Today, i wished to skip church because of too many things to take care of. but still had to go. i had to hear what HE would have to say this time. Preacher’s summon was great. It was about LIFE and the Book of ECCLESIASTES, about King Solomon, what he was left with after acheaving all the wealth, pleasure, fame, success of world…..The following readings, i am not sure to whom HE is saying:

Isaiah 55: Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare. Give ear and come to me; hear me, that your soul may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to David. See the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near (please don’t leave ever; it’s a scary world). Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD. And he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.

Ecclesiastes 1:1-7: The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem: “Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher. “Utterly Meaningless! Everything is meaningless.” What does man gain from all his labor at which he toils under the sun? Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever. The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises. The wind blows to the south and turns to the north; round and round it goes, ever returning on its course. All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full.

John 1:1-4: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men.

John 14:6: Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

John 10:10: The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

time is all human have.; should stop fooling myself. don’t know what’s wrong with me. was clearly said. should apologyze my confusion if chance. should try to be normal, not beyond 3 dimension. and focus on things that actually exist and need to be taken care of. no time to waste on something bogus.; forgot that it was cleared that there was nothing. it was bogus.; now even my internet works fine. why people have to control other’s life no matter what? extremely extremely annoying; to whom HE is talking to? exactly “Same Characters” in that department.  basically identical. my misery.; “Personality Type: Case of  John Boehner. Nothing’s settled until everything’s settled….He doesn’t deal in half-measures when it comes to w….” no wonder why this personality has been addressed so many times. need to check every possible…..in between….

About Mikyung
Mikyung received a doctoral degree in social science and did research on international trade and industrial production of certain commercial goods. Her research focused on international trade and industrial production of certain consumer goods and the impacts of trade agreement on them from economics perspective. What I learned from my research experience is that when countries engaged in fast, robust industrialization, economic development and growth, they often did so by heavily developing consumer markets to sell their products. Often these countries had poor domestic markets because of their low level of economic developments and low living standard and quality. So, they have heavily relied on foreign markets to export, pursuing “extrovert economic development and growth.” For these countries, “often their governments” have presided in the center of their economic development and export endeavors, because developing export markets, foreign markets often require rigorous, collective efforts of human skills, financial, physical capitals and diplomatic capability, which can be afforded by either larger corporations and governments but not by medium and small companies. Therefore, often their governments have been heavily involved in their national development projects, as we have seen in the Asian Economic Miracle Cases of Japan in earlier days, South Korea, Taiwan, China and later by Brazil. And they have succeeded in improving their economic power, living standards and global status…. In contrast, in the United States of America, the relatively affluent domestic consumer market and economy have incubated domestic businesses to settle down in domestic markets (introvert economic development and growth) and employed relatively relaxed business practices while trying to fend off foreign competition by seeking government protection against foreign imports that have been backed by fierce foreign business entities and their governments as their joint endeavors to promote their exports and achieve economic growth………In the middle of recession and job losses, in the middle of heated inter-governmental trade war for trade-economic-fitness and survivals, domestic argument of politicians for who is fit to be US President is whether he will reduce the government size to smaller and let private business entities rule over the freer market (As a result of this, what happen to this country for the last three years, as a matter of facts for the last four or five years?) one of the heated domestic debates of 2012 presidential election is whether to create a smaller, dwarf government (in competition with Stronger, Mighty, Focused Governments of Globally Rising Competitors !). It almost sounds like this country is desperate to dwindle its economy and internal status in the world economy and trade…..
