Please pray for Eugene Choi

My younger (and only) brother Paul is a pastor (ordained even!) at Presbyterian Church of New Jersey.  Well, one of his kids, Eugene Choi, an 8th grader, re-developed brain cancer! 

Please pray for him and his family (he’s the only son). 

Go visit his site and please offer some words of encouragement and much needed prayers…

At such a young age too…  but let us remember that God is good all the time.

I find it hard to swallow such sad news usually… so as a self-reminder…  Here’s

Psalm 42:5-6

      Why are you downcast, O my soul?
       Why so disturbed within me?
       Put your hope in God,
       for I will yet praise him,
       my Savior and my God.
       My soul is downcast within me;
       therefore I will remember you
       from the land of the Jordan,
       the heights of Hermon—from Mount Mizar.

Today’s entry from “My Utmost for His Highest”

Today’s entry really spoke to me so I wanted to share it… the highlighted portions were the hit points for me… be blessed…  another reminder of how far I have to go…

THE ACCOUNT WITH PERSECUTION
  
 
But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil; but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.” Matthew 5:39, etc 

These verses reveal the humiliation of being a Christian. Naturally, if a man does not hit back, it is because he is a coward; but spiritually if a man does not hit back, it is a manifestation of the Son of God in him. When you are insulted, you must not only not resent it, but make it an occasion to exhibit the Son of God. You cannot imitate the disposition of Jesus; it is either there or it is not. To the saint personal insult becomes the occasion of revealing the incredible sweetness of the Lord Jesus.

The teaching of the Sermon on the Mount is not – Do your duty, but – Do what is not your duty. It is not your duty to go the second mile, to turn the other cheek, but Jesus says if we are His disciples we shall always do these things. There will be no spirit of – “Oh, well, I cannot do any more, I have been so misrepresented and misunderstood.” Every time I insist upon my rights, I hurt the Son of God; whereas I can prevent Jesus from being hurt if I take the blow myself. That is the meaning of filling up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ. The disciple realizes that it is his Lord’s honour that is at stake in his life, not his own honour.

Never look for right in the other man, but never cease to be right yourself. We are always looking for justice; the teaching of the Sermon on the Mount is – Never look for justice, but never cease to give it.

Dragostea din tei – aka. The Numa Numa craze

So I got bored a bit over the weekend night one day…

So I visit youtube.com to see what is fun to watch… I come across this short video with words “numa #1 fan” so I click it to see… This woman comes on and yells some weird thing about how she is #1 fan of numa!  I’m like, what the…  and this dance beat starts and she goes nuts!  Who is this numa dude, I wonder…

So I click on this numa meta tag and look for other videos.  It turned out that “numa” is part of a chorus of a song called “Dragostea din tei” by O-Zone, an eastern European trio.  The song is catchy… but not much flesh to it.  But the number of home-made badly lipsynced videos to this song is what was hilarious!  Just search for the song title at youtube.com and see for yourself if you are out of it like me!

From Mexicans to Asians, from blacks to whites, everyone was going crazy about this song and making their own videos!  What’s worse than all this?!  It turns out that this “fad” came (and is almost gone) at least a year ago!!  LOL…  I’m so out of it… but it’s a good thing I’m out of it… 

Numa numa eh… numa numa eh…

NPR Article: Be careful if you have relatives coming to the States for exchange program!

NPR Article

It states how USA United Student Association, Inc has been mistreating its clients of foreign students.  The NPR article refers to two Korean students who have gone thru near-hellish experiences.  It infuriates me on how there are people like this that abuse these kids!

Go spam their website and let them know how furious you are!  Also, if you have relatives or friends that are planning on coming to the States via exchange programs, make SURE that United Student Association isn’t one of them and to be sure of its background checks!

The Worm Song

So I play a bit more with the kids today and Anna brings over a Sesame Street book and find Oscar. As we talk about Oscar’s dirty trash can, we talked about worms as well and spontaneously, I sang her this song. The original Korean lyrics (written by yours truly) is:

지렁이는 씹으면은 맛이없어요.
씹으면은 물컹물컹 웩웩웩!
Roughly translated, “Worms are yucky if you chew them. If you chew them, slimy slimy, wook, wook wook! (gesture of throwing up)” Well, it was a sure hit! Such a big hit that Anna loved it to death and asked me to sing it only about 100 times!! Then I got so sick of singing it that I decided to record it!! So we recorded it and if it works, it should play when you visit this site!! LOL…

If it doesn’t play and you wanna listen, it’s here at this link.
