Signs of OLD AGE

The two most anticipated weekends of Spring are here: this weekend I'm heading up to New Hampshire and retreat to the woods with a bunch of brothers to throw my friend Matt one last bash before his wedding next weekend (Congrats Matt & AJ). There's really only a few things better than getting dirty and bonding with the guys out in the woods. We all need to retreat from our overly technological lifestyles and return back to simplicity.

Next weekend is the wedding!!! Woohoo! I love weddings! They are so much fun, and it'll be basically a big big reunion for all my college friends so it'll be a blast. Even though I haven't seen so many of them in so long, I just know it'll be just like old times when we meet up again. Funny that lately I've been very nostalgic about my college days. In some ways, I want to go back to that type of lifestyle ... classes, sleep, study, hang out and have fun ... who wouldn't want to do that over again?

Yes, and being back in the college years means my body wouldn't be deteriorating. Supposedly, once you reach 25, it's all downhill from there. Even though I don't really believe that LIE FROM DEPTHS OF HELL, I still have some fears as I grow older and older. Today I was filling out a registration form for a conference that I want to attend, and listed under "age group" was *18-24*, *25-30* ... etc. That really took me for a ride, and I was a bit taken back that soon I'd be in the 25-30 age range. Think about it ... that means I should be married and having babies while bbq-ing on Sundays with my soon-to-be-balding friends. *sigh* woe to me! AHHH ... and I'm going to a wedding again next weekend. It's so bittersweet.

Disclaimer: I don't know what's wrong with me, I must've gone through a temporary mental lapse when I wrote the entry above ... I love growing older ... ehh ... right ...

Why I love Kroger

Hello friends. It has been four long months since my last post, so if you are reading this, that means you are a true friend. My favorite neighborhood grocery store was having a sale on blueberries today. They were selling a 6 oz box for $1 (as opposed to $4.99) for "plus members", so wanted to picked up 6 boxes of it. During checkout, I tried to input my "plus card" info using my phone number but couldn't get it to work, . So I called the cashier over to help me. "Hi. For some reason my plus card isn't working. I put my phone number in and it does't recognize it but it worked last night." "Enter your phone number in again" (slightly annoyed) "I tried it 4 times already" "Sir, the reason it doesn't work is because you are typing in the wrong area code. You pressed 732 instead of 734" "... ... ... my area code is 732" "oh ... then I can't help you, sorry" Not only did she assume tha...

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...

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...
