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.

I told you I don't believe in coincidences. Right after I posted this entry, I recieved an email that said,

"Please be advised that there has been a sighting of a Black Bear on the property and we have notified the Police Department."

I better run to my car when I get off work today.

"The park said it plans now to move the macaques to another part of the park."

They are probably worried the macaques will seek revenge against the sloth bears. They are, after all, wild animals.

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...
