Some Images From Morakot

Is there any question of God's mighty power?

Taiwan under water

I am sure that most everyone has been watching the news and has seen many photos of the destruction as well as the rescues taking place in southern Taiwan following Typhoon Morakot this past weekend.

I came across this photo that I felt carried a very poignant message. I post it below for your consideration.

Some really good things to think about

Today on a friend's (Elsie Quick) blog I read what she called Life Affirmations. These are the things that I need to speak into my life everyday. They are truth that I need to live by. Let me share them:


I am loved by God always. I am loved without condition.

My life is of great beauty and infinite value.

God has a plan for my life that is meaningful, purposeful, and joyful.

There is a work for me to do today that will bless others and give me deep satisfaction.

God is always with me. I need never face my problems alone.

Together with God, any difficulty can be worked out and overcome.

All I can say is, AMEN

God is always with me

Adjusting back to life in Taiwan was harder than I expected, after 4 months in the US. I think the main reason is that as I get older, adapting to change is just more of a challenge. I am very glad to be home now, and also very thankful for the time that I had with many special family members and friends. I thoroughly enjoyed time with my home church as well as the Adirondack Bible Chapel. In both places I had more time to start to get to know people and that makes it very precious.

Dai's brother Jing Wei's baptism was held off until I could get back, for which I was really thankful. What a blessing to be able to see first hand his public profession of faith in Christ as he shared so clearly with us all, the blessings from God that money can't buy!
