The Tuesday

Well I haven't blog for a while so I decided to give a shot. And Glorify God! Again! At Monday I had my defense of the the Change Management project we handed in in Mr. Vinke's pigeon box. I trusted to God and prayed fervently. The Monday went just flawless Glory be to the Holy Trinity (The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit)! Amen! Everything went quite well during the Management Meeting. Each 3 who constructed my group were able to partake at the right moment. I was really calm and peaceful during the whole meeting! Cause of God's mercy and power who was helping me and helping us. Our teachers who pretended to be a Managers in a company gave their point on our Change Management Plan. They tried to squeeze us with unfortable questions. Happily we had a reasonable answers on most of them. What's left now is to fix few minor things about the plan and then hand it in to the teachers. Afterwards I hope if everything is ok, each one of 3 of us will receive an individual task and will start working on it. Am let me recall some memories from the day before. Max (a black guy), who happens to be my neighbor and a Christian also invited me to join his protestant presbetyrian Chuch he attend. I accepted since I feel a need to be in the Church and the Orthodox Church misses me so much.. Well we went to a building with a hall in which the protestant Church gathered together. The reason I accepted to join that Church was that they preach in English there. I was quite stunned when I found out that the pastor is actually a female (a black one). They started with a sort of entry speech or at least it looked like this to me. The service continued as the pastor went out preaching. Oh boy, Oh boy what a preach it was, I couldn't believe on my eyes. The pastor acted completely like a general she was screaming passages of the Holy Bible, stressing out on some of the things. Blaming the ppl that they fail to understand the Bible she asked them that the ppl ask God for enligthment on what this passages red. Then the service moved by as a few individuals were invited to share testimonies of what God has done for them during the week.. A little later there was a sort of prayer session where everybody was praying with different prayer, it was like an uncontrolled crowd in which each one of them acted completely different. Some of them were screaming hysterically at moments I was scared to be honest. Then the pastor took the bottle of oil and started laying hands upon some of the ppl of the Church, Oh God they were shaking falling down on the ground, screaming making grimaces, it was an awful things to see .. I was not aware if the people were pretending or this is real. The pastor was Chasing away demons out of the ppl, or at least she told me later that this is what she does. It was such bad place to be I was eagering to be out of this place as fast as possible as the ppl (Church) acted like a sect. The Pastor wanted to lay hands on me either but I rejected the proposition with the words, "No, No, I'm Orthodox". Later I tried to explain to some of the ppl my concerns about what is wrong in this church according to me. And a woman (a real piggy one), started arguing with me with the arguments that I quote her here "i'm God", was like shit this guys are even blasphemous. Luckily some of the other members of the Church corrected the questionable lady that she is wrong although she was unwilling to accept the fact. Later I had a little chat with the pastor and her husband plus one more lady. Let's say that their belief was closer to the Faith reality than the rest. But still I was really shocked from the experience ... I don't know if they're wrong or right all I know and want is that God have mercy over them and me and guide us to know his truth completely. About today: Well let's say a peaceful they it was, except the fact that one of the webservers had died. And was not acceptable for around an hour and a half. As soon as a colleague informed me I restarted the failed apache. I could say I haven't done much from midday till the early afternoon I spend in the University accompanied by Ina. We had few talks about stuff and so on and so on. When I came back "home" to the dorm. I worked a bit. I spend some time learning some english words in an effort to enrich my vocabulary. Since there is a Adobe Flash Player 10 for Linux for already a few weeks. I decided to install it on my laptop. Well it took me some time until I installed it correctly. Now I have Adobe Flash 10 on my Debian machine! It seems this version of Flash includes a possibility to use cameras with flash. I was curious about how does this new release of flash performs comparing to the old Adobe Flash 9. According to a Benchmarking made on Linux and Mac it is said that Flash 10 tend to be less CPU hungry and in general peforms better than it's predecessor. The whole article could be red on the here . Let me conclude that post with a cool thing. A friend of mine has referred me to the following "Virtual Barbershop" check it out here link . Be sure that you listen it on headphones otherwise you won't be able to fully enjoy it! :)
