Time

This year, I was faced with a few difficult decisions which needed to be dealt with. There are chosen few who are in the know and had helped me made my decision. I do not know what I was going to do without them. For these people, I would like to say thank you.

NBA

I've went to GM Place for Phonix vs Sonics game tonight. It's fun, and I can safely say that I would never reach those NBA stars' basketball skill level. I can cross this one out of my list now.

I used to have this dream to be a basketball star. Now I know that it is not for me. Not only the techniques, but it's everything else, it's about the lifestyle, the snap decision making, the determination, the drive to be a star of anything. It takes a special person to be playing at NBA, else it will never be a good fit for the game and you.

Hope everybody is having a pleasant weekend.

Mac Geek

I along with other hardcore mac geek, had pre-ordered the newest Mac OS X: Leopard. I'm super excited, and looking toward having this software that can solve every problem I've ever had. Ok, maybe not this dramatic. Who does not know material things cannot elevate ourself toward the highest goal of human: self-actualization. But still, I'm excited about it, to make my computing life easier, more eye candies, waste less time on the computer waiting. The last point is not true, I would probably squander the extra time from it. That sort of remind me the thought I had today: everybody have given the same resource - time. How do we use this resource is up to us.

Journey

I feel God is molding me. Going on a journey means I'm willing to step out with the first step. Little did I know then that God had first pull my hand, and I staggered out on my first step.

By my own might, I would have never accomplished things worth mentioning. In surrender, then God would be teaching me to learn a new way. Years of arrogant had made me hard-headed and prideful.

Matthew 6:32
For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.


I think that the strong men are the ones who plow thru life humble and persistent. Those men are not looking for fame and flashy titles, but to seek the will of God. With time, God's glory would reflect off them and in turns, people would recognize who they are and their strong core values. That might be what's said in the Bible.

Mark 10:31
"I tell you the truth," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—and with them, persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last first."

Just a thought.

Romans 8:36

As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Discern & Wait

What should I compare you to? Do you exist at all? Why is everybody looking for you? Some even take their own lives in seeking. I'm talking about true love. Is true love one thing that you can hold on to, or not holding on to? Is it something you can control? Maybe it's a collection of emotion, feelings and acts. I wish I'm not as sinful as I am. I wish I can enjoy a life with constant communication with God. I wish for God's kingdom to be established here, wipe away all the tears from the suffering ones, to show mercy, justice and love to all. No one can escape death. Maybe it's the terminal to Him. -- P.S. Don't worry. I'm not sad, depressed or suicidal. It's an exempt of my view, and to some, it's merely a rant.

Autumn is here!
