfortunate that more people are hating Americans today than before. Why do you think this is? If you believe it is the war, justify what you say. Thanks! For the record, I believe more people are hating Americans, because they are told to do so by the higher social order or controling class.
