Being a runner

How can I run with my best until the end?

I have felt whenever after any big days, I become in low energy and slow down in my race. After Easter, I felt so tired and did not want to do anything else even though I could not be lazy. Spiritually also. I have tons of prayers to lift up to the Lord lately but my energy is so low. I know that we need to cool down for a while physically after some events. However, I think that we do not want to slow down for our Spiritual life cycle. I do read still the bible in the sanctuary and pray everyday but I have felt that something makes me not to closer to the Lord. That is why we need to be awake and alert in Spirit always.
I used to be a short track runner at my middle school. I used to run really fast in 100 meter track. However, I want to be a good marathon runner for my life; keep in steady speed, having a lean body which is required to be a marathon runner, and never giving up until the end. There is only one way to be a good marathon runner; fill with the Holy Spirit always!

Let's ask the Lord filling us with His Spirit!!

Power of words

-
God has given us a special tool for only human. It could be nicely used to save people, or the other way. Even though most people do use them in daily life, none of people know how to use it properly in God's way. Yes, it is "words". Animals can communicate with their signals and sounds but human has language to communicate each other. However, I think that this tool can be the most dangerous to use without any conscious. That is why it is so dangerous. Lately, I have had chances to observe several people nearby how they speak, and chose words to express their thoughts and feelings. Interestingly enough, the words have been causes of hurting or loving chain reactions. Even though we know so well that we need to be careful what we say, it is very hard to control our mouth without our effort and disciplines . If we see how Jesus used His words to people, we could see how powerful it was. When Jesus cursed the fig tree, it dried up right away. It happened exactly to me once ...

Remembering my dad on his birthday

It seems weird to think about some one's birthday who already passed away. Today is my dad's birthday. I still want to celebrate his birthday though even though he does not exist on earth anymore. He lived not that long life but did live and left great influence among his family, students, and friends for sure. He was born as a first son but third child at his family, was always in the first place in his classes according to my grandma throughout his school years. He did not like to fight or do stuff which common boys like to do. So, they teased him a lot. He was into writing, reading, or listening to others' lives. He wanted to study more but my grandfather wanted him to inherit his business. He took off to Seoul to study in Seoul National university in master's degree but his parents did not support him at all and were mad at him completely. He got a national scholarship to study abroad, came to University of Minnesota in 1962. He finished his master's degree and ...

What if

Today is Maundy Thursday in the Holy week. I have read passion story in the book of Matthew this morning, asked several questions with "what if". You might have asked the same questions like me. The questions are not that impressive but I was wondering what really would happen. The first question has occurred at a scene of Gethsemane when Jesus went out for serious prayers, the disciples fell asleep deeply. What if they did not fall asleep and really prayed deeply with Jesus? How about Peter? What if he really prayed that night then would he deny Jesus still three times? What if Jesus prayed to God only for removing his cup? Did God answer his prayer? I know that it sounds too simple to even answer. However, I have thought about them. What if Peter did not deny but said "I am one of Jesus' disciples? What if Pilate told the Israelite that he could not put Jesus to be crucified? what if one of soldiers stood up for Jesus when he was beaten, said "don't beat...
