My Christian friend asked me today, 'What can you do to make Jesus laugh?'.
I immediately think of the story of the younger son who returns to his father. The father is so happy that he orders a big banquet to be held at once for celebration. I can imagine the bright smile on his face.

Kiro and his flash movies
Having not visited Kiro's website for quite a while, I find that three new flash movies have been posed. The English version of the earlier two can be viewed here (click 'flash' at the upper left corner).
Kiro is a Korean Christian, whom I had visited in last May, after my presentation at an academic conference in Seoul. During the short visit, he invited me to go to his parent home, which is nearer to Seoul than his home. We enjoyed a good chat, even though we actually met for the first time. He also brought me to a nearby park for a walk with his lovely daughter, Yula. Thanks also to his wife and his mother, who prepared delicious lunch and dinner for such a stranger like me.
How do I know him? Long before the trip to Korea, I had already visited his website and love his short but touching flash movies. Just before the trip, I suddenly came up with an idea of meeting him face to face. After sending an email to him according to email posted on his website, I were excited to receive his reply after I had arrived Seoul. At first, we were not sure whether we could meet personally, because his home is actually quite far from Seoul (should be 2 hours by train). However, thank Lord that, at last, we were able to meet because he was just visiting and staying with his parent for a couple day. To me, that was an interesting experience.

Talents
"As we observe the animals and people around us, we’re reminded that God made each of us unique for a purpose. One person’s natural tendency is to look up and see the “big picture,” while another looks down and focuses on details. Both are important. One is not better than the other. God gave us individual talents and spiritual gifts so that we can work together as a body."
Our Daily Bread (17/1/07)
If you understand the unique talents that God gave you, you won't feel discouraged when you see other's talents that you don't have and won't boast about yourself in front of others. You also have to understand that the talents are not for your own benefits, but for building up the church of Christ. What a peace and harmony picture, when everyone is contributing their talents to the church for God's sake.

I am with you
Today, I found a old hymn book from our church. There is a hymn that touches my heart, one of the paragraph says:
Jesus whispers I am with you in the hour of deepest need;
When the way is dark and lonesome, I am with you I will lead.
I am with you, I am with you, Jesus whispers sweet and low;
In the sunlight, in the shadow, I am with you where you go.
That reminds me of the most difficult period of time when I started writing my PhD thesis. Yes, Jesus was with me, and lead me through the entire process. Praise Him.
