Mumbai Versova Beach Clean Up

The work started by Afroz Shah was impressive, despite his giving up due to hecklers. To clean up a fully garbage infested beach to a point that turtles come to lay eggs, where hatchlings are seen crawling over the sands, is amazing and speaks volume.

It also shows administrative stupidity is possible against such wonderful effort.

Asian Squat

It appears to be of a thing. That Most Westerners can't squat like Asians.

Looks like not much study is done on this. But given that all children could do it, it may have to do with leg muscle flexibility over time.

Looking back at my recent schedule, I figure that I'm not vigorous enough. I could have accomplished much much more.

Sermon: John 8:12-59

Final day of The Feast of Tabernacle (sukkot): in the court of women, 4 stands, each holding 4 golden bowls that lit during the feast. Multiple symbols from exodus to harvest. Jesus is the light.

Francis Crick, one discoverer of DNA: dna maybe planted by aliens. Such is the explaination by denial of God.

V14, testimony requires two. But here, the Lord his divinity.

V33, Funny: they were slaves to Egypt, Babylon, now Rome. This shows how justified/in denial they feel after the special rights they've gained from Rome pertaining to monotheism.

Jesus said to Jean-Jacques Rousseau, you are wrong, free men are not enslaved by society. In contrast, at Redeemer, they would shy from such criticism but they wouldn't hesitate to praise some of Rousseau's quotes.

Pastor was introduced to Van Til in person in his late years.

Tabernacle, only feast in NT NOT fulfilled. By you now, as light of the world.
