Year 4.40 was the occasion of three years and nine months of Doris’ loss. On Monday I woke up to a dream. I love the emotions even though I had forgotten the dream. Otherwise all things are canceled, so I bought flowers and Fatty wontons for dinner.
Day two was coworkers zoom meeting, followed by cdr. English pastor gave me a box of masks and I also offered a box to buddy. I admit I’m a mask hoarder!
On Wednesday we had a zoom interview with a potential USA candidate. Language meeting was ok but domestic helpers have more social problems nowadays due the virus. A language candidate also decided to stick with a missions organization.
Day four began with a chiropractor appointment. He took just a few patients today. Later we had a one hour short seminary zoom meeting.
Friday started with morning breakfast at pacific. My coworker is worried if we can get the potential candidate. I had a haircut for tomorrow’s special occasion. At 3 we had a worship video for Sunday starting Andy and Victor, I was so proud of them.
Day six was remembering three years and nine months of Doris’ loss. Nothing much but I still cherish my baby.
Sunday came and we had zoom prayer meeting for the first time , and worship with Keith at church followed by Vietnamese lunch. I did a lot of editing for my Lent broadcast. At night I caught up with Andy for dinner but a PC store we wanted to visit was scared shut by the virus.

Year 4.39
Year 4.39 was not any better but it was less frightening, but for me it was ok. The only fear is fear itself. On Monday I woke to a dream of a giant snake stalking Doris and I at a vacation center. I had to cancel a chiropractor appointment over a mistaken clash meeting date.
Day two coworkers meeting was all zoom-based. Coworkers were mostly working from home, can’t blame them.
Wednesday leaders meeting was on but four were still zooming in the comfort of home. Honestly it’s the fear factor more than anything.
Day four I was thinking of a next book on conflict and solution. I got more than forty passages.
On Friday buddy and I finally met with a missions coworker and there was no stopping him, not even the virus.
Day six was worship rehearsal. I stated behind to help the team because most were too scared or unhelpful to them.
On Sunday I met up with A and V for worship followed by lunch and online fellowship for them. We had tea and sharing and left at 6.

Year 4.38
Year 4.38 was no better than last week’s coronavirus scare. On Monday I woke up to a dream of Doris saying my bible studies are too short! I headed to Tsuen wan where there was less people and just one stop away. The afternoon chiropractor visit was canceled by my foot masseur.
Day two’s coworkers meeting was canceled and we all got home office. I was busy writing my Habakkuk 1 message and as usual I get into office by lunch.
On Wednesday we had a leaders zoom meeting. I must say it’s convenient but not effective, but most were glad they were at home.
Day four was a riot. I was glad my nearby chiropractor did not cancel. There was a big rush for supermarket supplies. I was glad o finally finished my Ezra 10 sermon at home.
On Friday Keith and I sang for our prerecorded Sunday’s worship. I started wrapping up my genesis book for publication. I was excited again after leaving it for a few months.
On Saturday I did nothing much but found a few illustrations for my Habakkuk sermon and also wrote a devotional for the church, which was later rejected.
On Sunday we were part of the audience to cheer Lai for the pth live broadcast in another week of canceled worship. After lunch I went to buy flowers. I slept a whole lot and rested as much as I could but frankly I was bored.

Year 4.37
Year 4.37 was a bad week for everyone, if ever there was one. Monday started ok with walk at the Peak to remember Doris customarily in the third day of cny. We ate at the famous Gordon Ramsay.
Day two’s coworkers meeting was canceled because it’s still Chinese New Year in hk. Already some leaders were petrified, calling for the cancellation of Sunday worship services, yes no kidding, hk people have scars from 2003 SARS.
By Wednesday coworkers were allowed to work from home. I couldn’t remain home whole day, so I was at the office by lunch. Things don’t look good when our island club houses announced they’ll be closing till February 16.
Day four was a good lunch with Justin. After lunch our senior leaders did a complete turnaround. Worship services finally received a death knell from leaders citing the scarcity of face masks. I was not agreeable especially when our good office was said to be involved in the decision making. No such thing were my two cents worth. I had a foot appointment too.
On Friday Jay and wife came by for lunch packing a dinner box and a box of masks. We had a long talk. I surely hope he will stay around, but things don’t look too good.
Day six was normal to only a few coworkers. I went to office in the afternoon. P and I checked out our neighborhood church for worship tomorrow.
I was ready for worship at csw. The worship was rock style. Warren was at his best but Lee was boring and gibberish at best. I went to get flowers because the day was early. I suddenly realized I missed Doris so I rearranged the room to give my wife her rightful central place.
