That’s how many friends I have on my facebook. I am listening to a podcast from Boundless. They were referring to a study that the people others can rely on drop a lot more. The discussion was the need for real relations. With these 369 friends, the people I can rely is less than 10. If I was in a car accident, who I will call first…who I can rely on? The irony is that the first...
My parents and my sis went on vacation for the past week and a half. They went to Eastern Europe. As such, I spent the past few days living on my own and taking care of the house. Last night, I spent two hours cleaning my cats’ litter boxes. It was more work than expected. I took the litter boxes out to the front, cleared the litter, hosed them, scrubbed them, dried and put in new litter...
100 km/week, half mary and wine and cheese party… Last week was my last build before the Toronto Marathon (Oct 19th). I ran 100 km for that week. Earlier the week, I was wondering if this is achievable. Granted, I never run this far before. So I am pretty excited and scared to run this far. I was adding up the mileage last night. I did a half marathon yesterday (more to tell) and it added...
Part of the assignment of my ethic course is to do a weekly post. One of the students ask…when is it acceptable for Christian to gamble? Here’s my take on it…I went for a run after I submitted this. I do not think this is a very solid argument as I feel I am missing a feel thing. Please feel free to comment on this…whether you agree or disagree. My whole discussion is...
Interruption As this is the last week building up to my marathon, I was preparing everything I can to make sure I get my targeted runs in. On Wed after my hill runs (great sessions, 10 reps, legs are tired!), I got this text message from a friend: I just learned that twins’ dad passed away. I was saddened when I read it. The twins are my university friends. We worked together in our last...
Boundless blog had a post on success can be a hindrance to marriage. Though the article is focus on successful females, I wonder to myself whether I have the courage to give up success and focus on marriage/relationship. Would I be willing to not work over time to spend more time with love ones at the expanse of a promotion? Will I be able to forgo fancy toys, complacent lifestyle or extravagant...
If we do not come face-to-face with our sin as individuals and as a congregation, we have not seen God, and we have not worshiped Him. – R. Albert Mohler Jr.
A while back, my friend asked me a question. We were discussing Christian living in a materialistic world. As the money we receive is a blessing from God. Where do a Christian draw the line in terms of buying things? What about brand names? In Matthew 5, Jesus taught the His disciples the Beatitudes… Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 5:3). In an...
Preparation The weekend was very relaxing for me. I took 2-3 hour day on Sat and Sun. Lazy around the house. I took the bike out. I hadn’t touch it for a long time. I spent last night lining up all my running gears for each day. It looks like I need to do laundry in mid week as I only have four pair of shorts/pants to train with. I also spent last night ironing my work clothes for the rest...
Since Dec 25 last year after I signed a contract to God I will seek Him first in everything I do, I’ve been slowly working on my financial matters. As part of ushering ministry and part of collecting tithes, I am obligated to be faithful to God in the money I was blessed. Or else I become a hypocrite. How can I tell others to put money in the offering bag when I don’t do that myself...
