            As I was reading up on the news this morning, I found out that on Monday night, the winner of Miss Universe 2007 was a 20 year old Japanese dancer name Akiko Kojima. First of all, I don’t think in my lifetime I have seen an Asian person win Miss […]

One of my members drove me to the airport this past Sunday. He found out that I was running the 10K with Christina and a few of the other members in our church. When he was in high school he shared about his “Super Saturdays.” He and his friend would start off in the morning […]

This morning, even though I was in Chicago, I tried to keep my running regiment for the big 10K run. For some reason, I decided to run with the soundtrack of Braveheart. As I was running with the music, I came to a realization. The progression of the music flowed nicely with the progression of […]

I just came back from the first night of the Single Adult Retreat. It was great worshipping with the “older” crowd in our church. In the message, the “one thing” that I shared was – “A heart devoted to God will live out the purposes of God.” We looked into the life of King Solomon […]

        Today, Josiah and his Ann Arbor Arsenal Team participated in the Canton Cup Tournament. It is a pretty historic tournament with close to 500+ teams all over Michigan coming together to compete. Every time I go to Josiah’s games, it brings back memories of the “glory days” of when I played […]

It seems like the town of Lake Geneva is a motorcycle town. Within the last few days, I have seen so many people on motorcycles. I have also seen many different types of bikes… with many different types of people riding on them. As I was going to the coffee shop, I happened to notice […]

After the evening worship service was over, I went to my room to check the score of the Bulls and Pistons game. It was a sad evening. Well, the positive thing is that the Bulls have a lot to build upon for next year. For some reason this reminded me a lot of the rivalry […]

I have finally found the right music to run with today. It was so obvious that it did not cross my mind. I have tried techno music to pump me up, but it wasn’t doing it for me. I tried Christian music but I felt like I had to preach soon. I even tried love […]

The worship team and I will be heading out to a Chinese Christian Union Church (CCUC) college retreat starting tomorrow. One of the encouraging things about working on a college campus is being connected to so many people. Once students graduate and go to various places around the world, there is an instant network that […]

Christina and I woke up at 3:30AM on Sunday early morning to get ready for our 6AM flight. I was in a dilemma – I knew if I slept that I would never get up, therefore I ended up staying up for most of the night. We were originally planning on having a Mother’s Day […]

I was waiting for Christina to arrive from Ann Arbor last night. But she kept on calling from the airport saying that the flight was delay due to a fuel leak. Then towards the start of the summit, she called again and said that the pilot could not fly because he has reached the maximum […]

The TLT (trans-local team) and I went out for lunch. The hotel concierge told us about a good Italian restaurant (authentic). As soon as we drove into the neighborhood, you got a sense that it was from the television show, “The Sopranos”. As we were about to walk into the restaurant, I told the other […]

Some of the guys in our church were able to snag some playoff tickets and invited me to come join them. Now in retrospect, I think they wanted to humble me since they know that I am a Bulls fan. One of them even mentioned that they had a Chicago Bulls’ Michael Jordon retro jersey… […]

Today was Elliot’s official birthday so the family and I went out to celebrate it together. It is becoming our tradition to allow the birthday person to select the restaurant they want to go to. Elliot chose Macaroni Grill. Later, Elliot told us that he chose that place because they have the best chocolate cake […]
