5.45

 Year 5.45 was to remember Doris. On Monday I got my haircut and bought flowers for the occasion. I remember my beloved a few times that day from exercise in the morning to my night stroll.

Day two was back to work where I must be in good grace lately because I was called to close in prayer. I attended a leadership training workshop that was food for thought.

On Wednesday we resumed prayer with the young at night. I don’t think I accomplished much but at least I got 2 Peter 2 outline nailed down.

Day four was half day work, so I went to the chiropractor. It was a quiet day at the office except we had lunch with buddy.

Friday was team building at Mui Wo. I noticed our team is quiet strong and capable in all we do, praise God! I returned to church after lunch at a good Turkish restaurant and coffee at McDonald’s.

Day six was Good Friday rehearsal. I think we did ok but there is room for improvement and surprises.

Sunday was a good day for worship. I received the wonderful news from my publisher I was the top seller and the third beset seller for the last three months of 2020, besting all favorite Pao!

5.44

 Year 5.44 was a slow and uneventful week for me. On Monday I had lunch with buddy and a friendly deacon, who kindly advised me not to be too sharp with my choice of words! Ouch! R, P and I treated the Laus for lunch at OMA. Church life would be less honest without them.

On Day two I said our outsourced live worship has been handicapped for a year, which I repeated to leaders. Most coworkers agreed. Things should not be as is.

On Wednesday our leaders meeting ended past midnight, eventually passing her new plans, of which I abstained. There are more pressing matters locally to address, but it nevertheless passed..

Day four was recovery from the marathon meeting. Glad it was an online meeting. I couldn’t do much at the office so I took compensation to work on my own stuff.

On Friday I did the observations for revelation 3 that at least thrilled me. Don’t know what kind of church we are or become in crises in comparison with the seven churches in Rev 2 and 3.

Day six was a dreadful morning devotion. Later we met with pianist K for lunch sprinkling my favorite J in my conversations. M again messed up, this time with a dance routine that caused a person to leave the group.

Sunday was special because my buddy finally made a breakthrough using grammar bible that powered his Hab 2 sermon perfectly, helping him to walk the plank skillfully. I was so proud. XB concurred!

5.43

 Year 5.43 was a climatic grammar bible week. On Monday I returned to leg massage but my chiropractor later warned me against it because it messed up my veins.

Day two was physical meeting once again and half time work at the office is permitted in preparation for full time office hours. We said goodbye to our favorite coworker Frank.

On Wednesday I received news my latest book has been accepted for publication. 同行無界 has been ready for a year but the pandemic put everything on hold.

Day four was lunch with a two weeks new navy coworker. Ministry in the new times is harder than usual and more staff is needed.

On Friday I’ve been having with my numbers in my new office pc - six of the keys malfunctioned. I’m glad I’ve been making progress and is nearly done with my second draft grammar Bible.

Day six was pth ministry meeting every two months and praise team rehearsal. A team practiced for Easter and things are rolling.

Sunday was the usual worship and lunch with coworkers. It’s also the end of my second draft revisions!

5.42

 Year 5.42 was a relaxing day but i made a big change in revising my grammar Bible. Monday was a packed revival day so I decided to buy flowers nearer at Tsuen Wan and wontons as well.

Day two was the start of working on Revelation 2 the whole week. A KE coworker wanted to join me at lunch to tap my brain. Coworkers meeting returned to physical meetings.

On Wednesday night a youth P shared with me over dinner about her experience quarantined in China. Prayer meeting was canceled due revival meetings.

Day four was a chiropractor visit and a short time working a revelation. Other than that the revivals were going smoothly except for organization promotion that turned me off.

On Friday I met Indonesian Felix for the first time to hear of his language work first hand. It’s a hard life  ahead for him being single and jobless.

On Saturday I had zoom English meeting in the morning. Three of us can have lunch now. PA volunteered to open the choir doors so I was grateful. 

Sunday was return to four restrictions and people really were happier for it. Today’s attack on democracy was shocking but symbolic and symptomatic.

5.41

 Year 5.41 was a nostalgic week. Monday was four years and nine months after Doris’ loss. I had breakfast with my coworker neighbor but tears fell from my eyes in the morning when I was by myself reflecting. Later I went to get flowers for Doris at flower street.

Day two a few of us had lunch with a department coworker and his wife for lunar new year. Already two of my beloved coworkers had left and one soon!

I had an unexpected challenge Wednesday when a pastor asked me to help his team member with his emotional problems. It’s not easy for young guys in ministry.

Day four was a chiropractor visit in the new year with new but more expensive feet medication, charging me $850.

Friday was a long para church organization meeting but I survived it. Honestly I rather spend more time on grammar bible. 

Day six was back to normal praise team practice with less restrictions. I’m glad my opinion on praise team rehearsal booking was eventually solved.

Sunday was early an breakfast with praise members and a talk with one about his possible future studies in USA.
