Kimananda Question Three and Four
Author Notice. Some of you may have noticed my visiting is down from my normal pace. My home firewall does not like blogspot blogs. This inconvenience used to be limited to cbox which may or may not appear when I visit from home. Now it randomly just kills the window when I try to visit. Depresses me so much I don’t visit the people I could visit. Getting ready to just wipe my hard drive and start all over. See if that improves things or not.
Question 3 and 4 are related. Therefore I choose to answer them in the same post.
3. You also find yourself in front of St. Peter because of a heavenly clerical error. You are told you will be given your life back, but with something added to make up for the inconvenience. What something would be added? This something could be a quality, a special ability, something else entirely…you decide.
I would request the gift of communication. This would not be a small thing. This would consist of the ability to read and speak all languages without accent. I would like to speak with confidence and charisma also. And then I would teach God’s word. If he is going to send me back with this second chance then I will teach everyone that wants to listen using this gift.
4. Before you can come back, you have to wait for the heavenly paperwork to be processed, meaning that you will have been gone for 40 days and 40 nights. How will you explain your absence to your wife? She will not have any memory of your erroneous death, and will not know where you’ve been.
When I speak to my missus in perfect Hong Kong Cantonese that I am blessed by God. Well I think she will understand. I would hate to lose her. It reminds me of Moses when he lost his first wife when he returned to Egypt. She refused to go with him. My wife can trust my story bolstered by my Gift of Communication or she can stay and disbelieve. I have to do God’s will. And I will with or without her in this instance. Honestly I am certain she will walk besides me on this road.

Me, me!! I want the gift of communication too!!
No wonder sometimes my windows just shut down on me. It has to do with my firewall…I thought it only happened in ‘bad’/'naughty’ blogspot blogs….

Well I cannot give you the gift of communication Kat, but I can give you a Blue Ribbon for being so quick with your comment.
The gives me all of these annoying buttons. I push them seven times at least and then the blog appears or evaporates depending on my luck. It it evaporates I can hang it up trying to visit blogs for the next few hours. Haiz…

I have a feeling your wife loves you enough to believe you when you tell her where you’ve been.
July 5th, 2006 at 5:26 pm
Me too Alisa. And you have the Red Ribbon post.
July 5th, 2006 at 6:18 pm
all you need is love!
*yawn*

Won’t argue that May May.
July 5th, 2006 at 7:20 pm
That ‘miracle’ of speaking perfect Cantonese will surely convince your wifey that you have been ‘blessed’ in an extraordinary way. But then again, can a crash course in Cantonese in forty days do the same? LOL!!

hei happy belated national day!! i better tell mother superior not to talk bad about you in cantonese when you decide to come for our famous chilli crab hahaha!
blog about religion is never easy. but you did well with your frankness and good that your tried other religion when you were in Japan. I am a buddhist and i had attended church since i was young. i also had 6 year of school in islamic study when i was in primary school. i choose buddhism because it suited me & my family. but i have no qualm if my children want to be christians cos at end of the day, religion is just part of our life. it is not life itself.

In 40 days for me. Heck my accent is horrible after 20 years Bkworm. hahaha
Thank you for the Independence Day greet Seefei. I cannot wait to try out some chili crab.
Yeah. Talking about my faith is tough. I try not to do so too much as is very personal. But if someone asks me I feel obligated by God to discuss his truths.
July 5th, 2006 at 10:44 pm
ahhh no wonder!
my blog misses you!..hahahaha
hope your pc gets well soon!
July 5th, 2006 at 11:12 pm
My PC like me, Pink Cotton, is too fat. I need to do some backups and take off the things I do not need on here. I think I caught up on everyone’s blog today at work? Hope so.

Not here to chup today…
I’d hv thought u’d ask for a pod (maybe?) to zap liu here and there, wherever, whenever… *LOL*
*liu u*
July 6th, 2006 at 4:37 am
Hi Simple American. No wonder that I have been missing your comments from my blog lately. Wishing you good health and a fulfilling day.
July 6th, 2006 at 8:59 am
I wonder where misti is too Angel.
The pod is attractive, but if God gives me a second chance I should not squander it on me. Heck I could have asked for an ocean of wealth too.
Thanks PY. I try to visit from work when time allows.

Awww..thats so awful!

It’s nice to be able to communicate in several different languages. Some people are gifted with that ability.. Now I find it so hard to learn a new language
July 6th, 2006 at 11:12 am
I will liu my firewall Winn. Going to back up all the valiuble data and reformat everything else. So tired of this. Haiz… Glad I can liu you from work.
Latin languages are difficult for me Chen. Don’t know why? Have failed to learn Spannish and French. German was no problem. Korean was really coming on good when I was there. Chinese kills me too. Darn tones are hard to master. Would be fun to be able to speak to and understand anyone on Earth.
July 6th, 2006 at 2:56 pm
communication more than knowing a language. That was such a perfect answer. I would want that too because there have been too many times that I mess up what I am trying to communicate. Plus, I would understand my son’s world of autism without issue. if only…
July 6th, 2006 at 3:21 pm
Thanks Daphnewood. Oh gosh. My best friend’s younger son is autistic. I have a link to his blog, Ed’s World. He posts on autistic topics now and then. He put his son on a special diet and it has worked quite well for the boy. Don’t know your situation but just wanted to let you know you could read of his experinces if you desired.

I want to have the gift of communication too..
Haha.. when you do speak in perfect Cantonese to your wife.. she would have a shock wouldn’t she?
July 10th, 2006 at 10:38 am
My wife would faint when I speak perfect Cantonese. haha
