Interesting that a nation is setting aside an entire day for this and awarding prizes. I wonder how this would affect family dynamics if you were the 'prize child' or not.Imagine...

To put this in a little bit of a perspective... Last night was a long night-or yesterday was a long day out of the house at 5:20 am, got back at 11:30 pm. I know i turned my alarms on last night, but apparently i forgot to change the phone from vibrate to ring. This morning, when i hit snooze on the regular alarm i changed the time setting it an hour ahead. I ended up waking up an hour and 15

While I was at Yale in my postdoc, my friend RJ told me that this was my name is in Chinese. He said it was a good name. So, i guess that can't be bad. So I wouldn't loose it (not that you can loose a name, but loose in the sense I would forget which symbols they were) he and I sat down and went through the all the characters on the computer until we found the three that were my name.

Lots of colors.Included in the wedding party was the MOST BEAUTIFUL bridesmaid (NO I am not biased at all... the others were very beautiful to but... )Of course a Messianic Wedding isn't complete without the blowing of the Chaufer to call the Holy Spirit to be presentand of course the ceremony was under a hoopaHey

Ah Yes... A new day. Friday 6/29/07Both Susana and I had nice lazy mornings sleeping in just a little bit, not too much though. Due to the difficulty in checking in (none of the keys they gave us seemed to work, many attempts at making digital keys were attempted) we were given coupons for a free breakfast at the Buffet. Much to the chagrin of our waitress I must say. At every turn she was

Adventures at Southern Junction:Susana and i arrived just a little bit late for the lesson. they were about 20 minutes or so into the explaining the two step. We quickly placed out food and drink orders and jumped on the floor to learn and try our hands at it.

Why go to Texas?! Well.... One of Susana's close friends from college, Jungo is getting married! Jungo (native Kenyan) is getting married to Igho (native Nigerian raised in England) on Saturday.Thursday morning Bright and early (Ok, it wasn't actually bright at all it was completely dark!) at 3:05 am Susana and I got our ride from a 'Supper Shuttle Van' and left midtown.

Here are my thoughts on the Psalm for today (104):The Lord is strong and mighty! The psalm, to me today, is a reminder of the wisdom and power yet tender mercies of the Lord. He provides food shelter for all living things. He created all the beautiful things AND he maintains them. Even the Lions seek their food from the Lord. All our food is from the Lord, all our rest, our Hope, our peace,

How does a passion for the glory of God relate to compassion for the unbelieving peoples of the world?Five steps for how these two fit together: 1. Compassion pursues the rescue of perishing sinners. 2. Fear of hell by itself saves nobody. 3. Therefore, compassion must not merely warn but also lure to the pleasures of knowing Christ. (Preaching must not only warn but woo.) 4. The key is this:

Once again, I am now officially Older. I realize more and more every day that, despite my current situation, i am more blessed now than I was last year and more blessed now than I have ever been before.I am reminded that the Lord surely has something great (in his mind and plan for me) in store that will Glorify him. What it is and when or how it will happen, I don't know. But I am rejoicing

SCRIPTURE:Mark 9:14-29 (ESV)14 And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them. 15 And immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed and ran up to him and greeted him. 16 And he asked them, ‘What are you arguing about with them?’ 17 And someone from the crowd answered him, ‘Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a

As Christians we Garner our Joy from the Lord.This is done so in 2 ways:We get Joy in1. Taking on the suffering of Christ - as we suffer through this Life we can identify, in a small way, with the suffering that Christ experienced.2.

So we all face problems and bumps in Life. A great example of how God turned evil over in itself is Joseph. Joseph went through the roughest of times. Repeatedly he was loved and then abandoned. God used these experiences to shape him and mold him into the person that he was to become. The savior of the Jewish nation. Trials hit us all. We are shaped by these events as they change us
