i'm supposed to be typing up my SAS midterm paper right now so i don't have to overwork myself the next 2 days, so lemme make what i wanna say for now short...

after buying the DOD AC adapter, and going back to Davis, it turns out that i bought an AC adapter which won't work... at least they still sell an AC adapter for discontinued fX pedals like the one i have... so i'm gonna have to return it and get the correct one this time... no more mistakes, reach. don't worry though... i still have some batteries, so i'll just have to do this worship session with batteries... well, actually i could do the actual thing with the adapter... just that the practices will have to be with batteries.

jerm needs help losing weight... he really does... pray for him...

that's it... keep encouraging me, bob(and whoever from our church is reading this): i can get pretty lazy at times.

oh yeah, i know we don't usually talk about the taiwanese congregation side of our CTCC church, but if you read this, please pray for Pastor Tong... a large part of the taiwanese congregation doesn't like him. it seems like he's just taking advantage of his long contract. according to my mom, he spends at least 1 week out of 1 month in Indonesia, and when he's here, his sermons are hardly scripture-based. no lesson to them either. and sometimes it also seems like his pride gets in the way... like one time he told the taiwanese choir right in front of the entire congregation that their music wasn't good and that when he was in the indonesian choir, everyone lined up to believe in jesus. what else... oh yeah, how bout the fact that he barely knows anybody from the congregation by name? also, we can't get rid of him, cause we signed a contract that puts him here for 4 yrs i think? so i think the only solution is to pray that the elders will have the courage to talk to Pastor Tong and tell him that some of his actions aren't right and that he needs to change them. now, i'll be honest... i haven't been going to the Taiwanese service, i'm going strictly by what i heard from my mom... haven't asked around the others to see if what my mom's saying is true. but if it is, once again i ask ya to pray for the elders. geez, all this plus what's going on with the youth group makes me wonder how much our church is crumbling apart.

w00t! w00t! w00t! i'm gonna love worshiping God! let's get it on!
