Life as a "Pentathlon"

If you are in the race, the goal is to win. If you are in pentathlon event, you have to win all. Losing any one of the events doesn't mean you are victorious. So as our life. We have personal life, family, work, church and community. If we do well in work but miss family time, we don't do well in life. Again, this is rather high calling and need enormous effort, dedication and responsibilities. Well, everyone has high calling. Some choose ignorance instead. At the basic, we are all stewards. We need to re-examine our roles (in that five areas) so that to bring out the essence of Christ.

I'm a husband, father, son, friend, colleague and community member (Facebook....hehe).

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.

Life, Travel, GRACE
