A couple days ago (on Tuesday), we went over John 5:1-15 in my small group. But i had to pause at one verse.

"When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had already been a long time in that condition, He said to him, "Do you wish to get well?" John 5:6 nasb.

Jesus asked the sick man if he wanted to get well... Jesus cares... but it seems like it's us that needs to answer and tell him, "Yes, I do wish to get well." In this situation, we see that Jesus first approached the sick man, and not the other way around. Jesus wants to bless us. Bless me! And move into my life. We just need to let him do it. Too often do I let myself get in the way. Too often do I worry. Too often do I just wait... I need to go to him and respond.

I don't know, the more I think about it, it's like God telling me to just come to him. I sit everyday worrying about what's going to happen next. I sit here and worry about my life. Going crazy in my head. But here comes Jesus, and he's asking me, "Do you wish to get well?"

Here is a great short article on foreign missionaries to Korea. Next time I go to Korea, I want to take a visit here.

I read an intriguing blog piece by Prof Soong-Chan Rah.
connecting movies (Avatar, a super movie!!!).. the messianic themes.. and connecting that even further with our own Christian lives in missions and cross cultural communication..

so.. more ways to look to waste time!

last time 3 years ago when i went to Urbana...
St. Louis just got ranked as the most dangerous city in the US.
i'm gonna go again this year.. and i just read how it's been ranked 1 as the worst city for asthma...
bad air quality huh... =/

a key to waking up early.. is too go to sleep early...
haha. i've been waking up pretty early lately... for the past few weeks i have been waking up late.. but that would be because i'd be sleeping superly ultra late..
but i guessed i've reached that point where my internal clock has become flip flopped that i just need to sleep earlier.
but then... these past few days, i would first end up sleeping in my roommate's bed.. and then i'd go to my bed... unless he's already sleeping on my bed.. but i can bank on him sleeping super late so i'm good.

So is it weird to go watch a movie by yourself?
I think at first, you can say so. But, there has been times when I've gone to watch movies by myself... The soli movi time, as I'd like to say.
It shouldn't be weird.
It's just me and the screen. I'm sure you'll agree with me when I say, watching a movie does not take a group effort. It doesn't take a group effort to laugh. It doesn't take a group effort to cry (For me... Definitely not a group effort for me. hahaaa).
But I guess you can make the case in saying that laughing in a funny movie with your friends, it's a good feeling..
but still..


but then why do i feel so weird about going to a concert by myself.. haha~
dont worry.  i ended up not going...

hmm.. maybe this is just a case of 'i have no friends' hahahaha. blaahhaha! just kidding.
