Daylight saving time
Just lovely. Woke up at the time I usually do - 7.20. No matter that clock was adjusted by daylight saving time and it was only 6.20 in old time.
Should I confess that I went to bed already 5pm yesterday?

Peace and joy
Nothing has finished yet. But today I have peace and some kind of joy. Our company has created web site where colleages from different countries can express their support to colleagues in Japan.
Most of those comments were about being in thoughts and prayers with that nation and wishes that God may help them (interesting - in company when rules of behaviour asks to leave religion outside the office).
It is good to know that we are united.

Test of sanity
Today my colleage tested my sanity by asking what do I think about Da Vinci Code. She knows that I go to church and defend opinon about absolute truth, Jesus as savior etc. that is not something majority would vote for, so it seemed that she tested how freaky I actually am. :)
I passed the test by saying that I think it is fiction, but not starting to talk about defamation, conspiracy against church or something like that.
I was smart to keep my mouth shut and not to tell her that I am taking all precaution to avoid consequences of nuclear crisis as much as possible. Even though the official theory is that we are in absolutely safe place in another part of the world. Then she would question my sanity for sure.

Eggs, fish, apple seeds
Why does it look like that the end is really close?
Iceland, Egypt, Japan.. It all sounds like in prophecy from the book of revelations.
Should we be ready?
If the body has accumulated enough iodine, radioactive iodine is less dangerous. There are special pills, but iodine can be found in some special salt, eggs, fish and apple seeds.
I went to a shop and bought salt with iodine, fish and apples. I had some eggs already at home.
But it isn't about surviving some nuclear power plant explosion. Question is - are we ready for the second comming of Jesus Christ?
I can feel prepared to meeting Jesus (though, usually I don't much feel like that), but if we really believe that He is comming, shouldn't we invest everything to tell the world about Him? Nothing else matters... So say we, and tomorrow again - we go to work and do some job with a possibility to testify only to few colleagues...
Anyway, good luck with surviving and meeting Jesus!

разоблачать
New Russian word for today. Expose, unmask.
Good way to survive is not to pretend. Even if разоблачение hurts, it is better than living in lies.
