Jaeson Ma on the Student Church Movements and... →
God led me to Jaeson Ma and Caleb Lin tonight through Neue. To me, at this time, He is answering my prayers to revive and re-focus the asian-american church. This is an interesting article to read, not so we will convert all churches to house churches, but so that we won’t have such a myopic view about “church.” “It’s amazing what you guys can do without the Holy...

Joycers 2010
I’ve always wanted to compile “best of…” lists, so this year, I decided to give out Joycer awards just for fun, to express thanks to all of these people for helping me in living life, understanding love, and enjoyment.

Life is not fair: on being (incredibly) blessed.
When I look at the many social changes that need to be made, all the political, social, and internal wars that wage in the worlds of seen and unseen, I think about my life, and all of the people I know deeply: those whom I love, and those who love me…my conclusion is that life is not fair. How come I get to be so blessed when such genuine relationships are the very answer and restoration to...

eta 3A: Big, Apple-y Night Wonder
One of the things about the train culture toward which I feel mixed feelings is saying goodbye at the end of every leg. Knowing that I will probably never again see any of the amazing people with which I’ve just spent over twelve hours is both detaching and mysteriously wonderful at the same time.
