Memoirs of Anthony H. Su

2020/06/27 22:09 A second blog series to recall and recommend. This is about the significance of US history to the people around the world. This was inspired by attending the oral defense of Cho-chien Feng yesterday at 2pm through web meeting. Here is his resume as of now .  I knew his dissertation plan for a long time and I had listened to one of his special speeches about some of the content in a special speech gathering of the Taiwanese Association of America in St. Louis last year. I was not inspired of any actions of me until yesterday. It would help me and the author by having a blog series to talk about and learn from that dissertation. This does not mean that I will study that part of history thoroughly or become a historian.

Shortly after we started the online worship beginning March 15, 2020, Dr. Yu Hao, a brand new PHD in education and the deacon in charge of worship services, gave me an idea to start a brand new Hymn Briefing half hour before the online worship service starts every Sunday, at 9:30, utilizing my recorded demonstration of the h...

This first draft is for sharing with Pastor Aline. It's been almost half a year that we, the whole world, simmer in the muddle something we hardly know. Our lives, activities, habits, and many things are affected more and more seriously. Today, as we prepare for the special Sunday that we don't have regular online worship service and are encouraged to participate in the online worship services of other churches, I cannot help but think about what we are expected to get out of this in terms our growth, especially the spiritual growth. Another challenge to me is about capturing, documenting, and telling what we can witness regarding this greatest revelation from the above ever since the creation of this world. One of the key things I receive is about the new ways, including the new forms, of worshiping our creator Father, actually the Trinity God. There must be some message attached to whatever we are going through. The first thing, among all the acts of knowledge development, is...
