Another tragic tale about women that I should not have read. Sad novels put me in a depressed mood for a week.
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See is a story of two women in China who went through many trying circumstances, most of them merely for being born a woman. I…
Our friend Richard Yen said this in his email update:
“At a Thanksgiving party yesterday, I met a couple who marveled how well I looked after a heart attack. I asked if they had ever received Jesus as their personal Savior. They were not sure and so I talked to them after dinner. They then prayed to receive the Lord.”
Try to solve this puzzle within one minute. Einstein’s sense of humor is getting better too….maybe.
I was talking to my husband about the concept of “relationship with God.”
He said an interesting thing: For most men, admittedly himself, they have difficulty with relationships with people. It’s hard for them to share intimately and to be in touch with and express feelings. If they have trouble with intimate relationships with earthly humans that they can see and touch, how much more difficult it would be for them to have a “relationship” with God?
Test your wits against Mr. Einstein. His joke may be more challenging…
In his book, How Now Shall We Live? Chuck Colson tells the story of Albert Einstein inviting a Jewish rabbi, a Catholic priest, and a Protestant theologian for tea one afternoon. He wanted to hear their explanation on why, if there is a God, there is evil and suffering in the world.

If you had told me this when I was young, I wouldn’t know what you were talking about. Life seems endless to the youthful. I remember in my early 20’s driving downhill on a narrow mountain road with a friend…
You’ve heard of Friendship Soup and Friendship Bread. But have you experienced Friendchip Bag??
That’s right. Friendchip.
Randy was incredibly creative today in coming up with this activity for the kids at church to do. The published curriculum said to get different kinds of beans for the children to make a Friendship Soup for a…
I don’t like facing reality.
I read to escape from reality.
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini is a well-written book with an engaging story set in Afghanistan during the wars. But I couldn’t stand reading about the lives torn apart by atrocities of war, the sufferings of women in that culture, and the…
Biola University just named their new president. Clyde Cook served as the president for the last 25 years, so it is no small feat to find someone to take his place.
From what I read in the Biola Magazine, I am quite impressed with the new president Barry Corey. Aside from his academic and work experience credentials, I found it interesting how he seemed to intentionally prepared himself to reach his goals by having several mentors.
