Well, this might prevent some hassles

Chopping that firewood-A pro tip required? (Smile)

December 31 (to January 1)

My Dad (star tenant) that lives downstairs, told me he heard an alarm go off and smelled some smoke. I may have smelled smoke, not sure. He said that earlier in the day he had seen new owners move into the condo complex, and that they were cutting firewood and brought the firewood inside to their unit.

All the units have gas fireplaces, the venting system will not work for burning firewood that requires the right type of chimney.

I always thought that permanent (ontologically, virtually immortal) artificial log in our gas fireplace made wood logs unnecessary. But, I am no fireplace expert.

Local friends: If I ever need to stay at your place for a night. You will know why I am temporarily homeless.

New Year 2022: Short Bullets

• When some people mention my recent weight loss, it is much appreciated. 

• When I mention I exercise, I deduce some people assume fitness is a new thing for me. 

• No, I have been working out since I was four years old, as my older brother would take me to Cedar Drive Elementary in Port Coquitlam to play ball hockey with the older boys.

• The photo is one of my newer workout tools.

• Carbon fibre knuckles (Punisher), which are I have read, five times stronger than the infamous brass knuckles.

• I bought these carbon fibre knuckles, legally at the Silverdale, Mission, Shell Station. 

• Yes, a gas station...that sells a lot of goodies, besides cheaper gas.

• This tool is used up in my loft only, as part of my martial arts, and martial arts weapons workout. 

• I use the Punisher in conjunction with knife defence techniques.

• I have added the weapons aspect to my martial arts training since 2001.

Bullets: In the dog house?

• Video 1: Please pardon the bit of sexual crudeness, contrary to a Christian worldview, the video does not need it. 

• The video is from a secular, evolutionary, perspective, but in general, the video reasonably explains why there are many single men in the western world, at present. 

• It also reasonably explains that much male depression in the western world, connects to this issue. 

• Video 2: I agree with the comments in that (paraphrased) a man should live in his own life as opposed to chasing women.

• But based on the views presented in video 1, being a successful man is no guarantee of a future romantic relationship.

• It is social success which is key, not necessarily all types of success.

• In my humble opinion, there is no sure way to have a woman, or women, chase you as a man.

• A biblical Christian perspective, I hold to, is to seek a wife (1 Corinthians 7) to avoid lust.

• 1 Corinthians 7: 8-9, New American Standard Bible (NASB) 8 But I say to the unmarried and to widows that it is good for them if they remain even as I. 9 But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion.\

• But more importantly, is the issue of being equally connected with believers (2 Corinthians 6) .

• Theologically, I would state that biblical marriage should have mutual, spiritual, intellectual and physical attraction within God's perfect will.

• 2 Corinthians 6: 14-15 New American Standard Bible (NASB)14 Do not be [g]mismatched with unbelievers; for what do righteousness and lawlessness share together, or what does light have in common with darkness? 15 Or what harmony does Christ have with [h]Belial, or [i]what does a believer share with an unbeliever? 16 Or what agreement does [j]the temple of God have with idols? For we are [k]the temple of the living God; just as God said, 

• g 2 Corinthians 6:14 Lit unevenly yoked 

• h 2 Corinthians 6:15 Gr Beliar; a name of the devil and the antichrist 

• i 2 Corinthians 6:15 Lit what part has a believer with an unbeliever 

• j 2 Corinthians 6:16 Or a temple 

• k 2 Corinthians 6:16 Or a temple

• Sunday, December 12, 2021: Stating all you need is Jesus, is not the same as stating, all that you need is in Jesus Christ 

• Philosophically and theologically, stating all you need is Jesus, is not the same as stating, all that you need is in Jesus Christ. 

• If all you need is God/Jesus works as advice for people with a desire unfulfilled, a need unsatisfied, why does it not suffice for the people that have a desire fulfilled and need satisficed?
