LESSON FROM JACK BAUER
Having some spare time after the end of the semester, I got a chance to finish watching the latest season of the "24." Couple scenes just caught my very attention.
Remember the super CTU agent Jack Bauer? He is always right about what needs too be done in a crisis. However, other government agents always see/do things the other way no matter how Jack tries to convince them. And usually, when things finally turn out wrong, they would apologize to Jack and say that they are wrong.
Now, here's the good part: Jack never says, "See? I told you so!" Instead, he usually just calmly says, "Don't worry. You just do what you think that is right." Then, he goes on and tries to fix the mess of other people. Wow, what a lesson! If we have the same kindness, patience, and understanding like Jack when we are facing different opinions in church with other brothers and sisters (even though they turn out being wrong), then I believe our heavenly Father would be very pleased!
Um... I guess I would work on this lesson that I've learned, and offer it as a Christmas gift to the baby Jesus! ^.^
Have a wonderful wonderful Christmas time!

GIVE THANKS . THEN WHAT?
If Thanksgiving is a day for reminding us Christians to give thanks . . .. . . then it as well reminds us that we might not have thankful hearts for the rest of the year.
If "faith without deeds is dead" . . .. . . then a thankful heart without corresponding actions in one's daily life also worth nothing.
So, on this particular day, after we've expressed our thankfulness to God . . .. . . then what? Turkey & Party?
I guess I should simply enjoy being all by myself without turkey this time... and have a good time for reflection.
Wish you a wonderful, and yet meaningful, one!

COMPASSION
"And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them..." (Matt 14:14)
"耶穌出來、見有許多的人、就憐憫他們 . . . " (太 14:14)
I'm been thinking for a while concerning what would be the best way to introduce the Compassion International. I guess the following 2 video clips would be better than thousands of written words.

* BAD RECORD *
Woke up a little late this morning. I sped in order to get to church on time for the praise team's practice. This shameful incident is noted here as a reminder for myself! -
COMFORT ZONE
What's our comfort zones? Our stable lives, well-paid jobs, nice families, pretty girl/boyfriends, a restful 8-hour of sleeps, or our loving and caring brothers and sisters in church? If one day our names are called like Abraham, Moses, Daniel, or Isiah, are we dare to challenge ourselves to step out of our comfort zones in order to participate in Jesus "unfinished business" on the earth?Jesus said, "Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" (Mark 8:34-37)
耶穌說 ：「若有人要跟從我、就當捨己、背起他的十字架來跟從我。因為凡要救自己生命的、必喪掉生命。凡為我和福音喪掉生命的、救了生命。人就是賺得全世界、賠上自己的生命、有甚麼益處呢。人還能拿什麼換生命呢。」 （可 8:34-37)
Below is the hit song in our church lately... What would be our responds to God?
