She's Baaaaaaack!

My sister is coming back home tomorrow after a 4-month study abroad program in London. This means the house will finally be back to its full glory. I must admit I'm excited to have her back home for the summer as it's always great to have my sister around. Here are a few reasons why:

1) One more body lounging around the house means more entertainment for me. Someone to watch movies with and frolic around with
2) My knowledge on pop culture will undoubtedly increase exponentially as my sister will surely update me on all the sleazy stuff happening in Hollywood
3) One more person I'll make read my books ... the books on deck are: City of God by Augustine, Blue like Jazz by Donald Miller, Stiff by Mary Roach
4) One more person I can get my books from ... the last Harry Potter book has been sitting on my desk untouched for the past 6 months now
5) I will learn more about my skin - surely she will make me do facial masks with her and teach me once again how to exfoliate my skin effectively
6) I will learn how to bend my body in weird positions (Yoga) - I still can't do the lotus position. I'm pretty flexible, but I think my leg doesn't bend that way for some reason
7) One more person to steal some love and attention from my parents, so I don't suffocate from the intense focus of attention. I need some more freedom and independence!!!

Oh I love my sister!

Tim Keller is my Hero!

I happen to LOVE Tim Keller. Here's an article about him on NYTimes several weeks ago. When I was in East Asia, Keller would preach to us almost every Sunday through my trusty MP3 player. I listened to him for two years before I finally saw him face to face when I visited Redeemer last July. I can still remember how I couldn't focus on the message that first Sunday because he looked so much different than how I pictured him in my head for two years. Preaching the Word and Quoting the Voice By Michael Luo , Published: February 26, 2006 In the twilight of the biggest snowstorm in New York City's history, the pews of a rented Baptist church on the Upper West Side of Manhattan were packed for the Rev. Timothy J. Keller's fourth sermon of the day. About 4,400 people attend the church; many joined after the Sept. 11 attacks. The 600 or so who braved the snow for the evening service got what they had come to expect — a compelling discourse by Dr. Keller, this time on Jesu...

Big Bad Bears devour Poor Monkey!

I love the discovery channel, I think I can watch that, TLC, and the history channel non-stop for days without stopping. It's just so engaging and interesting, to find out the weird quirky thing that animals do and the dumb things that people do. Because of my love for the discovery channel, I would've loved to have seen this in person. It's not that I have ill feelings toward monkeys, as someone has suggested, but it's just that it would be a perfect illustration of the "survival of the fittest" concept. Plus, it happened at a safari park, it is supposed to emulate the wild! Kudos to the Dutch zoo keepers! So here's a moral for you: Don't mess with big bad bears or live right next to them.

YHWH

God is the most God-centered being in the universe . - John Piper People always asks, "If God created us so that we can glorify Him, doesn't this make Him pretty vain?" Well, I don't think that vain is the correct word for it, but it does make Him very God-centered. Take the Exodus story for example, God appointed Moses to deliver the Israelites from slavery from the hands of the Egyptians. There were ten deadly plagues and God hardens pharaoh's heart time and time again. So ... why did God do that? Let's take a look at some scripture: Exo 7:3,5 "But I will harden Pharaoh's heart that I may multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt ... The Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord , when I stretch out My hand on Egypt and bring out the songs of Israel from their midst. " This theme repeats throughout the next few Chapters (7:17, 8:22, 9:14-16, 12:12, 14:4), God demonstrates His power through these plagues so that both the Israelites a...
