2Every year Christians celebrate Jesus’ resurrection from the dead. His cruel death by crucifixion took place at the same time as the Jewish holy celebration of Passover. What they had been symbolizing for over one thousand years with the killing of sacrificial lambs and the Passover supper was now happening to the Lamb of God. On the very evening and at the very hour that people throughout the land were … Continue reading →
From March 16th to the 19th I traveled to and around the Kanto area of central Honshu in 15 vehicles, a distance of 698 kilometers. “Kanto” literally means “Eastern Barrier” of which Tokyo is the center. Osaka is the center of “Kansai” which means “Western Barrier.” There are historical reasons for these names. You historians can correct me if I’m wrong, but if I remember correctly, only those with permission … Continue reading →
John Lennox is an Irish mathematician and philosopher of science who is Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford. He’s also a Bible believing Christian. I really enjoyed and appreciated his debate with famous atheist Richard Dawkins, author of The God Delusion. In that book Dawkins questions whether Jesus actually existed as an historical figure. In this debate he concedes that Jesus did exist. Download a PDF file of … Continue reading →
On February 22nd, I hitchhiked from Niigata to Osaka, the first all day hitchhiking trip this year. My destination of Osaka is 600 kilometers from home. I wanted to get a good start and arrive early, so I took a train and a highway bus to take me as far as Ozumi Parking area on the Hokuriku Expressway. It was snowing and just above freezing. I wished I could have … Continue reading →

13A cyberspace friend introduced me to Greg Szymanski and his Arctic Beacon website. I remember listening to one of his radio shows before. In order for me to trust what a researcher has to say, I need to know who that person is. I can tell you for sure who Greg Szymanski is not. He is not a Bible believing born again Christian. Greg, how can you expect me and … Continue reading →
Have you ever received an email from anyone offering you millions of dollars if you would only contact them and work out the details of the transaction? I sure have, scores of times! Here’s what came in just today: Are you alive or dead? The reason for this question is that we received an email from Mr. John Green. He said that you are dead and you have given him … Continue reading →

11Yes, there is no word “trinity” found anywhere in the Bible. Instead the word, “Godhead” is used in the King James Version and a few other versions. It’s interesting that the word “Godhead” appears 3 times in the KJV! Significant, don’t you think? Acts 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, … Continue reading →
Following instructions from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum I used yum to update from Fedora 17 to 18 su -c ‘yum update yum’ su -c ‘yum clean all’ su -c ‘yum –releasever=18 –disableplugin=presto distro-sync’ su -c ‘rpm –rebuilddb’ But afterward my LDXE Desktop was slower to start and displayed an error message: Error initializing authority: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Moreover, the shutdown menu showed only Logout and Cancel.

47I’m very concerned about the attitudes and mindsets of some of my friends who regularly listen to radio talk show host Alex Jones. I used to like Alex Jones, and once greatly admired his courage for crashing the Bohemian Grove during one of its annual get-togethers of the elite. I thought he was great for filming the “Cremation of Care” ceremony. Now I think it all have may been a … Continue reading →
On January 5th and the 16th, I transformed 2 messed up Windows XP PCs into fast and stable Linux machines. On the first one, I installed Fedora 16, and the second, the latest Linus Mint 14 “Nadia.” In both cases I backed up the friend’s documents to another media, installed Linux, and restored all the documents and Desktop files to the newly created home user partition. A local friend’s Windows … Continue reading →
The chart shows the distance travelled by hitch hiking in Japan from 2005 to 2012. The final trip of the year was to Tokyo on December 26, an unusually cold day with icy streets. It took twice as long as normal to get to the Sakae Parking area on the Hokuriku Expressway, and 3 hours to catch the next ride! I was about to quit when an elementary school teacher … Continue reading →

82Dr. Kent Hovind, also known as Dr. Dino, man a who was unjustly put in prison for a sentence of 10 years, is one of my heroes. Once I heard him saying something like, “Jesus can come any minute.” Today I was pleasantly surprised to read on his blog the following: My long time friend and Pastor, Steve Anderson and THOUSANDS of others (myself included) have come to realize that … Continue reading →

4Well, I’m back again to my beloved Fedora Linux. Fedora 18 Beta was not easy to install but is working fine after a few hours of tweaking. I started with LXDE as my default desktop environment. LXDE is lacking in some graphic configuration settings, but after logging into Gnome 3 I was able to configure things I could not configure in LXDE. A few days later I installed KDE and … Continue reading →
The Capitol facing the Washington Monument, an obelisk “The best place to hide something is out in the open. Nobody ever thinks to look there.” — Robert Anton Wilson Did you know that “Capitol” was the name of Jupiter’s temple in Rome? Did you know that word “obelisk” literally means “Baal’s Shaft” or Baal’s organ of reproduction. Baal of course is referring to Satan, the Devil. Did you also know … Continue reading →

4The answer is NO! Not according to the 1611 King James version of the English Bible! Genesis 22:2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. The KJV says only to “offer” Isaac as a sacrifice, not … Continue reading →
Today was cloudy when I started out on my journey to Aomori city, 470 kilometers from home. I wore for the first time this season a warm overcoat. I heard it had been snowing in Aomori, the northernmost prefecture of Honshu. At 8:05 a.m. after walking 25 minutes on Route 345 from Majime station, the first car of the day stopped for me. It was again Mr. Toki, a cook … Continue reading →
