i watched Day After Tomorrow yesterday with sun and terrance. i always thought the preview looked kinda cool but everyone i asked seemed to have no interest in the movie. luckily, i have my set group of movie friends who are down to watch almost anything with me. i think we all agreed that it had been pretty long since we all felt so tense during a movie. it is probably the best disaster movie i've ever seen! but man, there was this one part that really opened my eyes...

so this kid's dad is a climate expert and he tells his son to tell everyone that he needs to stay inside or else they were going to freeze to death outside. so everybody starts leaving the place to walk outside b/c they don't see the danger. the kid desperately asks people to stay inside and to trust him b/c he knows that his dad is right with these kinds of things. but everyone is leaving and many people freeze to death. i think that scene is so similar to evangelizing to nonchristians. our Father knows best and tells us to tell spread the important news to everyone. but people have such hardened hearts and they do not listen. the scary thing is that they will not merely experience a freezing to death. they will experience spritual death...forever.

i got sick last night. i got REALLY sick today at church. it went from a minor sore throat to an aching flu or fever. today was like the first time i didn't finish my jjajangmyun at VIP. when everything you eat tastes like newspaper, you really appreciate your regular appetite that you have...which reminds me of another anology:

Romans 5 talks about with so much sin, there is so much more grace. however, we definitely should not think that we ought to sin more so that grace would inrease. i was thinking about my life and how i foolishly live in my sinfulness. we know so much better but we continue to fall in our sin. i was thinking that was pretty similar to cutting your leg and taking medicine. when you're in so much pain, you appreciate the medicine b/c it relieves and heals the pain. the greater the pain, the more you love and cherish the medicine. however, only a fool would continue to cut his leg just so that his apprecation for medicine would increase more. i don't know, i'm never good with analogies. but this was something that i just thought about during the week (whether or not it makes sense).

Thought of the Day: I really envy SD and Riverside
Song of the Day: Mercy Me-Here Am I
