Dear Annie,
You are doing great! All the hard work you've been putting in at KW will pay back in the years to come. I believe that you will handle bigger deals next year; your work ethics and good attitude will not only promote yourself, but also will bless many of your clients.
Be faithful on the little things; God will entrust you with more.
Be humble and learned; God will honor you with wisdom and knowledge.
Let's both become a channel of blessings.
I love you.
ps. I am going to sleep now.

Home Alone
I miss my wife. I am home alone, not bored but alone. It's her first time traveling for business, and I am proud of her. You are very brave, baby.
Be safe and have fun!
I've finally realized this - the anointing attracts people to know God; the administrative structure and organization management of the church keep the people.
Lord, help me and all core leaders growing in administration and structural management at Impact.

the Golden Compass
This is an email from Saddleback Church. It's up to you if you want to support the movie or not. Thanks for reading it through.
I hope you're having a great start to the Christmas celebration season. And that, if you're facing some tough times, you're finding strength daily in God's great love.
We've been getting a lot of questions about a new movie coming out this week. People are wondering about things they've heard about "The Golden Compass." The concerns you may have heard about this movie are true. It's an anti-God movie posing as a children's movie. The ads compare it to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but the fact is that its view of the world is exactly the opposite.
The movie is based on the first of a series of three books by Philip Pullman that are anti-church in their core message. When Pullman was asked by the Washington Post what C.S. Lewis (author of the Narnia books) would think of his books, he answered, "I'm trying to undermine the basis of Christian belief. Mr. Lewis would think I was doing the Devil's work." And he told the Sydney Morning Herald in 2003, "My books are about killing God." I love the wisdom in this article from Christianity Today: http://www.christianitytoday.com/movies/commentaries/fearnotthecompass.html. It's a great encouragement to not be afraid of the message of the movie, because the message of Christ is so much greater. And an encouragement to voice our disagreement with the author's message with a Christ-like spirit. And a warning not to be tricked by the hype around the movie - the most hateful parts of the books have been removed in this first movie in order to attract commercial success, but in a recent MTV interview the director stated that if this movie is successful, the future episodes will not be "watered down". Personally, I won't see the move, not because I'm afraid of its message, but because I don't want to support its message.

$50 dollars tip
For the first time in my life, I got a tip of $50. Thank You, Lord.
Joshua and I went to work for nearly 8 hours today and surprisingly enough I got a tip from the home owner. I would say, this is the toughest house cleaning I've done so far; can't believe that Enoch did all the moving and paint job by himself. My back is killing me right now. I am so proud of Joshua, Enoch and myself. We made the difference on that house, eh?
Pray that someone will buy that house soon.

God, You are my Foundation
I will bring You gold, silver and costly stones. Let me walk through this valley and pass all the trials that are before me. Surely Your goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life. I shall yet praise You, O God. For the help of Your countenance.
Smile back to You.
Hear me.
Smile back to You.
Hear me.

Thank you all...
After reading Alice's blog, I was very much encouraged. Thank you for taking notes on Sunday, Alice. That truly encourages me when you guys are serious about Sunday teaching; I never thought that I was good at teaching the Word of God, I pray that I can be better at it. Alice's blog made me wanting to be a better teacher of God's Word. I pray that God gives me the revelation on the sermons that are relevant and life-changing to our congregation. Please keep praying for me. Thank you.
After reading all of your blogs, guys, I only want to say - Thank you. I am so happy and thankful to have all of you!
Love,
Jack
