Welcome to the Mind of a Writer

This morning, Derek and I learned that a wonderful brother in Christ has moved on to meet our Savior. David Flynn spent his life serving Christ through the marvelous mind that the Lord gave him. David once told us that, as a child, he had trouble with math, which makes his ability to work with esoteric and very complicated numbers a wonder indeed.

In addition to presenting papers to conferences, Flynn authored two ground-breaking books that continue to stymie even the most thoughtful among us: Cydonia: The Secret Chronicles of Mars (currently out of print) and The Temple at the Center of Time., still available at Amazon.com or at his publisher’s website.

May the Lord bring comfort to David’s family and friends, and may He continue to bless us all through David’s body of work. David’s website and many articles may be found by clicking the image above or clicking here. David, dear friend, you will be sorely missed.

How many of us know that 7,000 people have died from cholera in Haiti–in less than two years? I certainly didn’t. Haiti is still a mess, despite millions of dollars being poured into the ‘economy’ by donor nations. How nice of the UN troops to ‘donate’ this cholera superbug. — SKG

(ABC NEWS) — /SNIP/ The vicious form of cholera has already killed 7,000 people in Haiti, where it surfaced in a remote village in October 2010. Leading researchers from Harvard Medical School and elsewhere told ABC News that, despite UN denials, there is now a mountain of evidence suggesting the strain originated in Nepal, and was carried to Haiti by Nepalese soldiers who came to Haiti to serve as UN peacekeepers after the earthquake that ravaged the country on Jan. 12, 2010 — two years ago today.

While most who follow bird flu reports are aware of the current work taking place in the Netherlands, many are unaware of the scary research going on here in the US. The University of Wisconsin is a case in point. Note that the security approved for the lab is BSL3 (biosafety level 3). Perhaps I’m wrong, but shouldn’t research into a virus that has shown a 60% lethality rate be conducted in a BSL4 Lab?

In my 2005 thriller ‘Armageddon Strain’, scientists combined the current form of H5N1 with ebola to form a ruthless killer. Though my book is fiction, it’s rooted in reality. With this in mind, I suggest reading this excellent article about the recent study of a modified H5N1 virus with a 60% lethal rate:

It dawned on both Derek and me this morning that we’ve been at this ‘blogging bit’ for nearly ten years. We began in October 2002 for that year’s National Novel Writing Month marathon, and we’ve been going since. PID Radio began a few years later in March 2005, so we’ll soon celebrate seven years of mind-numbing blather.

We’ve made many wonderful friends along this journey, and we’ve met and interviewed resourceful colleagues–way too many to list. We thank each and every one of you for your support, prayers, and faithful listenership. Derek and I look forward to the coming prophetic year, and we hope to bring you more great interviews on VFTB as well as insights into the machinations of the supernatural realm during our Sunday night chats on PID Radio.

Thanks be to our God and King for guiding us along His path. May we all work to prepare the way for the coming King of Kings, Jesus Christ, who will soon reign upon this earth as He promised.
