Cute Little Fellas

My sis was "babysitting" for her friend's hamsters for the past week. 6 fat and chubby ones... really adorable. Caught them cuddling together on Sunday night when the weather was so cold due to the heavy downpour...

Weeweechu

One beautiful December evening Huan Cho and his girlfriend Jung Lee were sitting by the side of the ocean. It was a romantic full moon, when Huan Cho said "Hey baby, how about Doing Weeweechu?" "Oh no, not now, let's look at the moon" said Jung Lee. "Oh, c'mon baby, let's you and I do Weeweechu. I love you and it's the perfect time," Huan Cho begged.

"But I rather just hold your hand and watch the moon." "Please Jung Lee, just once do Weeweechu with me." Jung Lee looked at Huan Cho and said, "Ok ok, we'll do Weeweechu."....










Huan Cho grabbed his guitar and both sang...."Weeweechu a melly Chlistmas, Weeweechu a melly Chlistmas, Weeweechu a melly Chlistmas, and a huppy New Year."

10 Questions To Ask To Make Sure I'm Still Growing... Spiritually

Am I more like Jesus than I was a year ago? 2006 is coming to an end. It's time to reflect on 2006 and set my eyes on 2007... it's gonna be a new beginning...

1. Am I more thirsty for God than ever before?

2. Am I more and more loving?

3. Am I more sensitive to and aware of God than ever before?

4. Am I governed more and more by God's Word?

5. Am I concerned more and more with the physical and spiritual needs of others?

6. Am I more and more concerned with the Church and the Kingdom of God?

7. Are the disciplines of the Christian life more and more important to me?

8. Am I more and more aware of my sin?

9. Am I more and more willing to forgive others?

10. Am I thinking more and more of heaven and of being with the Lord Jesus?

Dear God, give me strength and courage to face my ownself. Help me to deal with my own life in areas that have dishonoured You. Let Your Spirit flow in me that I shall thirst for You more. Cleanse me of any unrighteousness. May Your words be the lamp of my feet and the light of my path. Bring in me a new life that not only will I bear the fruit of the Spirit, I shall also put on the armour at all times to be Your great and mighty warrior in Your kingdom. Make me look not just at my own needs, but rather, help me to be more loving towards others and be sensitive to their needs. Hear my prayers, oh God...

God have mercy... In Jesus' name, amen.

面孔的奥妙

上帝为每个人创造了一张独特的面孔，大小约相等于手指伸展开时的大小。然而，在这小小的地方上，却同样包含了数种不同的水……

从眼睛流出来的水是咸的；
从耳朵里流出来的水带油性；
从鼻子流出来的水有臭味；
从口里流出来的水却是甜的。

从眼睛流出来的水是眼泪。眼泪为什么是咸的呢？因为人如果为了伤心而不停地哭，就会哭瞎了眼睛；上帝令眼泪是咸的，不停哭会令眼睛难受，所以人便不会无休止地哭泣。

从鼻孔流出来的水是鼻涕，鼻涕为什么有臭味呢？因为人若吸进一些不好的气味便会死去，所以上帝赐人有鼻涕好保护他。

从耳朵流出来的水带有油性，为什么呢？因为人听到坏消息时，总会承受一定的冲击，若时常记挂予心，便会忧心而死，所以上帝为耳朵中的水加点油份，好让坏消息可以较轻易从左耳入，右耳出。

从口中流出来的是唾液，唾液为什么是甜的呢？因为人有时吃了讨厌的东西会呕吐，身心虚脱，所以上帝使人的唾液是甜的，那么人的灵魂才会返回来。

God is good! (Part 2)

God is really wonderful! He is Jehovah Jireh who provides!

Just got back my Greek Exam results yesterday. Scored 29/30 for it! With that and all my other tests results, it is confirmed an A for my Greek 1 module. Praise the Lord! It is indeed a great encouragement for me to press on for Greek 2 in the next semester.

The surprise did not end here. Just this morning, I recalled my scholarship application for my theological studies which I have submitted in June. The coordinator mentioned that I should be hearing from them in Nov. But thus far, no news. So I decided to drop her an email after lunch just now. In just less than 5 mins, she replied and said that my application is approved!!! YEAH!

GOD IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME;
AND ALL THE TIME, GOD IS GOOD!

Life - Chronos and Kairos

“Life is a series of changes—a process of going from the old to the new—from chronos (refers to the general process of time or chronological time) to kairos (refers to the right time, the opportune or strategic time, the now time). Growth, change, revival—all are processes. Life is connected. Not understanding this, we tend to despise the chronos times of preparing, sowing, believing and persevering. We’re not losing or wasting time, we’re investing it. And if we do so faithfully, the shift will come.”

“生命是一连串的改变；它是一段汰旧换新的过程；是从平常（chronos，泛指时间的演进）以至非常（kairos，指恰当、关键的时机或立刻）的过程。成长、改变和恢复，都是一个过程。生命是连贯而非片断的，少了这层认识，便是轻看预备、撒种、相信与坚忍的平常时节。我们其实并没有失去或浪费任何时间，那是一个投资。只要忠心地持守下去，转变的时刻终将来到。”

Here's another funny clip taken during the RYM camp. All thanks to KK's great idea!

God is good!

今天早晨起床后，心情并不是很好。或许也已经好久没有那么迟才起床，一整个早上显得有点“手足无措”，不知道要做什么好。总的来说，可以用一个“显”字来形容（注：“显”乃是福建话，意思是“闷”）。

就在大约10.30am，手机突然响起，收到了一则简讯。拿起电话一看，原来是我的“新约解经”老师潘博士。刹那间，心里头突然感到紧张万分，心想：糟糕！一定是我的期末解经专文写得不好，要重做了！心中的担忧并非没有理由的。刚过的这个学期，尤其是“新约解经”这一课，成绩都不是很理想。4个各10分的小报告，不是7分就是6分。20分的呈现（presentation）更是不堪设想，才拿11分！（这《启示录》可真是要了我的“命”！）所以啊！这最后的40分专文不得不加把劲儿才行！虽然能够赶在期限那天交上，心中还是忐忑不安，不晓得是否有做到“解经”，还是在“胡扯”……

终于鼓起勇气面对“现实”，手指继续往下按，将“判决”看完。潘老师写到：
"Junhui, in e midst of stressful marking of assignments..." Stressful? 完蛋！"... i'm glad u hv done such a piece of good work tt gives me some relief and lifts my spirit up! Thks! Dr Phua" WOW!!! I just can't believe my eyes!!!

看完之后，心中的喜悦是非以笔墨能所形容。我急忙回了个简讯给老师谢谢他。那儿知道没过多久，他又回复，还说他给了我38分，甚至希望我看完他在报告上的评语后，将文章做些修改，再考虑去投稿，看是否能够在一些学术期刊上刊载。WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! I REALLY CANNOT BELIEVE MY EYES!!! 你知道吗？潘老师可是出了名的严（aka “猫”，福建话，吝啬的意思），要从他手中拿高分真的是不容易。如今还能够得到他的赞赏，真时高兴。

感谢上帝……

“但愿荣耀归于神，直到永永远远，阿门。”
