morning thoughts

"Breakfast is good"

A slice of muffin with grape jam.

Another slice of muffin with chicken sausage and cheese.

A nice hot cup of tea. =)

A simple yet delicious breakfast... to kill the monday blues away.

"An unfortunate side to the evangelical movement in Korea is increased competition. Churches number in the tens of thousands here, and are competing so intensely for members that pastors feel pressured to engage in a kind of one-upmanship: sending congregants on as many overseas missions as possible. New markets and riskier missions tend to garner more publicity, which until now has translated into more kudos and ultimately more money for the pastor and the church."

Its great to know that His word is spreading rampantly in korea... but i do hope & pray that the pastors are not evangelising for sake of just rasing more money and funds for personnal benefits...

Something for us to watch out for too... when serving in any ministry, there could be times we may feel tired and weary, and we start to serve and do the things we do for the sake of doing it, and losing sight of the main initial purpose of serving. At times i guess we just need to take a quick short break and breather... stop and reflect. and remind ourself again. and ask ourself again, why are we serving? who are we working for? what are we working for?

we really need to constantly remind ourselves... constantly...

really blessed to have a close brother-in-christ, aka my best buddy!! Its always great to have someone to talk to, to pray for each other and to support each other in times of need. Just realised my best buddy didnt bathe since last night! haha!

he better shower and wash up before going to for his first day of uni later man. Right Jared?
