happy halloween

sorry its been so long since i last posted. i've been lazy thats all.

this weekend is the first weekend i've had off of leading worship at church for a long time. so how am i going to spend it? i'm going to the shanghai PTQ on sunday! its a sealed deck format, and i feel i'm pretty good at that. my goal is to win. i'll fill you all in on how i did after the event.

I've been reading "Crazy Love" by Francis chan and i find it pretty engaging. we all know how Francis has a way with delivering the message in a straight forward and practical way. i love that about him. the book has caused me to really think about why Christians do things and is that really loving God, by feeling guilty for not doing "Christian" things, like devotion. instead he reminds us that devotion should come from love. if we really love him, then we should be devoted. he asks the question if we arent doing things out of love, like devotion, should we stop and reevaluate?

Mai Kao has been wonderful to me lately. she's been extremely affectionate and loving. thanks Jesus for M.K.

josh out.

completely BOGUS thoughts. don't be offended!

These aren't true in real life. Like the title of this post, these are really bogus. But upon personal reflection, I can't help but wonder or feel this way about these things

1. Deep down inside, I think I feel that left-handed people are slightly inferior. Really. I mean, when I notice or learn that some one is left-handed, I think, "hey that's cool! Wish i was left handed." But at the same time, I think, "What's with the parents that they let the kid be left-handed?"

Speaking of left handed, today, Josh lied to one of his students that his cousin Vipat could write with both hands at the same time. He never flinched once as they told this untruth. The kid bought it hook, line, and sinker.

2. Do black people eat sushi? That's total racist, I know! But I swear to you, I've never eaten in a sushi place, and ever seen a black person there. Never, not once that i can remember.

3. Having so many boy students, i can't help but think about them and gripe all day long. i've concluded, no wonder God created Eve. boys are seriously crazy and wild. major props to the moms who've raised armies of boys and had no daughters.

Phew!

Talk about long time no post! The real reason we don't like to post is because we can't seem to get Witopia to work, so will still have to use proxy sites like vtunnel to access xanga and blogger. It's no fun at all.

BUNNIES: Josh and I had lunch together the other day and as we were sitting there waiting for food, I looked out the window and asked, " Is that man selling dead baby bunnies?" He was wheeling this cart around and in a cage, there were little piles of white furry stuff. I knew it couldn't possibly be it, but I just found it amusing because being in China, he actually could be selling them for all we knew!

TL:We didn't have enough time in Thailand. I would like to go back some time. The only frustrating thing is that we don't speak Thai.

FALL: It's a beautiful fall in Shanghai, and we wish you all could be here. One of my daily things I love to do is walk around and look at the trees while listening to music. I've grown to love this place, and it will be sad when we leave it.

BIGGEST LOSER: Josh isn't exercising. He isn't losing weight. I'm ratting on him, like a bad 3rd grader. I'm exercising and trying to be mindful of my diet. But my ultimate downfall will be my love for potato chips and dessert. I ate a deep fried chocolate pie from McDonald's yesterday. How bad is that??!...must...fight...must...

CHURCH: Josh is pretty busy now these days with church. He's leading worship service or prayer service almost on a weekly basis. It tires him, but I know he loves it all the same. We're thankful that the prayer house has moved closer to us, so our evenings aren't so late.

DRAMAS: I'm currently tuned in to: You're Beautiful, Smile, You, and Autumn's Concerto. I protest Iris because I want to stay loyal to You're Beautiful. If you know what I'm talking about, you're awesome!

FOOD: I still love to cook for Josh, and I've begun packing bento lunches for him. You know what's the yummiest sushi? The kind that has a tempura of some sort in it! *sigh* It's too delicious.

MAGIC: Jost has spent a little too much money on Magic lately. He says it's an "investment." You know what I don't like about Magic investments? They lose value too fast for my liking!

MALAYSIA: I think Americans don't think much about Malaysia. But have you seen pictures of some places in Malaysia? I've never wanted to go to a tropical place, but we're definitly considering going here as a next trip!

OK. Bye.
