I needed to travel from Niigata to Aomori city for important business the following day. If I hitchhike, I like to give myself two days to be on the safe side to be on time for such matters. Aomori city is 470 kilometers from home and mostly by regular highway. I often can only get as far as Akita city – a little over half way – where I spend … Continue reading →

I traveled on a rainy day in 6 cars some 250 kilometers from Niigata to Sendai, the largest city in the Tohoku area. It was ALL on normal highway! Usually I try to catch cars that are going on the expressway, but I learned from experience that it’s not easy to do … Continue reading →

1A friend in America sent me an excellent article exposing the New Age Movement. Dangerous false teachings abound in the world today, and I think many of God’s children have been influenced by them unwittingly. The article talks about Reiki, something a Japanese Christian friend tried to get me sold on. I never quite bought it. First paragraph of article: Witches, Masons, Rosicrucians, Cabalists and other leading practitioners of the … Continue reading →

He said his dream was to become an F-10 jet fighter pilot but couldn’t because he would have … Continue reading →

My goal was to hitchhike as much a possible the 330 kilometers back home to Niigata.

3I get numerous emails about articles on my websites, especially the Deep Truths site, the one I worked the hardest on since year 2004. Rather than type up the same reply each time for this particular subject of Evolution verses Creation, I thought to document a typical email and my reply to it on this site. Hopefully it’ll save me time in the future.:-) Hello I read you website article … Continue reading →

She took me to the Sanjo-Tsubame interchange of the Hokuriku expressway. From there I took a 180 … Continue reading →
