Fifth Addendum to “The Prayer of Jabez”

The book of Bruce Wilkinson also got introduced on a Swiss blog (and this means in German language) and the according article has comments. I fully subscribe to the idea of a certain commentator, who has a problem with praying for other people. How could he make suggestions to God while not knowing what would […]

Fourth Addendum to “The Prayer of Jabez”

The interviewed guy, from whom I learnt about the Prayer of Jabez, though testing many oral prayers agreed with me that praying isn’t a matter of words and definitely not a matter of speaking loud. He said that each human continually is producing thoughts and these usually are a monologue. So it should be a […]

Berlin Brawls VI

In Reinickendorf, the twelfth borough of Germany’s capital Berlin, in last month, two men got arrested for beating another man to death. The first impression soon got reversed when more news on this case got out. A man had entered a bakery and began some strife, so the shop owner kicked him out. The man […]

Jack Pot’s Computer Literacy Lessons: Arrays

In my article on data types, I forgot an important data type. I mean the type char. It has a size of one byte and represents a single character. When something can be interpreted as a number, then it also can be interpreted as a character. Code tables are used to translate between these two […]

Third Addendum to “The Prayer of Jabez”

While the Prayer of Jabez sometimes is criticized for being too egoistic, Jesus explained how you should and how you shouldn’t pray. While being imprudent and shameless during your prayers is alright, a haughty spirit is a problem. Jabez hadn’t a haughty spirit, but was a humble servant of God, so Jabez had a good […]

Second Addendum to “The Prayer of Jabez”

The Prayer of Jabez is criticized for being egoistic. But Jewish comments on the Tanakh (what for christians is the Old Testament) describe Jabez as a very godly and generous person. He established a school for Levite children and thirty-one persons were documented to be disciples there. Such a religious person certainly was in a […]

It’s the USA’s National Day of Reason

Today on May, 1st in Africa, Asia, South America, and Europe is Labor Day, while in the USA is the National Day of Reason. So I wondered whether both have something to do with each other. They don’t! The Anglo-Saxon countries each have own preferences for the Labor Day. The president of the USA since […]

First Addendum to “The Prayer of Jabez”

Although a hype (rather only in North America) was caused by a book of Bruce Wilkinson, I know the Prayer of Jabez neither from his book nor from discovering it on my own while reading the Bible. I instead know the Prayer of Jabez from another religious tv show, which I recently watched. It was […]

The Business Strategy of Selling Feelings

There’s a business strategy, which can be assigned to the male zodiac signs. I know it due to not only being interested in astrology, but also having dreamed of emigration. Thanks to the internet age, I was able to inquire some German emigrants about their experiences and they all agree that to emigrate is the […]
