Sometimes I forget how special a simple kiss can be, but I’m quickly reminded when I am sick or have a cold sore. Because then I try not to kiss Jenni to keep her healthy. I’m sure there have been times we threw caution to the wind and kiss anyway.
Like our first kiss. Though we were attracted to each other, our difference in faiths prevented us from moving beyond a friendship. However, I went against her wishes and gave her kiss. Her commitment to God prevented us from kissing after that day. She did not want a kiss without a relationship with her and with the Lord; she wanted a man to kiss her when he loved her and her God.
Perhaps it seemed very serious to some, but we had different faiths, and we were both sensitive to each other’s feelings and not wanting to jeopardize our friendship.
Thank God that we only endured one month before kissing again. And it was like a first kiss again because, by that time, I had fallen in love with Jennilyn, but more importantly, I had discovered the source of love, Jesus.
As I was replacing a headlight lamp, I managed to drop a socket somewhere in the engine of our car. At first, it was lodged where I could see it, but when I went after it with a long screwdriver, it fell somewhere I couldn’t reach or see. 

Some things are a constant: like new clothes from my mom for Chinese New Year. I’m sure my mom has a blast now that she gets to buy girl clothes instead of boy clothes when my brother and I were kids. My resident art director and wife got everyone dressed up to show my mom how great the new dresses look on our daughters.
I never get tired of the foggy mornings in the winter knowing that sunshine is in the forecast for the afternoon.
Although the picture is just beads at the bottom of a flower vase, it reminded me a lot about Avatar. Something about the green-colored stems reaching down to translucent beads makes it look like magic.
