The Wikipedia for "Apocryphal' mentions the word "esoteric" which also alludes to secret writings. I probably shouldn't have even posted the two words or attempted to explain them. They quickly go beyond my desire to explore them further.
I still, quite simply, believe that there is a God in Heaven, He sent his Son to die for the sins of us, his human creations, and He is still in control. I, nor any of us, don't personaly deserve anything except for His grace.

The word Apocryphal-John Massey
My brilliant friend, John Massey, recently used this term in an e-mail. Wikipedia- the internet on-going encyclopedia- is subject to false testimonials, but I visit it often, keeping "caveat emptor" in mind.
I discovered that it means "those having been hidden away", at least as I understand it.
Forgive me. I am not an existentialist by any small means. This quickly goes beyond my simple Christian faith, but I, nonetheless, found the word interesting.

Thinkexist.com- Profound quote Clay!
This is a profound truism, Clay. Thanks!
I became the 3900th visitor to my site this morning. I probably visited it 3899 other times. ;) Although I realize that you have been on here a few times yourself.
I just added up my posts. I normally check the count each time as a matter of my ego. I posted 683 topics (some were more than one topic option) and obtained the number 683. The percentage is 17.5 of the 3900, therefore I thank each of the others who visit.
I would enjoy a comment or two occasionally, even if it may be a view contrary to my own.

"Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become character. Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny."
