It's beaux's birfday dinner tonight....
I will be there but I won't be eatin'.
Last night I went to small group and It was a whole discussion on femme boy products... Yeah I inspired a whole group discussion on Neutrogena.... I can see it now... CPC men all using Metro products.... Hahahaha! Nah I am just kidding.
This morning I was thinking about strange things.... I guess Donald Song (new friend) was talking with his friend about how the first generation churches really believed in power of prayer and we the English speaking Korean American Church just can't pray like the first gens can.... So I brought this up to Fou-Sen and he had an interesting perspective.
At first he pretty much laughed at all people and how weak we are.... But his point was that his first generation Chinese Church is also very dedicated to prayer vs. The EM group of the Chinese Church, who is more into applications and practicality. He say it is usually because the first generation is in Survival mode. He says that usually the first Gens come to America with no resources and basically all they have is their reliance on the power of Prayer.... Where as the 2nd Gen usually are very asimilated here and are very different in the way of thinking.... Basically the second gen is not in survival mode....
Here is a couple things that Fou-Sen pointed out that made sense....
1. Second Gen MUST respect the fact that the First Gen built the churches for them....
2. First Gen must NOT expect respect and must NOT demand nor ask for it.....
3. We are all part of the same family.
Thinking about it, there are many things that I respect about the first gen Korean churches.... Not only their prayer life... But their relentless work ethic.... Very respectable.
Some how he tied it all into God knowing what we need. And not over blessing or under blessing us... God is just perfect.... He is always good.
I don't know how but the discussion ended with him asking me this:
If God gave you a million dollars right now, how would you react?
Oh boy.....
Oh the debauchery that would go on..... I am at peace knowing, He will bless me when the time comes... When I am ready for it. But it sure would be fun to find out what I would do....
So what would you do?
Buy a house? A car? What? Invest?
Me? I would tithe.....
And buy some more Neutrogena products.... hahahaha
