I was reading a book at the Starbucks, sitting on a single comfy couch, enjoying quiet rainy Saturday evening with a warm cup of latte.
And this big black guy came in. Ah, I know that guy, he’s the guy who sells the ‘issue’ magazine on the street. He must have finished for the day. He looked around and found a seat in the big couch which happened to be in front of me. As he squeezes his big body in and sit on the couch, people were starring at him with discomfort… It’s emabarrasing but even I was concerned if he’d smell bad and ruin my evening.
It’s been already a month now since I’ve been to the Wimbledon Tennis Championship. Indeed, the time flies so quickly. Also, I can’t believe, it’s already nearly 1 year since I came here!!
Anyway, putting my laziness behind and I’m putting the photos from my very first Wimbledon experience which was amazing! One of the very thing that I wanted to do once I come here was to go to the Wimbledon Tennis Championship…..
Last Sunday, David Cook, the principal of SMBC Sydney, came to our church and preached on the topic of the ‘Authentic faith’ under James 2:14-26. During the sermon, he mentioned that the authentic faith is a faith that is accompanied by the outflows of the faith, and not merely having an understanding and possessing the knowledge, namely the doctrine, but that involves the outflow, namely the actions and deeds. In other words, one may say that I understand the cross, the grace, the justification and all. And yet, if that doesn’t come with the outflows such as deeds and actions, it is rather a counterfeit faith, the faith that leads to the cemetery (that’s the original greek word used for the ‘dead’ in the verse 17.
This week has been quite cooled down a bit but the weather in the past fews weeks has been just fabulous. The temperature hits mid-high twenties and sunny without rain everyday for almost two weeks and it was just beautiful. London in the Summer will be so beautiful and I’m so excited…..it’s like we had just one week of spring and straight into the Summer. I can’t believe that it snowed in London just a month ago. Anyway, since, the weather was so beautiful, I decided to go out and take some photos of the Sloane Square, the other side of the my town.
This is the Kings Road, the famous shopping street of the Chelsea. It is located adjacent to the Sloane Street, another famous shopping street, however, Kings Road is more affordable shopping street whereas Sloane Avenue is more like a window shopping street…..well at least for me.^^
This is so funny, I had to share. They are Korean Canadians….and the drummer used to be in the band with ShinJoongHyun in Korea. It was recorded in 1990 to celebrate his 30th anniversary of being a musician…Enjoy!
