decimation of this EVil-sOLUTION fairy tale

--- Hello, my name is Joe Lynch. I’m a middle aged Canadian man. I happen to be paralyzed, but I don’t let that, or anything else detract from the joy of being blessed with this gracious life, which the Lord has given to me. I happen to still be an energetic, easy going, very adventurous, fun loving guy. Oh ya,,, one more very important thing about me,,, I happen to be born-again. I would also like to think, that I'm somewhat intelligent, and not too hard to look at either,,, lol. Ever since my youth, I have always been a go-getter, making things happen. In high school I had parties almost every weekend. I guess that I never let school become so difficult, that I could not find time to have fun. As in, I always finished just enough homework to get me by,,, lol. That along with a wonderful mother named Hazel, who taught me the true meaning of life, was not what you have or know, but the attitude you had, and portrayed, through good times and bad.

--- I’ve always tried to find a way to see the good in all things, and people. I try to learn from my mistakes, and use any setbacks to my advantage. I believe in making the best out of things, including your setbacks, (Romans 8:28). For instance, I had to stay back a year from university/college, so I used the time to do something for my mom,,, and myself. I built a 16’ X 32 X 2 story place to work, play, and live, on the side of my mom’s house. I could do this in the extra time that I had off from school, because I was in good with the teachers, and I managed to work it out so I only had to go to the one class a day,,, lol.

--- I have tried my hand at college,,, three times: first two years of Electrical Engineering at UNB in Fredericton, then one year of Computer Graphics Specialist at COGS in Laurencetown. Now I’m on my second year of Information Technology at N.S.C.C. here in Truro, to learn how computers do what they do. I even have the government pay the tuition + books for me to go, by the EAPD dissability funtion of the government. I've even gained two grants to buy myself the computers, desktop and laptop, that I'm working/playing on. Now that’s what I call using my disabilities to my advantage,,, lol

--- I figure that I should have realized long ago, that there was a real God, One that was looking out for me. It was either that, or I was part cat, and had 9 lives,,, lol. One of my many accidents that I had was with one of my motorbikes. Some lady pulled out of her driveway, right in front of me, I could not believe that she did not see me, or even look my way. I had no time nor distance to slow down, or even swerve, so I t-boned her car, between the front + back door. I hit the roof at waist level, at about 70km/h, flew up and over the car, and skid about 200 to 300 feet down the road.

--- I can’t even come close to explaining the feeling, of having both of your hips being ripped out of their sockets. The hip pain was intense, sometimes excruciating, and ever present from that day on, even on the maximum dose of painkiller, (codeine) which they would allow me to have. I do not have a tendency to complain, nor did I have the ability to vocalize how intense and constant the pain was, so my doc did not take my pain serious. It was permanent, and my life would never be the same again. So I did what everybody told me to do, and sued the driver, for all that did for me. Of the $110,000 that they settled for, I did not see very much of it myself. Oh well, at least it bought me a nice sports car to go to the states, on my honeymoon, lol.

--- I'm so thankful for my knowing God before I had these last two automobile accidents, one in the late 80’s, which damaged my will to live, and the other in the summer of 1996, which left me paralyzed. If it were not for Him, I would have surely not have survived, the twice when my heart stopped, and the time they thought that I was probably brain dead. Thankfully my bro said NO, when they asked if my family wanted them to discontinue the machines. The machines which were keeping me alive!!! I should say, that I would probably not have wanted to survive either accident, if I did not know God, and believe that this time on earth was a mere needle prick,,, when we consider eternity. First was the one that caused me so much pain, and then the second one that took away the pain, unfortunately only for a while,,, and also the use of my legs, which I still hope that He will heal me, before the Rapture. Both accidents took more than I had in me, to be able to accept the problems that came alone with them. He comforted me, and gave me the extra strength that I needed, to get me back into life.

--- I must state, that I truly believe in God,,, with all my being,,, the God of the bible, the only true God. I believe that He created us, and truly loves us, even the ones that choose to ignore Him. I also believe that He wrote every Word in the Holy Bible, through human hands. I love logic, which tells me if He existed, He would somehow make it clear to us, out of all the religions, which one was Him. I believe that He would make it clear, and the Bible was surely the front contender, with all of the Truth that it had in it. I think that the Bible has proved itself very worthy of being used for advising on right and wrong behaviour,,, (10 Commandments). But more convincing, are so many fulfilled prophecy,,, and then there is the Bible Code,,, it is real, and truly works,,, just take an honest look at either of them,,,,,,,,,,,

--- I was born in February of 1964, and then born again in the mid to late 80’s. My first love is Jesus, and I study His Word often, but there is definitely room for a close second,,, lol. The accident did not seem to slow me down much; I'm still quite active, as I like the outdoors, and I usually only sleep about 3 hours a night. The way I figure it, there is not enough hours in the day, to be wasting it sleeping,,, lol. I'm into most movies, and music, but I have all but given up on the mind numbing effects of TV. I like to talk, about lots of things, things that I know something about, and things that I don't know anything about. I always like to learn new things; after all, I think that is one of the reasons that we are here on earth, to learn things, including right from wrong,,, lol.

--- Some of my greatest enjoyments in life, are math, logic, science, and truth,,, things that you can work out, through logic and mathematical calculations, through laws of math, nature, and physics, to prove it for your own self. God says that He has written His moral laws on our heart, and I believe this, internally we know when we do wring. I thought that if there was a real God, then there had to be a way to prove it. I found a book that changed my life,,, “Armageddon”, by Grant Jeffrey. This book held the proof that I needed, numerous fulfilled prophecies. All these prophecies are well documented. The greatest prophecy was the one that stated the time that the Christ would come to this earth, the Jewish people, and to the rest of humanity. Jesus came into jerusalem, for His very day. It went further though, even to our modern day, predicting that the nation of Israel would come back into existence. It even predicted the very day, May 15, 1948,,, I had no more need to search, the Bible proved itself the True Word of God.

--- I know that you’ve heard that Christianity is all about faith. I don’t mind saying that words like “blind faith” made my skin crawl. I live in the real world, where if you are blind, somebody will take advantage of you, and lead you astray. Let me tell you what being born-again,,, peace joy contentment comfort everything is new

--- I like to laugh, joke around a lot, and like a lot of people, get my digs in; but only in fun, and not with people that take it too seriously. I can be quite witty at times, and then very serious, when it's needed. I do still have the odd drink occasionally.
