had an insanely long convo with timma about the whole holiness thing. it was really interesting, although i now have more questions than answers. it was too long to post here, so i posted it at my old blogpage. GO THERE if you have time, and tell me what you think (it's INSANELY long though). it's a very interesting topic ... 'cuz it seems like you can find Biblical support for both sides. i should talk to stephen liu about it too. heh. =] light unto my path -bj
accountability was really cool today. had a good time of ... well ... accountability ... but also we talked about prayer and God's sovereignty. do our prayers hold weight if God's will is always done? (or, to rephrase it slightly, God says He will grant us whatever we ask according to His will ... but if it's in His will, wouldn't He give it to us regardless of whether or not we ask for it? do our prayers change God's will?) very interesting to think about. heh. ask me if you wanna hear our responses ... =P we also talked about holiness and whether or not holiness is attainable in this lifetime. perhaps more on this topic later. after accountability, we attempted to share the gospel with people on campus ... got turned down by a couple of people ... was able to talk with this korean guy, but it turns out he's already saved ... but spent 5-10 minutes talking with him, hearing about his walk, and then praying for him. it was very cool. =] i've been really encouraged by the emails and notes people have been giving me because this week is brothers' appreciation week. heh. =] and i've been mondo blessed by all the baked goods too. =] saw jessica today. =]]]] she had calso. yayyyy, she's coming to cal next semester! yeah, next week's gonna be bad FOSHO. i like my mouse. =] it's purrrty ... and so much smoother than my old one. heh. i need milk badly. and a haircut. :-P orange and green -bj

CRAZY story about the faith and heart of our president. =] by THIS GUY that i don't know ... stolen from ben. also check out this afterwards. =] The Real President Bush That I Know As you know, I interned at the White House during the summer of 2003. Here is a little story which my friends have urged me to share with you. One day, early in the summer, President Bush was going through the White House, greeting his staff and the interns. As I shook his hand that day, one of the most humbling experiences happened. President Bush said, "Mr. Ahn, are you alright?" I was dumbfounded and managed a feeble "Um, sir?" Hey, the president of America was speaking to me. And not only was he talking to me, but he actually remembered my name from 2 weeks ago. No matter how much you hate Bush, if the world's most powerful man talked to you, you would tremble just like I did. The president asked me again, "Are you alright, Mr. Ahn?" Still at a loss for words, I replied, "Uh, yes sir." But the president wouldn't relent and said, "But your spirits just don't seem too high." Struck by his honesty, I then did something that surprised me and everyone around; it surprises me even today. I said to him, "Mr. President, I know you're a busy man but I also know that you have a strong faith in Christ. Could I ask you a favor?" Still holding on to my hand, the President of the United States of America looked at me with gentleness and said, "Just name it." I told him that my father had recently been diagnosed with cancer and that he may need to undergo a second operation to remove the tumor. I said, "Sir, it would mean so much to me if you would pray for my father this evening." He began to lead me towards a nearby staff desk as he said, "I guess this explains it. I could tell that your heart was heavy today." From the top of the desk, he took a pen and a slip of paper and asked, "What is your father's name?" He then asked several more personal questions about my dad, while reassuring me with how powerful prayer is. When he had finished writing the personal info about my dad down, he stood up and said that he would be praying every day for my father until he heard the result of the surgery. I told him, "Well, we're praying this is just remnants of the original stage." He said, "Well, keep me updated on his prognosis, ok? And would you mind if I prayed for you right now?" Stunned, I let out a weak yes. President Bush began leading me to a small private room when his personal staff interjected. He waved them off and said, "We'd like a little private time to pray." As they stepped back, I was prepared to do the "traditional" prayer, where people just stand there with their hands clasped, heads bowed. Instead, he placed his hands on my shoulder and started to pray. My throat began to throb as he cried out to God, for Him to show His good and perfect will in all of this and to show mercy on my father. I guess my body shook a bit, because all of a sudden, the President of the United States of America pulled me into a gentle embrace. Still praying with my head on his shoulder and his on mine, I shuddered at the Holy Spirit's presence in the room as the President asked Him to show mercy upon my father and to strengthen him with a confidence in Christ. Afterwards, all I could manage was a weak smile. Again, I was simply astounded at what had just took place, but with simple words, I was able to thank him and tell him that we were and would continue praying for him. This president -- George W. Bush -- actually took time out of his life to cry out to God for my family. He prayed for my family.... that is just amazing. After that summer, I saw President Bush in a different light. I now see a gentle, loving, humble man who seeks God every morning; who knows his sinfulness and repents daily; and who knows that he must be on God's side rather than the public's. *** dude. so crazy. =] add to this -bj

dude, i love my bro tim so much. SO MUCH. heh. he's been a big blessing, and i think we're almost always on the same page when it comes to stuff. it's really cool. heh ... so today he drove me to richmond to pick up my new mouse from the ups store (i had missed their attempted deliveries. heh.) ANYHOO ... got there before they opened, so we just talked. it was good. he pointed out areas where i could improve as a sg leader which i really appreciated. heh. it's good having someone close enough to you that feels they can lovingly point out faults. so ... that was good. then we had a good talk about evangelism and true fellowship ... goodah goodah. i've met a lot of people here at berkeley ... not sure who i'll keep in touch with outside of college (ideally everyone, but i know that's impossible ... just like it was impossible after high school.) but yeah, tim will definitely be one, God willing, that i hope to continue to grow with as the years go by. heh. awwwwww ... so sappy. =P but yeah, it's really cool how we have the same heart for things ... and how we have similiar visions for aacf and stuff. =] kyrie eleison -bj
