I started my tennis re-training and was surprised to learn that the coach who took advance payment for my training is now in Qatar two weeks after I last saw him.
I didn’t overstress myself.
A 45-minute workout did me some sweating and I thought that was enough for the day.

The puppies had another deworming and vitamins injection.
And they now love to be let out of their playpen!!

Rafael Nadal won his first match by beating Marcus Daniel of Brazil 6-0 5-0. The loser retired injured.

Mike Bustamante came and went as usual, in spite of a screaming Yahoo message that he wants to see me when he arrives.
No, we never set eyes on each other.
So much for words.


REFLECTIONS
Exodus 8-10

The contest:
God vs. Pharaoh
Since Pharaoh had a hard heart, so God hardened his heart.

Exodus 10:1-2
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his officials so that I may perform these miraculous signs of mine among them that you may tell your children and grandchildren how I dealt harshly with the Egyptians and how I performed my signs among them, and that you may know that I am the LORD.”
cf.
Romans 1:18-26
God gave the sinful and the lustful over to their sinful and lustful desires.
(Ah ganon ha? Addict ka pala. Eto pa ang drugs!!!)

The plagues:
An affront to Egyptian gods?
