Wow, another awesome song =)

Here's a song that you'd probably never find being sung on Sunday at Eastbay. There are many great songs like that--more suitable for personal worship and reflection rather than corporate worship. Here's one them. I look forward to finding out what kinds of songs we will sing in heaven =)

Aside: I still use Winamp to listen to music. It is simple, lightweight, and has lots of cool plug-ins! For example, I am using the lyrics plug-in to share these lyrics right now:

I realize it's difficult/distracting to load all mp3's onto my playlist and play random songs. So, I organize them into playlists by artists or themes, like rap, Chinese, hymns, praise & worship, etc. The bad part of this is that if I didn't organize some into playlists, or I only listen to select playlists, there are actually a lot of songs in my library that I rarely (if ever) listen to, and never get to learn and appreciate!

Why is Hillsong SOOOOOOO good!

this is straight copying a post from dean from a long time ago. but it's so cool, that I saved it in my Bloglines and watch it from time to time. so cool!

when scoffers scoff, when mockers mock, when unbelievers scorn, deny, laugh at, jeer at, suppress the word of God, they push off the only one true Creator God who can save them.

They don't realize it, but that's what they're doing.

I see dead people everywhere.

This entry is to be continued...

often, if I write something I feel is worth sharing on someone else's blog as a comment, I'll re-post it here.

Here's about hymns on Tim Challies' post:

What are your favorite hymns? =) Post here or there!

Auren Hoffman writes in his blog: "2055 prediction: China becomes the largest Christian nation"

leave some feedback on his blog, or here.

Auren is pretty well-known in the tech industry, especially as being a successful leader and investor. One of his current projects is RapLeaf

I met a guy at the RSF today while playing basketball. He had two tattoos, a cross on his right arm and some lettering on his left arm. I asked him about it, and he explained that "NM BT" stands for "Not mine, but Thine"

Cool!

Not my will, but Yours be done

or... I want to learn how to pray

Lord, teach me how

I had dinner with a brother last night, and I thought of this song afterward

here's a good writeup about the song

Matthew 16:24-26 NASB
(24)  Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.
(25)  "For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
(26)  "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

Philippians 1:21 NASB
(21)  For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

Philippians 3:7-8 NASB
(7)  But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ.
(8)  More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ,

I realize that when I am asked the question, "How are you doing?" I often answer in a variety of ways.

Usually, I take some time and answer with some hesitation, because there are two components that I consider when answering that question.

A) My circumstance
B) My stewardship

So, how am I doing?
A) A+
B) C-, if even that
