Dave (Calvin) Chappell:  

Hopefully, I'm remembered as a pleasant, honest, sincere seeker of knowledge and wisdom, although, no doubt, some will remember me also as a "loadie" or "stoner", which would also be correct, un42n8ly. And I was quite "mischievous", especially in my senior year, never mind the details. I always wanted to be a pro pitcher or bowler when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a pipedream and, as it turns out, they were right. [Random factoid: the sum of the Roman Numerals for 1 - 500 (I,V,X,L,C,D)is 666! The 7th (M) is perfect, complete and is for the first number, 1,000, that has the letter A in it! Remember, the Lord rested on the 7th day, His greatest work, His Crown of Creation, MAN, was completed, finished ("Tetelestai!", Greek or Aramaic for "It is Finished", the Lord's final word(s) from the cross prior to giving up the GHost)] However, I do now have an entirely different perspective on life and truth. A fully developed world view, a complete paradigm of faith based on facts and generally solid, logical reasoning.[Random factoid: if U capitalize first and last in NewmaN, it's the same word upside down!] [RF: one of my greatest specific, empirical discoveries was this: divide 1 by 7, write it down; divide 2 by 7, write down; 3 by 7, write; 4, 5, 6 by seven, write each number, aligned, directly below its precedent, as: 1/7 = .142857 142857, etc. --> 2/7 = .285714 285714 3/7 = .428571 428571 4/7 = .571428 571428 5/7 = .714285 714285 6/7 = .857142 857142 7/7 = 1. (notice the leap to "the other side" of the decimal point . .) Interesting already, isn't it? Now, split any of the six digit numbers in half, then add them: 142 +857 =999 and it works every time, any of the numbers, FORWARD OR BACKWARD! 999 999 One of the primary messages I infer here is as simple and profound as it is obvious: Once enlightened by the Truth of the Holy Spirit of The Lord God Almighty, made possible by the ultimate sacrifice of His Only, Perfect Son, JESUS, on the Cross for us and our Sin, we begin all the same, the same values and in the same order, only starting and moving on at different places, all to be ultimately converted into ABSOLUTE PERFECTION, AS HE IS (7 to 9). Like from protons to ELECTrons. Now, split any of the 6-digit numbers into 3 2-digit numbers: 14+28+57=99! And so on, for each! Again! If the total is 198, it reduces to 99 by adding the 1 to the 98. ex: 85+71+42= 198, 1+98=99 and again, backward and forward. Now, add any of the six-digit numbers, one digit at a time: 1+4+2+8+5+7=27, and so on, both ways! Of course, 27 reduces to 9 (7+2). Bottom line, initial message: beginning with 7, always end up with 9! (79 is GOLD, Aurum!) Now, here is the question: How does the numeral "7" become the numeral "9?" What's the diff in their forms? 7 - - 9 ? Both have the diagonal from upper right to lower left, the only difference being the horizontal lin...Expand for more
