The Transfiguration
Six days later Jesus took with him Peter, James, and JOhn, and led them up a high mountain, where they were alone. As they looked on, a change came over Jesus, and his clothes became shining white -- whiter than anyone in the world could wash them. Then the three disciples saw Elijah and Moses talking with Jesus. Peter spoke up and said to Jesus, "Teacher, how good it is that we are here! We will make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." He and the others were so frightened that he did not know what to say.
Then a cloud appeared and covered them with its shadow, and a voice came from the cloud, "This is my own dear Son -- listen to him!" They took a quick look around but did not see anyone else; only Jesus was with them.
As they came down the mountain, Jesus ordered them, "Don't tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has risen from death."
They obeyed his order, but among themselves they started discussing the matter, "What does this 'rising from death' mean?" And they asked Jesus, "Why do the teachers of the Law say Elijah has to come first?"
His answer was, "Elijah is indeed coming first in order to get everything ready. Yet why do the scriptures say that the Son of Man will suffer much and be rejected? I tell you, however, that Elijah has already come and that people treated him just as they pleased, as the Scriptures say about him."
- Mark 9:2-13

dear toe,
I read your other blogs, and I wanted to leave a comment here. I hope you don't mind.
I finished Fine Arts 1999, strangely enough, it lead to a journo career which opened the doors to work for a foreign embassy here. However, I have recently filed for my resignation.
It was a great experience, I have learned a lot, but a dead end career as local staff.
So I have decided to take the FSO exams this year just to see If this path is really for me. If not, then I just want to find the right track.
many thanks,
I.
