The mom Lucky seems to be a pretty good mother overall. She stays with her babies at all times, except when she comes out to eat and drink. Dusty, the dad, made himself another house. It was probably overcrowded in the little igloo. I saw one baby accidentally dragged out when Lucky came out to […]
The hamster babies are 2 days old. We see them wiggling under their mom, and sometimes hear them squeak. Last night, I was freaked out when I saw the mom carry 2 of the babies and left them outside of the nest. Did she leave them out there to die? I read that hamsters will […]
Our hamsters had babies! We counted 7 or 8 huddled together. One little one was outside of the nest. Mike spooned him/her back in, hopefully he/she will not be rejected. Just yesterday, we cleaned out their cage because it was stinking badly. I was marveling at the cozy nest they made from the cotton balls […]
I had an ultrasound on my thyroid this morning, also had some blood taken to check the thyroid function. I’ve had an enlarged thyroid since I was pregnant with Elliot, that was 17 years ago. It has remained about the same size. The endocrinologist tells me it is about 2-3 times the normal size. He […]
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (IThessalonians 5:15) I need to do more of that. Those three commands are interrelated – when you give thanks, you will be joyful; when you are joyful, you will pray; when you pray, you will […]
Acts 15:36-39 “…they had such a sharp disagreement that they parted company…” Isn’t that kind of surprising? Paul and Barnabas, both we would consider “spiritual giants”, had a big fight. The Bible does not say one is right and the other wrong. The way they resolved it was to each do their part in furthering […]
I have such a nice husband. I recall when we first met
“He who has God and everything has no more than he who has God alone.” – C.S. Lewis (?) I may not fully experience the truth of that today, but I will be sure of it at my deathbed. “Everything” will be nothing at death. What will you take with you to eternity? Only life […]
Happy New Year! I asked at dinner, “What are some of the best memories of 2004?” Amy: Disneyland and California Adventures Elliot: Mt Whitney Audrey: Playing Taboo for the first time at the youth retreat. The word was ‘apartment’, and I said, “You go there, and you’re inside.” The time ran out, and Pastor Duane […]
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 were about 6-7 […]
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 […]
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!” get it??????
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 power of the Holy Spirit gives us hope (Rom 15:13) The Holy Spirit talks to us to give […]
“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 […]
Do you have days when you don’t want to do anything? I want to snuggle back in bed and read a book.
