You can do something and have no recollection that you did it. A scary thought.
I had a library book that was due. I searched for it in order to return it before the due date, couldn’t find it, and thought I lost it. When Mike checked my library account, it showed that it was [...]
The last time Mike and I went somewhere overnight without the children was before Amy was born. We went to Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas, both times were for semi-business when Century 21 was promoting the sale of Mexico property. I remember leaving Elliot and Audrey with friends for 2 days; they [...]
Christmas is 5 days away. I love this season. This and Easter are the two holidays that Christians should get excited about.
Yes, I know the world is trying to take out the “religious” aspects. People call it Winter Holiday and Spring Holiday; it’s all about Santa and Easter bunnies. Sure, they can take away the [...]
It is a fact that a strong work ethic is a culturally Asian characteristic, not just of immigrant Chinese who are here to make a better life for their kids, but mainland Chinese are high achievers too. I think the same is true for Jews and Indians. It is a value subtly passed on in [...]
It’s almost the end of 2004. Remember all the hype about Y2K, start of a new century? All that is already in the distant past. My life on earth is at least 50% over, most likely more than that. However, compare to life in eternity with God, I’ve barely started. What a hope I have [...]
what did zero say to eight?
“nice belt!”

Guest teacher in Amy’s class: “If you are from Portugal, you are…..”
Student: “Puerto Rican!”
Guest teacher: “If you are from Portugal, you are Portugese. When you get old, you are a Portugeser!”

We often refer to the “power of the Holy Spirit” in the sense of performing miraculous acts - healing, speaking in tongues, and the like.
But we need to give the Holy Spirit credit for more.

The Holy Spirit talks to us to give us instructions [...]
“Can you spare some change for some food?”
“No, I don’t want to give you money, but, here, I will buy you a hot dog.”
Just next to us was a hot dog stand. The man was hesitant. I think he would rather have the money. But he ate the hot dog.
I didn’t do that kind deed. [...]
Do you have days when you don’t want to do anything? I want to snuggle back in bed and read a book.
Scenerio: Amy was told to clean up her piles of toys and papers all over the living room.
I said to Amy, in a harsh tone, “You have all these nice things to play with - toys, markers, papers, beads. I buy all these things for you to enjoy. I don’t want to hear you [...]
Do you like the puppy below? I got it from Amy!
On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings I am the receptionist at the Arcadia office. It’s quiet there, and I use that time to pray and study the Bible. I am thankful to God for providing this quiet time for me while helping Mike at the [...]
adopt your own virtual pet!
Amy says she loves the rain. I don’t. But I am thankful for a roof over my head. Last night, due to the sound of the rain and wind, I kept waking up. The thought that came to my mind in the middle of the night was, “God, help the homeless, that they find shelter [...]

Acts 8:4 “Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went.”
The persecution of Christians caused the believers to scatter throughout Judea and Samaria, thus expanded the preaching of the gospel to territories outside of Jerusalem. If not for the persecution, the Christians would’ve been happy building their 3000+ member church in Jerusalem. They [...]
Audrey’s dog Chocolate did fairly well at the groomers yesterday. The last time we went, the pet store called me to pick him up because he wouldn’t cooperate. This time, he did take to this groomer, who is probably more experienced with fisty little dogs.
However, Chocolate was not completely done when we picked him up [...]
Last night, the girls and I were reading the Russian fairy tale of Finist the Handsome Falcon. The Falcon turns into a handsome prince when he comes to visit his beloved beautiful maiden. When her evil sisters found out, they hid knives at the window sill. When he tried to fly through the maiden’s window, [...]
