Sunday morning affair......

So I decided to head on out to a Sunday morning service today.
The church had a pleasant representation of varying age groups. Majority were women (I'm not surprised).
So a charming women I spoke with today said the following:

"Once you get a dose of this pastor, you'll never be able to stay away from him. He is definitely anointed. Every message, God uses him to speak to my heart. He is really anointed. The pastor really knows how to share right words at the right time."

Thought of the day, when did the definition of the word, "anointed" ever become- being capable of providing the right words ( that "hit home-run" )  to individual members of the congregation.

It has turn into such a subjective word.

Well, on a different note: I have a kitty sitting here on my desk while I type away. So he's my new pet (am I making a public statement?)  I was just on the phone with my mother and she told to me make sure to give the cat away. Her perfect reasoning behind her statement was because the cat will live for 20 years.

Life is very intriguing. 

A recap of Altitude Sickness.....

Dates: Oct 7-Oct.16 2011
Location: Hawaii (Island of Hawaii and Oahu/ Mt. Maunakea (Subaru Observatory)
Objective: Coordinate for NHK Crew. Filming for a Japanese TV documentary concerning Subaru.

The following pictures are not quite in the order of each and specific events that took place while the trip but will serve as a good enough recap on what took place on a cool work journey. 

 On the mountain of Mounakea of the Island of Hawaii. On more than enough aspirin to get enough oxygen flowing. High altitude is a killer when you're not used to heights.  This picture was taken my Mr. I (one of the official camera guys from NHK). The gentleman to the left of me is Mr. O, the sound technician. Both gentlemen were very fun to work with! With the beautiful sky up above.

The above picture is the picture of the highest observatories in United States. Sunrise and sunset were tremendously beautiful. It was beyond belief. But the STARS were unbelievable. 

If you can tell, my eyes were turning grey and my lips definitely  purple with altitude sickness. It's not cool. Dizziness, spell of sudden chills and nausea, dehydration, and sleepiness. Not the best condition to work under. My body oxygen content was only 60%. I would have died at sea level.

Not much said about the work itself. I know.
But work can be tremendously FUN.
Just wanted you to know.
