At my church where I work, we have an indoor basketball gym. As part of my new year resolution to exercise, I was thinking I’ll take breaks throughout the day to shoot some baskets, by myself with hopefully no one watching. I wore my tennis shoes today for that purpose. But there were people in there all day today.

A big part of my work is talking to people, mostly about good things, which is why I love my job. We talk about God and life which is what we are all about.
Today, I am thankful for heart conversations with Sharon W and PT.
My new year resolutions, if I make any, tend to be the same each year. I guess I just want to keep working on those same habits that has not yet been firmly established as a habit.
So for 2019, these are some things I want to work on:
Our tradition is to watch the Rose Parade. I grew up in Pasadena where we went out to Colorado Blvd. every January 1st. I even stayed overnight on the street with my friends one year. If you’ve never done it, I recommend doing it once while you’re young.

A week away from leaving for Taiwan! I am feeling much better – I asked many people to pray for me and the team, and I know God is answering.
I feel I have more grasp of the lessons and teachings that I am prepping for.
Psalm 77 has been an encouragement to me recently.
Pastor H said in his sermon on Sunday that people shouldn’t be surprised when they find out you go to church. It’s not a good thing if they say, “Oh, I couldn’t tell you’re a Christian!”
I like what Aaron says here about having a consistent lifestyle as a church leader. Actually all who call…
A reminder to myself – another way of saying “It’s not how long you life, but how well you live.”
“You never know when your time is going to expire, so remember: as you add years to your life, it is more important to add life to your years.” Barbara Johnson
Came across this article from Aaron’s blog.
“Slow traffic, a sick child, or a costly home repair may not seem like important tools in our sanctification, but they are. We often overlook these interruptions and inconveniences and instead expect God to work in our lives through huge life-changing circumstances. But the reality is, we won’t…
