Ingratitude is a Wicked Sin

A good sermon by Mr. Nathan Crockett http://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=33111129455

Isaiah 53 (English Standard Version)

1Who has believed what he has heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? 2For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. 3 He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4 Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth. 8By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people? 9And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth. 10Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. 11Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied;by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.

Once Upon a Time

Today, all of a sudden I had a flash back of an old memory. I'm not sure what brought about the nostalgic moment, but it sure made me smile.

It was reminiscence of the time when I was about 8 years old. I remember walking home after school, and when I had arrived at the front of my gate, I opened the door. To my surprise, something about the size a melon swung toward me.

Chilling at Clemson

Yesterday, it was predicted by weather forecast that there would be a 100% chance of snow. The state of Georgia was expecting 2-7 inchs of snow. It hasn’t snowed that much in a long while. I’ve heard that the whole state of Georgia has only two snow plowers. This would mean that most of the roads will be inaccessible whenever there is bad snow. People around my cousin’s area were going crazy. Almost everyone was preparing for the bad weather. According to Home Depot, the newly arrived parcel of deicing salt was sold out in less than 30mins. Schools were closing and many people had already planned on staying home. Some had stock up their food supplies for fear that they might be trapped at home for a couple of days.

I, my brother, and my cousin had to leave for Clemson, which is about two hours drive up north from Suwannee, Georgia. We were all heading back to school. The plan was to spend a night in Clemson before heading back to Greenville. As predicted, it started snowing at around 12 am.

Today, the roads are completely covered in snow. It looks like me and my brother will be spending a whole lot more time in Clemson than we initially planned. On the bright side, our school has allowed students to return at a later time, when the roads are safe to drive on.

There isn’t much to do here. The only thing we could do is to go outside and play with some snow, which is exactly what we did.

Bird tricks

Time really flies. I can't believe it has been 4 years since I put up this video.

A day in College

Yesterday was so far the busiest day of my college career. My day started out at 7am. I got up, got ready for class, quickly went for "Grab-and-go", and when to my first class at 8am. My first class was Organic Chemistry Lab. The experiment was going the way it was suppose to until we reach the part where we had to filter the solution. It was then that we waited, and waited, and waited. The solution had too many big particles that it started clogging the filter paper. We had no choice, but to wait for it to drip, drop by drop until it was finish. Somehow we manage to complete what we were doing just before it was time to go to chapel at 11am.

After chapel which ended at 11:35 am, I had lunch and then I headed off to the library to get the answer key for grading some math homework that was due at 1pm. I quickly graded my homework just in time before the class. I went to class, hand in the homework, and took a test. When the test was over, I went to another class for another test. Finally after the second test was over, I went back to my room at 3pm and started studying for a quiz which was at 4pm. After my 4 o'clock class, I went for a quick dinner and then I went to the place where I had to take a test at 7pm. I had roughly about 1 hr 30 mins to cram. The test finally ended at 9:38pm. I was dead tired, yet I could not fully relax because the next day I had another test and quiz.

God is good. Yesterday went well. On the final test, the teacher put this verse: "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness." (Isaiah 41:10) The test today also went well. Before the test I felt like I did not study enough for the test, but my friend reminded me that there is only so much that we can do in the time that was given. Now that everything is over...I'M FREEEeee.... !!! =D . . . . but only for awhile =s *sigh*
