4 Important Travel Destinations for the Beat Generation
Posted by David S. Wills | Dec 12, 2017 | Essays | 0 |
The Beats were, in many ways, an international literary movement. Although in defining the Beat Generation, we tend to look at a core of three writers, expanding out to include others like Gregory Corso and "second generation Beats" like Diane di Prima, and they are all American. Sure, there were British artists inspired by the Beats, and India's Hungry Generation, and all across the world youths writing poetry like Ginsberg… but in the end, the Beat Generation was an American movement. Only it wasn't purely American: it was a bunch of Americans inspired by the outside world.
The Beats looked out from Post-War America at a big wide world and they took influence from it and sought refuge in it. Although the Beat Generation eventually spread their own gospel to the world, with kids reading Kerouac even as far away as China, initially it was the world that inspired these young writers. From Europe the Romantic poets and Renaissance artists provided inspiration, and from Asia came ancient and mysterious wisdom. Eventually, when curiosity drove the Beats to explore, they looked back upon their homeland with eyes now fully open. It gave them a valuable new perspective on America. For more on this topic, see John Tytell's Beat Transnationalism.
Allen Ginsberg was by far the best-travelled of the Beats, visiting more than sixty countries, yet he was not the first to take off for parts unknown. In fact, his later world wanderings were heavily influenced by his older friends. William S. Burroughs and Lawrence Ferlinghetti had seen much of the world a decade both Allen ever set off. Somehow, Jack Kerouac became the symbol for youthful wanderlust, although his journeys were never as extensive as the others, and in fact he often got homesick. Gregory Corso, Alan Ansen, Ted Joans, Amiri Baraka, Joanne Kyger… for all of them, travel was incredibly significant.
Let's take a look at some important travel destinations for the Beat Generation:
Tangier, now a part of Morocco, was once an international zone governed by various nations. It was a place where laws existed but weren't enforced very strictly. You could buy drugs easily, as well as prostitutes. Young male prostitutes were in particular abundance, making it a haven for gay writers like William S. Burroughs. Paul Bowles had been living there long before the Beats ever set their eyes on the city, and acted as a sort of father-figure to the younger writers who passed through. Allen Ginsberg spent time in Tangier in 1957 and 1961, and returned for a final, nostalgic trip in 1991. The first two visits were longer stays to visit Burroughs, who had chosen Tangier as his home for much of the fifties. Jack Kerouac also stopped by for a visit, helping Burroughs piece together the chaotic manuscript that eventually became Naked Lunch. Other Beat writers who visited Tangier were Corso, Ferlinghetti, Peter Orlovsky, Philip Lamantia, John Giorno, and Ted Joans.
Although many of the Beat writers visited Tangier, it was only really of significance in the writing of William S. Burroughs. It was Mexico that was the truly important Beat destination. For a start, its proximity to the United States made travel there rather easy. One could just hop a bus or drive a car over the border and explore the country to the south. Yet getting to Tangier required a long boat journey across the Atlantic Ocean. Ginsberg once told John Tytell "that [he] would never fully understand the members of [Ginsberg's] generation until [he] first experienced Mexico." It was in Mexico that Ginsberg developed the poetic voice necessary to write "Howl". It was Mexico where Kerouac wrote Mexico City Blues and where Burroughs shot Joan and then turned to writing as a form of recovery. Just about every Beat and post-Beat writer made some sort of trip south of the border, taking advantage of Mexico's plentiful supplies of drugs, tequila, and prostitutes, as well as, of course, drinking in the scenery, the culture, and the history. Ginsberg in particular was enamored of the ancient ruins he found there, and spent months pretending to be an archaeologist.
In the 1960s, travelling to India became a sort of hippie rite of passage. The Beatles did it; even Steve Jobs did it. Yet in 1965, at the tail end of a massive, multi-year world tour, Allen Ginsberg and Peter Orlovsky trekked through the vast subcontinent. For Allen, this was probably the most important time in his life, and he was never the same afterwards. On his way home (a trip that took him through Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Japan, and Canada) he wrote a poem called "The Change" that expressed just how important his Indian experience had been. The bearded, bead-wearing, peace-and-love Allen of the sixties, who was seen chanting OMMMM at peace rallies was born in India that year, after countless meetings with holy men… including even the Dalai Lama. But it was not just Ginsberg. Orlovsky was there with him, and they travelled for a few months with Gary Snyder and Joanne Kyger. Anne Waldman visited later, too.
The capital of France is better associated with the Lost Generation than the Beat Generation, yet its literary allure proved too much for the Beats to resist, and it was visited by pretty much all the Beat writers. Most famously, the Beat Hotel was home to Burroughs, Ginsberg, Corso, and others. There was also the Mistral Bookshop, owned by George Whitman, where writers with nowhere to stay and no money to eat could sleep over for free. Most of the visiting Beats took advantage of Whitman's hospitality at some point. Burroughs wrote and published some of his greatest work in Paris, and Ginsberg began writing "Kaddish" here. Corso spent longer in Paris than any other Beat writer, and Ferlinghetti probably visited earliest, while Kerouac visited just twice. Many other important Beat-affiliated writers and publishers lived or worked in Paris at some point, including Brion Gysin, Maurice Girodias, Carl Solomon, and Harold Norse.

When the population pushed north in the 1920s local commissioners approved a field house for the lakefront at Waveland. Field houses were popular on the south side, because they could accommodate the growing popularity of outdoor sports.
When local resident Annie Woolford died in 1927 she left $50,000 to construct a carillon tower that she had seen as a child in Massachusetts. The tower was added to the field house. The Chicago-based J. C. Deagan installed the tubular bell chimes that no longer ring, but still work. The small clocks which are about the size of a hand run the huge hands of the clocks.
The plaque below the totem pole reads: Kwanusila the Thunderbird, is an authentic Kwagu'ł totem pole, carved in Red Cedar by Tony Hunt of Fort Rupert, British Columbia. The crests carved upon the totem pole represent Kwanusila the Thunderbird, a whale with a man on its back, and a sea monster.
Many people do not realize that totem poles were only regionally used by First Nations along the coastal areas of British Columbia. Kwanusila is an exact replica of the original Kraft Lincoln Park totem pole, which was donated to the City of Chicago by James L. Kraft on June 20, 1929, and which stood on the spot until October 9, 1985. It was discovered some years before the pole was moved, that a pole of this type did not exist in the types at the Provincial British Columbia Museum located in Victoria, B.C., Canada.
Arrangements were made for a duplicate of the Chicago original to be made by the same Amerindian tribe that made the original. A request was made and approved by the Chicago Park District for the original totem pole which existed here to be presented back to British Columbia. Kwanusila is dedicated to the school children of Chicago, and was presented to the City of Chicago by Kraft, Inc. on May 21, 1986.

Ssangyong – the company who's trying to come up with a lot of new models in the next few years to get a bigger slice of the market share, partnered with Shanghai Automotive Industries Group and showcased their newest compact SUV, dubbed C200, at the Paris Motor Show a few days ago. The design was done by Giugiaro because his ItalDesign styling house is in charge with the looks of the new models to be built.
"The car is very, very important for us as it's the first demonstration of the new strategy that was announced at Geneva," says SsangYong UK managing director Paul Williams.
I really like the way it came out. Looks big and aggressive.

Third horse dies at Del Mar during training exercise
A third horse died at Del Mar during a training exercise Monday morning.

DEL MAR, Calif. — A third horse died at Del Mar during a training exercise Monday morning, according to the California Horse Racing Board.
Bowl of Soul, a three-year-old filly trained by Bob Baffert and owned by Spendthrift Farm, sustained an injury to her right hind fetlock while training Monday morning, July 29, at Del Mar, necessitating euthanasia that same morning, according to Mike Marten with the California Horse Racing Board.

RELATED: Del Mar racetrack addresses horse fatalities saying 2 deaths were an accident
Nearly two weeks ago, two horses died at the Del Mar Fairgrounds race track after colliding during a training session.
The two horses, three-year-old Carson Valley and two-year-old Charge A Bunch, collided after Charge A Bunch unseated jockey Geovanni Franco, then turned sharply and ran in the wrong direction before colliding with Carson Valley, who was training alongside two other horses, and completing a workout for jockey Assael Espinoza
RELATED: Del Mar Thoroughbred Club says safety a top priority as racing season kicks off
The horse deaths come at a time when the public is now paying a closer attention to horse racing after the deaths at racetracks – including the devastating winter season that left dozens of horses dead at Santa Anita.
Del Mar Thoroughbred Club Statement:
"In conjunction with the state of California, Del Mar has instituted reforms and implemented policies to create the safest environment possible for racing and training on its grounds. These policies have resulted in the track being recognized as among the safest in the country."
The statement below is from PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo:
"Del Mar needs to come clean on the deaths of horses as soon as they occur. Whistleblowers alerted PETA to the death of the 3-year-old filly Bowl of Soul. The days when victims of racing were merely statistics within the industry are over. Excuses for fatal injuries such as "twisted ankles" and "freak accidents" must be dropped along with the veil of secrecy. Bowl of Soul's death must be thoroughly investigated, and the results—including medication and workout records—must be released publicly so that bettors and others know what's what. Anything less is a cover-up and can't be tolerated."

Q: How to create or correctly import BackEndProxyStub project from ChatterBox VoIP sample to another solution (WP8) I'm trying to develop a VoIP application based on ChatterBox VoIP sample and VoIP apps for Windows Phone 8.
I understand how projects Agents, BackEnd and UI work, but I cannot understand BackEndProxyStub.
I read the following description:

This is an out-of-process server written in C that enables
  communication between the foreground app and the background process.

But found no other documentation that explains in more detail.
I'm trying to edit the "ChatterBox VoIP sample app" (to integrate with another BackEnd and UI), so I wanted to know how to create or import BackEndProxyStub and edit correctly for my solution.
I tried to import, but when I rebuild my solution, appears 2 unresolved externals:

Error 2   error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
  _PhoneVoIPApp2EBackEnd_ProxyFileInfo  D:\Workspace\C# and C++\BackEndProxyStub\dlldata.obj    BackEndProxyStub
Error 3   error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol
  _PhoneVoIPApp2EBackEnd2EOutOfProcess_ProxyFileInfo    D:\Workspace\C# and C++\BackEndProxyStub\dlldata.obj    BackEndProxyStub

And when I tried to rename the files to my project name (even with the warning "DO NOT ALTER THIS FILE"), I got the same errors (differing only by name).
I would appreciate if someone could explain me how to properly handle "BackEndProxyStub" project.
If I missed something that could help, please tell me.

A: Seems like we're having the same problem. At the moment I can't help much because I just started as well; but I think the BackEndProxyStub is compiler-generated (refer to here). This might be a good start as well (refer to the comment for the question).
Based on that currently I'm studying COM starting from here, hoping one day can fully understand the chatterbox example.
Hope that helps.

A: The files in BackEndProxyStub project was generated by the BackEnd project. It used the MIDL(Microsoft Interface Definition Language).
This can be prove in the BackEnd Project's project file(BackEnd.vcxproj). The "CustomBuildStep" node in this file showed the clue:
<CustomBuildStep>
  <Command Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|ARM'">pushd "$(OutDir)"WinMdIdl.exe "$(OutDir)$(RootNamespace).winmd"
    MIdl.exe /env $(MidlEnv) /winrt /ns_prefix /metadata_dir "$(FrameworkSdkDir)Windows Metadata" /out "$(SolutionDir)$(ProjectName)ProxyStub" "$(OutDir)$(RootNamespace).idl"
    MIdl.exe /env $(MidlEnv) /winrt /ns_prefix /metadata_dir "$(FrameworkSdkDir)Windows Metadata" /out "$(SolutionDir)$(ProjectName)ProxyStub" "$(OutDir)$(RootNamespace).OutOfProcess.idl"
    "$(ProjectDir)OopServerRegistrationHelper.exe" /winmd:"$(OutDir)$(RootNamespace).winmd" /dll_name:$(TargetName) /namespace:$(RootNamespace).OutOfProcess
    /app_manifest:"$(SolutionDir)UI\Properties\WMAppManifest.xml" /helper_dir:"$(SolutionDir)Agents" popd
  </Command></CustomBuildStep> .......

It also can be founded in Visual Studio:

Here is documents of the MIDL. I think you can use the MIDL to generate your own BackEndProxyHub Project. Good luck.

During our research we realized the complexity of waste disposal and found out that globalisation and waste are closely connected. Evaluating the large number of global waste transports, it becomes even clearer that waste is a global matter that involves and needs international cooperation.
The majority of waste that we did researched on leaves its country of origin and gets recycled, reprocessed, reused or disposed of permanently in other countries. Afterwards only parts of it are returned to the country where it originated from.
Unfortunately, large quantities of waste are exported and disposed of illegally or through legal grey zones, because companies want to save money. This often means that environmental protection policies and workplace safety standards are not met. Furthermore, this behaviour is even supported by governments like the US.
If waste is not recycled properly, it can do serious harm to humans in direct and indirect ways. It can injure the workers who are exposed to it at their workplace and harm humans if it gets into the food chain.
Old products could be recycled at a rate of almost 100% and companies could rely on those arisen resources to make new products.
Less waste would be generated that could be exported to third world countries (on legal or illegal ways). Affected countries would not have to deal with the waste they have not even produced.
To further reduce global waste production it is necessary to increase funding of scientific research and development of new technologies and techniques for both, production and recycling. Also, alternative approaches like developing products that decompose themselves at the end of their life cycle have to be supported.
All these facts taken into account, we decided that waste takes a great share in a global context.


For a while now, the passenger-side headlight on our van has been covered with a hazy film. We had tried scrubbing it with various cleaners we had around the house, but could never get it to clear up. Susan picked up a cleaning kit, and last weekend I finally had a chance to give it a try.
The kit is the 3M Lens Renewal System. Our kit came with masking tape (to protect the areas around the headlight), a disk attachment, two different grits of sandpaper, a gray buffing disk, an orange buffing sponge, and lens polish compound.
Finally, I used the orange buffing sponge with a little of the lens polishing compound to finish things off. The final result looks pretty good!
I only head to clean up one of our headlights, but the kit came with enough supplies to work on (at a guess) four lights, if needed.

Q: Exception in constructor and memory leaks I have a class that allocates memory and can throw an exception in constructor, e.g.:
class A
{
    int *x;
public:
    A () { x = new int; throw 0;}
    ~A () { delete x; }
};

I want to create objects of such class dynamically. How should I do it to prevent memory leaks?
I've tried to do create objects in a try block and delete in a catch block, but address-sanitizer have reported SEGV on unknown address.
int main()
{
    A *a;
    try { a = new A; }
    catch(int) { delete a; } // AddressSanitizer: SEGV on unknown address
}

Without deletion of the object we have (obviously) a memory leak and leak-sanitizer reports that.
int main()
{
    A *a;
    try { a = new A; }
    catch(int) {} // LeakSanitizer: detected memory leaks
}

However without try - catch both sanitizers are silent. I am wondering is there still a memory leak and, and if so, how to fix it?
int main()
{
    A *a;
    a = new A; // terminate called after throwing an instance of 'int'
}

UPD: Yes, I know about shared pointers. My question is mostly about the last case (without handling an exception). Why are sanitizers silent? Is it just leak-sanitizer flow or is there really no leak?

A: The following part of the code is invalid:

int main()
{
    A *a;
    try { a = new A; }
    catch(int) { delete a; } // AddressSanitizer: SEGV on unknown address
}

If exception is thrown while running new A, then anything A has manage to construct, before the exception, is destructed. Also, the memory of a is freed automatically.
In the above case, when an exception is thrown, the pointer a is not even assigned once and is left uninitialized.
The safest way around your leak is to use std::unique_ptr.
class A
{
    std::unique_ptr<int> x;
public:
    A (): x(std::make_unique<int>()} { throw 0;}
    A(A&&) = default;
    A& operator=(A&&) = default;
    A(const A &); // do something smart here
    A& operator=(const A &); // do something smart here
    ~A () { }
};

With a unique_ptr anything constructed before the exception will be freed automatically.

Last week we spent an enjoyable, I hope, Sunday chasing one idea through the Bible. The Glorious idea of seeing with our own eyes God in His Glory, in His Son.
A day we long for. We shall behold Him. Face to face, in all of His glory. I told you to go home and listen to Sandy Patti sing that.
We long for that day, because this flesh will be changed. Sin and decay will be gone. Our hearts will be perfected.
No other religion has at it's center a person who is God. Who has in Himself the Glory of the creator.
Mohammed was evil. He hacked people to pieces. He couldn't control his sexual urges besides his many wives. He offers no solution to the problem of sin. He died and is gone.
Buddha, pretty much the same. More confused.
Joseph Smith, a little less bloody than Mohammed. Dead. No answer to sin except, be as perfect as you can. Impossible for fallen men.
The Pope. Buttery nice, and at least he doesn't slaughter people. And he's replaceable when he dies. He declares peoples sins removed. But is that effective?
One person, came and was shown to be God, in human flesh, He died in our place. He gives us His perfection. He takes our hopeless sin unto Himself to the cross. He dies. He rises from the dead. He is fully man and He is fully God.
What if it's a hoax. Where is the proof? Why would anyone believe this stuff. No one's seen His glory. We read about it. We can't see it.
Paul quotes the old testament principle of 2 or 3 reliable witnesses to prove a fact even up to that proof requiring the taking of life. Capitol punishment with 2 or 3 witnesses was established in Deuteronomy 17.
They all survived. Back to 2 or 3 witnesses. We can build a case of proof that will stand up clear to the point of capitol punishment with 2 or 3 reliable witnesses. This is the design of God.
So back to our question. Who has seen the glory? Why should we believe in this Jesus?
Well, it turns out, it pleased God to reveal His Son, in full glory, to 3 witnesses. Reliable witnesses. Not screwballs. Not crazy people. Rock solid family men who earned a living with their hands type people. Steeped in a tradition of morality that held truth and honesty in the highest esteem, and forbade lieing of any kind.
Solid people. Reliable people. Painfully ordinary people. People like you and me. Witnessed the Glory of God openly in His Son, Jesus, the Christ. And they wrote what they had seen down for posterity for all time.
In the courtroom of God, on the judgement day, people will be judged because they did not believe in the Son of God. And doubtless many will say on that day, "We never saw you. Why would we believe? On what basis can you hold us in judgement? If we'd seen you, then we would have believed. We never saw you.
Then God will say, I appeared in all of my Glory, as God on earth, to three witnesses. Their witness is good enough in this court. You should have believed because of what they said.
I think it's interesting that Joseph Smith based the mormon religion on three witnesses who supposedly saw the plates. The Three Witnesses were Oliver Cowdery, Martin Harris, and David Whitmer. All three of them later denied the Mormon faith. They walked away.
Joseph Smith recognized the importance of witnesses. Too bad his were so wacko. Unreliable witnesses of an unreliable claim. False witnesses.
We have in this story for time immemorial three reliable witnesses that saw Jesus unveiled, in full glory. Let's look at it.
This is now the third time we'll look at this verse. And someone might argue, that what it says isn't about what the disciples saw on the mountain, it's about the 2nd coming.
And I would argue that prophecies can have more than a single fulfilling. Think about Peter at the day of Pentecost. The Spirit descends on believers and they begin to speak in other languages.
And someone in the crowd says, they're drunk. And Peter says, no, this is what was written in the prophet Joel. Remember that. But if you go and read that prophecy, pentecost was just a partial fulfillment. A picture of a later complete fulfilment. Pentecost was but a partial fulfillment of Joel's prophecy.
We've talked at length about this word Kingdom and how it was used at that time. It's not talking about real estate. It's talking about authority. Kingly authority. Authority to reign. And that's what Peter and James and John saw with their eyes.
3 witnesses saw that Glory. All 3 synoptic gospels include this event. It's important. And all 3 include the statement in vs. 28 about some standing there who will see with their eyes, what Kingdom authority looks like. God is building His case. 3 witnesses.
1Six days later Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves.
Luke says eight days. What're we going to do with that?
Simple. Just a different way two people look at the same thing. Matthew doesn't count the day we're still in and he doesn't count the day it happened. He counts days in the middle of those 2 days. That's how the jews like to do it.
Luke counts both of those days. He's writing to greeks. That's how they would understand it. Not a big deal. Just a point of interest.
Why Peter and James and John? We see them several times as the inner circle. They get to go in when the girl who had died is raised from the dead. Why? Because it pleased God to do it that way. 2 witnesses would stand up in court. God is gracious and gives us 3.
Lots of ink spilled about where the high mountain was. It doesn't say. We can sumise that it was probably such and such a mountain since they were in a definite locality, but it doesn't say, nor does it matter. Maybe it was the same one Satan took Him up on to show Him the Kingdoms of the world.
Luke tells us that they were overcome with sleep. I'm sure tagging along and keeping up with Jesus was exhausting at times. Jesus goes up on a mountain and prays. The disciples catch some winks. And you open your eyes and Jesus is glowing like the sun in it's strength.
2And He was transfigured before them; The greek word is metamorphoo. Which we englishise into metamorphosus. To be physically altered.
I personally believe that Satan has been behind Hollywoods fascination with shining beings. Things from outer space.
Do you get a picture in your mind of what this might have looked like. Is your imagination cluttered up with things you've seen in movies. Shining visages of humanoids. Glowing light coming out of the bottom of a flying saucer and glowing humanoid shaped figures standing in the light. Jesus was from Mars. Good one Satan.
Put Hollywood out of your mind. 3 reliable honest capable men saw something that they had to search for words to describe. Something brighter than the sun and whiter than any snow. Glowing, bright. Glory as of the only begotten of the father.
The sun that gives us it's light, is a temporary luminary. Some day it will go into retirement. The whole earth will be full of His glory.
The moon will be dismayed, the sun ashamed; for the LORD Almighty will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before its elders--with great glory.
Revelation 21:23 says of the New Jerusalem; And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God has illumined it, and its lamp is the Lamb.
This is what John and Peter and James saw up on the high mountain. The temporary veil of flesh was momentarily removed as it were, and the Glory of God was seen by men.
Why Moses and why Elijah. And how did the disciples know who they were? We don't know. We aren't told. Somehow they knew. They'd probably seen the Charleton Heston movie. Oh that's Moses. Maybe he still had the staff that he struck the rock with. And Elijah is a hairy guy who wears camels skins with a thick belt. Easy to spot.
It doesn't matter. What does matter is the entire story of the revelation of God to men is represented in these 3 men. The law, the prophets, and the new covenant, all standing there in glory speaking to one another.
Moses gave us the law of God that shows us how hopelessly broken we are. The prophets called us to stand seperated from this world, and predicted the redeemer who would purchase us, and save us gloriously.
Jesus is the redeemer who died in our place and gave to us His righteousness, and takes unto Himself all our sin. He dies in our place so that we can live together with Him in His resurrection and Glory.
The whole Bible in these 3 men, shining in glory that is indescribable. The whole story of redemption is there.
Luke adds something important. Luke 9:30 And behold, two men were talking with Him; and they were Moses and Elijah, 31who, appearing in glory, were speaking of His departure which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
Luke tells us that Moses and Elijah also appeared in shining glory. And he tells us the conversation was about His departure which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.
The word for departure is the word we would translate exodus. That adds all kinds of color. He's not the only one departing. In Ephesians 4 Paul talks about leading captivity captive. He's quoting Psalm 68:18. Listen to that Psalm and think about Jesus and the word exodus.
Jesus came to earth to take a group of "called out ones" captive. He came to retrieve the folks whose names were written in the book of Life from the foundation of the world.
There is a sense that His departure at Jerusalem is an exodus. Just like Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, Jesus leads His captives, the saints who belong to Him, who His Father has given to Him, who He purchased with His blood, these captives are taken out of this world to heaven and Glory with Him.
This is a Peter-ism. He's always got his mouth going. Luke adds, "not knowing what He was saying." and Mark says; 6For he did not know what to answer; for they became terrified.
Date wise, this event is just at the time of the feast of booths. Where the children of Israel would set up booths, dwellings made of branches and they would camp outside for a week to remember the Lord's provision for them in the wilderness for 40 years.
I think if there's any logic to Peter's offer, it is that rather than go down the mountain to the death that Moses and Elijah and Jesus were discussing, Peter's like, couldn't we just stay up here on the mountain top. Couldn't we just keep the mountain top experience going for a time. We could celebrate the feast of booths, right here. Hang out. Enjoy the Glory on the mountain.
The word translated good, it is good for us to be here, is the word we would translate, excellent. This Glory on the mountain top is excellent. Let's extend it. Let's hang out. Let's prolong the excellence. Leave the valley for later. We'll get some booths put up. We'll hang out and just soak up Glory.
You know, we like to poke fun at Peter. We would never open up our mouth and insert foot. We're a lot smarter. A lot classier. Better to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
But the fact is, if Peter hadn't spoken, we wouldn't have words from God the father that affirm what our 3 witnesses were there to see, and to relate to us.
We've seen this cloud many times before in the old Testament. It is how God manifests Himself and speaks. How He lead Israel in the wilderness. How He filled the temple with His Glory, and later, how the Glory departed.
Listen to Him! Again we love to have fun with Peter. Shut up and listen Peter.
Hello? Is there anyone else in the room that has this problem. Quick to speak. Slow to hear. All that God has given us in His word. We approach this book like it's positive but optional. Add this to your life like frosting on the cake, if you feel like it. Or not. Cake is cake either way.
We approach the Word of God as if it is optional information. Good if you take some. No harm no foul if you don't.
God emphatically says to us; "This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!" We need to approach this book with a LOT more urgency than we do. Don't poke at Peter. Look in the mirror. This book is the mirror.
We could use some of this terror. We forget that God is huge and we are tiny. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. No one talks about that in American Evangelicalism. We don't want a God who is terrible. We want a God who puts His arm around us while we're shaving.
People who encounter God, almost always have the same immediate reaction as these 3 men had. Over and over when God visits, people end up face down in the dirt. That's almost a universal reaction. Even angels have that effect on humans. Terror!
7And Jesus came to them and touched them and said, "Get up, and do not be afraid." 8And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus Himself alone.
Grace. We don't deserve it. God has grace for His chosen ones. A touch. Comfort. Understanding. "Get up, and do not be afraid." Easy for You to say.
All of us are going to see God. History and this book say that is inevitable. How will that go down. Yo! Dude! Rubba dub dub, thanks for the grub . . yay! God. Really? Are you kidding me?
These three men, chosen by God, arguably the 3 most special men on earth, after 2 1/2 years with the Son of God, made face impressions in the dirt. And they stayed in that position until Jesus touched them and said, It's OK, Get up. Don't be afraid.
We're all slated to SEE God. With our eyes. What are we doing to prepare for that day? Do you think God's advice to these men might apply to us. In preparation for that day? Listen To Him. Get serious about This Book.
Of the 3 witnesses to the Glory of Jesus, there were 2 survivors. James, the brother of John was killed by Herod before he had opportunity to write any books.
What was the effect on Peter and John.
Here's a snippet from John's book.
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 5The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
14And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15John testified about Him and cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.'" 16For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace. 17For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. 18No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.
We beheld His Glory. And that changed everything!
Peter and John both base the evidenciary argument that Jesus is God, and that changes everything, to an experience they witnessed first hand up on a high mountain.
2And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light. 3And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.
No other religion has anything close to God in human flesh, witnessed by reliable men, who wrote it down, once for all, delivered to the Saints. These things are fact, not fiction.
I'll close this morning with another C. S. Lewis quote.
C.S. Lewis' celebrated children's book, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, tells of the adventures of four children in the magical kingdom of Narnia. The story is fun, but it's also an allegory of Jesus Christ and salvation, with Christ represented by the lion Aslan. When in Narnia, the children meet Mr and Mrs Beaver, who describe the mighty lion to them.
Epilogue: A thought. The law of God says 2 or 3 witnesses. Think about what happened post resurrection. We've got 3 witnesses and Satan says, I'll take care of that. James is murdered and when Herod sees that it pleases the Jews, he throws Peter in prison; to be executed.
2 witnesses snuffed out. Only one witness left. John. That's not enough. And an angel kicks Peter in the side and says wake up. You just got a 'get out of jail free' card Peter.
God will have His witnesses. Satan is over-ruled by a higher authority, and we have 2 out of the 3 accounts, in print, in our hands, intact! this morning.
Maybe that's why Peter was sleeping so peacefully in the jail?

Still in shock over the following.
A bit over a week ago my Apple 2011 Macbook Pro started having issues, and yes it was just out of extended warranty. So I booked it in to be looked at and the chap admitted there was a known issue with this model and it would require the logic board to be changed, normally $700, but he said he would see what he could do. In the end it was changed at no cost and I picked it up on Monday (just over a week).
But after using it for a short period on Tuesday I noticed it getting rather hot, more so than I recalled it ever did. So I booked it in again Wednesday and they were hesitant to accept it as it passed the desk level tests, but I insisted they take a better look at it.
They called me last night to tell me they had carried out in depth tests and it passed them all, so I had to accept that and headed in today to pick it up.
Anyway, after checking in and waiting longer than before, the chap that called me last night came over and said they had some news. Just prior to bringing it out to me, they did a final power up test and the graphics card failed again. he said that it had been changed twice already and he could not expect me to have it changed again, so offered to replace it with the latest equivalent if I was Ok with that. After a moment of being stunned, I calmly accepted.
It is actually far more powerful, so a great service by Apple.

Regarding Closure of Railway Printing Presses – AIRF
No.AIRF/174
Hon'ble Minister for Railways,
Ministry of Railways, Rail Bhawan,
Sub.: Closure of Railway Printing Presses – Regarding
Ref.: Railway Board's letter No.2018/RS/Ptg. & Sty./AP/PP/IR dated 04.06.2019
The issue of closure of Railway Printing Presses, being burning one, has been repeatedly deliberated by AIRF at various levels during the last two years. After detailed discussions, including deliberations held in the PNM Meeting of AIRF with the Railway Board on our captioned agenda item(item No.35/2018), it was assured that the following five Railway Printing Presses would not only continue to function, but also be modernized by providing latest printing machinery and plant.
(i) Byculla(CR), (ii) Howrah(ER), (iii) Shakurbasti(NR), (iv) Royapuram(Chennai) and (v) Secunderabad(SCR)
It was also advised to this federation that the workload of those printing presses, other than the above-mentioned five, which are to be closed, would also be transferred to these printing presses. It may also be noted that, Ministry of Railways has spent substantial money with a view to modernize the aforesaid five printing presses as was assured to this federation.
Previously, the undersigned had also discussed this issue with your goodself and you also assured that, five printing presses would be allowed to function with due modernization thereof to cater the requirement of various money value and other items used in the Railways. To our utter surprise, Railway Board had issued above referred to letter, vide which it was communicated to close the remaining five printing presses which were to continue functioning as per assurance given to this federation. You may also appreciate that, the above orders have been issued in total disregard of your personal assurance given to us on the subject. This action of the Railway Board tantamounts to complete breach of negotiated settlement, and it is further regretful that, your personal assurance, to continue five printing presses, quoted above, has also not been honoured. This would definitely result in shaking of trust and credibility of the Railway Administration, as the assurance, given at the MR's level, is also not honoured in the instant case.
We, therefore, request your goodself to personally look into the matter, so that, the assurance given to AIRF, to continue five printing presses to function, is honoured and implemented.
