After 1.5 months, Mao's parent came home and I am living off Union City again. I had been living off 2 homes and no one knows where I am. One minute I am at one house and after a short while in another.
Mao has been treating me well. He welcomes me home every night and slept with me a couple times. I missed him.
The Death Valley trip is nice and relaxing. I was still having nightmares about work the first couple days, and after staying in such good enviroment, they were gone. Too bad, the trip went by so fast. Thank You God who make everything so wonderful. Thanks everyone that make this trip so enjoyable. Thanks everyone that puts up with my rebellous and playful nature. Pak doing all the research and planning. Maria driving and playing good music. Sarah for being neutral always and try to learn to break up our fights.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let us pray! Gracious God, Thank You for the wonderful world You have created. Thank You for the good times and our safe return. This week and next will be challenging for me. You promise to be with me always. Please guide me and keep me in the right path. Everything leads to You, oh Lord. Help me to be Your good and faithful servant. The evil one always try to lure me to fame and glory. Help me to be contended to be humble. Your recognition is all I need. A few friends are travelling, please help them to have a safe and enjoyable trip. Some of my friend's job is in an unstable state. Please guide them and give them peace. Heal those who are sick and have physical problems. Give wisdom to the new parents, so that they could bring up their children according to Your word. I asked this through Christ our Lord, who reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit. Forever and ever. Amen!
In Christ, JC

Blessings 11/07
Thank you friends! I have told a couple people about current issues at work. Thanks for your prayers. They got answered by God. I have talked to my manager and the directions are clearer. I have also pull myself out of the pit with God's help. I am reorganizing my working life again. I will be more discipline and work hard and smart. I need to do a better job managing myself. It is very easy to be lazy and fell victim of bad self management. There is no one to blame but myself. Most managers at Intel are overloaded, the manager usually let you manage yourself and only intervene if you did a bad job or if you ask for help. Better ask for help before doing a bad job. Thanks again to you all with your prayers and blessings.
May the joy of the Lord be with you all!
God Bless, JC

Cat Sitting
I am honored to be a cat/house sitter for a month. For the next 1.5 month, regular routines would change and there might be some new insights. I will leave these to the Holy Spirit. I had been living alone for a long time, even somebody moved in has not changed the behavior. What would a cat do to me? Learn to take care of an animal is new. How did I usually take care of my friends? They might be nice and did not tell me I failed to take care of them correctly. What would a cat tell me.... Probably more than I would imagine.... Or may be nothing at all.... I would camp out in my friend's house a few days per week. May be that would trigger me to move closer to work? Hopefully, that wouldn't make me homesick. Or be a permanent house guest.... Just kidding. God, please keep me and the cat safe. Both houses too. Open my eyes to any insights you are trying to give me. Thank you Lord, and C&E giving me this chance to do something new. Enjoy your honeymoon, and may God keep you guys safe.
My co-worker's dad has cancer and in chemo therpy. He is working offsite at home now. May God help him take care of his parents while not too stress out with customer issues. May God give his dad the strength to endure the therapy. If it is Your will, resume his health.
Thank you God, my friends came back safely from Europe pilgrammage. They had a wonderful time.
As for myself. Thank you Lord for keeping me from a full fledge cold symptoms. This was tiring and sometimes work was sacrificed. I am back to normal today and thanks for keeping me healthy. Help me keep up on doing what is relavant. Work is just a way to use the gifts You gave me to help others. Please continue to help me do this work.
I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.- Psalm 3:5
Sleep Well!

10 月 21日 魚與熊掌
這豈是……買牛羊、僕婢的時候呢？（王下五 26）
牛羊、僕婢是當時社會成功的標記。就像約伯一樣，當聖經稱他為東方至大時，也就列出他所有的牛羊、僕婢的數目（伯一 3）。今日的基督教似乎也流行一種看法，就是如果你要榮耀神，見証有力，就要事業有成、學業有成、有財勢、有地位；以為這才能大大的榮耀神，說話就有人 聽、作事就具影響力。於是不少基督徒就致力於在社會中力爭上遊，以為一則可以為神增光彩，二則更有餘力去為聖工奉獻，一舉兩得。殊不知，勢力、才能從來不 是神要我們所倚靠，去成就神的事（參亞四 6）。保羅提醒我們，福音本是神的大能（羅一 16）。如果我們存這樣的心態，要為神去得世界，恐怕我們其實是同時愛上了世界和其上的事，愛父的心就不在我們裡面了（參約壹二 15）。弟兄姊妹，魚與熊掌是不能兼得的。
─陳明斌
我 們若有財、有勢，很有可能愛上了世界 和其上的事，這只是一個危機，也不是必然。若愛天父在萬有之上，產業是天父的祝福，有什麼不對呢？我估計，最主要是不追隨，不倚靠勢力和才能，而是靠天主 而成就祂的旨意。怎樣愛天父？第一、要認識祂－讀聖經，聽神父牧師講道；第二、與祂溝通，祈禱，聆聽；第三、作祂喜悅的事，愛人如己是祂喜悅的。
