Hello friends! I pray all is well. Last week we heard about a teenager in our area who committed suicide. We also heard about a young adult who was raised in our church who was killed in a motorcycle accident and his funeral was held last week. When I hear these sudden tragedies, I always wonder what happened to their souls. Fortunately from the reports that I’ve heard they were believers and so I am reassured that they are in heaven. 

Hello friends. I hope you are doing well. Fall semester of community groups have started in many churches. I really hope that you have joined one of them. Our women’s prayer group started this week. I am reminded by the Holy Spirit that it was ten years ago when my spirit was being stirred up to go out of my comfortable place in a women’s bible study group to create a prayer group. It took about a whole fall semester of prodding for me to take that step of obedience.

Hello everyone! I just discovered AI Bible when I read an NPR news article reporting it. It was really cool in case you can use it to share and show to others.

I also re-shared my older message about angels and demons after reading in the news that the movie “Conjuring” took in nearly $200 million dollars in their opening weekend in our country.  This movie is about demonology and exorcism. I don’t think my prayer group members watch horror movies but I wanted to let them know that they need to pray more urgently for their children, grandchildren and their peers who may watch horror movies for entertainment. I hope you can also warn those that you influence that horror movies are not harmless and will leave an unhealthy imprint of demons in their minds. During a spiritual attack they will run away or won’t fight back because of their fears and lies portrayed about demons in these horror movies. I’m reminded about baby elephants who are trained by circus trainers to obey them. Even when the elephants grow up and become very big and powerful, they won’t fight back the trainers. They will never try to pull out the flimsy chain around their ankle too.

I just had a very vivid dream. I was walking on a highway. For whatever reason there was tremendous traffic and so all the cars and trucks were basically not moving. It was a type of traffic where one moves faster walking than being in a car.

My new word for this academic year is “Gather”.

Hi everyone. If anyone is interested there’s a Community Bible Study group for those who are looking for in-person or online sessions. Their first meeting starts on Wednesday, 9/10 and their study is on the book of Psalms. Here is a link to their promo video. Watch this short intro video 
Here is the CBS website for locations throughout the world. Hmm…perhaps it’s a great way to meet friends from a different country and to practice your foreign language skills. 🙂

I had a dream on 8/12/25 before I woke up. It was so vivid. The gist of the dream is that I am living life with vampires. I remember helping them by setting up wide and strong tent because any crack would allow the sun in which can hurt and burn them badly. I felt like we are traveling nomads and so we are not in permanent homes but tents like the ones used by nomads who live in desert. I remember in my dream that I would sometimes stitch or even use duct tape to patch the tears on the tent roof so that the vampires won’t get burned from the sun. I remember I had to be very careful and mindful of their nature living together with them – they are vampires. That’s when I woke up.
