Readings Eph 4-6

Dang I never realized how mind boggling these chapters are. So intense full of wisdom and inspiration. It's crazy when you read verses that are like this because it's about the same number of pages as any other daily reading, except my brain's tired and blown after trying to grasp the concepts. Anyway, WAY too much stuff to even begin going into detail. Read it for yourselves. I promise it's bbqpwnsauce.

But I'll say this: we're called out to do the Lord's will, our calling. Except the problem is how will we know what our calling is? I don't think there's really any way of knowing for sure. Many people fool themselves and many people fool others regarding their calling. But what's a man supposed to do? At the end of the day, maybe it's just up to use to pick a righteous cause and do it in good faith that the Lord has called us to do so. But if it's predestined, then I guess whatever we end up choosing in good faith IS our calling ;).

ON A SIDE NOTE: waking up Roy on Sundays makes me laugh so much. All he does is grunt incoherently no matter what I say to him.

"Hey Roy, it's 12:50, when can you pick me up?"
"Uhn.."
"Can you understand me? Are you awake?"
"Uhn."
"So when can you pick me up?"
"Uhn."
"Wtf?"
"Uhn."
"Uhn."
"Uhn."
"K, call me when you're coming then"
"Uhn."
"Don't fall asleep again!"
"Uhn."
"Frig."
"Uhn."

If you string together all he's saying it sounds like the beginning of a rap song. TURN MY HEADPHONES UP

Schindler's List

Watching now. Will cry. Will write thoughts later. Hahahaha pwned.

Readings Eph 1-3

Paul does some serious writing. Anyway, this whole predestination talk is coming out of a man...inspired by the Holy Spirit. Who's to say who's inspired by the Holy Spirit and who's not? Wonder if Jesus ever uses that word. Man's word is man's word after all. Even wisdom should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Readings Luke 23-24

NKJ > NIV.

Anyway, you guys ever place yourselves in the sandals of biblical people? It just occurred to me that these disciples are tripping balls and at awe that Jesus rose on the third day. I realized that I would have just shrugged it off and be like "Oh, you're back cool." The Dude said he would be back. I capitalized Dude because I'm talking about Jesus, how epic win is that? I think I would trip mountain oysters if He DIDN'T pop out of his tomb and walk around scaring people. That's when I realized the force is strong with this one, by force I mean faith.

On a side note, I wonder how much faith it would take to be able to pull off some force moves from Star Wars. Apparently faith the size of a mustard seed grants you "force push" or "jedi speech" since it warrants you to tell a mountain to go eff itself and it will indeed eff itself: by jumping into the water and causing a massive landslide. One day in heaven is like countless years on earth; one mustard seed is, similarly, likely to be the size of a freaking planet. Oh well, guess we'll find out when we're there...holy crap I just realized they probably have the best wasabi ever since it's made from some epic win mustard. (Don't go on to inform me about wasabi being made from horseradish because I will counter you first by telling you horseradish comes from a mustard. Pwndizzled.) Wow, speaking of heaven... 24/7 geudaen yongwonhan heaven. ADD FTL.

Readings Luke 21-22

Hmmm...Things that are written will come to pass. We think we won't but we'll end up doing whatever it is written haha. Funny, this coincides with all this Flash Forward I'm watching...and of course all that predestination vs. free will stuff. Mind blown.

Disgust

Don't look at me with those heartless, deceitful, passionless eyes of yours because I will not hesitate to destroy you with my words. As I was getting ready for work my mom was telling me about business in China and disgusting memories surfaced in my mind. A nation that is so pretentious, greedy and selfish calls themselves proud, honest people. How you disgust me.

In China, the poor are looked down upon like animals with no soul.
In China, the rich hold no regard to anyone below them.
In China, sin spread like wildfire convincing innocent souls it is the way of life.
In China.

A land that claims honor honors women who sell themselves to wear a brand name; yet kicks sand at the faces of women who stand by their self respect and work till their hands crack just to eat a bowl of rice and some roots.
A land that cheat, lies, and steals from the citizens inhabiting it and those who do business with it.
A land that cares not for safety of those who use their products even if it could kill the users - as long as it turns a profit.
A land called China.

Money is the root of all evil - to those who have no purpose for money but self gratification. Back in the 80s when China was gaining economic grounds, you have these hillbilly farmers who blew up big and became wealthy. These classless knuckle heads with their white socks, dress shoes, and Armani dress pants that are too short go into the world flaunting their wealth like it wasn't luck that gave it to them in the first place. The rest of the population, oppressed by a failing government full of crooks, poverty and the western media became obsessed with money. Foolishly, they chased and chased whilst using any means necessary to reach their goal. They lied to each other, cheated each other, even killed each other. And 20 years later, you'd think it would have gotten better. More educated people, better economy, more globalization and a younger generation of leaders should turn the situation around. Right? Educated people use their brains to figure out HOW to cheat, lie and steal better. If they don't know, we didn't do it is their philosophy. The economy is growing due to the fact that businesses cheat, lie and steal. Globalization made China go into the media glorifying it for its economic prowess so these fools have even more to boast about. Younger generation turn their back on what is right in order to make the quick buck. How you disgust me.

What happened to hopes and dreams? Honor and integrity? Self respect? Character? Love? And then you ask me why I'm not proud to be Chinese, why should I be? China's just a pretty girl with all the makeup but a rotten inside. What is there to be proud of? Nothing. The flag of red which is supposed to represent love and passion is of lust and greed. The yellow stars in the corner which supposed to represent hope and a better day now is the number of good people left in the nation.

Sure, this is a rant; but it's a rant with truth that no one talks about. People are funny. They're proud of their existence from a land that the know nothing about. Don't make me laugh you blind fools. And yes, there are plenty of good people in China but most of them hold no power to affect the nation or change its stature, so in the grand scheme of things who really cares? Let me say this, if China rises to power before God rises to power inside China...the world will not be a pretty place. God, do you thing. Because people themselves clearly can't get anything right.

*Side note: Korea's not much better with it's seek for self gratification and media whoring. Japan's prostitution night life is equally disgusting. I guess it's a plague of all powerful Asian nations. And oh yeah, the whole Tibet situation, even though China disgusts me, I still stand by their decision. Screw the Dalai Lama. And before you start debating with me about this topic stop eating up all that western media and find some food for yourself.

Readings Luke 19-20

Show truth and sincerity and truth and sincerity shall be reflected back onto you.

Oh, and also, K.I.S.S.
