6.2

 Year 6.2 was taxing but thrilling because of my new revelation series. This week I dreamed of Doris after a long lapse. I forgot what she said but it seems like our lives never stopped!

Day two was a more than normal meeting day where I lose a lot of sermon preparation time. P and KE D joined us for lunch. D has lots of talent to spare.

Wednesday was full steam ahead writing Revelation 3. My brain is running overtime, which is not good but it got things done. At night youth prayer I announced no more prayers third and fifth Wednesdays.

Day four was half office day and I was working on the Ecclesiastes translation Seven sent me. El helped me to give him a love gift because life is tough abroad.

Friday was 64. I lit a few candles since the island was devoid of activities. Life is upside down but I hold my ground.

Day six began with language ministry’s core meeting, then putting the final touch to the sermon and attending night fellowship.

Sunday arrived and I was busy with Sunday school before my sermon, which was my best in the short series so far!

6.1

 Year 6 and counting has arrived! Monday was my sisters birthday and I had trouble sending money to her. Otherwise I skipped flowers due to an abundance of flowers given her.

Day two was all meetings but I was focused on translating Habakkuk after seven sent me the latest. 

Wednesday was leaders night meeting so I can multitask because I was glad for the lucurt of moving full speed ahead with translating and putting all my sermons online. I even had night prayer with a few guys.

Day four was getting ready for my Ecclesiastes Sunday school into chapter 2. It’s been an exciting class so far. The pc was terrible though.

Friday M had a long talk with me. Might not renew because it’s not all roses so far. We will see what it leads to with pandemic in full force.

Day six was P return from quarantine and he’s in prayer for his future. I got to stand in the gap earlier than I thought.

Sunday sermon was taxing and I was dozing. Later all coworkers had to attend a talk meeting protocol. K brought dessert and we had a long discussion on their wedding future.

5.51

 Year 5.51 was busy as ever. On Monday I had McDonald’s lunch, then got a hand massage, followed by a chiropractor visit! After doing more web revisions I head home for dinner.

Day two began with worship meeting that ended early. Lunch was joined by KE, Buddy   Xb and we had a good chat, followed by the usual coworkers meeting where I’ve been called to pray lately. 

On Wednesday I started working on Revelation 4 because work time is often swallowed by meeting. After an hour I was to attend leaders prayer meeting.

Day four was half day but I’ve started to work  harder on my new message because time is running out. 

Friday was P return to HK, so I had to work on a lot of issues. I was focused on revising New Testament links, so I’m happy with my progress.

Day six was department meeting and we ended on time. At night I was back to fellowship but the crowd was still sparse.

Sunday was a delightful day because Sunday school on Ecclesiastes had started but the AV was not cooperating. Nevertheless the class was exciting. T got Doris Mother’s Day flowers and I remembered fondly she used to grab flowers from church, mother or not, for the occasion!

 Year 5.50 was a thankful week. Monday lunch was followed by flower shopping. Buddy xb and I had dinner when I dropped by after chiropractor.

Day two was spent working hard on my Sunday revelation sermon. After coworkers meeting rwe had division drinks for M last time. 

Wednesday at night prayer I told all about possibility of getting sz to be replacement intern to help K out.

Day four was brainstorm with younger coworkers about a new worship but R was not particularly interested - no 靈魂人物 to carry it. People here are risk averse.

I told buddy Friday but he’s ever cautious. I’ll withdraw worship offer by end of the year. Cannot put my life on hold too long.

Day six was a public holiday but I had an urgent call to return because my intern forgot his keys! I stayed to listen to buddy’s night sermon,improved in observation but need inspiration.

Sunday sermon was revelation lift off. Cast Away helped my message last minute. I take the response for it’s difficulty. Even jie jies like it!

 Year 5.49 was a dramatic week.  Monday was a day at the florist and a chiropractor visit that’s now been changed to mondays instead of Thursdays.

Day two was meeting with coworker to give him my philosophy:

Be humble, hardworking and helpful.

Learn Basics, balance and breakthrough! 

Look, learn and listen!

Wednesday was noon work as night was leaders meeting. I did a lot of work since it was zoom! Later sz told guys he’s dating:)

Day four was one month before Doris’ fifth year of loss. I got beautiful roses. It was unbelievable that the English OT Grammar bible was completed for the big day!

Friday was near Sunday preaching but the study on 2 Pet 2 has no imperatives or hina so it was not as straightforward as before. At night I worked on Doris’ other blog cheerfulhelper to get it ready for next month.

Day six was special with our first fellowship bible study after the restrictions were relaxed. We had a great time.

Sunday was guys breakfast and a last minute study that reaped rewards. I decided to use contrasts and it was powerful and punchy, according to 600k two!

5.47

 Year 5.47 is a blessed week getting close to Grammnar bibles completion. Monday was a public holiday. On the way to lunch a coworker texted me and I asked the young man why he’s working, so I invited him to join me for lunch at central. I tried to stay away from work talk. 

Day two was another public holiday. I almost went to work but for a jogging friend who told me he is not working from home but it’s a holiday! I had lunch with PhD who’s having relationship problems.

Wednesday was a big day at the office as I have to work on my sermon in two weeks time. It’s still up in the air. I’m not even close to understanding it’s richness.

Day four I had a early chiropractor appointment and I was trying to take back some comp days to work on GB. I’ve been at it nonstop. Ok 

Friday was cdr day and I managed to work on my hardest case. At the end of the day it’s good for coworkers to have lunch together while I ate with buddy.

 

On day six I returned to noon work and attended night fellowship now that restrictions have relaxed. Tea was with buddy and dinner with v.

Sunday was k best. I told him he’s graduated at the right time. Newbie apologized for not trusting me. D cried using GB, it’s that powerful to coworkers.

5.46

 Year 5.46 was the Easter week. On Monday I had breakfast with my favorite neighbor for the last time before he leaves for USA. He’s such a good servant of God.

Day two was a busy worship meeting that I attended but at least we got off early. It was followed by another meeting, where I blurted out, I’m not a country lover. It was hilarious because buddy said, love heavenly kingdom!

My coworker and I went to the airport to see the Laus off at the airport, where I met his parents. It’s a new journey for his family, but the older kid will stay with me briefly.

I was surprised to see buddy at the office but he said he came because he knew we were at the airport yesterday. I started working on my taxes. Later I discovered the deadline was extended.

Good Friday began with Kingston friends lunch. We had a great time and I gave them our latest book in exchange for a free lunch. Easter worship was special and everyone gave their all.

Day six was flat but at least friends were at work. I took youngster for lunch and the rest of the day was doing Grammar Bible.

Sunday was slow but we had a great Easter sketch program. All went well even a talk with a reluctant candidate!

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!
