A History of God’s Love

When you remember God’s repeated Goodness and Favor in your life—be it in delivering you from a difficult situation, healing you of a sickness or disease, or delivering you from your enemies—this is fuel for your faith that He will do it again.

The red seas He parted for you, or those times when He closed the jaws of the lions in the den, you know this is a history of God’s Love for you—when you see that His faithfulness to protect you and your family never ceases.

The Cost of the Coronavirus

When Covid-19 has a hidden price attached to it: those living alone or in nursing homes; those disregarding public health measures to protect themselves and others; and those losing their loved ones prematurely or their jobs suddenly.

Be it opportunist corrupt or inept politicians lying to the public to remain in power, selfish customers hoarding essential items, or covidiots refusing to wear a mask or practicing social distancing, they all have to pay for their actions (and inactions)—the cost of the coronavirus is just a breath, lie, or inconvenience away.

Let Go and Let God

When you realize that your effort or past, or what people think or say about your shortcomings, inadequacies, or failures, doesn’t determine your future, but God does, because He is in control of the universe and of your life.

Until you let go and let God Be in charge of your life, it’s hard for you to see His blessings flow through your life—God is concerned about what concerns you, because He wants you to experience his power, not just knowing about Him and His goodness.

Mathematical Doodles

The untapped tool that has hardly been used by oft-boring or uncreative math writers to convey difficult concepts to their lay readers—when math educators-turned-doodlers or artists-turned-math writers could disrupt math publishing such that the world’s most disliked school subject needn’t be terminal once it becomes optional.

The use of mathematical doodles could be seen as a visual version of math guides for dummies, idiots, and morons—an intersection of math, art, and creativity to raising the quantitative literacy of millions of semi-innumerate people worldwide.

COVID-🎶

The hypothesis that playing slower music—one that doesn’t exceed 120 beats per minute (BPM)—in public settings, such as when people exercise in gyms, or folks dance or do aerobics in workout classes, could reduce the corona infection rate, as it is pretty hard for people in a group activity to properly wear masks or social distance.

With the new Covid-🎶 rule, a number of gym owners in Seoul are worried whether playing fast, funky K-pop songs could get them in trouble with the authorities—would they be forced to play classical or gospel music instead to reduce saliva droplets in the air?

Trump 2Ø2Ø

When President Donald J. Trump fails to secure a second term in the 2020 presidential election, as voters reject him for his bigotry, dishonesty, racism, supremacism, and his mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic.

At Trump 2Ø2Ø rallies, out of desperation, Donald Trump is concocting all kinds of eleventh-hour conspiracies and falsehoods about Covid-19 to exonerate himself from the abnormally high infection and death rates in the US.

11,780

One of Trump’s latest notorious numbers, with reference to the number of fake votes the Commander in Cheat wanted Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" to overturn the election results won by his presidential opponent in the state.

In a math test, a high school teacher in Georgia challenged his students with the following questions:
1. Factorize the number 11,780.
2. Show that 11,780 divides 39¹⁰ – 1.
