meeting & random thoughts

To me family always come first, so friends know me that no weekends, night or restaurant meeting for any kind as possible.

I don’t really approve meeting at restaurant, especially buffet, first it’s expensive and not healthy, buffet is the worst, almost no one will abstinence from eating too much, not mention about the quality of the foods.

At home or park or church will do the job already and you can even add on more worship time and pray time.

Kid: Mom! Some of the vegetables are hard to chew.
Mom: then chew harder, dah!

Why do Asian parents only approve As? Well, because, B stands for below average, C stands for cannot eat, D stands for do not come home, and F stands for find yourself a new family, now you get it.

Why is man and women different? Because, we say man, and we say wow! Man, woman, get it?


Female is not free, because females come with a fee, ha-ha!

11-13-2015 worship songs

I found a lovely song that I want to share with you; it will be sung in Japanese in the first time then followed by Chinese version. And you can see the lyrics, the first line is in Chinese, second line is Japanese and the third line is the sound for in Japanese.
我要愛慕你 // 慕い求めます
耶穌 我要愛慕你 
イエス あいします 
我要愛慕你 傾倒我的生命
あいします こころそそぎ
你是我唯一所求 讓我心單單渴慕你 
ただあなただけ  したいもとめます
我心滿溢 我心滿溢 
あふれる あふれる
對你的愛和思念無止盡
あなたをしたうおもい
讓我走向 你的身旁 貼近你 
みそばに ひきよせて
主啊 我渴慕尋求你
主よ したいもとめます

We are all creations, but who is the creator, do you have any clue.

From an angle, it seems this faith has so many restriction on you, you only can do this and but not this and that, but why? Didn’t say that you love me, and yes, from the opposite side, it's all about love, a love that asks for any return. Someone wants to embrace you forevermore, a lot time we run away from Him. Only because we are afraid that we are not worthy to be loved or we are too proud to ask for help or we are too sad to ask. Oh! Please help never run away from your love.

important decision 4

Psalm 133:1
How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!

1 Peter 3:8
Finally, all of you must live in harmony, be sympathetic, love as brothers, and be compassionate and humble.

We are going through a major transition, however all the messages that I heard since then, it’s like everyone pointing fingers to each others, according to bible that in their understanding.

Just like years ago, when the elder board, let go of the previous senior pastor, the entire messages I receive at that period time, is complaining and anger.

There is not unity, harmony or syncretism.
感覺不到合一,沒有合一,不合一。

apple chips

I choose this recipe, be honest, I think, it's a very easy and simple way to make a snack.
But it turns out, well, not really nice, at least, not qualify to be taken pictures. The color is not quite right, and it tastes OK, but more like dry fruits, sort of chewy too.
First, I don't use parchment paper, I thought that's a waste and not necessary and they stuck.
Second, I don't have a Mandoline, therefore, I hand cut them with a fruit knife, those slices come out not thin enough and not consistent either.
and the last, I don't have patient, since it needs to bake at a low temperature, 200 °F, for an hour, I do wait that long, but it's not crispy yet, so I turn the temperature up a little, and believe this will speed up the process, and that's probably why some of them look a bit burned.
Well, at least, I try, and good luck with your experiment. Have fun!

Ingredients
2 cups water
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 to 3 lemons, juiced
2 small apples, preferably a crisp, washed and dried
Directions
In a small pot, combine the water and sugar and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Set aside to cool.
Using a Mandoline or sharp knife, cut thin slices. Sprinkle them with lemon juice. Submerge the apple slices in the syrup for a few hours or, even better, overnight.
Preheat the oven to 200 
°F.

Remove the apple slices from the syrup. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Bake them in the oven until crispy, about 1 hour.

important decision 3

A welfare party or appreciate party for this pastor of our church, I'm not sure is the word "firing" for this "discontinue contracting him" is an appropriate term.

But the party is held by the church and in the church is that right?

Seeing the pastor break down in front of crowds? It is cruel, but to him, in a way, it is a released. When a person tries to hide the emotion, show strong at all time, when you supposed to tear and you don't tear, when you supposed to laugh out loud and you don't laugh, it is not healthy.

From this episode, from the beginning to the end, most of us focus on the senior pastor and the elder board; do them make the right decision? We should leave the judge to our Lord.

If a pastor is so dedicated on young crowds, put all his time, money, energy and everything on it, is that right or fair, I truly don't agree. Even in marriages or between parents and kids, I believe, we should still give each other space and most of all; love yourself a little bit more.

It is also a time for this pastor to think more about his serving, it is end of serving here, it doesn't mean the end of his world or serving, the Lord has more missions need him to fulfilled, agree?

It is a big lesson to learn for us all, we really cannot pray for no obstacles or storms or whatever difficulties ahead our lives, but for the strength, wisdom, companion and the like, most of the Holy Spirit with us at all time.


You come to the Lord and stay with Him, not only because of someone or something, and then the base will corrupt too easily.
