Reminiscence

Genesis 22 Abraham Tested 1 Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, "Abraham!" "Here I am," he replied. Some time later means that several years after Isaac was born. So, some time later after Isaac was born, Abraham heard God's voice again. Abraham knew it was God's voice, he recognized it was HIS voice. This means that Abraham had a deep and intimate relationship with God. Think, do you still recognize your best friend's voice after 10 years absence? Probably not. However, Abraham could still recognize God's voice although He did not speak to him for 10 or 11 years. 2 Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about." 3 Early the next morning Abraham got up and saddled his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offer

Ps. Caleb's sermon on July 18th 2010 Ezekiel 37 Valley of Dry Bones. This is God's revelation to Ezekiel. The Valley of Dry Bones 1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. 2 He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. 3 He asked me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" I said, "O Sovereign LORD, you alone know." 4 Then he said to me, "Prophesy to these bones and say to them, 'Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! 5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath [a] enter you, and you will come to life. 6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.' " 7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was pro

I wrote this in English and in Indonesian for 3 full days and tried to submit it to an English and Indonesian newspaper. Writing is not an easy job. I have to think about the genre, the word choice, vocabulary, coherence, cohesion, etc. But, Rejection was the result. Well, no wonder people prefer to write blog than submit it to media, though their writings are good and have an insight. Makanya banyak orang yang lebih senang menulis blog dibandingkan menerbitkan atau memasukkan karya mereka ke media publikasi walaupun tulisan mereka juga berbobot dan mempunyai insight. Daripada mottainai, mendingan aku masukin di blog aja deh. Isi tulisannya sendiri basically sama, tapi beberapa agak lain. The contents are a bit different. Tokyo International Anime Fair (TAF) yang ke-9 diadakan dari tanggal 25 sampai 28 Maret 2010 bertempat di Tokyo Big Sight daerah Odaiba di teluk Tokyo dengan 244 peserta baik dari bisnis, perusahaan software anime, universitas, sekolah kejuruan, stasiun TV, maupun org

After failed to publish this to an English and Indonesian newspaper, I decided to put it on my blog. Mottainaidakarasa. Goku came into the stage and performed his famous movement to expel a powerful beam of energy. Then, a cute MC asked the children who were attending the show to answer what movement it was. A boy came to the stage and answered, “It was Kamehameha” and he got a souvenir of Dragon Ballz. Doraemon booth staged a similar quiz for kids. How old is Doraemon? There were 3 choices. First was 10 years, second was 20 years and the third was 30 years. A boy chose the third answer and he got a Doraemon souvenir. Another stage of Toei Animation, there were 17 “pretty cure all stars” dancing. Too bad, no picture taking was allowed. They would report it to Kanda police station if someone was caught taking pictures. Tokushinsha film Corporation showed 3D of “Garo – Red Requiem” which had breathtaking creatures with powerful strength and frightening e

A fter working at the same schools for 4 years, I am moving to two new schools starting 1st of April 2010. They are Nishi Elementary and Suka Elementary. Yesterday was the last time I went to Kita Elementary and tomorrow will be my last time at Hoshimiya Elementary. Many sweet, sad memories come to my mind. I saw my classroom for the last time yesterday and looked at the arrangements I made for 4 years; the wall decorations, pictures, 4 seasons decorations, properties, games I made; the chairs, the CDs, the cabinet, drawers, racks, boxes, wool threads, lights, windows. Yesterday, I had a second farewell from teachers. I received a bouquet of flowers and a red furoshiki (Japanese fabric handkerchief, red is my favourite color; medatsune!). They are beautiful. I still have them and put them on the desk in my living room. The fir st on e was last week on Tuesday, 16th of March. It was a surprise for me. When I arrived at the school, the principal, Kurimoto kouchou sensei asked me to go to

Popular Graduation song of Japanese schools. It was composed by a music teacher and lyriced by the principal of Kagemori Junior High School in Chichibu, Saitama Prefecture in 1991. Chichibu is a mountainous area in Saitama. So no wonder this song includes the mountain range that looks like waves of the sea. 旅たちの日 Tabitachi no Hi　ni Ｏｎ　ｔｈｅ　ｄａｙ　ｏｆ　ｙｏｕｒ　ｄｅｐａｒｔｕｒｅ 白い光の中に　山並みは萌えて shiroihikarino nakani yamanamiwa moete in the streaming white light, the mountain's waves come to sight はるかな空の果てまでも　君は飛び立つ harukanasorano hatemademo kimi wa tobitatsu though the sky may seems endless out there, you can still fly high 限りなく青い空に　心ふるわせ kagirinakuaoisorani kokorofuruwase in that big blue sky, my heart trembles 自由をかける鳥よ　振り返ることもせず jiyuu wo kakeru toriyo furikaerukotomosezu but birds that fly towards freedom, will never look back 勇気を翼に込めて　希望の風に乗り yuki wo tsubasani komete kibounokazeninori Let those wings of courage soar you high, ride on the wind of hope この広い大空に　夢を託して konohiroioosorani yume wo takushit
