lhexaSomething that deserves explaining:
First, the bit about the millenial rain. During my third stay in a psychiatric ward I was given an "Amplified Bible" by my first roommate, who said that he had been anointed. I've read through Genesis eagerly, but the New Testament is less appealing to me. However, at one point while looking at the outline of Revelation, I noticed in the last part of the outline these sections: "Millennial reign," "Rebellion and Judgment," "New heaven, new earth, new Jerusalem." The first one grabbed me in particular because of the tokens of Christianity suddenly becoming apparent in my life. I didn't want any part of any reign. But I had already grown to appreciate how the semantic and phonetic similarities in and among words have far-reaching effects on thought, feeling, and spirituality. So I figured that a millennial rain would be a good idea: it would make it obvious to the world that something odd and unphysical was happening.
Dallas, Texas, the place where I currently reside, then had eighteen days of (usually light) rain, breaking records. Outside sources for this oddity can be found by using Google's news function, setting the search date to June of this year, and searching for "Texas weather."
I was enjoying it, frankly. But in the night before July 1, I couldn't sleep until dawn, and there haven't been rainy days since. Thus I renewed my promise.
