Ion Exchange and Holy Bible

When writing thesis, or dissertation, or any scientific paper I would say, there must be a part of literature review, where any kind of references we use we put in there as our major sources for explaining our background, objectives, or discussion. I am currently working on ion exchange, and well, though not yet consider to write the major portion of my dissertation, I am reading lots of journals and books to find anything important.

Can you believe that even Holy Bible mention about the application of ion exchange?? I was reading a book entitled Ion Exchange by Friedrich Helfferich, and in the Introduction part I found a quote from The Book of Exodus, chapter 15, verse 23-25. It was read, And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah. And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them.

And the explanation is, that Moses utilized a kind of tree, which we consider as natural ion exchanger, to prepare drinking water form brackish water. Well, I guess ion exchange has an interesting history.

Hangover

Where did I go yesterday night? Well, I need a partner to talk to so I went to St. Francis Xavier Parish church to meet Father Wawan, who was so kindly and welcome. We both love coffee, so we made cappuccino and talk over it for hours . Anyway, I drank from a bowl hahaha [too many milk so I couldn't use the cup]. Delicious homemade cappuccino [plus cinnammon].

It was fun, and I enjoyed it. Not everyday you can talk over coffee about anything. And share your fears, share your questions, how you see your life, anything, even about the bible . We also had dinner with another priest [I forgot his name hahaha], and since so many beverages on the table, I couldn’t stop myself to drink. Just tea, lemon tea, and beer. Talking and drinking . I went back to dorm at 10, and I feel so dizzy [hahaha I think I got hangover, too many kinds of beverages I drank ].

I couldn’t sleep easily later last night. But I gain something inside myself.

P.S. Father Wawan, thank for the talk
