I care

I have been 'cursed' with 'caring'. I wish I didn't care about so many things, but I do. The craziness online recently about different controversial issues in Taiwan have been rather overwhelming for me. My heart is in a state of grief. Feel burdened almost everyday for the past few weeks. 

Haven't said much on Facebook. Haven't expressed too many views. I still believe that it's more beneficial to observe, to listen, to find out more. to compare, to quietly form a well-balanced view with a firm foundation. It's been even more tough than usual for me to wade through all the noise online, because it's all in Chinese. My speed in reading Chinese has improved in leaps and bounds over the past few years, but it's still a million miles behind my English reading. 

I have only stated 2 views online: One, I abhor and detest online trolling, anonymous phone threats of violence, and any other underhanded, cowardly way of expressing displeasure at the opposite side's views. I ABHOR IT FROM THE DEPTHS OF MY HEART! This I feel I need to SHOUT. Whatever your views are, state them honestly and civilly. Even with satire if you will. But show your face and name！And don't threaten the other side. 

Another view I have stated was: Traditional does not mean it's right. 'Forward thinking' is often swinging to the other extreme, which is usually just as wrong and destructive.
What we all really need are the 'timeless' truths and principles of God. (Principles are not the same things are 'rules'. That I will expand on later)

There is much that has been milling in my mind. I haven't been so burdened since the time I pondered over Calvinism and Arminianism. Praying that God will lead me on to great revelation and the wisdom to live out those revelations.

I know what you mean. The last three years I've been feeling quite weary looking at the situation in the world and especially in Malaysia.Look at what they are doing to our land.Am I guilty or being too passive? Once I wrote, " Lord, can I not save the earth?" But then, we are not supposed to. I mean, God is supposed to do the saving. However, we feel guilty for eg last week, someone talked about how lazy we get when it comes to the Great Commission.

Fear and Faith

I wish I could get rid of this feeling of underlying fear that grips me once in a while. After every high there is an inevitable crash. Or when I wake up, it's really hard to face the day not quite knowing what you should do or what the goal is in the end.  I can picture this trembling kid in my mind, who's quite desperate to cling on to something for safety and comfort. And that kid is me. But the kid's alone. And there's no one to actually to hang on to, and nothing to hug, not even a pillow. But the kid is also wary of clinging on to anything because that might prove disastrous, as it has in the past. You get entangled with unnecessary things or people So,  Kid is stuck with just holding nothing. Waiting.  I mean, it's not like God never warned or foretold that this journey would be lonely, I'd be seemingly alone, but He would be with me. I would look like I was wobbly but He would uphold me. The only time the fear really alleviates is when God's pres...

陶喆 David Tao Mash Up 2 - 流沙/普通朋友 （by Charis蔡佳靈 + Nray 胡恩瑞 + 森林ㄌㄜˋ園）

高中會重覆聽100遍的歌就是‘普通朋友' 和 ‘流沙‘ ☺️ 很開心可以和  森林ㄌㄜˋ園 團長阿綠把這兩首百聽不厭的歌串在一起，重編成band sound的歌；然後和  N-Ray 胡恩瑞  &樂手朋友們呈現出來。謝謝有才的朋友們的參與！也再次謝謝負責攝影間接 Rick Lin 。希望你們會喜歡～歡迎分享、留言、訂閱、按 💗  ！也可以跟我們說你們要接下來聽的歌 （那些點‘沙灘’的朋友我已看見你們的留言！) I remember re-playing 'Regular Friends' and 'Everything's gone' so many times on the way to school. They were such classic hits! Here's the 2nd David Tao mashup video we produced. My gifted singer/songwriter/keyboardist friend Green Lee sat down with me to re-arrange it together (guess which other song we used as a base for the two tracks 😁 ?). Had lots of fun recording and shooting this with my talented pals! Please help us share around, and do subscribe if you haven't yet!
