Making a risky decision to honor God is never wasted. Often times, we can “hide” behind the crowd and conceal the fact that we are Christians. But there are times when we must stand up for the fact that we are Christians and be willing to pay the price for it. For example, when kids at […]
If God gave you the desire of your heart, what would it be? What is the deepest desire of your heart? Does it have to do with this world only or does it involve something more? And if you received the desire of your heart, would it only benefit you or those around you? The problem […]
I’m on vacation at Olympics National Park with my family. To escape heat, we are going to Lake Crescent today and then go hiking at Hurricane Ridge tomorrow, God willing. This morning, I ran on the trail near Salish Sea (between U.S. and Canada) and meditated listening to Adrew Murray’s “Abide in Christ.” In it, he […]
A Miami condo collapsed, killing probably more than a hundred. It was not bombed or hit with a hurricane. It collapsed all by itself. There was another similar collapse in Korea. A building was being demolished, but instead imploding, it fell onto the street, enveloping a city bus making a stop, killing several in the […]
We assume we will always have the abilities we do now. But that is most assuredly not true. Serve the Lord while we can because there will come a time – might be earlier than we think – when we can’t even if we want to. Samson assumed he will always have his power. But after […]
Working at Lakes High this year, I got to feel on my skin how liberal and secular we really are. For example, today during our teacher training, we watched a video of a young lady who told us that we shouldn’t be “shoulding” anyone. In other words, we shouldn’t tell anyone what they should or […]
We have a weed problem at our new house. On the side of our house is gravel, and weeds are poking through the gravel. I try to be vigilant and pluck them as soon as they come up because I know how hard it is to get rid of them when they are fully grown. […]
I watched a documentary on autistic geniuses yesterday. These are people who have a damage to certain parts of their brain, and the genius comes from the other part of the brain compensating for it. For example, one man took a 30-minute look at the city of Tokyo (the most densely populated in the world) from […]
Since I discovered it on Youtube, I’ve been watching the Korean news much. One heart-wrenching story that is gripping Korea right now is of a young lady in the Air Force who took her own life after being sexually harassed multiple times by her superiors. This didn’t become an issue until the media got a […]
Being a teacher, I’m reminded of my childhood years waiting eagerly for the summer break. I could endure the restrictions and unpleasant discipline that came with being in school if I could see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am feeling that all over again as a teacher. Only 11 more days […]
