I was wondering where do you suggest we go from here - do we continue learning Python and if so, could you please point us in the right direction as to what we should be focusing on. Or, would you suggest that we try to dabble in another language and if so, which one. Whatever we do, it needs to hold the interest of a 10 year old. Many thanks and thanks for great book. Hello Al,

A 10 year old son of a friend saw the cover and he said it should be a video game. I am already in negotiations to produce a board game but, as this young man is a game freak, gets thru one every few days waiting for one he can't beat, I thought I ought to look into this. I write, computers are not my thing and I have never played a video game. Do you have an idea where I can go with my game idea? Thank you I have a novel that is being published this month.

At age 35 I wanted to learn something and I had developed keen interest in Python but did not know how to begin with it with interest and fun. As you know it is very difficult to learn with ease at this age. Your book was so helpful that it has made me a very good student again . Thanks indeed. Please keep writing on Python. And an earnest request please write for beginners as not every one is a tech geek by birth. Thanks again Heramb Dear Al,

In truth, Christians believe in 1 God, but that He has three parts: The Creater- Father (the Jewish part of God), the Messiah - Son, Jesus/Y'Shua (the savior who died for our sins), and the Holy Spirit (Ruach Kodesh). The don't believe in 3 separate God running around even though at one time Jesus was on earth. However, while on earth he was actually called "YE-shu-ah". YeshaYahu (Isaiah in Hebrew) refers to both parts of God. We aren't holy enough to say God's name correctly which is why its Yesha, instead of Yeshuah, and Yahu instead of Yahweh. Salvation in Hebrew, incidentally is Yesha'ah and NOT Ye-Shu-Ah. Y'shua just happens to mean Salvation, like Stephanie means "God's crown" to some people, and ?Greek god to others. I forget if its Greek or Roman god. However, I say this not to make you believe, but rather to inform you on what I believe. Feel free to believe what you want. God gave you a choice, its up to you to decide, and for now, you have chosen to deny God. It is your will - Freewill. Thanks!

What I heard was scrambled sounds. What did cure it? Some nitwits praying to Adonai (the Jewish God) and ending the prayer with in the name of Jesus. Not only did the offend the Jewish God, but they also offended the Christian God, but I was healed and could understand what I heard for the first time in my life on the phone. I could also understand everything I heard in person too without having to read lips. What you don't know is that no one could have wanted self-healing as badly as I did when so afraid of dying at the hands of an abusive parent. Yea, I know Jesus is real, but then again He healed me. What has He done for you? Do you know or are you so self made that he couldn't possibly have done anything for you? We know planets exist even though we've not seen them, so why do we insist we have to feel, see, and kill in order to believe God exist? Even Hitler believed in God. Unfortunately, He beieved God told him to murder. He was dilusional and probably had a severe schizophrenic disorder and / or Bipolar - schizo-affective disorder. I believe that latter. However, I must admit its much easier to believe in a big bang theory. ROFL Or it 'coincidence' because it doesn't require you to do anything. Well God was never about the 'doing'. He believe in giving Man Freewill. This meant that Hitler was free to kill as many Jews as he wanted, as bad, evil and wrong as it was. God never wanted to be a "master of puppets". This is something too much of the world doesn't get. They think to believe in God means Rules, and if God really existed then evil wouldn't exist and god would stop this, that and the other thing. Well, if God was about stopping evil, and forcing people to do something, you would believe in God because he'd make you. He won't. Your choice.

Maybe this will change when the religious crutch has largely dispersed and no longer supports such things. As it is right now, I’m struggling to find a job that I most likely will care very little to do, that will probably do as much negatively to people’s progress in life or more than positive, so I can live in a place I’d prefer not to be, so I can pay off the debt of a college degree (which in my perspective was a sad waste of 5 years of my life). If I can find a job that pays enough for me to actually survive on, who knows how many years it will be until I have all my debt paid off. I don’t want money. I don’t want a large expensive house with expensive possessions. I don’t want to be around the masses of ignorant people lost in their preset perceptions of how to live and what to strive for = money. What I want seems impossible for me to have, but not impossible to exist. So in short, I’m very unoptimistic about my very optimistic goals in life. Are you satisfied with what you are doing/where you’re at/who you’re surround by? …yet at the risk of stubbornness I have always replied people do not expect enough from themselves.
