My Dad had season tickets...

Before my time and not in Vancouver,
but basically the same idea.

When I was very young and then a youth, my Dad had season tickets to the Vancouver Canucks, during part of the 1970's and 1980's. I viewed a few games where excessive violence and/or brawls broke out. 

My Dad also had season tickets to the Vancouver Blazers (WHA-World Hockey Association) during their brief existence. In one of the WHA games I remember a Blazer player tossing his broken stick into the crowd. 

I saw Bobby Hull play for the original Winnipeg Jets when I was very young.

As for the NHL-National Hockey League, notable violence took place in the penalty box when the Calgary Flames visited the Canucks one game. It seems to me that included a stick being thrown as well.

In fact, one brawl broke out in the seat beside us with a season ticket holder and a virtually challenged person in the standing section, just behind us. This man insisted on throwing popcorn at the season ticket holders, including innocent minor me. This took place when virtually everyone in the arena would stand up during play. After the virtually challenged  man had been punched in the head for throwing popcorn, by a person to my right, not my Dad, the virtually challenged man was hauled away by the flashy PNE (Pacific National Exhibition) security in red jackets.

He kept trying to swing his little arms to throw punches, as he was hauled away.

It seems to me a few years earlier, Mr. Blois had hot coffee spilled on his back as a fan stood during one of those games. 'My back'!

The Norwegian Benny Hill/Deputy Dawg tossed food when he sat with me in seats, the time he was invited. This troublemaker was never caught and thought the reaction of the victim/patron was very hilarious.

The program from the Bobby Hull game: eBay.

• I am pleased with the finalized version of my Mom's memorial page. With the COVID-19 pandemic, Mom's friends and relatives are too far away and having to quarantine if they visit British Columbia; this memorial page will serve as an online legacy.

• In regards to racism, I have noted that within my Reformed, Christian worldview from the English Standard Version (ESV):

• Galatians 3: 28: English Standard Version 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 

Thank you, Miss CIA: Facebook

• 1 Corinthians 12: 12-13 English Standard Version 12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves[d] or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit. d 1 Corinthians 12:13 For the contextual rendering of the Greek word doulos, see Preface (Of the ESV)

• I do not live in America, I live in British Columbia, Canada. I am not part of American culture, to be clear. But, my take is that most biblical Christians on this planet will understand and embrace that humanity all originate from Adam and Eve (Genesis 1-3) and Noah and family (Genesis 6-9). There is an equality in the gospel and in the New Testament for humanity. Racism in contrary to gospel theology.

• However, many biblical Christians and conservative and libertarian types, intellectually are not interested in being told, lectured or influenced through liberal, social, political correctness, in how to respond to the great evil of racism. Like myself, his/her intellectual influences are not primarily celebrities, athletes and politicians. Like myself, these influences could and/or would be biblical and academic. To be clear, law and order should be followed and this means respect for all within humanity by all within humanity.

• I came across this website and link while researching Noah and the flood.

Conclusions

If the 3.4-meter–thick layer of flood deposits in southeastern Mesopotamia (MacDonald 1988) represents a huge flood of ancient times, and if it is the remnants of the one described in the early Babylonian epics, then the authors of these epics were likely survivors who lived in a village on natural levees on the lower parts of either the Euphrates or Tigris Rivers where the flood waters covered their village, natural levees, and adjacent flood plains for distances of 160 to 320 kilometers so that no land could be seen, and their "whole world" would have been under water.

• I am not a scientist or flood expert, but I thought this approach above was far more academically open-minded than a couple of other online sources I came across today researching.

Thursday, December 13, 2018: Very brief on the Genesis flood 

• I was aware in bible school that other creation and flood accounts were (are) extant. Creation, and the human response to it over time, and the flood occurrences would not only be Hebrew Bible events, but would be world events. As the Hebrew Bible is proclaimed as divinely revelatory, these other accounts, whether older or newer than the Hebrew Bible manuscripts, would tell these stories from a different worldview perspective. Rather than making the Hebrew Bible a 'rip-off' of older versions of world events, and therefore just different mythology, the Hebrew Bible versions serve as legitimate religious history with God that revealed self in several texts. Within the New Testament, the centrepiece of historical, documented, revelation is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Gary Habermas has excellent resources on the historical resurrection.

This new friend of mine was briefly in our parking garage, and then settled near me long enough that I was able to take three photos. 

I suppose, biblically, with a new creation (Revelation 20-22), wild animal-human contact would be much more typical. In whatever ways the human fall (Genesis 1-3. Romans 8) impacted the animal world, the results would be reversed. 

Romans 8: 19-23

19 For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, [a]in hope 21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. 23 And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body. a. Romans 8:20 Or in hope; because the creation.

Cranfield suggests that the Apostle Paul here in verse 19, is explaining 'the whole-splendid theatre of the universe and all the manifold sub-human life within it as eagerly awaiting the revelation of the sons of God.' Cranfield (1992: 195). Humanity are the sons of God, in the context of regenerated, believing Christians having the atoning and resurrection work of Jesus Christ applied to them, which includes the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ (Romans, Galatians). In the atonement, which is multifaceted, believers are justified and sanctified. In the future resurrection, believers are restored to physical, finite, sinless, perfection. (1 Corinthians 15, 1 Thessalonians 4).

Bruce explains in regards to verse 22 ...'it carries with it the hope of new life for all creation.' Bruce (1987: 164). 

Mounce is his Romans commentary opines in regards to verse 20-21 that 'As sin brought the curse of death to the physical universe, the day is coming when a new heaven and earth will be in place (2 Peter 3: 13; Revelation 21: 1).' Mounce (1995: 185).

From Orthodoxy: In regards to verse 22, 'the transformation of all creation to be eternally in harmony with God's sovereign rule.' (The Orthodox Study Bible: 357).
