Vision Part 6 Million Dollar Man

Biography of the Million Dollar Man - Ted DiBiase
Ted DiBiase has been involved in the world of professional wrestling his entire life. His stepfather, wrestler "Iron Mike" DiBiase, began the tradition and had a strong influence on him as a child. He died in the ring when Ted was fifteen. Shortly after, his mother slipped into a depression and turned to alcohol. Ted moved into a little town in southern Arizona to live with his grandparents. After Ted's junior year in college at West Texas State University
in Canyon, Texas, he stepped into the squared circle to follow in his father's footsteps.
After wrestling in Amarillo, Texas and Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, Ted moved to Atlanta to continue his wrestling
career. While there he met his future wife Melanie and they
were married in 1981. Ted's wrestling engagements kept
him away from her, while ego, pride, and money took
center stage. After the birth of their first son Teddy, the
DiBiase's moved to Mississippi where he continued
wrestling for Mid-South Wrestling. Ted was hoping that the
World Wrestling Federation (WWF) would take notice of his
talent. The WWF did take notice. They had an idea for a
new character and developed Ted into the "Million Dollar
Man" and he was surrounded by money, limousines and
life in the fast lane. Through hard work and much
determination he quickly rose to the top of his profession
where he has remained for the past twenty years.
Ted's career as a wrestler has taken him all over the world; all over Europe, Japan, India,
Canada, and all of the fifty states, including Alaska and Hawaii. Ted has held many
wrestling titles over his expansive career not withstanding, "The World Championship
Title." He has wrestled alone, as part of a tag team, and in recent years as the role of
manager. You may also have heard him at times behind the camera as he often
Million Dollar Man - Ted DiBiase
commentated and did color commentating for World Championship Wrestling.
Due to a neck injury several years ago, Ted was forced to give up the physical side of professional wrestling. He acted as a ringside manager in both the WWF (Andre the Giant, Steve Austin) and WCW (Steiner Brothers). While with WCW, Ted appeared on Ted Turner's cable networks "Monday
Nitro" and "Thursday Thunder" TV programs, and acted as creative consultant to EA Sports for their WCW Mayhem video game designed for the Sony Saturn and N64 game systems. He also traveled the Nascar circuit
as a WCW representative. Ted's WCW contract expired in 1999, and since then, Ted has taken on new roles outside of professional wrestling. He is a spokesperson for the Sunshine Foundation, an organization
that grants wishes for critically ill children, and has founded Heart of David Ministries (for which he travels the world as an evangelist furthering the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Also through Heart of David Ministries, Ted shares his prayer of hope all over America in motivational assemblies speaking out against the results of drug and alcohol abuse - warning America's youth about the trap of being addicted to drugs and alcohol. He also encourages them to stay in school, set reachable goals and pay whatever price it takes to become the best that they can be. But, Ted's speaking ministry is not focused only on youth, but he I actually has an even stronger message for "macho men" out there, and also struggling married couples. He speaks at men's meetings, whole church congregations, and special events. Recently, Ted has been very vocal about the state of today's professional wrestling - speaking against the sex and vulgar language in the
current product. He is currently exploring the possibilities of starting his own small federation which would be run as an outreach of Heart of David Ministries

Vision Part 5 Nightcrawler

Real name: Kurt Wagner
Other aliases: None
Identity: Secret
Occupation: Adventurer
Legal status: Criminal record in the United States, later overturned
by the courts; still wanted internationally as an outlaw
Place of birth: Somewhere in the Bavarian Alps
Marital status: Single
Known relatives: Eric Wagner (father, deceased), Margali Szardos
(foster mother), Jimaine Szardos (Daytripper, alias Amanda Sefton,
foster sister), Stefan Szardos (foster brother, deceased). The name of
Wagner's mother, who was presumed to be deceased, is not known
for certain, though it may be the mutant Mystique.
Base of operations: Muir Island, Scotland
Group affiliation: Excalibur, (formerly) X-Men
First appearance: GIANT-SIZE X-MEN #1
History: Kurt Wagner was born with certain unusual physical
characteristics, but his power of self-teleportation did not emerge
until puberty. Margali Szardos, a sorceress and gypsy queen, found

Wagner an hour after his birth, in a small roadside shelter in the
Bavarian Alps. She found his father, Eric Wagner, dead of a heart
attack on the road outside. Margali is said to have found Wagner's
mother lying next to the baby and dying, but this assertion has been
called into question, and not even Kurt Wagner knows the truth.
Margali took the baby to the small Bavarian circus where she worked
as a fortuneteller as a "cover" for her activities as a sorceress.
Wagner was never legally adopted by anyone, but was raised by all
the members of the circus, who had no prejudices against "freaks."
Margali acted as Wagner's unofficial foster mother.
Wagner grew up happily in the circus, and his two closest friends
were Margali's natural children Stefan and Jimaine. Long before his
teleportation power emerged, Wagner had tremendous natural
agility, and by his adolescence he had become the circus's star
acrobat and aerial artist. Circus audiences assumed that he was a
normal-looking human being wearing a demon-like costume.
Years later, the Texas millionaire Arnos Jardine, who ran a large
circus based in Florida, heard of the circus Wagner worked for and
bought it. Jardine intended to move its best acts into his American
circus. However, he demanded that Wagner be placed in the circus's
freak show. Appalled, Wagner quit and made his way towards
Winzeldorf, Germany, where Stefan was. He discovered that Stefan
had gone mad and had brutally slain several children. Two nights
after leaving the circus, Wagner found Stefan and fought him, hoping
to stop his rampage. In the course of the struggle, Wagner
unintentionally broke Stefan's neck. Then the villagers of Winzeldorf,
who assumed him to be a demon who was responsible for the child
killings, discovered Wagner. They were about to kill him when they
were all psionically paralyzed by Professor Charles Xavier, who had
come to recruit Wagner into the X-Men. Wagner agreed to join the
group, but before they left for America, he and Xavier went to the
Bavarian circus so that Wagner could explain to Margali about
Stefan's death. However, Margali was not there. She held Wagner
responsible for murdering Stefan, but years later, she learned the
truth and she and Wagner were reconciled. Wagner was also happily
reunited with Jimaine, who now lives in the United States under the
name of Amanda Sefton. Known as Nightcrawler, Wagner became a
member of the X-Men.
Nightcrawler remained with the X-Men for years. Eventually,
however, he became a founding member of the British-based team
Excalibur and is now the team's leader.
Wagner has recently been told that his mother is the mutant known
as Mystique. To save her own life, she claims she had to toss the
newborn child into a waterfall, yet Mystique may have wanted to
mislead Wagner and may not actually be his birth mother. Wagner
now believes that his mother is Mystique and when and if new
information comes to light it is not known how Wagner will react to
the news, or to Mystique.
Height: 5 ft. 9 in.
Weight: 195 lbs.
Eyes: Shining yellow, no visible pupils
Hair: Indigo
Other distinguishing features: Nightcrawler has only 3 fingers
(including an opposable thumb) on each hand, and only 2 toes, each
longer than an ordinary human's, on each foot. Nightcrawler also has
a prehensile tail about 3 1/2 feet long, which can carry his own
weight. His body is almost entirely covered with a fine indigo-colored
fur, making him so dark that he seems to blend into deep shadows.
(Contrary to appearances, he does not literally turn invisible in deep
shadow.) Nightcrawler also has pointed ears and pronounced fanglike
canine teeth. His spine is more flexible than an ordinary human
being's, allowing him to spend much of his time in a semi-crouching
position without damaging his posture and enables him to perform
contortionist-like feats.
Strength level: Nightcrawler possesses at least the normal human
strength of a man of his age, height, and build who engages in
intensive regular exercise.
Known superhuman powers: Nightcrawler is a mutant with the
ability to teleport himself, the clothes he is wearing, and, within
limits, a certain amount of additional mass which is in contact with
him. He teleports by displacing himself into another dimension (the
nature of which is as yet unknown), travelling through it, and then
returning to his own dimension at a certain distance from his point of
departure. He consciously determines his point of return. The entire
process occurs so quickly that Nightcrawler is unaware of being in
another dimension at all. Nightcrawler guides himself through the
other dimension by an unconscious, natural direction-finding sense.
Although Nightcrawler controls his teleportational ability with his
conscious mind, his power to teleport is not psionic. Rather it is the
result of an unknown biochemical/biophysical reaction which he
triggers mentally.
When he disappears in teleporting, Nightcrawler leaves behind smoke
with a stench reminiscent of burning brimstone. This is a small
portion of the atmosphere of this other dimension that escapes while
the aperture is open. His teleportation is invariably accompanied by
the muffled sound of imploding air rushing to fill the vacuum left
where Nightcrawler's volume was.The longer the distance over which
Nightcrawler teleports himself, the harder and more exhausting it is
for him to make the teleportational "jump." It is easier for him to
teleport between north and south (along Earth's magnetic lines of
force) than it is for him to teleport between east and west (against
the magnetic lines). Under optimal conditions, teleporting only
himself and his costume, Nightcrawler can displace himself a distance
of about 2 miles east-to-west, and up to 3 miles north-to-south.
Making a vertical teleportation upwards is difficult and dangerous.
Nightcrawler has made a vertical teleportational "jump" of 2 miles by
pushing himself to his physical limits.
Nightcrawler has a very limited unconscious extrasensory ability that
prevents him from teleporting himself so that his feet, for example,
would materialize below the surface of the local ground. Because this
ability is so limited, however, Nightcrawler will not teleport into any
place that he cannot see or has not seen in the past. If Nightcrawler
teleported himself into an unfamiliar area, he would run the risk of
materializing partially or entirely within a solid object. If too much of
his body materialized within a solid object, he would probably be
killed.
Nightcrawler's powers automatically displace liquids and gases when
he arrives in the course of a teleportation. Nightcrawler's momentum
is retained throughout the process of teleportation: he arrives with
whatever amount of inertia he left with. For example, if he were
falling from a great height, he could not teleport himself towards the
ground in order to save himself; he would land with the same velocity
that he teleported with. He can subtract this inertia by teleporting
short distances upwards (as though taking two steps back for every
one forward).
The limits to the amount of weight that Nightcrawler can carry with
himself while teleporting, and the limits to the range of distance over
which he can teleport himself with such additional loads, are
unknown. When he transports a passenger over even moderate
distances, they both feel weakened and ill, to the point of exhaustion.
Teleportation over further distances could be fatal. Through practice,
Nightcrawler has increased the mass he can teleport with him. (He
once teleported himself and Storm from the center of a small island
into the water just off its coast without harming either of them). The
upper limits of this capacity are as yet unknown.
Other abilities: Nightcrawler is a superb athlete and an Olympicclass
acrobat. He can do a standing high jump of about 8 feet. He is
skilled at hand-to-hand combat and is a master at fencing, which he
can even perform with his tail.

Vision Part 4 Wolverine

Real Name: James Howlett, now
goes by Logan
Identity: Secret
Occupation: (current) Adventurer, member of the X-Men, (possible
former) Samurai, (former) CIA operative, member of Canada's
Weapon X program, leader of Alpha Flight, bartender on Madripoor
Other Aliases: Weapon X, Patch
Place of Birth: Unknown, presumably in Canada.
Marital Status: Single
Known Relatives: John Howlett (father, deceased), Elizabeth Howlett
(mother, presumed deceased) "The Old Man" (unnamed grandfather,
presumed deceased) Windsong (wife, deceased)
Base of Operations: (current) Xavier Institute for Higher Learning,
(former) the Clan Yashida compound in Japan, Department H in Canada.
Group Affiliation: (current) X-Men, (former) Clan Yashida, the Weapon X
Program, Alpha Flight
First Appearance: THE INCREDIBLE HULK #181
History: In the late 1880's a child by the name of James Howlett
was born. As a child James was a frail and sick boy. His allergies
didn't allow him to go out and play much. His father had requested
that a twelve year old girl be brought to their estate. That girl was
named Rose and she was to be a friend and play mate to James. She
read to him and looked after him. Along with the grounds keeper's
son, Dog, James and Rose were the only children on the hill where
the estate was. They had become close friends and played together
as much as possible but Dog slowly grew away from them. Dog's
father, the grounds keeper was named Thomas Logan, he was an
alcoholic and abuse his son.
Over the next few years Dog started to follow in his father footsteps,
becoming cruel and heartless. James was given more responsibilities
by his father and grandfather. After a big fight, Dog killed James's K-
9 companion which resulted in the Logans getting kicked off the
Howlett estate.
Other Links
In a fit of rage and anger Thomas Logan and his son entered the
estate armed. They then took Rose hostage and demanded that she
take them to the masters' bedroom. There the elder Logan tried to
persuade James's mother, Elizabeth, to leave with them. Before they
could leave John entered the room and discovered them together. In
a rage of hate and dislike Thomas shot John as James walked into the
room. Seeing his father shot and killed shocked him so much that it
triggered his latent mutant abilities. His claws extended and
continued through Thomas. After his mother
shunned him for his unusual abilities he
fled the house. Rose followed to see what
she could do. She found James outside
the house on the ground and cold. She
brought him to the barn in order to try
and warm him up. Not knowing what to
do Rose brought James to his
grandfather house. He ended up giving
them cash and told them never to come
back again. Rose took James and
went to British Columbia looking for
a place that they could live in peace.
Rose remembered her father talking of quarries in the Northern
frontiers and she figured that would be a good place for them to start
looking. Making it to a quarry, they met a man named Smitty who
was the foreman. That is when Rose gave James the name Logan to
hide his true identity.
By the second summer there Logan was providing for both Rose and
himself. He had trained himself to be a fine hunter and he also
worked hard at the quarry. Smitty even gave him a new job in
demolitions. Shortly after that Smitty asked Rose to marry him. The
proposal upset Logan but he finally realized that Smitty did indeed
love Rose. Logan then helped Smitty get money for tickets away from
the quarry.
Before Smitty and Rose could leave Dog showed up. At the request of
Logans grandfather he was to kill Logan and Rose for what he
believed they did. In the fight that followed Rose tried to break it up
but was struck by Logans claws and died. After that, not being able
to live among people for what he did he left the camp and went off
into the wilderness to live alone.
It wasn't until his first recorded encounter with the Hulk, as an agent
of Canada's Department H, that anyone had heard of him or knew
that he was interacting with people again.
Logan possesses memories of being a Samurai in Japan, a mercenary
operative for the Central Intelligence Agency, and a "wild man" in the
Canadian wilderness. Due to the extensive memory implants given to
Logan through the Weapon X program, any and all of these memories
are suspect. Logan has at least one memory of meeting Captain
America in World War II which was verified as true. It is possible that
Logan's healing factor grants him an extended life span and has
granted him the physical condition of a man in his prime, despite his
age.
Sometime after World War II, Logan was taken by a group
of scientists led by Dr.Cornelius as part of the
Weapon X program. Cornelius was hired to perfect and use a
technique that would bond the indestructible element
adamantium to human bone cells. Logan's skeleton was
bonded to the adamantium, and he was indoctrinated into
the Weapon X assassin program.
After his encounter with the Hulk, Wolverine was
conscripted by Department Hto join and lead Alpha Flight,
Canada's government-run super team. During his leadership of Alpha
Flight, Wolverine was approached by Professor Charles Xavier, who
was looking for mutants to help his students, the X-Men, escape from
the island-being known as Krakoa, which had captured them.
Wolverine left Alpha Flight to accompany Xavier and rescue the
captured X-Men. After Krakoa was defeated, Wolverine decided to
stay with the X-Men, for reasons which included that he had fallen for
the X-Man known as Marvel Girl.
Logan remained with the X-Men for quite some time, at one time
being their field commander, and encountering adversaries such as
Proteus, Magneto, the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, the Brood, the
Reavers, demons from the dimension of Limbo, the Marauders, the
Morlocks, and even Dracula on one occasion.
After his encounter with the mutant assassin Omega Red, Logan
began to question the memories he possessed, but his searches to
find his true identity and memories proved fruitless.
During an encounter with the mutant Magneto on his space station called
Avalon, Wolverine attempted to defeat Magneto using the claws presumably
given to him by the Weapon X project. Magneto retaliated, using his powers of
the magnetic field to tear the adamantium out of Wolverine's
skeleton, causing extensive injuries. These injuries shorted out Wolverine's
healing factor for a time, and Logan also discovered that the claws that he
believed a result of the Weapon X project were in fact a natural mutation.
The claws he now possesses are bone, and a natural part of his skeletal
structure.
As a result of his injuries, Logan left the X-Men for a time, returning after he
was asked by Xavier, who also asked the mutant Cable, to rescue the X-Men
in Tibet, where they were captured during the Phalanx invasion.
Recently, Logan was kidnapped by Tyler Dayspring, calling himself Genesis, who wanted to make Wolverine one of his new Horsemen. Genesis had acquired
adamantium by destroying the body of the mercenary known as
Cyber, and had planned to recreate the bonding process used on
Logan years ago. This time, however, Logan's body rejected the
adamantium, and he regressed for a time to a feral-like state.
Logan regained his lucidity, rejoined the X-Men, and is now
supervising the team while Cyclops and Jean Grey are on leave. Still
without his Adamantium, Logan was kidnapped by the would-be
conqueror Apocalypse, perhaps the world's first mutant, and forced to
fight the savage assassin Sabretooth for the mantle of the Horseman
Death. Viewing himself as a more merciful candidate than his fellow
mutant, Logan fought hard to win the battle. As a result, his skeleton
again was laced with Adamantium. Under the control of Apocalypse,
Wolverine fought the X-Men ferociously in his Death persona. But
with the help of his teammates, he eventually broke free from
Apocalypse's control.
Height:5 ft. 3 in.
Weight: (without adamantium skeleton) 200 lbs., (with adamantium
skeleton) 300 lbs.
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Black
Strength Level: While Wolverine may be of an advanced age, he
possesses the normal human strength of a man in his prime with his
height and build who engages in intensive regular exercise. While
possessing the adamantium skeleton, Wolverine's strength was
increased to the human maximum, making him capable of lifting
(pressing) 800 lbs.
Known Superhuman Powers: Wolverine is a mutant with a number
of enhancements to his physiology. Wolverine possesses heightened
senses, making him capable of seeing things at a maximum distance
greater than that of a normal human. His hearing is enhanced in a
similar manner, and he is able to recognize people and objects by
scent, even if that person or object is hidden. Logan can use these
enhanced senses to track anyone, with an impressive degree of
success.
He possesses retractable bone claws that are housed in his forearms,
they are part of his skeleton system. At will Wolverine can release
these claws through his skin between the knuckles on each hand. The
skin between the knuckles tears and bleeds, but bleeding is quickly
halted by his healing factor. The claws are naturally sharp and
tougher than that of normal human bone structure. This allows
Wolverine to be able to cut through most types of flesh and natural
materials. (Note: While Wolverine possessed his adamantium
skeleton, his claws were able to cut through almost any material
without any fear of damage to the claws.)
Lastly, Wolverine possesses an accelerated healing factor based on
his physiology. While most normal humans heal injuries over a long
period of time, Wolverine's healing factor speeds up that natural
process. Wolverine's natural healing has been advanced to the point
where he can heal extensive injuries (such as broken limbs) in a
matter of hours to days. This factor gives him a higher resistance to
poisons and toxins, and he can recover from almost any injury. The
more extensive the injury, the longer the healing time will be.
Wolverine is not immortal, however. If the injuries are extensive
enough, especially if they result in the loss of vital organs, large
amounts of blood, and/or loss of physical form (such as having flesh
burned away by fire or acid), Logan can die.
Wolverine, again due to his healing factor, has an enhanced
resistance to disease, as well as an extended life span. Despite
Wolverine's chronological age, he is still as healthy and physically fit
as a man in his prime.
Abilities: Due to his extensive training as a CIA operative, a
Samurai, and as a member of the Weapon X program, Wolverine is a
master of multiple forms of martial arts, weapons, and vehicles. He is
also a trained expert in computers, explosives, and assassination
techniques.

Vision Part 3 Storm

Other aliases: (current) None, (former—in Kenya and Tanzania) "Beautiful Windrider"
Identity: Secret
Occupation: Adventurer, (former) "Goddess" to an African tribe, master thief
Legal status: Citizen of the United States with no criminal record. (She probably has a record as a juvenile offender in Egypt, but not under her true name.)
Place of birth: New York City, New York
Marital status: Single
Known relatives: David Munroe (father, deceased), N'Dare Munroe (mother,
deceased), Ashake (ancestor, deceased)

First appearance: GIANT-SIZE X-MEN #1
History: Storm is the descendant of an ancient line of African priestesses, all of
whom have white hair, blue eyes, and the potential to wield magic. Her mother,
N'Dare, was the princess of a tribe in Kenya. She married the American
photojournalist David Munroe and moved with him to Manhattan, where Ororo was born.
When Ororo was six months old, she and her parents moved to Cairo,
Egypt. Five years later, a bomb destroyed their home. Ororo's parents
were killed, but she survived, buried under rubble near her mother's
body. This traumatizing effect left Ororo with the severe
claustrophobia that still afflicts her today.
Homeless and orphaned, Ororo, came under the tutelage of master
thief Achmed el-Gibar. She became his prize pupil in thievery and in
picking locks.
Years later, feeling a strong urge to go south, Ororo
journeyed alone across the Sahara Desert and finally
reached her ancestors' homeland, the Serengeti Plain,
which lies in the modern nations of Kenya and Tanzania. By this
time her mutant power to control the weather had
emerged, and she used them to help the local tribes, who
worshipped her as a goddess.
Ororo remained with the tribes for years until Professor Charles
Xavier recruited her into the new team of X-Men he was
assembling. She was given the code name "Storm" after her
power to affect the weather.
Except for brief periods away from the team, Storm has
remained in the X-Men ever since and shares leadership of
the X-Men with Cyclops.

Storm has the psionic ability to control the weather over limited
areas. She can fly by creating winds strong enough to support her weight.
Storm has limited immunity to extreme heat and cold.
Special limitations: Storm's psionic powers over the weather are
affected by her emotions; hence, if she does not maintain control of
her emotions, a fit of rage might induce a destructive storm. Also,
Storm suffers from severe claustrophobia.
Other accessories: Storm carries lock picks.

The Vision Part 2 DareDevil

Each Post will contain another part of information to understand the dream all of which god revealed to mein a 5-10 minute peroid....

Real name: Matthew Michael Murdock
Occupation: Lawyer
Identity: Secret
Legal status: Citizen of the United States with no criminal
record
Place of birth: New York City
Group affiliation: None
Base of operations: New York City
First appearance: DAREDEVIL #1 Vol. 1


History: Young Matt Murdock saw a truck about to hit a blind man,
and hurled himself in front of it. This good deed changed his life
forever, when a can of radioactive waste fell from the truck, broke
open, and irradiated Murdock. The accident blinded the young New
Yorker, but also mutagenically heightened his other senses. He
later met a martial arts master, Stick, who taught him how to use
his newly augmented senses – and trained him as a fighter. Murdock
went on to college, and fell in love with Elektra Natchios. When
Elektra fled, Murdock threw himself into his law studies. When his
father, a boxer, was killed by mobsters when he refused to throw a
fight, Murdock sought justice in vain. Finally disillusioned by the legal
system, Murdock assumed the guise of Daredevil. Further fueled to
vengeance and crime-fighting by the death of Elektra, Daredevil uses
his radar senses to forever seek justice, whenever his law degree
fails him.

Height: 6 ft.
Weight: 200 lbs.
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Red


Known powers: Daredevil possesses the normal human strength of
a man his age, height, and build who engages in intensive regular
exercise. Daredevil's five sense are heightened to beyond that of
even superhumanly enhanced sense. Although Murdock is blind, he
can "see" by means of his "radar sense", which acts not unlike sonar.
Daredevil is an Olympic level athlete and gymnast, possessing
extraordinary agility, endurance, skill and balance. Daredevil's unique
fighting style (a blend of ninjitsu, judo and American-style boxing)
makes effective use of his Billy Club, which is used as both a baton
and grappling hook.

Vision

You may have heard about the dream that I had a couple weeks ago. Let me retell it.

There wasn’t much to it, but this was the setup. Myself ,Daredevil, Wolverine, Storm, and Nightcrawler (from the marvel comic books) were being held captive at the New Life Christian Academy Building. We wondered who could be keeping us captured, since they were super heroes.

I looked down the hall and saw the man. It was the million dollar man; Ted DiBiase. He had a bobble head.

We all decided that we need to combine our strength if we are going to be able to get out. Everyone decided to channel there energy into me, so we held hands. The order was Daredevil, me, wolverine, storm, and night crawler. Storm shot lightening through wolverine’s adamantum skeleton and used his healing factor so I would be ok to handle the electricity. I was able to think and lightening would come down and strike the earth; I accidentally toasted a desk.

For several days I told people this dream; I thought it was quite funny and unrelated to anything I knew. However today while resting in the presence of God the dream was brought back to my remembrance and God revealed to me what the dream meant. It was an allegory of the state of the church. Each characters role and characteristics play a major part in the interpretation, so I have included them below before the interpretation.

Community

  • Section 4:

    Avoiding conflict kills community.
    The restoration of community as far as it is up to you- live at peace with everyone as far as it relies on you.
    We must all learn to manage conflict constructively if we are to live as Christ wants us to.
    Death and life are in the power of the tongue
    The advice to suffer wrong for the sake of a greater gain really is part of Christian behavior, but it doesn’t come easily.

Tribal Music Tribal People

Last night at the blue water house of prayer the lord was good in the present.
at some point the music took on a tribal edge, which was intresting considering we have virtually no tribal instruments (maybe you can consider the congas tribal). But with all our electricinstruments the music took on a tribal edge. This carried to the spirit of the people and the work that the lord was doing in breaking his people free from anything that held them back from his presence and his plan of community.

I like this one definition given on www.dictionary.com. it says this of a tribe.

a collection of families descending from one ancestor. The "twelve tribes" of
the Hebrews were the twelve collections of families which sprang from the sons
of Jacob. In Matt. 24:30 the word has a wider significance. The tribes of
Israel are referred to as types of the spiritual family of God!

God is good and so are his people. if you are in the Spirit of God i am so glad to be your brother or sister.

Dreaming More

I was captured. Captured with company that seems they could be of help in a capturing. these people were from comic books they were: storm, wolverine, daredevil, and nightcrawler. it seems that with this company one would not be one that would be prone to capturing. However, we were trapped in the new life chirstian academy building; the thrid room from the end of the south wing.

how could we be captured, well i looked down the hall and it was a wrestler. not just any wrestler; it was ted debeosy, the million dollar man, and he was wearing the championship belt. not only this, but his head was a bobble head. we knew we were introuble. so one of the superheroes suggested this eleborate plan that would transfer each superheroes strength to me. so we lined up and held hands. the order was daredevil, me, storm, and then nifght crawler. storm was passing lightening through the metal in wolverine, in dont know what the others were doing, wolverine was passing his healing through me so the lightening wouldnt kill me. i was hoping i didnt get daredevils blindness.

so the proces was almost done and i tried shooting the lightening and toasted a desk. storm warned me to be careful. it was rather uneventful other than this for i woke up.
