Psalm 67: May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine on us so that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations. May the peoples praise you, God; may all the peoples praise you. May the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you rule the peoples with equity and guide the nations of the earth. May the peoples praise you, God; may all the peoples praise you. The land yields its harvest; God, our God, blesses us. May God bless us still, so that all the ends of the earth will fear him.May 26, 2012 Leave a comment

yesterday and today, i read revelation. i had the impulse of having to read it. read it years ago, but don’t have any faint memory of it, looked like alien language. there was a startling contrast between the destruction of the city babylon (why there is mention of color purple, disturbing) and the arrival of new jerusalme. reading of the beginning part almost alarmed me. i couldn’t believe what i was reading. but started finding peace as i read it further. the key nature of God’s chosen one seems to be: Revelation 21:6-8: He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and He will be my son. But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars —their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”……the holy city New Jerusalem, tree of life, river of water of life…….May 6, 2012 Leave a comment
Psalm 65: Praise awaits you, our God, in Zion; to you our vows will be fulfilled. You who answer prayer, to you all people will come. When we were overwhelmed by sins, you gorgave our transgressions. Blessed are those you choose and bring near to live in your courts! We are filled with the good things of your house, of your holy temple. You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds, God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the erath and of the farthest seas, who formed the moutains by your power, having armed yourself with strength, who stilled the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations. The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders; where morning dawns, where evening fades, you call forth songs of joy. You care for the land and water it; you enrich it abundantly. The streams of God are fileed with water to provide the people with grain, for so you have ordained it. You drench its furrows and level its ridges; you soften it with showers and bless its crops. You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance. The grasslands of the wilderness overflow; the hills are clothes with gladness. The meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are mantled with grain; they shout for joy and sing.April 29, 2012 Leave a comment
Psalm 63: A psalm of David. When he was in the Desrt of Judah.thy great. damn me, double crab.; isn’t there any limitation of how much a humanbeing can achieve in lifetimre? and all latest drama of danger;
the great light of the world. apple of eye. purple flower. hypnotized. 2 hrs apart. ; briefly stopped starbucks to check. have to leave.;in this process, earnestly i ask God, what’s wrong with me. why this (intolerable) excessiveness/obsession of certain things, while ignoring the rest of else, even after all these times of exhaustion. still i have some leftover hope/motivation of something? i’m intolerablly excessive, overdone for certain things.; yesterday, i finally had to give up my collection of almost a century’s volume of national geographic magazines. i dreamed of having one full wall of yellow national geographic magazine in bookshelves eventually when i settle down. it had been excruciating to carry them around while moving how many times? and couldn’t do it anymore. and other issues of times, travel, interior, whatever. they are supposed to be my visual contents aids when eventually start writing. with them probably i could have write for several hundred years. (i seeme to have every possible materials to do that, except actually writing. i thought initially teach for a while but eventually write. but neither happened. once was writing for a while but my ex stole the flash drive to prevent it; now i can not rely on computer either. don’t have that much time either. sometime even wonder about handwriting.) because of all these stuffs, my movin takes forever. and my all limbs are aching, seem almost death experience. now, though still have lots of stuffs, am embarassed to go back to my old place. because i exchanged goodby with a few neighbors a few days ago but still going back daily.; biography. children’s version or grown up version.; seriously, though read just some part of beginning, who wrote “the book.” is it really she or custom-ordered or somebody else.
i read the book a few pages each time when possible. is it custom’s design? how many including me relates to this book?; everyday, i live because of God’s promise and l. otherwise, nothing that much meaningful. as time goes by, life means more focused on by God. putting my past behind by moving out is taking a lot of time now. rain and even tornado warning. ; instead of being on top of mountain, i am on top of apt, with a open view. up to now, my place became beautifuller, brighter, with the addition of view. built kind of shrine, surrounded by things i like, pictures of colors and pictures of l. i’m kind of happy, for now, except missing part. i miss. constantly think.

Psalm 51: Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my inequity and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my is always before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are proved right when you speak and justified when you judge. Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. Surely you desire truth in the inner parts; you teach me wisdom in the inmost place. Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice. Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will turn back to you. Save me from bloodguilt, O God, the God who saves me, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness. O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise. You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it, you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. In your good pleasure make Zion prosper; build up the walls of Jerusalem. Then there will be righteous sacrifices, whole burnt offerings to delight you; then bulls will be offered on your altar.what are the screen calendars for. what. when. free moving, how; so, what am i supposed to do? don’t expect i know what to do. the only thing, i can follow.; all these time, i seem to have confused about what from where. now i get more confused, but one thing seems to be clear.; i am kind of upset with the economists of economist (the magazine). it is supposed to be a busy week of packing for moving. and they published the issue of the third industrial revolution, making me feel obliged to check on what they say, while supposed to focus on packing. i’m very upset for this distraction. when i am supposed to focus on the trivials of life.; the court case for kids is delayed again. i was going to take whatever the outcome. believing whatever is God’s decision (no matter short term or long term). i seem to have become very obedient, seem to have little desire or vigor to disagree, fight on anything that much. it seems, i don’t have enough blood on my veins to generate that enough energy to fight or disagree. i had one or so free time to wander around by myself before picking up kids from school, which was great. killing time without doing anything, that is best time for me. when i have to hang around anywhere with kids, i feel like my body weight is more than 200 LB. that’s what i feel all the time, to argue with them. they are…. but getting far better. i was happy today. felt like smiling face was with me all the time. i was happy. although have no idea what to do.; no matter whether it’s God’s compassion or pity, i am just thankful. flower petals being thrown into sea in a bright shinning day. beautiful. somebody typed “financial storm.” i guess it’s my ex.

Sunday Oct 23 2011: Isaiah 65: Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. But be glad and rejoice forever in what I will create, for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight and its people a joy. I will rejoice over Jerusalem and take delight in my people; the sound of weeping and of crying will be heard in it no more. The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, but dust will be the serpent’s food. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain.April 16, 2012 Leave a comment

1 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”[a] for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’[b]or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” 5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” 6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. 8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”April 6, 2012 Leave a comment
