Nothing Coincidental

Nothing is coincidental because all are planned by God.
Today the Bible verse for Pastor Rev. Ming Hsu's sermon at Formosa Presbyterian Church, Orange County http://fpcoc.org/ is John 4:31 - 4:38
Meanwhile the disciples were urging Him, saying, "Rabbi, eat." But He said to them, "I have food to eat that you do not know about." So the disciples were saying to one another, "No one brought Him anything to eat, did he?" Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work. 4:35 "Do you not say, 'There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest '? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest. "Already he who reaps is receiving wages and is gathering fruit for life eternal; so that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. "For in this case the saying is true, 'One sows and another reaps.' "I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored and you have entered into their labor."

John 4:35
你們不是說『收割的季節還有四個月才到』嗎?看哪,我告訴你們:舉目向田裡觀望,莊稼已經成熟,可以收割了!
35 Do not ye say, that there are yet four months and the harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes and behold the fields, for they are already white to harvest.

John 4:35 is connected to Matthew 9:37 in Adrian Rogers Legacy Bible:
於是他對自己的門徒們說:「收割的工作多,而工人少。9:38 所以你們要祈求收割的主催促工人參與他的收割工作。」
37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.   38“Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”

 In the following story I read a moment ago, the author cited Matthew 9:35 - 9:38 twice on page 3.

College Years On-Campus Pictures

Taita boys' dorm no. 5
My roommate, majoring in civil engineering, was two years senior.  Currently 中央大學 張奉文教授used to call him 阿潔 (仔) .  I admired his handsome look and his fashionable dress.  We talked a lot and became very close to each other.  He was on the spotlight because, for a fee, he took the nationwide college entrance examinations for two persons and both of them got admitted to Taita.  He won heartfelt sympathy from many female journalists when he appeared in court.  The 'hired gun' scandal 槍手案 was well published in 1967 - 1968.

Restoration of 1968 Color Picture 

This was my team hiking on Taiwan East-West Trans Highway during the 1968 Taita junior year winter break.  Except me and three Taita business college girl students, they were overseas students. This was my very first color picture (taken on a bridge near Hualien Taroko).
