Boring weekend...

Yep, this weekend we didn't get to do much..., didn't even watch any movies or anything..., I had to work a little bit on saturday... and then drove wife to Ritz-Carlton so that she can play violin for a friend's sister's wedding... while I go mow the lawn at my parent's house... Other than that, we've pretty much wasted a lot of time... on walking around in Target... me playing stupid videogames and to fix up a tire which didn't need much fixing!!! ;)

So, yeah, it was a pretty boring weekend, but the up-side of it was that I think wife and I are slowing able to enjoy each other's company better! Her blog talked about the difference between 'having' and 'enjoying' are two different things... We've legally had each other since January of this year, we've officially had each other since July..., so let the enjoying begin... and may God help us to be able to enjoy each other more and more! ;)

Anyway, last weekend's sermon was a continuation of pastor Jim's Heros topic. He was describing to us the difference between Heros and Celebrities. Who's our hero? Pastor Jim was saying that it's those who selflessly sacrificed themselves to help others... what they do, may or may not be recognized by the people... celebrity/movie stars typically play heros on screen, but of couse not all heros are that well known... such as we have no clue about the names of the fire fighters fighting the california fires... and it's interesting that wife and I have different opinion of what is a 'hero', but at least we can agree that Jesus Christ is our hero! ;)

Today's scripture reading is about the magi, the wisemen... who somehow figured out the birth of this future hero and decided to come to worship him. So they're probably like the first 'Christians' ever! Even before the disciples!!! ;) As Christians... or as Hero-ians... may we all can live out the remainder of our lives as everyday heros to those who need help. Superman and Spider don't care if people think that they're heros or not..., they help because they see the need for help. May all of us be able to live our lives as heros... so that our Lord's name can be glorified... God gave us all some kind of 'power' to do certain things, so for sure we are empowered by God... pastor Jim also said God has caped us with favor..., previous Sunday, we had free dinner, this sunday, we had free boba milk tea... God is good! :)
