The kinds of Bible Teaching

In only the context of preparation, there are two kinds of Bible teacher/leader/host/whatever they call it these days in the fellowship/Bible Study/Sunday School/etc.:

1. Those who focus on preparation of teaching.

2. Those who focus on pedagogy, already prepared for life.

And no, I'm not referring to time management.

The two types can easily be discerned. Just like the way we can tell if a mother baked her cake with love or not.

The Blind Spot against Obama Liberalism

So much focus on Obama's new definition on marriage, but no care given to his broken family background.

How could we attack heretics without sensitivity to their root? Which could very well be the chief cause of our perplexity.

Anyone who laughs only laughs at themselves.

This is called the singular they in grammar.

The LGBT Acronym

LGBTTQQIIAA, etc. Queer, Curious, Unsure, Questioning, Asexual, Intersex, Allies, etc.

Those variants are acronyms for the original homosexual activists (LGBT) seeking more allies for their cause.

It is clear that many of these additional groups do not need to identify or associate themselves with the LGBT.

The City College CUNY Class: ASTR 30500 Methods in Astronomy

Centripedal force is not to be confused with centrifugal force.

Orbital decay caused by all kinds of factors. Professor mentioned Einstein's explanation of such by orbital direction change: Orbital Precession. However, I'm unclear as to if this is the cause of the decay, or that they share the same cause.

Side note:
Retrograde orbit: orbiting in opposite direction. As opposed to synchronous orbit.

I still suspect inverse square laws have to do with area of sphere.

Question: How did Kiefer convert G constant to a different unit? (6.67 x 10-11 N m^2/kg^2  or  3.31 x 10-11 ft^2/ lb)

Chocolate Chip Cookie Milk Shots

Chocolate Chip Cookie Milk 'Shots' Arrive Friday Afternoon.

Smorgasburg's Ramen Burger was something of a kind. I wouldn't be too enthusiastic about it (I think it's the lack of the broth), but the indoor flea market was a hidden paradise, somewhat like when I first discovered Chelsea Market.

A Willingness to be Reproved - Psalms 141:5

Psa 141:5  Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.

Psa 141:5  任凭义人击打我,这算为仁慈;任凭他责备我,这算为头上的膏油;我的头不要躲闪。正在他们行恶的时候,我仍要祈祷。
