You went to school with the encouragement of relatives watching. They expected nothing else of you but to study and to go to school. You might have passed or failed. But, when you passed someone suggested unusually that he or she was trying to be something. But, the relatives could not have wanted their hugs, coffees and kisses wasted during study before exams. They would have wanted a good result. Graduating is not to try to be anything other than an appreciative relative to relatives who were kind and appreciative during that time of study and preparation. Don't let the voice of family division into your family. What did that voice do for their studying/graduate-relative?

1st john 1:9 means that God is not expecting perfection but relationship.

You went to Sunday school. But, you never accepted Christ as your sacrifice for those moments of shortcoming in your human perfection. But, you saw someone and instead of accepting your shortcoming and Christ as your sacrifice, you rejected your shortcoming in perfection and Christ as the efficient sacrifice. It used to be a lamb a day; just for the priest and a few more for the congregation. But, Jesus took the few in hand and multiplied in efficiency. He is the sacrifice. Instead, you must have decided to say "...this is me and there is nothing wrong with it. I am perfect." But, this will not explain your desire to see someone as a "passing away" and you don't know why you are bothered with them because they don't think about you or anyone else with such continued interest. Instead, they read Hebrews 9, 1st John 1:9 and John 3:16. If it is really ok, then you don't need anyone as a "passing away" while you remind yourself that "..there is nothing wrong." You are perfect. There are some people who flipped a coin and took Christ as that sacrifice and didn't worry about anyone else. They took the chance with the flip of a coin and it worked. There was an umbilical sense of knowing that you are ok and that the 10 commandments are an innate part of you. In light of that shortcoming in perfection, you know you are ok as you read 1st John 1:9 in the faith of Abraham. 1st john 1:9 means that God is not expecting perfection but relationship. Your self esteem is not the claim of perfection but the reality of an arbiter and Father who is just like the father figure or mother figure in your house or the school teacher who scolded you, taught you in love and then forgave you, teaching you grammar, serving you that home cooked dinner or buying that Action figure or doll on sale before it was your birthday. Your cousin's mother did it differently but that is the general idea in every parent-child relationship where no body is perfect. It works. With Jesus, it is finished. Is it possible that someone could worship rejection and the power one feels in rejecting/shedding others? You have family once in this brief experience of life who love you too very much and its really nice to have family around every so often. Whether you are first born or the last, everyone is a child of God. See Psalms 82. David was in the middling group. He was not first born.

Arguments over obvious Beneficial Human Simplification with the Theory Of Relativity Leads To Conflict: Global disagreement and disagreement about something very simple in an age of simplification in the application of technology since 1905.

The simplification of our world by way of a theory!

It is interesting that the world has experienced two world wars; arguably three such wars since Einstein wrote his theory on relativity. It was written four years after men found a duplicatable and transferable method in which to defy gravity at Kitty Hawk. Essentially, since the writing of the theory man has satisfied Christ's prophecy that we would do greater things collectively above and beyond the awe of His miracles. Mechanical Flight is a miracle that transcends any human imagination that existed at the time of Christ's ascendance into Heaven.
He did say we would do greater things. This includes the mass production of all consumer goods, including the beef from the butcher, bread from the baker and the candles from the candle stick maker. Man has obviously agreed on the goodness of mass produced goods, mechanical flight, motorized carriage and other various mass and collective improvements to human life. Cell phones and cell phone networks are evidence of how man and human kind is cooperating globally so that mankind and their businesses can achieve their global agendas. We show evidence of a global social and economic contract that works and your roaming charges while travelling to the extremities of the planet are evidence.
So, mankind has agreed and communicated collectively on the simplifying power of Einstein's theory since 1905 and has benefited accordingly. There is probably a lower likelihood for human conflict to be expected in such abundance that is produced with such ease. Our hands are not idle but we have found other ways to apply our human energies with beautiful art and research on other methods to solve human problems. The universities are full and fully financed. There is no lack of knowledge. Our wealth of knowledge will not be lost but preserved; whether we apply our technological discoveries or not. The possibility of human understanding and communication with the assistance of machines that can translate our various languages can ensure that "Thank you" in Chinese is not misunderstood as "Fish For You" in some other language and there are many. But, if there have been at least two world wars(maybe three arguably) since the theory of relativity; a theory that has helped to simplify mutual human existence and that has produced significant abundance the question is why. Is it that we struggle to enjoy the peace of mechanical abundance with our hands being more idle? Is it that change in human life is happening too fast for us to digest it emotionally, causing a global massive anger and resistance to the obvious and logical answers? Is it that humans and decision makers are struggling to communicate or agree on how change in human life and existence must take place? Ultimately, the history books have explained the reasons for these global conflicts(WW1, WW2 and WW3?) but the conflicts and the size of their devastation suggest global disagreement and probably disagreement about something very simple in an age of simplification of the application of technology since 1905. A theory about energy that helps to simplify life is also then followed by 2+ global conflicts such that it may be that humanity has an obvious answer to an issue but is in global disagreement(in global active or muted war) on its application and the disagreement seems to be suppressed but not resolved as evidenced by the frequency of such mass human conflict. Fundamental global technological simplification in the theory of relativity is some how followed by two massive global conflicts(arguably three such conflicts). In an age of technological simplification and its application, what have we failed to apply in our humanity so that such global conflicts would not occur? War is not a playful pass-time for idle hands but must be the summation of disagreement that is occasioned by a failure in our obvious human abilities to communicate and relate. It is called a theory of relativity for a good reason and our failure to apply it and bring change in life to resolve one of man's greatest needs on mass, that being energy, has led to mass conflict. A lack of agreement brings conflict. Conflict brings war. The source of such conflict is not disclosed by our love of shiny new machines that travel on four wheels with new gadgetry. The new machines we love demonstrate our love for the new and ingenious simplification of the application of technology and this is a global enterprise. The only question is how do we preserve the only environment in which we can enjoy such four wheeled machines in the long-term? The lack of agreement on that answer and the best source of energy to achieve that answer may help to explain the tremendous resources earned and spent and the tremendous loss of life occasioned in disagreement on simplification. The disagreement on human simplification as occasioned by the theory of relativity or the failure to apply the simple answer in the same manner as we agree on dvd formats, computer networking and mobile communication phone networks is war. Idle hands are the devil's workshop and when man has simplified his material existence with a theory, the best application for hands that are less utilized in such abundance and peace is prayer for the appropriate faith such that we will continue to do greater things with more vision and preserve the only environment in which such greater human ingenuity can be achieved. The only way to enter peace is with understanding. This requires education. In all your getting, get understanding (google it). The theory and the various related chemistry and physics theories are a big human and global kiss on the forehead but how do we enjoy it except but to accept its totality prayerfully and the demands on our souls for its application and practical utilization. Ultimately, everyone can decide whether they will be buying an oil, gas, electrical or wood burning home comfort system or for the family dinner(flame-broiled or electric grilled burgers at the global franchise). In some countries, you have a similar number of options and methods in which to fuel your vehicular transportation.

A man over 60 needs intimacy to stay youthful. But, nothing beats Psalms 92 for Intimacy. Psalms 101 is also really good. It really works. Some people do fear getting old but fail to see God as life and youth. However, an old man was told to hold his wife's hand briskly while sitting in front of two pealed, clean oranges, two undressed onions and big really ripe and pealed bananas; an ancient far eastern custom maybe. But, he could be just as intimate with his wife without sitting in front of pealed and undressed (every day market) garden fruits. Who needs to look at naked fruit?

A young man left a beautiful country that has a pass-time involving angles and two goals.   But there tends to be a myth about people who attend school in a certain country but nobody really knows the reason. The subject matter of most programs in international schools is the same in any country and the average temperature is the same in that other country as some west coast state with lots of fish, burgers, salt and vinegar and chips. They thought of starting a myth about fish and chips; should you eat them while you study but what would happen to the fish and chips simply because you decided to go to school in another country? Ultimately, the fish and chips will be there should you decide to go to school in such temperate environments and you will arrive and leave healthy should you decide to eat your fish and chips in moderation. There is no need to start myths and rumors about people who attend school where there are a lot of chip shops around. Get  on well and no one gains from such myths about eating fish and chips in temperate environments or attending school in such places. Have good habits, attend weekly worship service and do all things in moderation.  

A girl asked a certain man if he would love her.  He answered affirmatively but not because of her nice rendition of Mozart's Symphony in A and said "...yes!; so long as you are a nice girl without double standards or relational rules that are essentially abusive to men. Is that ok? " She put any other notion of relationships aside and said  "...yes!"

The only time that catastrophe or war is good for the civic health of a nation is when we play jenga on what is good for its health; that is in terms of what we love and adore in times of peace..

It was once said that "..war is good for the civic health of a nation."

I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome trouble, every social advance as a first step toward a need "...to start over", and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all.

No nation can be really great unless it is great in peace, in industry, integrity, honesty. Skilled intelligence in civic affairs and industrial enterprises alike; the special ability of the artist, the man of letters, the man of science, and the man of business; the rigid determination to wrong no man, and to stand for righteousness—all these are necessary in a great nation.

A man attends a service not unlike most synagogue services but they(the synagogue) do acknowledge Christ as the messiah and the new testament during the services. It is a messianic synagogue. His aunt who is a devout and ,steeped in the hymns, protestant thinks he left Christ and that only singing of modern gospel music makes you Christian in spite of the various forms of worship, including Christ-inspired, classical music that one can enjoy. Well, he helps her with her church publication and she recently wrote on Acts 2. To accept the messiah is not to leave the Judaic tradition but to acknowledge it. There are several church denominations where Christ is celebrated; just like messianic synagogues. But, no denomination could tolerate the spitting in the fridge that is celebrated by his aunt. she was upset that he chose Saturday worship as he used to go on Sunday but the bible says choose a day to keep it holy. Some synagogues actually meet on Sunday and she never knew. He still respects Sunday worship.
History has unfolded to ensure that the message would not be watered or saliva-ed down but communicated and transmitted above and beyond cultural walls of division. This is woven into every line of every social contract and, as such, people do live together and enjoy 1-800-pizzas without fear of being anything but a happy customer. Everybody is welcome and is well treated.

1st Corinthians 4-5.

E( emerging society) equals MC( Mass culture) squared.

E( emerging society) equals MC( Mass culture) squared. The magna carta and the ten commandments are a good result as preserved and celebrated by mass culture with the right inputs or content in the equation. This is a reference to and recognition for Einstein's decisive and foundational theory of relativity that helps to explain why “the energy of the rest mass of an object is equal to the rest mass times the speed of light squared” (E=MC2).

The 23 Year old duck. A 23 year old duck is likely to find a duck of the opposite gender quite interesting...

It is not unusual for a 23 year old duck to have feelings for a good young male football player in her school or her previous school. She may have had this experience during high school in the early years and it felt like nothing else may matter. But, by the time she was in the first year of university, she realized that she would have to get a job one day and feed a baby so she would have to do well in school. She may have realized this for the first time during high school but only as a subconscious thought. Hopefully the footballer would have realized this as well and if he did not, she would have had to tell him not to call her soo much while she focuses her energies and her studies on getting that job and feeding a baby some day; maybe with his help if he catches on and realizes that he could help to not only create the baby but will also need to feed the baby. They did not stay together, as is the case with most young couples who grow apart as attention spans, focus, life-callings and observations on the brevity of life diverge. She's 23 now and with a good young man who joined his country's militaristic student chess club quite early. Her parents helped her to refocus early enough when the boy was running at the hare's pace in what was evidently, without a doubt, quite natural. The time, will be right one day to run together. He eventually made Joseph, Mary's husband, his mentor in terms of character and faith when it comes to women; not Romeo.

Movie Of The Week: A Song From The Heart. Feed back on this movie indicates that it has encouraged church attendance and commitment and a new attitude on faithful relationships with individuals of the opposite gender.
