Year 4.31 was winter solstice week. Monday was a slow day besides a chiropractor appointment. I napped twice after a busy baptism week the day before.
Day two was Christmas lunch at the office. I got a small bear which I gave away but got four clothes hangers in return. I had a long talk with my English coworker.
On Wednesday I had to settle continuing tension between language coworkers. At night was leaders meeting and I finally took my new broom home.
Day four was a busy sermon preparation day as I tried to complete my Lam 3 sermon to my satisfaction. It should be ok after the disaster with Lam 1 previously.
On Friday I finally wrapped up my sermon; only ppt was missing. I had dinner with A before two joined us. They had lots to chat before hiking tomorrow.
Day four morning was icc audit. I did not join ops but lunch. Our partners suggested to allow one to attend yf worship and not join the center. Night was a haircut to remember Doris.
Sunday’s sermon was one of the most motivating. At night four of us had dinner with Moks. It was a very special winter solstice dinner.

Year 4.30
Year 4.30 was a less intense week. On Monday I went to see a chiropractor in Mongkok without drama to fix my left arm. I saw a rthk 6 months later short production that made my tears drop.

Day two was a busy day hopping from one meeting to another. I managed to work on 1 Peter 1 for a short while.
Wednesday morning was a leaders meeting that went 4 1/2hours long for next year’s budget. I had to cancel my next icc meeting out of fatigue.
Day four was not easier. I had lunch with A who had a beef serving with my old friend L and even his replacement D. At least I heard first hand the problem. Dinner was with two leaders.
Friday was weird. A coworker asked if I was ok with the person leaving who said it was fulltime or nothing. Dinner with Mok sister was canceled but I’m looking forward to winter dinner next week.
Day six was another chiropractor appointment. A person told me the library’s public WiFi had scrubbed clean all protest videos on a persons YouTube front page. I had to go through a coworker’s message last minute. Dinner was with buddy and two. Fellowship Christmas program was three hours long so it was exhausting.
Sunday was a full program with baptism. It was festive and I gave books to seven candidates. I had to get flowers that busy afternoon. Separately, at the English worship the speaker gave a good message after I helped tightened up his long sermon.

Year 4.29
Year 4.29 was a huge human rights week. On Monday I had a lively afternoon interview as a reference for a friend. It took 45 minutes but the questions were direct and revealing.
Day two was an awkward day asi had to talk to someone who felt disjointed in blue. I assured the person I’ll do my best to make room for him to air his side, but his issue is more of anger than politics.
Wednesday morning was prayer meeting for me. A leader shared his disappointment over how he’s perceived lately that resulted in him being passed over. Lunch was a full yum cha session.
Day four was a chiropractor appointment and night was a last minute dinner joining buddy and R.T who were having a night meeting. The company was good and the dinner was a bargain. Youth had a rehearsal.
Friday came and I started working on 1 Peter for my next series to meet HK challenges head on. At lunch I told BJ I saw J from USA last week having breakfast with Some. I was better today after the cold front yesterday tested my knees sorely the first day.
Day six was English core in the morning, followed by lunch with them. I was tired noon on but picked up to attend fellowship at night.
Sunday was a special day. Two led worship and I had company as we walked three hours from Victoria Park at 230pm. We went only up to Wan Chai at 530pm but I had to leave for celebration dinner with Elvin who passed his doctoral oral defense this week. Four others joined me as we had a Moko blast. At the end of the night I had massage for my tired legs.

Year 4.28
Year 4.28 was a rapturous week. On Monday it was clear the votes were 70% yellow. The silent majority had made their voice heard. Honestly I don’t think changes are in the air.
Day two’s dialogue became a sharing day, a disappointment for those who wanted more and were promised much. Yet it was good all got to share how fellowships were affected in political times.
Wednesday was morning leaders meeting. We got the unexpected news that candidate was turned down. I had no part in it, although I tried.
Day four lunch was a postponed lunch with China James who is pondering what to do with his life after retirement next year, At school board meeting I met a political assistant who was full of praise for Karl Marx! He hoped to study theology and wanted to be my Sunday school student soon.
Friday was a joyous day as two helped to lead worship at a big event for the first time. Bus stoppages caused me to take a bus to Lai King to bypass TG Kwai Fong. Coworker surprised me by scheduling a guest seminary day.
Day six was a day shift because fellowship was rest day on fifth Saturday. I had a good chiropractor appointment and tried a new fruit restaurant with buddy.
Sunday was nervous time with Lamentations 1, my fourth time now.
We had food after fellowship. Newcomer D touched me with his tears. Sun also attended. His baptism is coming up.
