Long Beach Bus Transfers Go Paperless

   THE TAP CARD COMETH 

     On September 12, 205 The Press-Telegram reported that starting next spring the Long Beach Transit "will require the use of (a) TAP card". The TAP card is a preloaded cash card, with a computer chip, that will have the ride purchase deducted automatically as bus riders swipe their cards to transfer from bus-to-bus. 

     Twenty-four more bus agencies will also be switching over to the TAP card program. When all bus agencies are fully transitioned into TAP "hand punched, paper transfer" will be eliminated. This is to help avoid passengers paying twice by accident. 

The following two pictures show the article from the newspaper aforementioned. The article was written by Steven Scauzillo (steve.scauzillo@langnews.com, @stevscaz).  Karen Robes Meeks contributed to this report.

Books of the Bible

     From Wikipedia was obtained these picture grids on the books of the Holy Bible. When you take a moment to open up the pictures you can see how The Holy Bible changes from Protestant to Catholic to Eastern Orthodox. Also included is the Holy Book; The Torah.    

    Included in the description is the original language in which each book was written. The three main languages shown are Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. 

    In the name of GOD, enjoy your study of the Bible.

2016: Works of Mercy

     Pope Francis has deemed the Jubilee Year of 2016 as the year of Works Of Mercy.  During this year, which starts on November 2015 and ends on December 2016, His Holiness has stated that the CORPORAL Works of Mercy are to be especially focused on. Actual methods of helping our families, friends, neighbors, the poor, the marginalized, and the outcast are to be especially guided by the Corporal Works of Mercy. 

     The Corporal Works of Mercy is taken from Matthew 25:31-46??

     Considering all the refugees and immigrants escaping civil war I see GOD in this. He's telling us (as always) to help our brothers and sisters, in Christ. We cannot turn a Blind eye! Too many innocent lives are at risk for death.  How we behave to those in trouble, GOD will judge. 

P. S. 

9.25.15

     Since my original write up, the pope has asked the churches to open their doors to the Syrian refugees. The Vatican, itself, has, or it will, take in two families. Each church is to take in at least one refugee family.
