Reaching for the skys...

Wow, China is really getting ambitious with her space program... Plan to build it's own spacestation and go to the moon at around the same time Americans planned at 2020. America probably will be too poor to carry out such plan because we're spending our money on bailing out trouble financial institutions and on wars!

Anyway, scientific progress is always cool... better than spending the money on bail outs for sure! I wonder when will US finally be spending money to invest in its future rather than to spend money simple to contain problems often times caused by ourselves... deregulating big companies in the name of free market. Adopting the policy of befriending the enemies of our enemies... We befriended Bin Laden to mess with Soviet Union... and we befriended Hussein to mess with Iran... the end result of course is that we ended up creating 2 monsters. Most Americans probably would find this to be a tetchy subject... we all just want God to bless America and nobody wants to hear about God damning America because of the evils our government has done. Hope the nation will repent soon that that we may once again reap all the blessings God really want to give us...

Today, I read more about that Shunammite woman..., Elish warned her to move away for 7 years wherever she can go because God has decreed a famine in the land. So she abandoned her home to live in Philistine for a while... and eventually, she was able to retun and get her land back after the famine's over! Not only that, she also got additional income too!

May the Lord grant me favors such as that too! To be able to avoid disasters and to be able to reap all the nice rewards! ;) But of course, as pastor Jim taught us... she literally made a room for Elisha, the man of God. Are we willing to make room for God in our daily lives too? How big of a room are we willing to make? How big of a room am I willing to make?

For sure I haven't made one big enough yet, but I'm making it bigger O God! :)
