Sat for 3 hours

Well, where do you think I sat for 3 hours? In front of the computer you may have guessed.

I was reading up on a American/Chinese who is or was an aethist, gay, filmmaker. That is if he is alive still.

He was doing a documentary on underground Christian churches in China and was arrested back in February 2006 in Bejing, and has not been heard from since.

His story and past postings were interesting and at the same time hard to process. You see one of his blogs before he was arrested tells the story of a his shooting film of a "house church" meeting. During this gathering of about 20 or so Christians, the police came to harass the group. He had started the filming, and then went to take a nap in the other room during sermon part. Shortly after he awoke the cops came, started their harrassing, and finally noticed his camera.

That's when the focus of one angry cop turned unto him and his taping. He refused at first to turn over the tape, but in the next room, the very same room he was earlier taking a nap in during the preaching of God's word, the tape was turned over. The threat was given, "You don't want to mess with us."

After the cops left, the group prayed and were strengthened from this event like so many other persecuted Christians have been in the past. This filmmaker witnessed all of this... fully awakened.

But this man...
It's blowing my mind now to try to imagine what the Lord is doing in his life right now.

wow
maybe I'll try to comment more later on this...

May the Lord bless you -
His Truth be known

Dreary Days...

The sun peeked out a bit last evening in Menno, but otherwise its been kinda dreary here. Rainy and chilly has been the weather since Tim left to go back to California. Well, I'm definitely sad, but things will be alright :) He made it there safely - Thank the Lord.


We will both have some time to reevalute things and um... miss each other terribly.





Here is someone else that is missing Tim...
:)

Maybe the sun will come out tomorrow?
