Japan has been going down for 20 years or so... and Korea is a lot like Japan in
many aspects... Europe and U.S. also have their own financial and economic problems.
China looks prospering now, but it's not so much different from other neighbors.
sometimes i am worried about our future where there is no hope... it's been a while
since the last time the whole world got in a big trouble like WWII. if this economic
issues keep going negatively for a while, we don't know what's going to happen to us.
people are not holy, smart or kind in nature. once they get hungry for whatever it is,
(it could be food, it could be power or anything) they can get crazy enough to make
stupid decisions like a war. then we are going to have to suffer such terrible times
no matter how badly we try to avoid... it's not that far from now when millions of people
died in wars. then, probably, ph.d. degree is not so much worth or helpful. the current
social system will break down. and everybody will act just like an animal following
their sinful desires... the first power (physical power) will dominate the world again.
all the christians will have to suffer for not following the animal desire but to follow
their christian faith or principles... it could be exactly the same as the situation described
in 2 Timothy, where Paul said about the gloomy and troublesome future ahead of us.
Maranatha! Maranatha! Amen, Lord Jesus, Come!!! Soon!!!

아... 스타비전...
스타비전테크날러지 회사가 몇일전 부도신청 했답니다...
최근 점점 사정이 좋지 않다는 얘기를 듣긴 했지만, 이렇게 되고나니 마음이 무겁습니다.
제 박사과정 학비와 생활비를 후원(?) 해준 회사거든요...
제가 텍사스 있을 때 별로 도움이 많이 되어주지 못해 미안한 마음도 있고,
마치 부도나기 직전 저만 이렇게 빠져나온 듯한 미안한 느낌도 있습니다...
사장님 마이크, 보스 아눕, 경리아줌마 게일, 그리고 다른 모든 직원들에게
그분이 더 좋은 것들로 각자에게 필요하고도 넘치도록 채워주시길... 기도합니다.
늘 그렇듯이 그분의 일하시는 방법은 참 눈물나게 아플때가 많습니다... 얄미울만큼...
그분의 그 "놀랍다"는 계획을 기다리며...

“He advised Hopkins that if he wanted to become familiar with the nature of Christian
belief, to begin by giving alms and giving to the point of personal inconvenience, so that
something that you wanted to do, you wouldn’t be able to do because you had given goods
to the poor,” Mr. Anderson said. “It’s not giving to the point of utter impoverishment, but
it’s not just giving pocket change either.”
i think this is a pretty fine answer: "to the point of personal inconvenience"
