Wedding Crashing

I have been invited to do the scripture reading at my friends Alan and Windy's wedding this coming Saturday. That by itself isn't anything out of the ordinary, but I have also been asked to choose the passage to read. When I at first told them I didn't feel comfortable picking the passage for their wedding, they responded with, "We asked you because you are a dear friend to the both of us and your choice of scripture of reading would be a blessing to us from you."

Frankly, it is downright dangerous to give someone that much power to ruin your wedding. Other than having someone scream out when the pastor asks for objections, a bad scripture reading is definitely the other thing that would throw the ceremony into chaos. Luckily for them, I have not the deviousness in me to pull a prank on them. So to fulfill my responsibility as a good friend, I'm trying my best to think of a passage that will best start their marriage off with.

This actually isn't as easy as it sounds. I don't want to read the usual passages read at most weddings like: 1 Corinthians 13, Colossians 3, and Ephesians 5, but I don't want to give out what I want to be read at my wedding. I am at times tempted to read an entirely obscure and random passage (which would be pretty fun, but then Windy will have my head when I'm done), so the search continues ...

If you have any good suggestions, feel free to send them over!

Fun with Blueberries

I LOVE blueberries! Last night a bunch of us went to my friend Dale's house to pick blueberries in her huge garden. It was so much fun. Other than the fact that it was harsh manual labor that requires you to bend or kneel down and sacrifice your tender flesh to vicious insects, we had a blast. There's really nothing like eating luscious blueberries off the tree, plucking out the biggest berries and stuffing them in your tummy, and of course - blueberry fighting! Needless to say, I ate a lot of blueberries yesterday. *** warning - don't read beyond this point if you're faint of heart *** Despite a pretty weird dream, I was still in blueberry heaven when I woke up this morning. I even brought a whole quart of them to the office and finished them before lunch time. So ... *ahem* ... a surprise came when I went to the bathroom later this morning. After I finished doing my business, I looked and saw GREEN POOP . So here's a word of warning for you, if you eat too ...

I AM COMPUTER ILLITERATE!

*** WARNING! THE FOLLOWING POST IS WRITTEN OUT OF FRUSTRATION, PLEASE EXTEND ME SOME GRACE IF YOU FEEL OFFENDED*** [breathe in] [breathe out] umm .... I feel so much better now, but there is still a bit of angst buried deep within. It all started with a kind gesture, offering to help my parent's friend fix a small problem with his computer. Little did I know, that was the end of my peaceful life at home. Before long, every Asian parent in the fifty mile radius is inviting my family over to their house for dinner. Interestingly, they all want to know the times I am available, and stress that that it would be "an honor" if I would grace them with my presence. Oh yea by the way, maybe I can help them with just a tiny computer issue right after dinner. So for the past few weeks, I have been going from house to house, trying to play the part of the "good son" so my parents can save face with their friends. Even though my parents never force me to go to these e...

Christianity Lite

Several people have told me that I sound angry or bitter in my last post. My response to that is: I'M NOT ANGRY OR BITTER ... haha. Now that's settled, let's risk sounding critical and judgmental with the following post. One of the fears I have for the modern church is that in order to penetrate into the mainstream, the chuch is diluting its message and portraying an unbalanced view of the Gospel. In our strive to change the common stereotype that Christians are intolerant and conservative, churches becoming more and more vague about its beliefs and tenants. Please don't misunderstand, I am all for being more culturally relevant and reaching out to the masses, but not at the cost of compromising our values. Yes, Jesus reached out to the outcasts and "sinners," and we should do the same by displaying love rather than condemnation. But even when Jesus saved the adulterous woman from being stoned in John 8, He said to her after the crowd left, " Neithe...
