Subject: I am back to Pasadena

My spring qtr will be started tmw.
the kickoff for the next 10 weeks

Some notes in this spring break:
1) do you know your style? I always know that I am not the one who can be satisfied with 1 thing. I need many things. When I say this, I doesn't mean that I am greedy. I just know that I can handle more than 1 thing. Then why not I try to max. my potential? Originally I tried to think which lab I should settle with to work on my dissertation. I wanted to make a decision which then stopped me from wandering upon all the other options. Finally I decided to follow my style. I still work on 1 topic for my dissertation but I am NOT going to give up other interests, even in the midst of the qtr's craziness.

2) the Book of Revelation: I met a pastor whom I can totally see that he will become a theologian. I haven't enjoyed workshop at church for long time, esp those academic one. When I have had enf from the seminary for my theological knowledge, I long for sth else in the church. Yet, I once again tasted the sweetness of biblical knowledge in the workshop on the Book of Revelation. It's not only the information about the Revelation but also the memory of excitement that makes the workshop wonderful. I was excited because once again I was reminded the depth of the Bible. More important, I was reminded that I could be still excited when I read the Bible.

3) I found my joy through the subtle interaction. Most of the time, I felt love in the subtle acts because they come naturally. The acts are small but they mean big to me. I know that you love me so much because you just care me so much and do everything for me naturally.

"I haven't enjoyed workshop at church for long time, esp those academic one. When I have had enf from the seminary for my theological knowledge, I long for sth else in the church" --> I just can't agree with this more..this is exactly how I feel, but not dare to share with many others. :-P
Also, I heard partial of a workshop related to the book of Rev yesterday too. let's see if i will have the time to finish it :-)

Yes, being a seminary student is a pretty unique experience which is hard to share with other brothers and sisters. That's why you need friends at sch...:)

I also only attended the part as it's a workshop at Berkeley church not LA. I have to wait Keith to share with me after this Fri for the 2nd part of the workshop.
