December began with a sudden low pressure change. The temperature dropped by a lot. It’s kind of nice for a change.
@Cryptopsycho21 in December 2022
Today we played a guessing game to help students remember the vocabulary and question. They have to put a card in their head without looking at it, then guess. They had a fun time.
Just had a nice dinner, even though it was rushed. I had to help some students during my 30min dinner break. Now I have a minute or two to catch up on Noise. I'm still not a fan of the app. Here is a picture of my son wearing his great-uncle's hat. This picture always cheers me up.
By Grace “for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, that no man should glory.” Ephesians 2:8-9 RV1895 https://bible.com/bible/1922/eph.2.8-9.RV1895 Today’s verse is one of humility. We have received the greatest gift ever, but can we ever deserve it? Surely, as sinners, we could never be worthy of this gift. Especially the way the world looks lately. We have received the greatest gifts ever…

Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, "I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life." John 8:12 Today's verse is an amazing reminder of the Lord's almighty power and eloquent ability to express complex meaning in a way that everyone can understand. Darkness can never compete against light. Light always wins because darkness is nothing, while light is energy. Such simple and powerful words. He is our savior…
I just tried to import my noisecash account. I hope it works. Anyone out there do it successfully?
Be Strong “Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.” Deuteronomy 31:6 RV1895 https://bible.com/bible/1922/deu.31.6.RV1895 Today’s verse should encourage us. This is what Moses told the Israelites as they were preparing to leave him behind and continue to the Promised Land. Even though he wouldn’t be with them, God would. And God would take…

Anyone knows what happens to our noisecash channels? I had one, but on the app, I can’t find it . #administration #noisecash
The first thing to do “But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” S. Matthew 6:33 RV1895 https://bible.com/bible/1922/mat.6.33.RV1895 What a great verse to start the day. If there is one lesson I’ve learned from the Bible, this is it. If you put Him first in everything you do, things usually go pretty well. It’s when we don’t consider this and just do what we want that our lives get messy. We can look at the…

Saw this big locust as we were walking around the mountain. He must be lost because there’s nothing but trees around here.
While my wife and I were walking, we passed this tree. I think It’sa papaya tree. I’ve never seen the buds before.
“Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:2 RSV https://bible.com/bible/2020/rom.12.2.RSV Today’s verse is one that reminds me of the comforts offered by this world and just how addictive they can be. The world can be overwhelming with problems, pressure, pleasures, and everything else. It’s easy to fall into the habit of letting…

Seek and find “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:” S. Matthew 7:7 be RV1895 https://bible.com/bible/1922/mat.7.7.RV1895 This verse is enough to turn around one of those days when nothing is going right. Having a bad time, reflect about it, talk to the Lord, “ Why is this happening?” Look for an answer. Quite often when my world is upside down, I ask what the Lord needs me to do. Sometimes, I feel that…

Happy Friday to my noisecash friends. Hope you are enjoying the blessed day.
Technical high school teaching does have its advantages. My student learn how to run a cafe. Free coffee. ;)
The Way j64Y8fZNyA7/img_2702. “Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God.” 1 John 4:15 RV1895 https://bible.com/bible/1922/1jn.4.15.RV1895 Today we have this verse. Have you ever seen such a good deal as this? Even better, it’s not a deal, it’s the truth. The Lord loves us so much, it boggles the mind. But He doesn’t force us to love us back. He wants us to choose to love Him. This isn’t as easy as we will know. When we…

Here’sa close up of the fried fish and taro/radish cake. Enjoy.

Still trying to get used to the noisecash app. Well, one problem is there is no IOS app…yet. So I don’t know how different the website is from the app. I do miss all my friends that I had on the noisecash original. I transferred over to the app, so I can’t post there. I look forward to seeing how the app develops and continues to improve. I know it will. :)
My son and I played animal crossing monopoly. A little more complicated than regular monopoly. Not because of complex game play, but because of tokens. These are the resource tokens.
“They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.” Psalms 126:5 RV1895 https://bible.com/bible/1922/psa.126.5.RV1895 Today’s verse is true poetry from the love of the Lord. In a way, it’s what we are programmed to do. When a love one is in pain, what do we do. We try to cheer them up, right. We accompany them, maybe give presents, or just listen to them. It’s painful for us to see our loved ones hurt. Sometimes we compromise to try to make things right. Our Father in…

My son and daughter were making faces over the phone. So crazy
Beautiful flower for beautiful friends. Even if the weather isn’t perfect, I hope this flower will brighten your day.
The Costco in Taiwan has Chinese new year “year of the rabbit” pet chew toys. So cool.
I love this building. It’s decorated with angels.
I found these lion dance statues at Costco. I might come back and get them. https://noise.app/Cryptopsycho21
Time to play a learning game in English class. Roll a die and move alone the paper. Then ask and answer the question.
Forgiveness “and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you.” Ephesians 4:32 RV1895 https://bible.com/bible/1922/eph.4.32.RV1895 Today’s verse shows us part of the supernatural quality that Christ wants us to emulate. The natural world seldom sees forgiveness. Indeed, it’s a dog eat dog world. Why? They didn’t learn how to forgive. This is one reason the wild can be such a dangerous place. Its made for…

I got a notification that someone wanted to tip me with smartBCH. So I should set up a smartBCH wallet. Does anyone have any suggestions? I searched and found BCH wallets, but no smartBCH.
Just stopped raining. The orchids are wearing their drop jewelry
I don’t know where the big egg came from, but I’d it’s from one of our chickens, it must have died laying it.
You are the light “Ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid.” S. Matthew 5:14 RV1895 https://bible.com/bible/1922/mat.5.14.RV1895 Today’s verse is one of truth. But all the words is Christ are. I love this verse because when it comes to parables and understanding, it is not too difficult and very illuminating. It’s all about light and we know that Jesus is the Light of the World. We have His light in us. We are his ambassadors or light…

Time to get the car by checked. At least Toyota has Christmas decorations up. It makes the waiting and paying a little less stressful.
Passed this beautiful temple in our morning walk with my wife. Finally sunny and clear, but quite cold for Taiwan.
Anyone else out there playing Rising Star?
“By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” S. John 13:35 RV1895 https://bible.com/bible/1922/jhn.13.35.RV1895 Today’s verse is packed with power because of its direct instruction from Christ. It enforces the commandment to love one another and love your enemies. In fact, it should be how we are identified with Christ. But why? Love and forgiveness is not natural in all circumstances. I remembered a history lesson about…

Last year I found a Lego advent calendar for my youngest on a discount sale- it was after Christmas :). Anyway he opened one door today, it had a Thanos glove with infinity stones. I am impressed.
Very busy day. First out of the Christmas parties. This one was for a special class. We made Christmas decorations, played bingo, and made a Christmas tree.
This is the Christmas tree that we did at the Christmas party. Each piece is A4 and a different students colors each one. So putting it together is quite difficult. We should have numbered them.
Good morning. Happy Christmas Eve. Today is our Christmas party. Here’s my student drawing part our large paper Christmas tree. Merry Christmas
Beautiful day for Christmas Eve. We just finished our Christmas party. This is one of the presents we have the children. They all received Christmas legos.
Good Tidings “And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins.” S. Matthew 1:21 RV1895 https://bible.com/bible/1922/mat.1.21.RV1895 Today’s verse is one to bring hope, joy, and happiness. Just imagine the surprise that Joseph must have gone through. First, to find out his Virgin wife had conceived a son. Most surprising is that son is the long awaited messiah and God incarnate. Today and…

Christmas morning my son wanted Christmas pancakes. Unfortunately, we didn’t have any mix, so we went to McDs. Merry Christmas!
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 RV1895 https://bible.com/bible/1922/isa.9.6.RV1895 This says it all.

“Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” 2 Corinthians 3:17 RV1895 https://bible.com/bible/1922/2co.3.17.RV1895 Today’s verse is about true freedom.

Don’t Doubt 23 let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised: (Hebrews 10:23 RV1895) Today’s verse is one that should cause us to rejoice. I like reading the older version of the Bible because it’s more challenging, but I switch versions sometimes. Here’s a more modern version: “Let us hold on firmly to the hope we profess, because we can trust God to keep his promise.” Hebrews 10:23 GNBDK…

Just got our Christmas party pictures. Here's one of my wife putting on my beard and eyebrow whitener.
My student just sent me this picture of us at the Christmas party. One problem with being Santa, no pockets, so I have to rely on others to take pictures.

The Lord instructs and teachers us. However, this isn’t for everything that we want to do. We need to keep in mind that He is God and we are not. We should be His servants and not the other way around. All too often, it’s easy to…

It’s cold in Taiwan and Chinese new year is coming. I’ve thing that changes in the market around this time is the introduction of hotpot goodies. If you have tried hot pot, then you know it’s a hot pot. Just kidding. It’sa pot of hot water over a great source. When the water boils, you add all kinds of vegetables, meats, tofu, and these goodies.
