I was Blindsided and Jesse (my son) showed me the way

I wanted to retire for the night but I wanted to put this down first.

I used to play game books. I think I will do this post in that style.

1.
I write a newsletter for my company. The latest issue is about getting help. I mentioned we can get help from anyone. I elaborated how I got help from Jesse on Skyrim and other things that he is learning now from school. Boss thinks it’s too personal so I took it out. I sent the original draft to Jesse though.

This is something that happened this afternoon.

If you don’t know what Skyrim is, go to 2. If you do, go to 3.

My Journey to Nation Transformation #dumcMY #sermon

“Expanding God’s Kingdom on Earth”

Mat 28:18-20 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. (19) Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (20) and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Joh 14:12-14 I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. (13) And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. (14) You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.

A Scholar’s Prayer

Shared by my friend, Collin Chung.

Creator of all things, true source of light and wisdom,
origin of all being,
graciously let a ray of your light penetrate
the darkness of my understanding.
Take from me the double darkness
in which I have been born,
an obscurity of sin and ignorance.
Give me a keen understanding,
a retentive memory, and
the ability to grasp things correctly and fundamentally.
Grant me the talent of being exact
in my explanations and the ability to express myself
with thoroughness and charm.
Point out the beginning,
direct the progress,
and help in the completion.
I ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

– Thomas Aquinas

A Man for All Seasons #dumcMY #sermon

Dr. Ravi Zacharias, 13/05/2012

Josh MacDowell told this story. He went to the airport counter and gave detailed instructions on the different destinations he wanted his luggages sent. The person at the counter said they could not do that. Josh said they did that last time.

Dr. Ravi decided to change the topic to the family.

If the families fall apart, the community falls apart. If the community falls apart, the nation falls apart.

What is Worthwhile under the Sun? #dumcmy #sermon

Dr. Ravi Zacharias, 12/05/2012

(I ran into problem with the internet. I could not post it before the benediction. I am sorry for the delay.)

The word apologetics came from the word apologia which means to give answers. In Act, Paul said, “let me explain.” Same goes for Joel and 1 Pet. Apologetics is the twin tasks of giving and answers and making them clear.

Two man were talking. One said to other to bet that he would ask himself a question and if he could answer it, the other man would buy him a Coke. The other man protested and said this was a not fair bet. He then said they would take turn. He started first, “How does a rabbit burrow into the ground without pushing the dirt out?” The answer, “The rabbit should not burrow from inside.” The other man said, “what kind of a question is this?” The first man said, “I don’t know. That’s your question.”

Sooner or later, we asked questions that stump the questioner.
