rejoice in the Lord
sunday seems to be full. it's supposed to be a day of rest for me. it ends up being a full day. this day was really full. however i'd like to share highlights from this day.
first i was at the 830 service at holy trinity. eileen pointed out the verse, rejoice in the Lord always as her main point of her sermon. she pointed out the reason, and the main reason is the present state, that God is active right now. even in these stressful times we need to rejoice not a fake but genuine rejoicing. there is other aspects but this was the point i came out with.
secondly i was at japanese church. there is a men's group which meets at 130 for study. since daniel my friend and leader was absent, the three of us just talked. we talked about language and about japanese school. it was great just to sit and talk.
thirdly, i went to sol cafe. where we learned the real story of Jesus' birth. how the shepherds were the first to see Jesus after his birth. and that the wise men came probably 2years after Jesus' birth. joe pointed out how the angels, shepherds and wise men are parallel to the way people come to know God. it was a new perspective and something i never thought of. i'm glad that there is a group like sol. it has given me a different perspective and has made me think again.
lastly i met with my friend takeshi. we went to a korean restaurant. and we talked about what's been happening. he's one year older than me but he's shy. however i enjoy talking with him. i'm glad to have a friend like him. and i hope we could develop a stronger relationship. he's not a christian but he has perspectives that i find is helpful to me.
so i sit after 2200, a bit tired, a bit sick (my crohn's seems to be acting up again) but these sunday's is one day i cherish the most. the reason it's the only day i am around people.
