Hmm, not very scientific or New Testament...

However theologically, there is regeneration:

Website search: regeneration 

John Murray (1937-1966)(1977) explains that the Holy Spirit ‘summons men into union and fellowship with his Son so that, united to him in whom all spiritual blessings are treasured, they come to possess Christ and all that belongs to him in his capacity as Saviour and Redeemer.’[1] Regeneration[2] takes place which is a powerful change in the human being via the Holy Spirit,[3] which transforms one corrupt and in sin in opposition to God,[4] to one pleasing to God and trusting in God.

Came home from work, it soon smelled like burning wires...

Came home from work, it soon smelled like burning wires... 

Shortly there was smoke coming from the microwave (most likely). It will be replaced, tomorrow. Everything else close to that appliance is fine.

Then as it happens, I received the image on Facebook from Mr. James Lee.

I just emailed the CEO of FedEx

Subject line:

Any chance my parcel, sitting in the back of your truck for days, can be delivered N1022??? 

Dear Sir.. 

Many thanks for reading... 

This email with your (alternating reps) rep. explains...

FedEx NYC to Maple Ridge, BC.. #53********* 

Hi Mark 

Cheers

This can be solved tomorrow if you or someone make it happen. Don't pass the buck. I am helping you out here...Being of reason. 

I have two FedEx cards from my mail box. FedEx has had two opportunities already to simply walk upstairs and leave the parcel at my door. I cannot buzz FedEx in from work, stated several times (security issues for the context of this article).

You got in twice and blew it. You can also drop it off at Staples and let me know.

I paid the duty the first day FedEx refused to drop it off. 

The card said the parcel would be available the next day at Staples. NOT. 

Your rep. on the phone said it would be delivered the next day. NOT. 

The next day on the phone, another FedEx rep. said it would arrive the next day. NOT. 

Several text messages have promised that day or next delivery. NOT. 

You need to step up and make it happen. Talk to someone for a N1022 delivery. No next week delay. Not meeting promises! 

I will be reporting this to your superiors tonite. I have already filed a documented consumer complaint. Thx     

Name & Address was given

Brief philosophy for consideration: With major disagreement, the answer is always 'No'

Brief philosophy for consideration: With major disagreement, the answer was always 'no'

Photo: Washington-DC-hero-History: One of the places I managed to visit as a teenager, through my parent's Amway business.

As a teenager my parents were in Amway. I happened to listen to hours of motivational tapes while in the car. Richard DeVos was co-founder of Amway with Jay Van Andel. One of the Amway tapes featured...

(Paraphrased) Devos: If Jay and I ever have a major disagreement, business wise, the answer is always 'No' to proceed.

In other words, with confusion and lack of clarity, where applicable, do not proceed. I should have followed this with an online business venture or two that 'The Boss' was pressuring me to do, during the completion of my PhD. (Well, it was her money, but still)
