An amazing shot by my favorite champion tennis player Roger Federer. He hits a between the legs shot after running from the net to the base line. Absolutely amazing! I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have!
This song titled, “I Will Get There” was created by Boyz II Men and was included in the Prince of Egypt Soundtrack. I remember when I first hear this song, I felt uplifted in my heart and I felt renewed. I listen to it now after weathering one of the storm’s of life and this song resonates more deeply in my heart and in my soul. I realize now that regardless of whatever trial I may face, I will be able to get there or in other words I will be able to make it through the tunnel of trials that I will be required to bare and I will come out conqueror. But I can only do so by leaning on God’s arm of strength and the support of my family; namely my wife, Kristine and my parents and siblings.
Life is not easy. Sometimes in life we are thrown curve balls that hit us right in the face and make us get right against the dirt and cause us to feel of a bitter pain. Well that’s what happened to me in these last three months. I experienced my hardest and toughest trial to date–cancer. I never really thought that I would get cancer but I did. Now after surgery, chemotherapy and the help of many great doctors, to whom I’m grateful to, I am cancer-free. After going through this tunnel of cancer, I realized and learned some of life’s greatest lessons. In another post, I will share with you these lessons but for now, turn up your speakers and play the above song. Remember we will all get through our trials as we trust in God and lean on his foundation of hope. By doing so, we will all be able to do hard things.
In Genesis, chapter 22, verse 1, Abraham is commanded by God to sacrifice Isaac. In the previous chapter God reassures Abraham and tells him to hearken to Sarah his wife and to not be sad for sending away Hagar and his son, Ishmael, for in Isaac shall the promises of God be fulfilled. From this pattern of God’s dealings with Abraham, we can see that God reassures us before the trial. He gives us promised blessings and then he allows us to experience trial so we can know for ourselves that it is only through believing and relying on God an hundred percent that we can be able to weather the storms of life’s trials. In D&C 136:31 it says, “My people must be tried in all things, that they may be prepared to receive the glory that I have for them, even the glory of Zion; and he that will not bear chastisement is not worthy of my kingdom.”
What does this have to do with Abraham’s trial? Abraham’s trial was God’s finale for Abraham’s song of life. In other words, Abraham was required to sacrifice Isaac, his only son with Sarah, because God was testing Abraham to see if he would be willing enough to obey all that God would require of him. For God had promised Abraham that he would be the father of many nations, he had to see if Abraham would choose to obey God, even though the commandment to sacrifice Isaac was contrary to the reassuring promises given in the previous chapter, so that God’s promise could be fulfilled. All of God’s promised blessings are dependent on our capability to choose, follow, and obey God.
In the precise moment, when Abraham was seconds away from sacrificing his son, an angel appeared just in time to prevent the tragic loss of Isaac. In that moment, Abraham proved faithful, obedient, and sealed upon himself the promised blessing that he, Abraham, would be the father of many nations!

My wife and I were at HMV, a music and video store in Hong Kong and we came across a new Chinese artist and really thought her song “Lost in Emotion and Stand By Me” was really good so I thought I’d share it with you all. I really like the electric guitar in the background.

When I tried to start my apache2 I would get the following error.

I ran the following command sudo killall apache2 and then ran sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart and it was able to run!
