Darin was a very special and talented entertainer. He was a Grammy award winning singer ('Mack The Knife'), a respected member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ('Dream Lover', 'Splish Splash', 'If I Were A Carpenter') a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, a successful record producer, an Oscar nominated actor and a strong supporter of the American Heart Association. Bobby was married to actress Sandra Dee from 1960-1967. They had one son, Dodd, born in December 1961. As a result of complications from a rheumatic heart, Bobby's life was tragically cut short in 1973.
Darin's mother, Vanina Cassotto, had given birth to him when she was 16, and as a result, her parents raised Darin as though he were their son while Vanina was presented off as his elder sister. Darin did not learn the truth about his parentage until he was 32.

The song "I" by Bobby Darin is an empowering anthem that celebrates self-sufficiency and individuality. The lyrics describe a "sexy lady" who is confident and independent, who knows what she wants out of life, and who doesn't need a man to depend on. The singer, who turns out to be the same "sexy lady," expresses pride in herself and refuses to be "defeated" or "stop now," as she has "got it all figured out." The refrain "I am, yes I am" reinforces her sense of self-worth and identity.
The song seems to have a feminist message, advocating for women's autonomy and self-determination. The narrative unfolds in a way that suggests that the "sexy lady" has overcome obstacles and hardships on her own, and that she doesn't need a man to validate her or make her happy. The line "she ain't running behind you" suggests that she doesn't chase after men or need their approval, which is a refreshing message in a genre that often romanticizes male control over women.
The song's upbeat tempo and catchy melody reinforce the message of resilience and self-assurance. Overall, the song is a catchy and empowering anthem that celebrates being true to oneself and not relying on others.

This is the prophecy about the second coming of Jesus
Zechariah 13:7
βAwake, sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is close to me!β declares the LORD Almighty. βStrike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn my hand against the little ones.
The Shepherd here is Jesus.
John 10:11
βI am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
This is the fulfillment of the prophecy.
Matthew 26:31
Then Jesus told them, βThis very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: ββI will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.β
This happened near 30 AD.
Hosea 6:1-2
Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds.
After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence.
In prophecies 1day is equal to 1000 years. Which means after two thousand years Jesus will return again.
And on the third day which is the 3rd millennium, we will live in his sight. We all know we cannot see God's face and live on Earth. So it's the second coming of Jesus.
Luke 21:11 βΊ
There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
Matthew 24:6
You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
We are the witnesses of all these things. From the death of Jesus to 2030 there are 2000 years. Jesus is coming soon. Let's all repent and turn from our old ways and turn to the Lord.
Praise the Lord.
Peace and Love to you all
Easter is pagan, the resurrection day of the Lord is correct and please stop taking the Lord's name in vain like saying omg or using it with a bad word or taking it in anyway that is in vain. Even the devil trembles in his name and we shouldn't use the powerful name like that. For the people who says Jesus is not God here's a verse.
Isaiah 9:6
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Everlasting Father?. There's your answer
The whole world will turn against Israel and not just Palestinians. Then know the end is near.
God bless you all.
Please spread this message to the ends of the worldπ
