PRAYER
"but i've been comforted this week thinking of our Lord's thirty silent years of readying Himself at home with His family and bending over a carpenter's bench. were those days any less of a fragrance to God than is later work before the eyes of the people? i think not. a well-made piece of furniture and a healed blind man represented the same thing to the Father - job well done; mission accomplished. so with us here. nothing great, but what is that to Him with whom there is no great or small?"
-Jim Elliot
let us not just think this but really believe it.

JOY
good small flock. interesting things were said.
had a good talk w/ kevin @ in-n-out. think i went through the exact same things he did last year.

PRAYER
the love fore equals is a human thing - of friend for friend, brother for brother. it is to love what is loving and lovely. the world smiles.

the love for the less fortunate is a beautiful thing - the love for those who suffer, for those who are poor, the sick, the failures, the unlovely. this is compassion, and it touches the heart of the world.

the love for the more fortunate is a rare thing - to love those who succeed where we fail, to rejoice without envy with those who rejoice, the love of the poor for the rich, of the black man for the white man. the world is always bewildered by its saints.

and then there is the love for the enemy - love for the one who does not love you but mocks, threatens, and inflicts pain. the tortured's love for the torurer. this is God's love. it conquers the world.

-frederick buechner

JOY
danny yoon tried to do a flip and then ate it really hard on the red turf at kleeburger.
later john kicked james whang right where it hurts.

PRAYER
that Lord is my sheperd, i shall not be in want
He leads me lie down in green pastures,
He leades me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
even though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
i will fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life
and i will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
-Psalm 23

PRAYER
"must we always comment on life? can it not simply be lived in the reality of Christ's terms of contact withe the Father, with joy and peace, fear and love full to the fingertips in their turn, without incessant drawing of lessons and making of rules? i do not know. only i know that my own life is full. it is time to die, for i have had all that a young man can have, at least all this young man can have. if there were no further issue from my training, it would be well. the training has been good, and to the glory of God. i am ready to meet Jesus. failure means nothing now, only that it taught me life. success is meaningless, only that it gave me farther experience in using the great gift of God, Life. and Life, i love thee. not because thou art long, or because thou hast done great things for me, but simply because i have thee from God."

JOY

PRAYER
tired from waking up early these past few days. but it feels kinda nice waking up somewhat early. my new goal is to wake up at 10-11am everyday; God can do miracles.

PRAYER
esp for the sg leaders: "one of my renaissance experiences was to get among kids who were on a different spiritual level than my own, and enjoy fellowship with them. i found a very subtle snare in so doing. i sought their fellowship in order that i might minister to them, 'be a help,' you know, to these 'weaker' ones. what a rebuke came when i sensed my real motive - that I might minister. love hacks right at this, for she refused to parade herself. i learned to recognize no 'spiritual planes,' but simply to love, purely, in every group. trying to 'be a help' even has a smell of good works in it, for it is not pure. our motive is only to be - do nothing, know nothing, act nothing - just to be a sinful bit of flesh, born of a Father's love." - Shadow of the Almighty

for dave shin as he leaves for china for a year as well.

JOY

PRAYER
" 'and the work of righteousness shall be peace, and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forver. ' 'in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength.' i think the devil has made it his business to monopolize on three elements: noise, hurry, crowds. if he can keep us hearing radios, gossip, conversation, or even sermons, he is happy. but he will not allow quietness. for he believes Isaiah where we do not. satan is quite aware of the power of silence. the voice of God, though persistent, is soft.... i am finding your counsel to get enough sleep most practical, mother. not only to be fit for the day and able to relax, but for spiritual awareness and reception one must simply be rested if he is to be blessed. let us resist the devil in this by avoiding noise as much as we can, purposefully seeking to spend time alone, facing ourselves in the Word....satan is aware of where we find our strength. may he not rob us!" - Jim Elliot
