A thought on my 臉書,面子書, facebook

我的臉書,面子書, facebook 
(August 12, 2014)


我在外面喝這個咖啡,那個咖啡,結果回到家來喝自己作的咖啡,說這麽是這個味道呢? 2 到 3 分鐘以後 才慢慢醒過來,確定是這個味道没錯。我看花花公子也是這樣吧??

Me and my son Kenny spent 6 days driving a new 2014 Camry from Fullerton to Darien, Illinois because Kenny will be studying DO at Midwestern University, Downers Grove, Illinois.  I had drunk three times Caribou coffee in Downers Grove (5 stars), Caffe BACI coffee in Downtown Chicago (4 stars) and Biggby coffee in Champaign (2 stars). After being away for 2 and 1/2 weeks, I was home again to make my sea-salt-roasted Ethiopian coffee.  The coffee tasted so strange to me.  Only a few minutes later I could assure myself of its unrivaled magnificent flavor.

FYI, original posting on facebook 'What's on your mind' is as follows:

Vacationing is the idea of the west, I think. 
Chinese work around the year. So, any day in the year one goes to Chinatown, he won't be surprised to see stores not open. I had broken away from my daily 'mechanical' routines for 2 and 1/2 weeks because I committed myself to sharing driving the new Camry with Kenny over a journey of about 2016 miles (Wiki answer between LA and Chicago) and to a short stay in Darien, Illinois. Today I had to jump start our Acura Legend (22 years old). Then I found myself not very used to driving on Euclid street. It soon became clear that cars running in Darien and Downers Grove, Illinois are far less than here. On the 2nd day when picking up my erhu (Chinese violin), I was all prepared to struggle playing anything on the instrument. To my big big surprise, I found my fingers moving and flexing agilely on the strings and my erhu sound was never so alive and beautiful. I just realized letting my fingers take a short vacation is, after all, beneficial. Perhaps it will also do good to my ping pong because I have had hard time getting rid of much of those stubborn bad habit (incorrect body swing and other things).

Rest is part of life. Similarly, a rest in music also constitutes the melody. God creates the world in 6 days and He rests in the seventh day. I guess I can be a pastor, haha .... please don't laugh !!!


同樣的道理, 我們當基督徒的,每一天定要和上帝有 'quiet time',不能從早忙到晚, 馬不停蹄,大家同意嗎?

A time to shine

For everything there is a season, 


A time to shine and a time to fade away.

Wednesday, October 23, 2013

For everything there is a season,

 For everything there is a season,
A time to be young and and a time to be old;
a time to be radiant and a time to be obscure.

First Love

  一系列的陰錯陽差,成就了刻骨銘心的初纞。
Words of wisdom at 64


 If it bears fruit, it is not first love.

Our Daily Bread
September 3  Why We Work

... Why we do what we do is extremely important, particularly when it comes to our working lives and careers.  That's why Paul challenged the Ephesians to do their work, "not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men" (Eph. 6:6-7).

Be not always wanting some other work to do, but gratefully perform the task the Lord has given you. - Anon.

(Being busy with earthly tasks, I have not read this devotion pamphlet for quite a while. I grabbed one on my desk and it was September 2012.)
