when anxiety was great within me...

when I said, "my foot is slipping," your love, o Lord, supported me. 
when anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.
(psalms 94:18~19, niv)

this will also pass away... again...

this semester is ... 
but this will also pass away... again and again... as always...
life... is like this... an endless series of uncomfortablness.... until he comes back... 
maranata... 

protocol...

usually, there is some communication protocol between two...
let's say one of them stick to the protocol and the other doesn't. 

then the former one is the one who gets hurt all the time... because he/she is too thoughtful and cares too much... 
and the latter one seems always happy... because he/she is ignorant... and rude... there is nothing for him/her to care about...

yes... st. paul is right. the world is not fair... it is really not... 

hope...

even when there was no reason for hope, 
Abraham kept hoping - believing that he would become the father of many nations. 
- somewhere in Romans chapter 4. 

oh my u.s.


the u.s. can not do what every other country can do, when it comes to health insurance. 
rediculously stupid.... 

Stephen Kim Sou Hwan.



he was a great leadership to us... 
i am very sorry that we lost him now.... 

and i am more sorry that we don't have anyone like him in korea and korean christianity...

Lincoln....



this article will give you more information on Lincoln (the 16th president of the u.s.), whose faith you probably misunderstand....

before just saying "hopeless"

Abraham was first named "father" and then became a father
because he dared to trust God to do what only God could do: 
raise the dead to life, with a word make something out of nonthing. 

when everything was hopeless, Abraham believed anyway, 
deciding to live not on the basis of what he saw he couldn't do but on what God said He would do. 

(Romans 4: 17-18, the Message)

obviously, long time ago, He promised something...  i couldn't understand what it was exactly though.... 
but no matter what it is (and, it wouldn't matter), now it is hopeless.... yes... everything is hopeless... 

can i belive anyway? 
deciding to live not on what i saw i can't do but on what He would do?
how? HOW???????????????????????

marriage...

recently, often, pretty often, i've got this kind of question.
"what do you think of marriage?" or "when are you going to get married?"
or even "what kind of girls do you like?"

whenever i get these questions, i get embarrassed a little.
i don't know how to answer them and i am not thinking of it recently... and i don't think it's the way to go right now...

there is a proper time for everything as Solomon said...
it's time not to ask that kind of question to henry. ok? :)

serial killer.

recently, almost everyday... there are some articles on the serial killer in korea. 

they say he is usually a normal person but sometimes he got crazy... 
i got scared by myself... who i know also can be crazy all of a sudden... so far i've been ok luckly enough... but who knows. 

who knows... we are all desperately weak... that's why (or because) we are human not God.. 
i feel sorry for him... who is like the insane man between tombs naked in the New Testment. 

misunderstanding...

Kant is right. 
given a same situation, people think in different ways...
understanding is more likely about what is going on in our mind... 

when 10 people see me, they get to "understand" me in 10 different ways and finally they get to make 10 different "me"s... (which are not "me" at all, but they think they are "me"s) which is where all the misunderstanding comes from... 

Kant is so much right.  and those misunderstandings are inevitable.... we are so helpless... :(
