The Dentist

I feel like I'm on a roll , last night I answered my first question in a long time and now I'm blogging here. Perhaps I am getting too stressed and need some type of outlet ... hmm.

So I had my biannual trip to the dentist earlier this morning, which on normal circumstances wouldn't be such a big deal. But I was a tad scared that the dentist would bust my lip open again so my heart definitely beat a bit faster when she took up her sharp metallic tools.

My doctor moved to a new and swankier office down the street and now they have a LCD TV right on top of the dentist chair. Stop and picture it for a moment: you're lying on your back, a bright light shining into your month while someone with sharp tools is scraping at your teeth ... but when you look up, you see a TV! What a genius idea!

Maybe it's just me, but I just couldn't get myelf to open my eyes to watch TV while the doctor cleans my teeth. Plus, I was trying to figure out why everyone who works at my dentist's office had "D"names: Donna, Dolores, Dawn, Dana, Darlene, and the Doctor. Isn't that pretty weird? Maybe it's some sort of freaky cult ...

Ooo, you know, debbiedrinksdecaf is also in dental school. You should refer her to your dentist...sounds like she would fit right in.
Why are you stressed? Hope you feel better. Oh, and thanks for the reminder of Matt's bday (actually, when exactly is it again?).

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...
