Travelling again

I will be leaving tomorrow... better yet, later. It is already saturday morning, early morning at that and here I am, surfing the net. I had to open my computer since I forgot to activate the automatic response feature of my Outlook in the office (reasons! reasons!). So here I am, trying to keep myself awake and forcing my mind to think of something to write. An ordeal.

Once again the Lord has blessed me with a trip to Paris. For 6 working days, I will go through an office training and thereby truly understand how each French agency is connected to one another. I thank the organizers for adding another Monday since this sandwiched one week-end which gave us trainees an opportunity to visit tourist spots in Paris (or surrounding areas). I hope to see Mont St. Michel and also Auvers-sur-Oise.

And there is another treat! I will also be spending a few days in Geneva! I am excited to see this place for this is where Jean Calvin and Martin Luther flourished after they were forced to leave their own countries.

I have to go for now... ny eyes are drooping. They are begging me to let go and just give them rest.

Lion Chaser Manifesto

Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking God. Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past and start creating the future. Stop playing it safe and start taking risks. Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Enjoy the journey. Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can. Live like today is the first day and last day of your life. Don't let what's wrong with you keep you from worshiping what's right with God. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails. Criticize by creating. Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks. Don't try to be who you're not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away.

Chase the lion.
