Precious Gift

-

I have been very busy and tired for more than three weeks due to moving, work, illness, and insomnia. I haven't slept more than five hour for three weeks. I have tried all kinds of teas and methods, but my mind has been so alert because there are tons of works to think about and to do.
I woke up again at 3:30 this morning and heard a voice "What are you preparing for me?" I was thinking about a service of Lessons and Carols this Sunday how to make those transitions between choirs smooth and not so busy. I made posters to put up among stores in town, and a bulletin and have been working on making power point. However, I have missing "what for?" part, the most important part. When I heard the voice, I immediately confessed my mistakes that I have been only thinking how to do everything well. Also, I have been thinking what to buy Christmas gifts for my kids, family, or friends. I haven't thought about what to give to the one whose birthday is.
Our Lord does not need anything-merchandise, because He has everything and is the source of everything. However, He always be pleased with our well prepared hearts to Him.
I want to give my best music as my gift to Him. I want to make Him pleased and happy!
Let's focus to the Lord. He is the One!

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 ...

Peppermint Mocha

I love to drink hot drinks: coffee, tea, apple cider, hot coco, and so on. I love smell of coffee at coffee shops. Somehow it gives me some fuggy feeling and warmth memory of Christmas. When I was a full time doctoral student, I had to drink several cups of coffee to be awake without much sleep. I can confess that I spent a large amount of money in coffee. I enjoyed the smell when I entered the coffee shop, most of all, I enjoyed fellowship at that time with my dear friends. Especially, during cold winter near the end of the semester, my friends and I went there to get some hot coco after long hours of study at the library, hearing background of sweet carols. After I moved down to Richmond Hill, there was no Starbucks. However, it happened a couple of months later in a Kroger which is located across from my church. So, like a habit, I used to stop by to get a cup of coffee, especially with my dear friends after lunch. Gracefully, my friend treated me often for the coffee. Since I have ...

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 ...
