people often tell me that college hasn't changed a lot of people. we visited sfsu and stephen stated how everyone there had stayed the same. i agree many people have not changed. college, i feel, is a great maturation force. i've noticed a lot of peole have matured mentally, emotionally, and, more noticably, spiritually. i'll admit, i didn't know people's spiritual maturity levels before school started, i just know the spiritual maturity of many of my classmates has been much more evident since college. i see alan auyeung going to church and Christian fellowships, and hanging around Christian friends - something i wouldn't have expected from him. i see christine man attending aacf and encouraging her fellow ccsers at sfsu to go, too. i see my roommate stephen, really on fire for God - getting involved with church activities, and attending college fellowship meetings and Bible studies. i see my friends carise and victor getting involved with their church and their college fellowship. i see anthony finding time to go to a church in davis, and church at BACBC when he's back in the area. i see vir becoming a pianist for aacf and really getting involved with the club, as well as her church-away-from-home i see countless other classmates attending churches faithfully even though they're away from home it's just been a total blessing to see God working in so many of my classmates' lives. they say one's spiritual life will either take off or fall flat in college. i'm glad so many seem to be growing in their walk with God. for those who aren't in college yet, i think the key to having your spiritual life grow by leap and bounds is finding good Christian friends on campus. while it's true that in the end, friends don't determine your relationship with God, having good Christian friends do help you be accountable and encourage you in your walk. i know they truly have helped me. my words could not express - not even in part - of the debt of love that is owed by this grateful heart -bj 
wow, i blacked out yesterday night. i went to lie down at 6ish 'cuz i had a headache. the next thing i know, it's 9:30. i tell myself that i'll get something to eat at 10 'cuz i was kinda tired still. i fall asleep and next thing i know it's 12ish. i try to stand up but i'm dizzy so i decide to lie down again before i brush my teeth. the next thing i know it's 3:30. i decide to brush my teeth and go to bed. i wake up again at 5, but i konk out again. now it's 9:50 in the morning and i'm still kinda drained ... illness ... yuck. pls pray for the families of those astronauts who were killed on the Columbia Shuttle. -bj

bryan is mp3 player hunting ... is it worth it to get a color lcd screen? hmmm ... i'm sure that really hikes up the price, but i really do like the idea of watching Samurai Jack, Dexter's Lab, or Naruto on my mp3 player ... is it worth it? let me work it ... hahaha -bj
people on public buses can be so rude anyhoo ... yesterday i caught a mouse in our garbage can ... actually, i didn't catch the mouse ... i just kinda found it there ... we wanted to keep it as a pet for our suite, but our RA threw him outside. poor, poor francis ... francis doormouse. i would like to wish the CCS regional science bowl team the best of luck tomorrow ... go do me proud. :-) were the whole realm of nature mine that were an offering far to small love so amazing, so divine demands my heart, my life, my all gung xi fa tsai -bj

I went to AACF today ... good stuff ... lots of good stuff to blog about, but Bryan is a sick puppy. Key thought from today's message: Walking by faith takes total surrender and perseverance. I like it ... I shall expound more later. -bj

i just wanted to publicly commend stephen for being a lot better in terms of diligence. i'm quite impressed that he has been studying, reading ahead, and going to classes. :-) i know this area's been something he's been working on for a while. keep it up, buddy! i'll be praying for ya. clear as mud -bj
so i went to sfsu yesterday... what an adventure that was! (oh yeah, stephen stole some money at the bart station ... lol) anyhoo ... first the shuttle to campus didn't stop at the dorms so me and stephen were stranded in some strange parking lot ... luckily we were able to find our way back ... sfsu has a very modern looking campus, but it's a lot smaller than berkeley. there dorms are nice, too. i LOVE their sofa beds! i want a sofa bed! that is so cool! anyhoo ... their dorm food was significantly better than ours. i'd say the whole atmosphere on campus was just a lot more relaxed. i liked it. i should go visit again. :-D yup yup yup. oh yeah, then me and stephen got lost on bart ... we almost went all the way to pleasanton ... we were thinking of getting off at west oakland until some stranger warned us not to. very exciting. to top it off, stephen lost some money somewhere ... pickpocketers ... haha. :-D ... anyhoo ... i'm pretty sick right now ... gonna go nap. bye. excuse me while i vomit -bj

so i'm sitting at my computer, staring at the place where I melted my monitor (long story; almost set our room on fire ... there's a big dent in my monitor right now), when i thought to myself "why does evil exist in the world?" if God is loving, how come it seems like evil men and women go unpunished? i've asked myself before, and i've heard many people give their opinions on the matter, but I've only heard one argument that I agree with. what if God is using the evil of men for some higher plan, a plan that we (in our feeble minds) cannot comprehend? think about it. God sent His only Son to Earth. Satan must have been saying "Alright! The Son of God on my home turf!" Then it what was arguably the darkest day of history, Jesus was crucified. Satan thinks he has won. Yet God uses this evil (the killing of the Son of God) to bring about a greater good - salvation for mankind. If God can turn that greatest evil into greatest good, he can turn everyday evil - homicides, abortions, shootings - into good as well. why'd you have to go and make things so complicated -bj

I can do all things Through Christ who gives me strength But sometimes I wonder what He can do through me No great success to show No greatness on my own Yet in my weakness he is there to let me know His strength is perfect When our strength is gone He carries us when we can't carry on Raised in His power, the weak become strong His strength is perfect His strength is perfect ain't that the truth? -bj
