Year 2.48 means we are into the last month of Doris' second year of loss. Monday was breakfast with a former coworker Augustine, followed by flower day as usual. Not to lose momentum I worked on OT Grammar Bible version 1 on my day off, to finish my part in a week's time.
Day 2 Next week's sermon is not there yet. We had a briefing that did not go well, so all were on tender hooks for a while. Immediately young men responded doubtfully.
On Wednesday I had the usual weekly language meeting. So far things are on schedule.Dinner was with a leader to see how we could lead our division. Joint leaders meeting ended past midnight, so I had to take 1230am bus home.
Day 4 I woke to a dream that Doris and I were chosen as space occupants with my buddy in a two story capsule subdivided four slices each level. At night
my brother David and wife arrived from KL, so life was interesting. We had dinner at Tsing Yi that night.
On Friday I took half a day off to take my brother and wife around. First two buddies and Wei Seng had breakfast with him to share the gospel, but David declined accepting Christ but at least he did not immediately decline unlike before. Then I took them to walk Central tourist spots before I returned to work.
On Saturday I woke to a dream of shaing a rubber floater with my brother when we were stranded and giving one to his wife, but he thought his wife had none, so he wanted to give his to her. I left my brother morning at home with a coffee card because I had a division feedback meeting, had an 11am haircut for tomorrows special day, then joined lunch with brother and wife at Simply Life and returned to do a prestudy ppt presentation. I joined thesenior couples for Night fellowship.
Sunday was a challenge. Besides doing feedback I had a drink with my division coleader, then joined my brother to buy flowers for Doris 23rd month of loss, ending with high tea in PE restaurant.

Year 2.47
Year 2.47 was puzzling to my mind. On Monday I dreamed of looking at a center page big store Dept leather shoes ads, to which Doris said, Yes you've got to go to big Dept store if you want to buy good shoes. Surprisingly I felt released and found joy, peace and freedom instead. Late afternoon I had prayer with my buddies and dinner with village neighbor.
Day 2 was the usual run of the mill, helter skelter juggling a few sermons and talks but for my coworker to chase me for May's sermon outline. Lunch was with a coworker we are trying to persuade to join ESC. Honestly I feel there is more to achieve at LCD and many are under achieving and ignorant of their potential, not that I am any different. I attended missional discipleship talk. Night was men fellowship which J2 and DS attended.
Wednesday was leaders' meeting that ended at 1pm. We scheduled May 5 to recruit more leaders. For once we could have lunch together. Language meeting was smooth going too. I was also touched by Kwok family's love for their comatose son and brother.
Day 4 was lunch with coworker whose relative passed away. There were things we could share, on my part answering questions for the person's mental health. At evening I had hand treatment.
Friday was lunch with a USA retired pastor but it was uneasy because he was asking questions and gathering information more than catching up and enjoying friendship. For dinner I met a former student from Mount in town for a tour and gave him seven books, all I wrote, then joined fellowship in time.
Day 6 was home fellowship and I joined the single spouse group and talked to an intern about his future direction and attempt to coax a person to be fellowship to be chair.
On Sunday I listened to an American Korean, took pictures with baptism candidates and joined another family fellowship for food and singing. I brought J2 for his voice.

Year 2.46
Year 2.46 was an emotional week for me. On Easter Monday I went to elements for coffee like we used to do. On they home I ate taiwan noodles at tsing yi, rested before I head for home made dumplings with youth at prince Edward.
Day 2 was a slow day at the office. I was back to work but I had to catch up due to a lost day of work on Monday. One week from now is men's fellowship, bit I have yet to write questions on 1 Sam 12.
On Wednesday I took morning off so I don't have to attend informal meetings. Language group has a meeting and I ended the meeting with prayer. Doris' sisters came by a day before Ching Ming and found some of her old notes that I read at night. Ck spent a day with me.
Day 4 was another holiday, so I spent lunch with ck, then headed to Prince Edward to buy flowers for Doris on this big day. I started feeling emotional yesterday, so it was good for me to buy flowers for her.
On. Friday a buddy gave me Shanghai red bean snacks that I shared with all. Night was fellowship talk after dinner with relatives. The talk was well received with little time to kill in between.
Day 6 was CDR after lunch with couples core. I was asked of I would attend prestudy which I said every other month so new coworkers can shine. Saturday was hard for me as I was challenged to check why I serve.
Sunday was hard for me as I hosted a birthday for three youth. Tears flowed freely as we sang a song 耶和華的心 that touched me a day earlier:
耶和華的心是平安的意念，一生一世祂定意用恩典為你冠冕；
耶和華的心是賜福的意念，一生一世祂已應許慈愛永不改變；
當你遇苦難，祂渴望與你共承擔，試探中祂要更新你賜夠用恩典；
憂傷與愁煩，祂渴望為你來舒緩，唯願你全心交託尋求祂榮面。
耶和華的心是慈愛的意念，一生一世我要讚美信靠到永遠。
It is a song of trust and thanksgiving amidst trials and tribulations.

Year 2.45
Year. 2.45 was a good Easter week. On Monday I had flour noodles with JJ. As usual I bought flowers for Doris and the quiet day was a good rest for me. This week I started working on the Shunammite woman of 2 Kings 4, which is quite a difficult passage.
Day 2 was back to work for me, which is okay after a restful week. I took the opportunity to work on the synopsis of Acts because I did not have any students I taught doing it, so I had no references. The three themes of witnessing, preach and kingdombof god stood out.
Wednesday was biweekly meeting, so I had to forego pth retreat. We has a simple farewell for a language coworker. A night dinner with a neighbor leaving the island was cancelled because they were too busy.
Day 4 I was happy finally mailing my tax papers to my USA accountant. My hand treatment was cancelled because the person is in Taiwan for a holiday.
Good Friday was a holiday but we had service with Lord's Supper. At night I had BBQ with buddy and Kwan, ending with taking the 1230am bus home.
Day 6 I woke up to a dream of Doris doing devotions. I slept in, had breakfast, did some writing and slept again. Late nights are not good for me.
Sunday was a big day. I had breakfast with language director to compare notes. My English Philippians 2 was well received. Lunch was with ESC. We had youth BBQ and prayer from 330-9pm.

Year 2.44
Year 2.44 was an exciting week. Monday began with free buffet from Taiwan Hyatt. I had my fill of American breakfast with sausages and discovered carrot juice was delicious. Later we used the VIP lounge as I continued working on Judah and Tamar. Lunch was with Paul as we strolled around 101 area and had coffee at Shin Kong. Dinner was at lounge as ABCK gave reasons why I should leave as is.
Day 2 was breakfast as usual and I was able to finish my Tamar sermon inspired by a lady who asked me at the last day of pth revivals (Mar 9, 2018) if I have a book on ladies study. For lunch we went to Ximen for beef noodles but it's more like mongkok. We came back for a short nap before seeing Black Panther where T'challa's scenes with his deceased father brought to me tears and memories of Doris and my dad. At night over free dinner ABCK insisted I should work on OT 文法, which was easier said than done, but I love my coworkers and fellow pastors.
After a short Wednesday breakfast I was headed to the airport but the hours ride was tough on the bladders. I almost caught an earlier flight back but returned home 3pm and church 4pm. The leaders meeting ended past midnight and I could only catch 1:15am bus home.
Day 4 was sleep in, but late nights are bad for the body. Lunch was with USA visitor Alan. I started working on Philippians 2 sermon and another on the Philippians conclusion for Sunday school. Later I left for hand treatment.
On Friday morning I had to squeeze in another USA visitor Kwan breakfast. I finished my notes for last class of Philippians. I started working on OT 文法 after friend Ben sent the completed materials to me last night (March 22nd). At Friday fellowship I joined John's for a short dinner.
Day 6 I had to skip prestudy I was not leading so as to focus on Acts conclusion which I did in record breaking time from several weeks of thinking. At night I attended fellowship as usual.
Sunday's Philippians class ended with pictures. My sermon on Philippians 2 was well received. I unleashed my thoughts for the noon interview and the two ladies had a good time. they said. I was so tired I took a two hour nap.

Year 2.43
Year 2.43 ended with a surprise. On Monday I had lunch with two youths at our favorite BBQ restaurant in sheung wan. Then we head to the Sun Yat Sun museum, which was eye-opening. Back at church AH and I prayed.
Day 2 I had to do a talk on Peer Support to Prevent Burnout. The talk turned out well, but I am happy to free my time for other talks. Besides I had to get going on next week's message on Philippians 2.
Wednesday began with breakfast where a man told me a story of how his yacht was struck by lightning to change his name to Jacob. I then visited a friend who texted me for help to move overseas. Later at a leaders' meeting we got sort out who's doing what with many sick or injured lately. At night I picked up a colleague who asked me to join him in Taiwan for a free holiday. I hesitated but hilariously bumped into a good USA friend at HK airport who was heading to Taiwan too, so I decided to go with them! The iOS version of 文法聖經 debuted with my ABCK friend's hand as my model.
Day 4 I had breakfast with the USA friend I bumped into yesterday and did some writing before I headed to church. I got hand treatment.
On Friday my mentor Herman was in town. He'll be at ABS over two months. At night I led a short devotion on the last of three messages on Barnabas.
Day 6 I woke up to a dream of Doris, who asked Why are you not folding your undergarments? Lunch was with Lo from Canada and his successor. I was so behind with next week's message that I skipped prestudy led by another person. At night I joined young families fellowship and heard a testimony by Jas.
Sunday was second last Sunday class followed by sermon at North point. Reluctantly I wore sneakers because I was heading to Taiwan to join my friends last minute for HK$2k. On the plane I saw Hacksaw Ridge. My USA friend took me to Shin Yeh near Hyatt where we stayed. A grand meal followed by coffee at eslite ended the day.

Year 2.42
Year 2.42 was a week of record breaking dreams. On Monday was revival meeting on my day off but I listened dedicatedly to the heartfelt speakers. At lunch I went to have Vietnamese with Js and bought flowers for Doris followed by chiro. At night my neighbor treated island coworkers for dinner before his wife leaves in a weeks time to SF.
Day 2 Some invited me for lunch to talk about language headcount but ended with church baton, to which I gave my input. Some wanted to continue the talk but I had to rest for a meeting ahead. My hand was slightly better.
On Wednesday I did not go leaders' prayer because I need to support pth revivals. My day was as busy because I had a language meeting later.
Day 4 I woke to my first dream of Doris. A group of us including Billy was hanging out with much fun followed by buying movie tickets. Someone asked me for my ticket money, but I asked, How about Doris? The person said she paid for hers only, so I was shocked. She came smiling sheepishly knowing she had so much fun she forgot about me but I love her smile. Before lunch I had a spirited MTR travel with Some to the revivals, followed by organizers' lunch with speakers and a return trip to coffee missions talk with a rep. Later I got a hand massage.
Friday was my next dream. Doris wanted to go the festival of praise for the great food there. I had lunch with another fellowships leaders. They were so kind to treat us three musketeers for new year lunch. Dinner was with relatives at a quieter D2.
Day 6 was department lunch with departing music leader. How to move the fellowship forward is an issue. Night was fellowship rest after revivals meetings.
On Sunday I had my third dream, this time looking for Doris at the beach. I asked Bud 2 to cover the hills. She had a distinctive cup with her, so my coworker R helped me to check the cups, but unfortunately he found an interesting cup and decided to check the internet for its history. I attended prayer meeting after church and had dinner hotpot with youths that ended past 10.

Year 2.41
Year 2.41 ended well after a lot of financial commotion. Monday was a visit to Dr Chou who diagnosed me with tenosynovitis and I later joined the Cheng's who were celebrating their 29,the anniversary. My bad, but I bought a nice pot of orchid for them.
Day 2 was cny lunch at work. during my prayer walk I bumped into our island minister who demonstrated a stretching exercise for my hand.
Wednesday morning was leaders meeting. It was unusually early at 10am till 3pm. I skipped the next language meeting. At night neighbor coworker invited me for dinner.
Day 4 I went to chiropractor early at 9am but bumped into a frontier friend nearby who invited me to visit the office
Friday I had dinner with relatives before attending fellowship together. At least I got home early for prayer walk.
Day 6 was another problematic language meeting that started at 930am and didn't end till at least 2pm, but I got away at 1230pm for lunch and pre, prestudy. The worker had lots to work on and deal with.

Year 2.40
Year 2.40 was much lighter with cny in the fourth day, but Monday was big. Ten pth youth came by the island for swimming, hiking and BBQ. In one day we bonded. All are awaiting Easter.
Day 2 I was so tired after cny holidays that I took compensation morning. The rest of the day was no less busy but at least I could breathe a little easier. We had good coworker sharing for a change.
Wednesday was a long day, but at least bud cut my hair for Doris' day tomorrow. I also cancelled language meeting because two were absent. My coworker agreed. The leaders night meeting was long on debate and crowded by issues that I missed the 1am bus and took the 145am bus home. Insane.
Day 4 was 21 months without Doris, so I got her some roses and our group had lunch nearby flower Street, but big boner did not taste as good as the first time last week. My hand treatment was postponed to Saturday morning.
Friday fellowship was house meeting, so I did not have to attend. I started working on James 2 message. The rest of the night was prayer walk and editing my mourning talk.
Day 6 began with swimming, breakfast, and then hand treatment. Sister 3 came by to take away Doris' photocopy notes and put her books in a box. At noon I finished editing the translated talk. At noon I had lunch with my Indonesian counterpart to understand my challenges. I had fellowship at night and talked to a leader about the direction of fellowship.
Sunday school had two invited guest including an Elderly. They had a great time, but we missed an important worship item. The leaders coworkers retreat in the afternoon was a hit. I slept going home but was surprised to find English friends at the clubhouse at night. The TV movie In the Woods was worthwhile to watch.

Year 2.39
Year 2.39 was a sorrowful week interrupted by the new year. On Monday I rushed to donate blood with news that 1,000 had lined up day before. I was no. 21 lining up nearly two hours to give 450 cc in six mins ten seconds. Later I had lunch with a youth nearby and after that saw my chiropractor.
Day 2 began with Elderly breakfast. The friend decided to join my Philippians Sunday school. The funeral for collapsed runner was at night. His daughter wrote an original and most beautiful song for her dad.
Wednesday was filled with grief at the cremation service as mother and daughter clung to each other after pressing the cremation button. At night I joined relatives for dinner and birthday as well.
Day 4 was a good day as I joined Kwan and buddy for cny eve dinner. Kwan did ask me why my voice had changed, which I found out in the morning. I was thankful I paid off my HK taxes and monthly tithe before cny arrived.
On Friday morning I went to our favorite TC coffee place, then visited B in hospital bringing Japanese strawberries. I had a satisfying big boner breakfast for lunch and got flowers for Doris from three stores that opened in Flower Lane then returned with Vietnamese noodles for her dinner before I joined S fanily for dinner because his in-laws are out of town.
Day 6 I dreamed sweetly of Doris the last hour of my sleep. I tried to touch her nose to see if the dream was true. Doris asked me, What are you doing? I said, To see if all is real. I'm happy to see you. She said, 無搞. She was wearing her old wedding banquet dress. At night I was back to relatives' place for 開年飯.
Sunday's sermon turned out better than I thought after a few restless days working on it. I also thank God I was not infected by my language prayer partner who was hospitalized for acute virus. No wonder my voice changed the next day after praying with him on Wednesday. I went to Peak with youth and friends to remember my days walking on new year third day with Doris.
