Picture of the Month #2

So this weekend, I attended this random church to hear a famous speaker. During the intermission, my bladder instructed me to use to restroom. And so I walk in, do the usual; look into the mirror, choose a toilet with at least one toilet in between me and another person, and then proceed to secrete the excess stream of a natural water faucet. After finishing, I'm about to push the toilet lever down to flush the toilet... and I read "Please Flush after Use!" (and the translated version too!). What is this world coming to? When people have to tape warnings signs or notices that remind people to flush the toilet..... you know that alians are about to invade the world. Why would you seriously need to remind people to flush a toilet? Isn't that common sense, that when your done alleviating  yourself into a public piece of machinery.....  you should at least bother to clean it away? It's like having a nice conversation with a friend, then accidentally sneezing a large blob of germs and saliva on his face, only then to continue on the conversation casually as if you don't notice the now shocked expression of your friend of whom is now covered in a layer of mucus. 

I understand people not mowing their front lawns, because they might not own a lawn. Or they might not have the physical capabilities to mow the lawn, or simply just hiring somebody to mow the lawn for them. But flushing a toilet? You can't not have a "pee-pee", you can't "not use the restroom" (unless you're a FREAK), and you can't lack the physical capabilities as to press gently on a lever, or wave your hand over a sensor. And most ultimately, you can't hire somebody to flush a toilet for you after you pleasure yourself. Just think about it, would you like to walk to a toilet and be happily welcomed by a pool of yellow urine left as a gift by the person before you? If you don't flush a toilet when you're done, it's like a dog that poops along the side of a road, then waits for his master to pick his s*%$ up for him.... only you're the dog that lazily poops everywhere and waits for other people to flush after you. And that's just sick, and gross and wrong in every possible way. In a way, you're almost a hypocrite; because you must shower each day, brush your teeth, etc. in an attempt to have clean hygiene. But then you leave urine and poop everywhere for other people... what's the point in being clean if you have other people cleaning your dirtiest "productions"?

Moral of the story: flush the toilet please. Think of the trees; if everybody started to flush the toilets... you wouldn't have to have reminders that tell you to flush the toilet.... 

***its was extremely awkward taking this picture.... people  behind me were like "WTF is this guy taking a picture of a toilet for?? WHAT A WEEIIIRDOOOO!!!"***

In Need of Support

Today's blog is going to be a tad more solemn than my other posts. If you don't already know, I am going on a mission trip to Canada this summer to help spread the word there to those that have not received it yet, while also learning how to spread the word. The following is a letter I wrote to a few people in humble request of financial and moral support. If you would like to support my trip, there is a donate button on the right side of the blog to help contribute. And if you do not feel an urge to, I ask of you to still provide prayer and loving support. Thank You.

Dear ,

I’m a rebel.

I’m a dissenter, liberal, renegade, insurrectionist, heretic mutineer or any equivalent terminology that allows me to be against the flow of society. I’m a complete nonconformist to traditional doctrines or orthodox, I hate following the ways people find to be “acceptable” and I loathe the typical stereotypes bestowed upon me before birth. Essentially, if you were to say “that’s like finding a needle in a haystack”, I’d like to be that one single strand of hay that is discolored and at discontent with the others. If you didn’t truly know me, characteristics of this personality would at one point or another stand out. To those oblivious to my true nature, I’m generally labeled as an “immature adolescent” that likes to talk loud in places that are deemed to be quiet. I enjoy the exasperated looks teacher’s give when they ask “does everyone agree”, and I’m the one that boldly raises my hand to logically argue how I disagree. Sometimes, when reading something controversially or blatantly obvious in terms of moral standards, I would argue why their logic is wrong or flawed. So judge me, am I considered anything but bad and what some adults refer to as “being mature”.

So by the time you’re reading this very sentence you’re wondering “so what did that have to do with anything of the sincerity to the request of mission trip giving?” Well to begin, I’d like to set aside a portion of your time to inform you of my personality and opinions. But you may think “David claims he’s a rebel, isn’t that a bad thing? Why is he informing me of all this negativity?” And the thing is, it’s true to say that a rebel is often regarded as something negative or detrimental to our path of living a righteous life. However, aren’t we all rebels towards Christ? In God’s eyes, we are the ones that raise our arms in question to his power, his authority, and ultimately, his everlasting love. There is absolutely not a time in your life when you haven’t complained “God, why? Why did this happen? Where are you when I need you most?” Don’t we all find ourselves doing absurd actions when angry? Isn’t anger itself a complete contradiction to the teachings of love, which we all should live by? And isn’t living a life against moral doctrines itself rebellious in nature? You see, I admit I’m a rebel, and you may have to. But what about those who still live a complete life rebelling and constantly testing the mercy of God? As Christians who strive to live a holy and hallowed life. Don’t they to deserve the chance to admit themselves as rebels of God?

In another sense, though we are rebels against the mercy of God. On earth and in society, we are God’s holy rebels against the forces of sin and evil. We are his beloved soldiers saved by loving grace to fight against the influences of sin, and to carry forth the message of liberty and salvation. But like soldiers on a battle field, we need the constant supply of daily living and support. What is a soldier without adequate training and preparation for war? Is he soldier? Or is he just another person wishing to become God’s soldier while crumbling into the fire of sin?

I am soldier for and of God. I humbly thank Christ to allow me to be born into a household of love and to be set on a path of correct morals. But while living a holy life is vital to fight against negative influences of this world. Spreading the message or helping the development of other soldiers may only further strengthen the bond we have with Christ. Though obligatory, I find that spreading the message of God may not only strengthen my relationship with God, but to help others struggling. While hopefully learning and constantly growing with God.

That is why I ask of my brothers and sisters, like that of the soldier, to supply me with prayer and love to fulfill this task for God. However, in a world were money predestines actions. I humbly ask of the financial supplement needed to effectively carry forth this calling. According to James 2: 15-16, Christ says “If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that?”. In my current state of life, I am a fellow brother not only lacking the financial help needed, but also the courage and strength required. Like the verse says, I am without clothing and food, but with the loving support of you and other Christians; such worldly values cannot obstruct the spirit to live for God. Thank You and May God bless.

Sincerely,

David Wei
