My Favorite Place to Relax
 |
| Japanese Style Building |
Since 2005, Tian Lai Hot Spring Resort is my favorite hide-away from the city.
The place has only 2 building, my favorite Japanese Building (new)
and the European Building (old) in the opposite.
Knowing Keelung
Keelung is situated in the boarder of Taipei County,
but I included the place here in my blog
since it's part of Taipei-Keelung
Metropolitan Area
.
Keelung Port is the major port city of Taipei, etc.
Keelung Miaokou is the famous Night Market.
Keelung is always raining :)
Keelung is 20 minutes away from the place where I live.
(that's why we also have a lot of rain)

About Prioritizing in Life
If you are married, your spouse comes next after God. A married man is to love his wife as Christ loved the church (Ephesians 5:25). Christ’s first priority—after obeying and glorifying the Father—was the Church. Here is an example husbands should follow: God first, then his wife. In the same way, wives are to submit to their husbands “as to the Lord” (Ephesians 5:22). We can draw from this the principle that her husband is second only to God in her priorities.
If husbands and wives are second only to God in our priorities, and being that a husband and wife are one flesh (Ephesians 5:31), it stands to reason that the result of the marriage relationship—children—should be the next priority. Parents are to raise godly children who will be the next generation of those who love the Lord with all their hearts (Proverbs 22:6; Ephesians 6:4), showing once again that God is first in our priorities and all other relationships should reflect that.
Deuteronomy 5:16 tells us to honor our parents so that we may live long and things will go well with us. No age limit is specified, which leads us to believe that as long as our parents are alive, we should honor them. Of course, once a child reaches adulthood, he is no longer obligated to obey them (“Children, obey your parents...”), but there is no age limit to honoring them. We can conclude from this that parents are next in the list of priorities after God, our spouses, and our children.
After parents comes the rest of one's family (1 Timothy 5:8), then fellow believers. Romans 14 tells us not judge or look down upon our brothers (v. 10), nor to do anything to cause a fellow Christian to “stumble” or fall spiritually. Much of the book of 1 Corinthians is Paul’s instructions on how the Church should live together in harmony, loving one another. Other exhortations referring to our brothers and sisters in Christ are: “…serve one another in love” (Galatians 5:13); “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you” (Ephesians 4:32); “…encourage one another and build each other up” (1 Thessalonians 5:11); “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds (Hebrews 10:24).
Finally comes the rest of the world (Matthew 28:19), to whom we should go and bring the Gospel, making disciples of Christ among them. In conclusion, the scriptural order of priorities is God, spouse, children, parents, extended family, brothers and sisters in Christ, and the rest of the world.

Just Another Reflection
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight
Back at me?
Why is my reflection someone
I don't know?
Somehow I cannot hide
Who I am
Though I've tried
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
(Song from the movie Mulan)

After the Typhoon
I saw these hearty leaves on my way to our Church
It was world news that we had Typhoon last weekend,
I live in Taipei and we're not that affected.
But, the southern part of Taiwan
is still flooded up to now!

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival
September 22, 2010 is Moon Festival
In Chinese Calendar, it's the 15th day of the eight month
Moon Festival is associated with grapefruit and mooncake.
(I guess grapefruit is in season and it represents the shape of the moon!)
Here's one that I like, not too sweet mooncake...
In Taiwan, it's a holiday!
Mostly people here are having barbecue or
get together party while gazing the moon!
中秋節快樂!!!
Ju-ju-be
Juicy, Juicy, Jujube
At first glance, they look like green apples,
also known as Chinese Dates.
There are also red, small kinds of Jujube.

Light on Dark Clouds
What do you see? Clouds or Light...
Sometimes, I also asked why?
All my prayers for others, the answers are all "Yes".
All my prayers for myself, the answers are all "No" or "Not Yet"...
All my prayers for myself, the answers are all "No" or "Not Yet"...
“...we also rejoice in our sufferings,
because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
perseverance, character; and character, hope.”
- Romans 5:3-4
"And now men see not the sun which is in the clouds;
but the wind passes and clears them."
Job 37:21.

A Dry Leaf
(photo taken @ Tian Lai Resort - September 2010)
A Dry Leaf
Leaves are like ideas in the mind
They come when needed
They flourish and give life
They flourish and give life
Light and great wisdom
When ideas have served their purpose
They need to be swept away
We must constantly sweep out the old
And give way for the new one
Man breathes for life
As he reaches
His old age
It will cease
And will fall apart
Like a dry leaf…

Whte Bridge Along YamgMingShan
When we were in YangMingShan, I took shot of these mountains right from the balcony of our hotel room. Actually, we passed through those mountains from Taipei City to Tian Lai Hot Spring Resort for about an hour. I was bit dizzy :)
Along the way, we also passed the long white bridge above, connecting YangmingShan and Ji Shan (Yangming Mountain and Ji Mountain)

God Promises a Safe Landing
Cast your burdens upon me, those who are heavenly laiden
Come to me all of you who are tired of carrying heavy loadsFor the yoke I will give you is easy and my burden is light
Come to me and I will give you rest ...
(taken from the song Lift Up Your Hand )
Sometimes I also ask, "Why Me?"
Here's the answer...

Look Up and You Will See
What do you see?
Last weekend, we stayed in one of the resort here in Taipei County called Tian Lai. The place is in the middle of Yang Ming Mountain and Jin Shan Mountain, 45 minutes away by bus from Taipei Main Station. As we look from our balcony I saw shapes...
