so fresh and so clean clean

The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever. The rules of the Lord are true and righteous all together.  
                                                                                                                                              Psalms 19:9

This has been resonating through me all day. I think because it is soo true. 

does it count as china?

Last year in July I had the privilidge of swinging by Hong Kong on my way to and from Thailand.

The purpose was to visit my lovely friend Wing. 

She lives in Hong Kong, is a treasure, loves to pray for people, and has been an amazing supporter of me through teary skype calls, with money, and through heaps and heaps of prayer. 

Vulnerability.

I just watched a Ted Talk about Vulnerability.  Watch it.  It's worth the 20-minutes. 
Here's a gem: 

Courage:  Telling the story of who you are with your whole heart.  

inner restlessness

An inner restlessness grows within us when we refuse to get alone [with God] and examine our own hearts, including our motives. As our lives begin to pick up the debris that accompanies a lot of activities and involvements, we can train ourselves to go right on, to stay active, to be busy in the Lord's work. Unless we discipline ourselves to pull back, to get alone for the hard work of self-examination in times of solitude, serenity will remain only a distant dream.  
How busy we can become . . . and as a result, how empty! We mouth words, but they mean nothing. We find ourselves trafficking in unlived truths. We fake spirituality. How easy to fall prey to meaningless talk, cliché-ridden responses, and mindless activities! It was never meant to be that way; but, more often than not, that's the way it is. 
To break the habit, solitude is required. The hard work of self-examination on a recurring basis is absolutely essential.
