library policy

At our library, we can free use the computer for 2 full hours straight, unless someone reserve it ahead then you’ll be cut short. Which I found this is a horrible policy, for today I was using the computer half way through then suddenly the computer lock me out, says someone reserve this particular computer at 4:10. I’m sort of mad, I went to Libran to kindly go back to that computer and make sure my email and blogger is not still sign in.

By this a person can lost huge on something he or she is working on. Good thing, I didn’t lose a lot. I mean this is not a friendly policy or the person who reserve it in the middle while I’m using it, is doing it on purpose, but at least the Libran can kindly warm me ahead otherwise change this policy.

And I recall that when I first to try to use that computer, someone purposely shut down the computer, that’s how I come out the person who reserve it with some kind of intention.
 

cold brew coffee

How to help your kids understand the wrong and never do the same again?

Our trash can is small so we use the regular shopping bag as the trash bags.  And I always tell the kids, “Once the trash is full, tie it up and take it out to the big trash can outside, and never leave the trash bag out on the kitchen floor overnight.”

One time, after they done with cold brew coffee for the church coffee ministry next day, they tie up the trash bag but leave the trash bag inside on the kitchen floor, I guess it is because when they finish is late and dark outside so they decide to not to take out the trash.

If you also use the shopping bag as the trash bags, you probably notice that the bag is not that sturdy to hold the trash with liquid. Therefore if you leave the trash bag which is full of trash out then it’ll definitely leak badly.

For that reason this trash bag that the kids leave it out overnight on the kitchen floor, it leaks. In the morning when I see it, at first I am kind of mad, because they forget what I taught them.

If you were me, what will you do to let the kids remember and never done the wrong again?

Will you, number one, quickly clean up the mess and left? For this, most of the old generation, like my parents, they do so. I hope that you are not the ones. It will turns out, well, most of the case, the kids will never learn or when they grow up, they’ll not happy to find out that they never get chance to learn because of you.

Or will you, number two, scold them loudly and force them clean up or clean up for them at the same time? For this will lead an even worse result than the first way of handling the situation, the kids will not just never learn and never remember why you are mad, the only thing they remember is most likely, how terrible the parents you are. This is really sad.

Or will you, number three, kindly ask them to come to the scene, clean up and remind them one more time why and don’t ever do the same again?

baptism

Luke 15:10
In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
 
Luke 15:4-7
⁴ “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? ⁵ And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders ⁶ and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ ⁷ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.


That’s how we all feel like, the heaven and earth all rejoice in someone is being saved by the Lord.

Once I heard a pastor’s summon on TV about when he was little wicked kid, always make fun of a disable kid and try to mimic how he talk or act like that kid. But there’s one time when all go together at the summer camp, he heard this disable kid, says, “Good news! Good news! Jesus loves me.” That changed him.

panic

The other day when kid’s school is asking some kind of important document for their marching band signing papers, I couldn’t find them, I almost panic and break down.

 

I pray to the Lord, please help me calm down and think very hard for where it can be, for other documents are not missing so I should be able to find them somewhere in the house.

And I recall a joke that once been told about between parents and the kids who lost something, the mom or dad always ask their children, “Think about it, where do you last see it or left it?” the answer will always be, “If I do remember then I won’t lost it, Dah!?”

You probably worry about me, do I finally find this important document, of course, and otherwise, I won’t be capable to write now.

double discount

It’s like once a year, smart and final has a promotion for if you buy certain kind of gift card over $50 or more then you get a $10 discount coupe for later store shopping, and of course there’s some restriction of it.

I buy 3 $50 gift cards separately for friends as an appreciation gift and myself therefore I get 3 separate $10 store coupes. Hurray!
 
I feel good and bad at the same time and kind of guilty about it, technically it’s totally legal to do so. Two of the gift cards are of a brand name department store that kids happen to have something need to buy and there’s more, this department happen to have a promotion going on, which it happens all the time, for every $50 spend get a $10 store coupe so I get two of it.

I know it sounds smart and tricky too. Save money for something you need, why not? No doubt of friends used to joke about me, say, “you are the one be responsible for the slow economy.
