'The Today Show' talk about the important role women play in churches. And I think the role of women is the soul of society!
Different Pastor's wife have their own unique calling given by God. In the video, it show Victoria Osteen and Lisa Young on how they support their husband Joel Osteen and Ed young in the ministries in reaching out to more people according to what that is preaches every weekend.
The method use by them are different but the message is the same!
In the Bible... Mt 28:19-20 (The Great Commission), Jesus say go into all the world (WHERE) and preach the gospel (WHAT) to every creature (WHO) but Jesus never say HOW.
So I believe the message is sacred but the method is not. We ought to be creative in reaching to our culture today!
So let support our very own Sun. She is doing a work that no any other woman in Church history has done before. We should be behind her and praying for her. Lets be fancy free!

Time really files... 1 year ago I board a KLM flight bound to Paris for a 3 mths stay. Now is about 1 year le. That time was 1 of my most memorable period of my life. It was a thrill living in Paris and exciting to engage their culture.Below are some of my pictures. I went to Eiffel tower, Euro Disneyland, Louvre, Champs Elysees and 5 days in London for a holiday. I went to Manchester! That was a dream come true for me. OMG.. I shall stop here if not I will go on and on. Hee... is good to look back at my past especially is good memory.
Definitely, I will go visit Paris again. It is like my 2nd nation although I live there for 3 mths only. But I do my grocery, study and sleep there... so I have feeling for Paris. The next time I visit, by God's grace it will be my honeymoon. =)
For those who have not seen my post in Paris for that 3 mths, you may visit my achieves from Oct 2008 to Dec 2008.

Isn't it strange how a 20 dollar bill seems like such a large amount when you donate it to church, but such a small amount when you go shopping?Isn't it strange how 2 hours seem so long when you're at church, and how short they seem when you're watching a good movie?
Isn't it strange that you can't find a word to say when you're praying but…you have no trouble thinking what to talk about with a friend?
Isn't it strange how difficult and boring it is to read one chapter of the Bible but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a popular novel?
Isn't it strange how everyone wants front-row-tickets to concerts or games but they do whatever is possible to sit at the last row in Church?
Isn't it strange how we need to know about an event for Church 2-3 weeks before the day so we can include it in our agenda, but we can adjust it for other events in the last minute?
Isn't it strange how difficult it is to learn a fact about God to share it with others; but how easy it is to learn, understand, extend and repeat gossip?
Isn't it strange how we believe everything that magazines and newspapers say but…we question the words in the Bible?
Isn't it strange how everyone wants a place in heaven but…they don't want to believe, do, or say anything to get there?
Isn't it strange how we send jokes in e-mails and they are forwarded right away but when we are going to send messages about God, we think about it twice before we share it with others?

10 foods for longevity
According to USA Weekend.com, Science says these 10 can help you live longer, better.
1. Tomatoes.
These are a major source of the strong antioxidant lycopene. Lycopene reduces the risk of cancer by 40% -- notably prostate, lung and stomach cancers -- and increases cancer survival. Tomato eaters function better mentally in old age and suffer half as much heart disease. Concentrated tomato sauces (pizza, pasta sauces) have five times more lycopene than fresh tomatoes. Canned tomatoes have three times more than fresh.
2. Olive oil.
It's a major part of a Mediterranean diet, shown to help reduce death from heart disease and cancer. Heart-attack survivors on a Mediterranean diet had half the death rates of those on an ordinary low-fat diet, recent research shows. A famous researcher, Ancel Keys, once declared olive oil the main dietary reason for remarkably low mortality rates among Mediterranean populations. Olive oil, unlike other vegetable oils, is high in antioxidant activity.
3. Red grapes, including red grape juice and wine.
Red grapes have moderate antioxidant power. But purple grape juice tops other juices in antioxidant activity, having four times more than orange or tomato juice. Red wine (but not white) has about the same antioxidant capacity as purple grape juice or tea. French research shows that drinking wine, primarily red, in moderation increases longevity. Caution: Excessive drinking cuts life short, so limit alcohol to one or two drinks a day. Drink grape juice
4. Nuts.
These are one of our early evolutionary foods and ultra-compatible with survival. Recent Harvard University research found that eating more than 5 ounces of nuts a week cut heart-attack deaths in women by 40% and helped prevent deadly irregular heartbeats in men. Almonds and walnuts lower blood cholesterol. Nuts are high in fat, but most is good-type monounsaturated and/or omega-3. Best bet: unsalted nuts.
5. Whole grains.
The more whole grains you eat, the lower your odds of death, a new University of Minnesota study suggests. Middle-aged women who ate slightly more than one whole-grain food per day had a 15% lower death rate than women eating lots of refined processed grains. That calls for more whole-grain dark bread and cereals such as All Bran and "old-fashioned" oatmeal. Whole grains contain anti-cancer agents and help stabilize blood sugar and insulin, which may promote longevity.
6. Salmon and other fatty fish.
Contains high amounts of the type of fat -- omega-3 -- that performs miracles throughout the body, fighting virtually every chronic disease known. Without it, your brain can't think, your heart can't beat properly, your arteries clog, your joints become inflamed. How much? You need at least an ounce a day, or two servings of a fatty fish a week. Both red and pink canned salmon are rich in omega-3. Other fish high in omega-3: sardines, mackerel, herring and tuna.
7. Blueberries.
One of the highest foods in antioxidants, say Tufts University researchers. Blueberries are so powerful in retarding aging in animals that they can block brain changes leading to decline and even reverse failing memory. How much? The human equivalent used in animal studies: a half-cup of frozen or fresh blueberries a day.
8. Garlic.
It's packed with antioxidants known to help fend off cancer, heart disease and all-over aging. Garlic has prolonged cancer-survival time and extended animal lifespans by about 5%, which in humans might add about four years, German researchers have found. A tip from researchers at Penn State: Let crushed garlic "rest" about 10 minutes before cooking it, to preserve disease-fighting agents.
9. Spinach.
This super health-promoter is second among vegetables only to garlic in antioxidant capacity. It's also rich in folic acid, which helps fight cancer, heart disease and mental disorders. In animals, it protects aging brains from degeneration, according to studies at Tufts. New University of Kentucky research shows folic acid may help prevent Alzheimer's disease. Both raw and steamed spinach have strong antioxidant activity.
10. Tea.
Green and ordinary black tea pack the same amounts of antioxidants and have equal benefits, experts say. Harvard researchers recently found that drinking 1 cup of black tea a day cut heart-disease risk in half. Be sure to make ice tea from loose tea or tea bags; instant tea and bottled teas contain minimal antioxidants, tests at Tufts University show.
Hosea 4:6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children
