Dangers Men Face #5: Loss of Influence

We had one of the 61 members joined the discussion. He's not a believer though. We started off with types of influence. Indeed influence is pervasive and multifaceted. Our personhood as who we are promote influence. People exert their influence thru their wisdom and counsel, performance, position, knowledge, power and wealth.

What will be the consequence of having these influences loss? People will not come to us at least. Not to mention we are not heard. We examine the influence of our previous PM. As we know, his advice in recent issues was not taken seriously. Simply because he's no longer in power.

Nevertheless, the most valuable influence is the influence of person. There's a saying life changing life. This is reflected in Heb 13:7. As influence is temporary (and somehow is vulnerable), use it as a gift from God to bring benefit to others and glorify Him.

Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route

Just came back from Japan last week. Went to Tokyo for conference and added side trip to Tateyama Alpine Route and Kanazawa. I must say that Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route was great. You can do the trip either from Nagano side or Toyama side. For us, we did it from the Nagano side. Took the Shinkansen to Nagano early morning. Then boarded the express bus to Ogizawa. From there, we boarded the tunnel electric bus to get to Kurobe Dam. From the dam, it was all the way up to the peak (almost). Murodo is the highlight of the route. This is the place where you get to see snow covered peak and lake. In spring, there's snow wall nearby Murodo station. From Murodo, we descended to Bijodaira and Tateyama Station to catch the local train back to Toyama. The fare for the entire route is not cheap, but it's worth it. A hike from Bijodaira to Murodo should be interesting, which can be considered in future. View from the tunnel electric bus, onward to Kurobe Dam Arrived at Kurobe Dam View of t...

MyVi

Had got my new MyVi last Friday. Initial consumption was a litre for a 10-km drive. Well, it seems quite costly but this is still early to judge as the engine needs up to 5,000km drive to get optimize (that's what people tell me). Enjoy driving it.
