I was at a dear friends funeral today. A 24 year young David died last Thursday. As I remember him, I know that God has taught thousands of people through David.

Some lessons I learned from him are:
  • He had some physical limitations / "disabilities", but he did not pay attention to them, nor did he let them stop him from what he wanted to do.
  • He took part in a vast number of activities, like Spartan Christian Fellowship, Crave Youth Group, Asian Club, among others.
  • He worshiped the Lord with his whole heart, without caring about how he sounded or looked.
  • He smiled, and his eyes opened wide, when he saw those whom he knew; and he hugged them strong. I could see that he loved them.
I want to take these lessons to heart.

On a similar note, when we came back from the funeral, I realized that our dog Nuka was always happy and joyous when she saw us after a few hours of being away from home, or in the mornings. I want to be like this with those I love.

God's awesome, wonderful work!

Here is an excerpt from an email that a co-worker has sent to me:   “ What church do you and your wife go to? I have been thinking alot lately about going to church. I have never really attended church and don't know much about the bible. But I have a desire to know. I feel strange just waltzing into a church and being lost.”   How awesome is the work of the Lord! And that we can take part in it! Woah! Alleluja!

I no longer make the best fried fish

Last night for dinner I made some fried fish. Aliza said it is the best fried fish. This morning, it is the first thing she said also, "Daddy, you make the best fried fish". I hugged her, and we went downstairs. It's Monday, so I'm getting some things ready before I head out the door, and she asked for some chocolate covered pretzels...I gave her a couple and she cries out for more. When I denied her request for more, she cries and yells "You don't make the best fried fish!"
