    Happy birthday, John!

    May the Lord continue to bless us with your presence until he just can't wait any longer to be united with you more fully.

    By the way, have you ever explained the significance of the water buffalo avatars?

      Happy Birthday, John!
      Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

                        I believe I did, but it was many years ago at the original TWeb.

                        It was inspired by a prophecy spoken to me by a computer scientist at a presbytery of charismatic pastors and elders.

                            The term used in the prophecy was actually "ox". My usage of water buffalo avatars are more like what I visualized as I listened to the prophecy.

                            Nothing is exactly like what I visualized; the avatars I have used are purely symbolic of what I heard and saw.[/quote

                              Not in this new TWeb.

                              Here is a transcription of the tape recording of the prophecy signified by the avatars.

                              I should emphasize the fact that the gentleman who spoke it to me was a complete stranger to me and I to him; he knew me not at all, but what he spoke was expressive of knowledge of me that only God knew me well enough to express.

                              At a meeting of a presbytery of Charismatic pastors and elders 25 years ago (1991), at Grace Church, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, a computer scientist by the name of Roger Burton was one of several men with prophetic gifting who spoke to me by the power of the Holy Spirit. Here is what he said:
                              Brother, I had a vision of you ― a lonely ox that has been standing out in the field in the heat of the day, very much alone and just feeling almost unused. But I see, I just saw in the Spirit, you have been called in to the farm yard in the evening by the Lord. And there was a ring in your nose. I don't what that symbolizes ― but the Lord had hold of the ring and was pulling you. And you were just a gentle but a mighty, a very powerful but very submitted to the Lord kind of ox ― didn't realize his own strength ― a huge animal. I've never seen such a large ox. And his face was right in front of me as he was approaching the barn. And the Lord says. I'm bringing you in to give you water and grain, that you might know that you are valuable to me, says the Lord, I'm bringing you in, I'm calling you in out of the heat of the day into the yard to get watered and fed, for I have work for you to do, says the Lord. And do not be ashamed of the ring that I have, for you have submitted to me, says the Lord. And do not be ashamed of the things that lie behind you, for know that I have my hand upon you, and I am leading you forth, says the Lord, even though you feel the tugging at your nose, and you feel almost ashamed at the tugging, for others look on and desire to have that leading, for I am leading you says the Lord.

                              Later on during that meeting, the man who spoke those words to me added this:
                              I just want to share the other part of the vision that I had ― I don't know if it had anything to do with that; but I saw you after coming in to be fed and watered ― I saw this same ox, in a rice paddy, I guess it was, I saw the tie kind of hats, I guess, they were cone shaped, very flat shaped; I saw those hats of people. I saw this same ox, out in the field, just walking through the shallow water in the field.
