Today's Our Daily Bread Reading

Nikkor 35mm AF-S f2.0
I should but I don't read 'Our Daily Bread' every day

Nikkor 105mm legendary f2.5
Cute 'Father's Day' card given to me when both of them left home for their UCSB college study.

Our Daily Bread 1-14-2014
I surely believe God looks over us and is aware of every aspect of our daily living. What I read this morning applies to what had happened to me yesterday. Though a minor detail, it does count. We sent Kenny Chang to LAX 5:30 am for a Delta flight to Penn. He will be interviewed for med. school study by Penn. State U. tomorrow.

Early morning tea

Maybe a little risky for the empty stomach?  
This tea cup works just right for a lazy tea pouring style. 

Anna's auntie bought this tea pot when visiting San Francisco Chinatown in the 80s.
Shown on the left is a tea pot from Tony Tung, who bought it in Taiwan when touring the beautiful FORMOSA.

This tea cup may be a little collectable since they had been kept in Anna auntie's Ten-Ren tea shop (Chicago Chinatown) for nearly 20+ years.
