First Post May 5,2007

"I can't think of a good name for my blog!", "I won't have time to write my blog", "Nobody will have interest in reading my blog", "I can't type Chinese and my English is not good enough"....they are my excuses of not creating a blog. Why do I only leave comments on other people's blog but not able to express my own thoughts? However, I 've learned in my sunday school that if I don't take the first step, I can never make it happen. That's how I come up with the name of this blog. Well, it may not be the best name but it's good enough for me to begin my first post.

Here is the biblical story behind "First Step":

Crossing the Jordan River:
"..the priests carrying the ark of the covenant went ahead of them (the Israel people). Now the Jordan is at flood stage all during harvest. Yet as soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and the feet touched the water's edge, the water from upstream stopped flowing...the water flowing down...was completely cut off....The priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan, while all Israel passed by until the whole nation had completed the crossing on dry ground." Joshua 3-14-17.

I always wonder would I have the courage to take the first step if I were the priests?
