I feel so blessed today. What i thought would be a half hour chat turned into 5 hours of talking and being encouraged in God by someone who is obviously very busy and have better things to do. This clearly tells me where her priorities lie, in people not work. The desire to be a blessing and to build up other people is primary, and that is just so cool. On top of that I received a check up on you

10 Dec 4pmWent to Santa’s Village today, which was as tourist trappy as one might expect it to be – a collection of souvenir shops caught in the gravitational pull of the main building that was suppose to be Santa’s cabin. Regardless, it was pleasantly touristy. Considering that all the beautiful impressions I have of Christmas: the snowy wonder, the warm fires in the log houses, the jingles,

I run out of adjectives so I have to resort to font size and lousy computer game metaphors: its like driving through the arctic map of Modern Warfare, with snow flying into the screen as you speed through the forest – except that you feel every single bit of it – the snow on your face, the wind in your face, the growl of the engine and every bounce

And after a day touring I would say that it has turned out to be everything I expected it to be, which is good.Most importantly, the buildings and palaces are absolutely stunning (tourist area, not area where our hotel is, tt just grey and drab).

The Vienna and Finland travel guides came in the mail from bookdepositary (each for $25) a few days ago, and since then i've been busy consuming the Vienna one - I find minor joy in highlighting landmarks and especially marking out where our hotel is located on the map.

As a random digression, I'll admit that I think with my heart and not my brain. I make decisions on what I feel first, and then justify or rationalize it with my brain. But that's only because my brain has failed me. With the so many opposing point of views and voices that it has to sieve through, my brain has left me confused, uncertain, and ultimately paralyzed.

I think part of the reason why God sometimes seem to work so slowly (like years even, consider abraham's promise of a child) is because we need to come to a point in our lives where we can truly see that results are not and will never be conjured up by ourselves. If after every God-led action, results are immediately obvious, as much as i say thank God, a part of me would take the credit, saying

Just recently, the father of a close friend of mine passed away. And this is after his mother's death a few yrs ago. Two things which he said struck me deeply 1) "I'm an orphan now" - the depth of loneliness and isolation, the being forced to grow up, the handling of estate and monies, I cannot even begin to understand what it feels like.

A comparison---------------------------But when they said, "Give us a king to lead us," this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the Lord. And the Lord told him: "Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king...Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will do

In the matter of belief, I have always found that defenses have the same irrelevance about them as the criticisms they are meant to answer. I think the attempt to defend belief can unsettle it, in fact, because there is always an inadequacy in argument about ultimate things. We participate in Being without remainder. No breath, no though, no wart or whisker, is not as sunk in Being as it could be
