長江七號,海角七號

Not sure what's up with the #7's lately with the chinese films, perhaps it's a signal for God to invade into the hearts of the Chinese people soon!!! ;)

I saw 長江七號 a while back... and just recently saw 海角七號..., they are both not too bad... I most certainly like the positive message the films try to convey, it's just that unfortunately I don't think they're too convincing. Anyway, at least they made good money! Supposedly the filmmaker for 海角七號 incurred huge amount of debt trying to get the film finished... so maybe he could've done a better job if he didn't have such tremendous financial stress on his mind! Anyway, there was just way too many characters in the film, perhaps they should've made a soap opera of that instead of a movie! ;)

Pastor Jim talked about going fishing this Sunday. He talked about a lot of stuffs... and kinda unorganized too... so I'm not sure how to scribble down notes! He's basically prepping us for the next few weeks on how to become fishers of man I guess. If you're going fishing on 長江, or fishing at 海角, we need to rely and obey God in order to catch those people!

Today's reading was mainly about King Joash. He was a good king at first, as long as priest Jehoiada was alive. He even restore the Temple..., but as soon as Jehoiada passed away, he seemed to become easily affected by people with the wherewithals and slowly forget about God. Hopefully something like that won't happen to us... may God help us realize that He is the One who can provide all our needs... He's the One with the means to do it all!!!
