William Seymour, 1909:
Next Revival Will Come in About 100 Years —
It’s Due!

Greater things are still to come
And greater things are still to be
done in this City

Good Friday Service,

I balled.
This is so disgusting!
Jesus heart is so broken
and we act like everything is okay —
not getting right with our neighbor:
“Once saved always saved.”
We should have had revival/
real Christianity happening
long ago in this city.
This is an inexcusable, major tragedy.
The ‘pastors’ should be down on their knees,
crying out for mercy,
confessing their sin —
apologizing.
Greater things
should have already been done
in this city.
We should be leading the world.
Instead it’s business as usual —
as America crumbles before our eyes.

First Cornerman photo in new (old) building
to commemorate the first day wearing Delta uniforms.
Delta wouldn’t allow a union patch on Delta shirts,
so they only sent us pants
until a few days ago,
when the shirts arrived,
since we’re no longer union.
Most of us wore our NWA uniforms until this day,
of which most were gray.
My favorite black shirt was an earlier edition.

Amazing Spectacle: Total Lunar Eclipse Monday Night
For a few hours on the night of Dec. 20 to Dec. 21, the attention of tens of millions of people will be drawn skyward, where the mottled, coppery globe of our moon will hang completely immersed in the long, tapering cone of shadow cast out into space by our Earth. If the weather is clear, favorably placed skywatchers will have a view of one of nature’s most beautiful spectacles: a total eclipse of the moon. …
Color and brightness in question
During totality, although the moon will be entirely immersed in the Earth’s shadow, it likely will not disappear from sight. Rather, it should appear to turn a coppery red color, a change caused by the Earth’s atmosphere bending or refracting sunlight into the shadow.
Since the Earth’s shadow is cone-shaped and extends out into space for about 844,000 miles (1,358,000 km), sunlight will be strained through a sort of “double sunset,” all around the rim of the Earth, into its shadow and then onto the moon.
However, because of the recent eruptions of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano last spring and the Merapi volcano in Indonesia in October, one and possibly even two clouds of ash and dust might be floating high above the Earth. As a result, the moon may appear darker than usual during this eclipse; during totality, parts of the moon might even become black and invisible.
A careful description of the colors seen on the totally eclipsed moon and their changes is valuable. The hues depend on the optical equipment used, usually appearing more vivid with the naked eye than in telescopes. The French astronomer Andre-Louis Danjon introduced the following five-point scale of lunar luminosity (“L”) to classify eclipses:
L = 0: Very dark eclipse, moon almost invisible, especially in mid-totality.
L = 1: Dark eclipse, gray or brownish coloration, details distinguishable only with difficulty.
L = 2: Deep red or rust-colored eclipse, with a very dark central part in the shadow, and outer edge of the umbra relatively bright.
L = 3: Brick red eclipse, usually with a bright or yellow rim to the shadow.
L = 4: Very bright copper-red or orange eclipse, with a bluish very bright shadow rim.
Examine the moon at mid-totality and also near the beginning and end of totality to get an impression of both the inner and outer umbra. In noting an L observation, state the time and optical means (naked eye, binoculars or telescope) that is used. We invite readers to e-mail their Danjon estimate for this eclipse (along with any pictures they’d like to share) to cmoskowitz-at-SPACE.com.
At mid-totality, from rural locations far from city lights, the darkness of the sky is impressive. Faint stars and the Milky Way will appear, and the surrounding landscape will take on a somber hue. As totality ends, the eastern edge of the moon begins to emerge from the umbra, and the sequence of events repeats in reverse order until the spectacle is over.
In Last Night, this is where I was saying I should have shot my photos from:
In hindsight, I probably could have totally avoided the clouds
shooting instead near Flattop Mountain —
getting an interesting landscape shot up there as well,
but the forecast was clouds,
so I was surprised to even see the moon at all.
And I didn’t know this would be such a long event,
taking over 2 hours —
much different than a solar eclipse.
These are the clouds that rained on my party,
a little less than half way through the eclipse

Mom took this shot of me shooting the photos below —
her idea.
She did a great job hand-holding the 1.3 second exposure,
which was my fault.
I handed her the LX5, only conservatively increasing the ISO,
which is my style.
But I should have opened the aperture all the way up too,
utilizing its f/2.0 capability.
[For really observant camera buffs,
I’m not using the tripod collar because I loaned this lens to a friend
who doesn’t have a RRS quick release mount,
and I hadn’t screwed back on the adapter.
It wasn’t necessary, though.
Perhaps it was the extreme angle.
The 5D2 was rock steady
even with the extenders.]

About 15 minutes into the lunar eclipse
12/20/10 • 10:41 PM
About an hour into the eclipse,
here it is nearly full.
We’re looking at the moon almost entirely shadowed by the Earth!
I had thought that the red color was mostly from the streetlight-lit clouds that rolled in,
but Rich commented below on how this is how it appeared even cloudless,
which I see is the case in these photos.
Perhaps even though the moon wasn’t throwing much light,
it was still reddening the clouds, along with the city’s light pollution,
which is generally more yellow/orange than red.
The clouds are a main reason for this photo’s lack of sharpness.
But this is also a much longer exposure,
as the moon is much darker,
so the movement of the moon blurs the photo even more.
I don’t have a motorized tracker gizmo
as Alaska isn’t a great place to view celestial bodies in the heavens,
being too low in elevation, among other things.
In hindsight, I probably could have totally avoided the clouds
shooting instead near Flattop Mountain —
getting an interesting landscape shot up there as well,
but the forecast was clouds,
so I was surprised to even see the moon at all.

The Fine Art of Digital Printing
My workstation was at the far left of the second row.
I decided to post another lab photo to highlight Ming.
In the red shirt, he’s an amazing hands-on instructor,
reminding me very much of the Food Buddha,
if you’ve seen him on TV.
They both have a quick mind, incredible energy,
are smart and so friendly!
This is a 1.3 second photo (hand-held LX5),
so there is some serious blurring going on.
If you look carefully,
you can see a shoe and a leg on the bottom-right,
where someone was standing.
The even closer blur is instructor

In Acts, reading on my own
how full of joy Paul and Silas handled their imprisonment,
it was in this book I was convinced Christianity is the true religion.
And by reading this book in high school
was when I dedicated my life to Him.
Though I loved the NIV’s readability,
and I discovered Life through it,
I don’t really consider the NIV a real Bible anymore.
It’s dangerous, and is misleading many
because of the numerous texts they changed and/or deleted,
like Romans 8:1b!
Thankfully, they didn’t change Hebrews 10:26-39
which I found as a senior,
trying to see if eternal security was valid or not.
“Hebrews 10:26” was my theme song during my last year in high school,
and Hebrews 10:26-39 is one of the cornerstones in my
Who-Goes-To-Heaven Scriptures — Narrow is the Way |
Who are the Children of God?
article that has been posted for almost a year.
But I couldn’t have written it
had I used Rupert Murdoch’s NIV.
I’m offering $6,000 to anyone who can refute it.
And no one can.
This single doctrine may be the key to us
seeing the 3rd Great Awakening happen before our eyes
here in Anchorage.
I love this book because of how it affected my life.
but it’s really diabolical,
and has destroyed the lives of many.
I recommend reading Textus Receptus based translations
like the NKJV or the Word English Bible,
which is what I use mostly online,
because it’s royalty free,
unlike the NKJV.

And this is a great NKJV audio Bible:
The King James (KJV) is also accurate, but it’s unnecessarily hard to read, now that we have faithful modern versions. I have only found a few problematic inaccuracies in the NKJV. The World English Bible is also excellent.

Freight floor sink icicle in our 2001-10 warehouse
I can show this now that we have great heat
having moved back to our old facility.
Some bid the freight floor so they wouldn’t have to freeze outside,
but maybe it’s worse freezing inside!
The contractor bought used, obsolete, foreign made heaters
for which some parts weren’t even available.
The love of money realized.
