Master Chef

Please call me chef wiw from now on cause I just registered a cooking class today starting January. It is an 8 session class and each class you got to learn to do a 3 courses meal. I heard about this class for quite awhile cause one of my friends took it long time ago and she said it was pretty good. You got to learn all the basic cooking skill that you usually are lack of. I wanted to take this course for quite awhile. I could cook by following recipe and stuff. But I am lack of a lot of basic skill, like how to make a sauce, or even knife skill. I know the course would be good for me, just a bit too expensive. I finally decided to take it this coming year. My original plan was to go all crazy and registered the pastry course too. So for a month, I am cooking 3 nights a week (and not to mention how much money I am spending there) But when I called today, their Monday class is all full already (which is the one I want to register) and only Tuesday class is available. Problem now is I can't take the pastry course anymore cause it is on Tuesday and Wednesday. I guess that is good for me anyway cause I would spend my money slowly instead of burning everything all in once! I am actually pretty excited about it after I registered (though a bit too broke) That is my Christmas present for myself....and probably a nicer chef knife.

PS. No, guinea pig is not needed. So you are NOT welcome to come to my house and ask me to cook for you.

Faithful

Just finish reading 1 Samuel for my fellowship reading and had discussion with my friends tonight on after thought. There was one thing really stroke me when I read. It is how faithful David was. When the giant challenged Israelites to fight them one on one, everybody was scared except David. He, without doubt, went right ahead to fight the giant. He truly believed that God would protect him and never have one second in his mind that questioning if he is doing the right thing. He has complete trust in God that He would protect him. Never worry about whether he may die battling a giant one on one. To him, it seem like a very natural thing to do, no doubt or question about it. Of course you can walk into a battlefield and grab some small stones up against a 9 foot tall giant with a spear. Of course you can fight him. And no doubt you will win. Because God is with you. That truly amazed me. I honestly don't think I could do that. If the obstacle is physically presented right in front of me, I don't know if I could just take a step with faith and walk towards it, fully trusting that God would protect me. I think I would be like other Israelites hiding from it. The other day I heard a pastor said someone asked him if his life affect in anyway after 911. He answered he believed it won't be his time to die until God said so. I don't know if I can ever be that faithful. And no doubt at all!
