Just sent out my newsletter. Then my friend Gaye told me that in one page I had a long list of grammar error. No doubt I crafted it and Emma had proofread it last night. So I will share something about our son David’s English, as he is born here and is now 3. Last night David and I went to our church’s small group, we call it “life group”. At the way back, David told me “I had fun in the lie group”. ...

Only days I will say goodbye to such a high speed wifi, free accessing of facebook, twiter and even gmail. The network speed will literately down to several hundred K-bytes.

After got through “Prepare/Enrich” seminar, Emma and I took the assessment. The most impressive part in the report about our marriage relationship is that our pressure level is high to the ceiling, and other measures except commitment are very low. ...

In two days, I got two job offer. One was to work for a computer software project, and another was an internship as pastor in mission. I know those friends who kindly offer me a chance to stay in US longer are for my good, but the Enemy could also use these chances to delay my calling as well. I didn’t even bother to ask the salary and said ‘no’ to my dear friends. Hope they can find better candidates. ...

Nursemaid’s elbow! As we sit in the emergency room, the doctor said it happened everyday. And this time it’s Lisa. I tried to pull her on bed at home, and she suddenly burst into cry. Then we noticed she did not want to move her right arm. No time to waste, we went to emergency room. After long waiting, x-ray and 1 minute of fixing, she could use her arm immediately. Thank God! I will not pull them anymore, even if they fall down on the ground. 🙂 ...

In the preaching class, I told the story of Luke 19:1-10 as my sermon. One take out is that: don’t design the plot too subtle. Otherwise when you forget to tell the exact detail, you will feel unsatisfied. Just jot a quick thought. ********************************* 刚刚完成了讲道课上的第一人称故事式讲道。没有带笔记上台，还是忘了一点计划中的细节。 ...

Google something and carelessly click a link of baidu.com. That would be an attack to github, OMG.

Part of the process of going back China is to apply traveling documents for kids. Then they don’t need Visa until they are 16 years old. The problem is the documents need to renew every 2 years. Two years ago, we drove to DC to get David’s traveling doc, and now it is expired. Due to Emma’s health condition, we don’t want to go DC again this year. After a long time waiting, in God’s grace, the embassy send two counsels to Columbia today and we applied for kids. That is so great! ...

it’s out of my expectation that Emma’s bill before insurance is over $17k, and after insurance is still about 3k. We have to apply financial aid. Please pray for us. ————————— emma的手术账单到了。先是一张3000美元的， 保险公司报销后剩了300，上面一共三个手术的费用，每个一千。 ...
