The fickleness of “Like” 讚的短暫易變

Posted on October 9, 2018 by R. Lin

人的喜好真的是會一直改變的。 People really are fickle with their preferences and likes. 五個月來都看不順眼的紅色開水壺今天突然讓我賞心悅目。 An “kische” red tea kettle I couldn’t stand for five months suddenly looks particularly fitting and pleasant in my kitchen and pleasant today. 為了它天涯海角，不惜出高價住辦公室旁，不計時數，不算加班費還自掏腰包，不吃不睡，熬冰熬火，辛苦奮鬥，苦苦衝刺了就快兩年的工作(之前的相關工作和碩士學位也是費盡心血下盡工夫苦熬了四年才換來的)，竟然食之無味，心灰意冷。 A career I gave almost … Continue reading →

Jesus is the only man who…

Posted on March 12, 2016 by R. Lin

Jesus is the only man who… still accepts, forgives, loves, sustains and blesses me despite my daily, hourly betrayal against Him despite my complete blindness, inability to recognize and rejection of His wonder and goodness, is eternally perfect, amazing, desirable and completely … Continue reading →

Absalom- the tragic result of misdirected suffering and sins

Posted on August 6, 2015 by R. Lin

Do not let tragedy, bitterness and hatred turn you into Absalom (http://www.gotquestions.org/who-was-Absalom.html), whose anger, bitterness and self-righteousness lead him onto a destructive life path that characterizes unhealthy, self-aggrandizing modern celebrities and rulers that populate our current media. The high intensity … Continue reading →

Expectations for Love

Posted on July 24, 2015 by R. Lin

Our (or my own, at least) expectations for love can never be satisfied through anything that can be offered in this world. The difficulties I’ve traversed month have taught me that not only money is illusive and unstable (see Matthew 6:19-21 … Continue reading →

Jonah and Jesus sleeping in the boat during a storm

Posted on July 13, 2015 by R. Lin

I love the story of Jonah.  The childlike transparency with which he displayed the sins of jealousy, bitterness, self-righteousness, rebellion and disobedience acts as a brightly-lit, crystal-clear full-size mirror into the ugliest, but most pitiful and God-needy part of my … Continue reading →

Finite beings with the idea of infinity

Posted on July 10, 2015 by R. Lin

Why do we have such a strong sense of infinity?  Is it from nature and the universe? Ecclesiastes 3:11 – God “has put eternity into man’s heart.”
