Dear Willy,

 

 

 

 

Upon reviewing your recent communication with me and others I am being reminded of an experience of mine years ago when I first began studying organic chemistry at the University:

 

 

Having been brought up as a Seventh-day Adventist in a ditto community and transferring to a worldly educational institution I had no idea what I was in for re my new friends in college.

 

 

Having decided not to be prejudiced about who and what they were all about I decided to accept their invitation to a weekend party of theirs. I knew that they were making their own refreshments… They had been requesting all in our class to contribute some of the 98% alcohol we were using in lab, but having never before attended a drinking party I did not understand the implications of that.

 

 

When I first arrived at the party everyone was sober and my first impression was that we were all going to have a pleasant and enjoyable evening together, sharing valuable thoughts upon which we could all continue to grow in life.

 

 

Unfortunately it wasn’t long until we sat down at the table and the first drinks were being served… I very quickly noticed how dull the conversation turned and before long I left the party. It goes without saying that I never tasted any of their alcoholic beverages.

 

 

Well, I never attended one of those parties of theirs again… There was, and is, nothing of value in such for me…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What I cannot tell for sure from my point of view is whether you are drunk on similar beverages as my fellow students at university were, whether you are drunk on such wine as is being referenced in Revelation 14:8, or both…

 

 

On the other hand, being well familiar with the principle inherent in “it’s all in the eyes of the beholder” and likewise the words of our Savior as recorded in Matthew 7:3-5 and Luke 6:41-42, I shall choose at this point to withdraw for the time being from this dialog with you, while doing, as best I can learn how, as Noah did per the Hebrew within Genesis 6:8, “And Noah found beauty in the eyes of Yahweh.” That is, upon beholding the reality of that which is what it is and the ultimate beginnings of each and any particular, as given by our Creator, I may learn also, as Noah did, the reality of whom I am myself, my own weaknesses and my total dependence upon my Creator for any insights into any and all truths and insights…

 

 

 

So, in the end, whether it’s me or you, I must humbly beg for the witness of another, first of all from my Father and ultimate Source, him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

 

 

 

Fare well, Willy! I wish you only the best! And please, no offense! It could be me... and the three fingers pointing back...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Peace, and with a prayer,
