My dad is better than your dad

This was a reality show in US TV some time ago (the show was only managed to be aired for 1 season though). There are 4 teams in each episode. Each team consists of pair of father and son/daughter. Of course they will need to compete with each other teams. So the kids will brag that his/her dad is better than the others. There's nothing wrong with this. Just that the kids need to be vocal enough, highly confident and at some point give a great expectation to their dads. Well, in each hurdles, they will portrait a teamwork spirit between father and kid, which is crucial in the family institution. And the mother and family members will support from the audience seats. Such a great combination of family unity. What if the team lose? They will forgive each other and continue to support each other. Maybe it's just an act. But you can see the relationship is there. Let's ask this question: how many dad-kid relationship exists in Asia family by means of rebuking and loving each other in public?

The essence of the show is to enhance family unity and not to be ashamed with each other. Just like believers not to be ashamed with their Father.

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...

The power of commitment

We were grateful to have Dr Jerry White in town to share some insight on the topic commitment and the lordship of Christ. Dr White is the ex-president of The Navigators. When people talk about commitment, some respond as calling – calling for full time, missionary and so on. Is it true calling come from passion? The reality – not much deviation from our devotion and commitment to God. The pillar of our commitment: “Jesus is Lord”. Every believer shall confess Jesus as Lord (Phil 2:10-11). Do you (and us) commit to the lordship of Christ in mind, hear and will? It’s a decision (mind); a response (heart); an act (will). Is it easy to commit? From our mind, it is the seat of knowledge – knowledge of God (Matt 22:37, Rom 14:5, 1 Pet 1:13). The first step is getting to know (input?). What next if we have the knowledge? The heart – the seat of our emotion and desires. From the mind, comes down to the heart where the desire begins. Having desire is sufficient? Why not ...
