Tonight, I finally get my mac go online at home. Last summer, I went to get a 3G SIM card with GPRS enabled only. I didn't get the ADSL or Cable because I was about to move within a couple of months and I have a PPC from office which can be used as a modem. Also, 3G SIM card gives me the flexibility to move around. However, setting up with a Windows based PC or notebook is easy, but not with mac. After a few attempts, I still didn't successfully set up mac yet. I clean my office and found an ethernet line lying around, so mac now is connecting to web via my notebook and PPC modem. The speed is not fast as ADSL or Cable, but at least I don't have to do file transfer. I can also now post my blog online from home.
I will say to the prisoners, ‘Come out in freedom,’
and to those in darkness, ‘Come into the light.’
They will be my sheep, grazing in green pastures
and on hills that were previously bare.
They will neither hunger nor thirst.
The searing sun will not reach them anymore.
For the LORD in his mercy will lead them;
he will lead them beside cool waters.
~ Isaiah 49:9-10 (NLT)

0114. New year resolution & other notes
(Notes during Bible Study 20070116)
. We should make new year resolution. Here is why: climb up whenever we can even though we often slide down. Don't just go down straight to the bottom. At least try to climb up every time we have a chance. And maybe one day we will reach the top.
. We can have a good habit by making it happen.
. Pay attention to what is my opinions about God; meaning thinking of God
. Pay attention to the inner voice

0113. Winter Conference Notes
I was asked to share my harvest of this winter conference at the last meeting before leaving Vancouver. Here is the summary of that sharing.
- Knowing God
This is a reminder. Uncle Martin mentioned this on the afternoon of the second day. We may read the Bible often, worship God and sing praises and songs without knowing God. When we turn those activities into routines, none of Bible scripture we read and the songs we sang come into our hearts. This is also the reason that the behind will catch up.
- Work on the problems in my life
Sister Gerta told a story of a minister. He was a good minister except he had a ill temper. He never worked on his temper. His ill temper could get him hit his wife so his wife suffered a lot. After their kids grew up, his wife asked for a divorce. What a tragic.
Past a few years, God has showed the problems in my life. I didn't pay attention to them. This minister is a good mirror to me. I have to start to work on the problems; otherwise I will regret when I grow old. - "I am fine."
Ask Sister Gerta her preference of hot or cold water. Her answer was both are okay. Sometimes, we should learn not to have too much of our own opinion. It's hard for those who serve us when we are so picky on everything.
- Verse of 2007
The verse of this year is Psalm 32:8.
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will counsel you and watch over you.
Several times in the past year, Pastor Tsao mentioned something like donot-move-till-you-are-sure type of message whenever I thought about job change. I felt confused. This verse comes as a comfort to me, knowing God is fully in control, instructing my walking and watching over me.

0112. Seattle's Best
I can't believe it! The website lists there are stores in Vancouver. How should I know they had changed ownership, not until I got there. Well, so of course I didn't get the best coffee T_T But we got chance to try Canadian's best - Tim Horton!!!

0111. White
This morning when I got up looking out the window, everything was white! What a surprise! The whole vacation was clear sky with a little rain but no snow at all. Perhaps this is the gift from God for Eva and me. Eva wants to see snow badly while I haven't seen snow for three years. And I got to do one of my favourite activities - shelving snow. Thanks, Big Daddy the God, nice gift on the last day of my vacation :) (I took some photos, which you may view in my album.)
