Christian Hymn – O the deep, deep love of Jesus
O the deep, deep love of Jesus, vast, unmeasured, boundless, free!
Rolling as a mighty ocean in its fullness over me!
Underneath me, all around me, is the current of Thy love
Leading onward, leading homeward to Thy glorious rest above!
O the deep, deep love of Jesus, spread His praise from shore to shore!
How He loveth, ever loveth, changeth never, nevermore!
How He watches o’er His loved ones, died to call them all His own;
How for them He intercedeth, watcheth o’er them from the throne!
O the deep, deep love of Jesus, love of every love the best!
’Tis an ocean full of blessing, ’tis a haven giving rest!
O the deep, deep love of Jesus, ’tis a heaven of heavens to me;
And it lifts me up to glory, for it lifts me up to Thee!

Sex Is Sex. But Money Is Money. — Matter — Medium
Escorts make $100 a hand job — but entrepreneurs like me? We make $5,000 a night. Welcome to the new economy of the oldest profession.

Sex Traffickers, Meet Your Worst Nightmare
Cat French, founder of anti-trafficking organization Elijah Rising, has (by her count) rescued two dozen sex trade victims and shut down 13 brothels.
It’s the fourth Friday of the month, which means that in a few hours, several dozen volunteers of all races and backgrounds—young professionals, middle-aged couples, bearded country boys in John Deere caps and cowboy boots—will fan out into the darkened alleys and dimly lit cantinas of Houston’s thriving sex trade. There, they will confront, face-to-face, pimps, prostitutes, and whatever else emerges from the sordid shadows.
But that’s in a few hours. First they must prepare themselves, first they must pack into a makeshift chapel that is housed, like the rest of Elijah Rising, the crusading anti-trafficking organization, inside what used to be a brothel called Angela’s Day Spa. Read the rest of this entry

Life out of the window – Ferguson
Source: Give us new eyes
<<It’s been said that our politics are often shaped by what we see out the window. Twenty years ago if you’d asked me if I think police treat people fairly regardless of race, I would have said confidently “Yes” – just like 70% of white folks in the recent Pew survey. In fact, 30 years ago if you’d asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up I’d have said “a policeman”.
Shane’s sharing on Ferguson is interesting.
My two cents:
– A friend who got a law degree from New York shared that his law professors classmates who discuss and potentially work on international issues never got out of America and did not see or know international people.Things got done on paper and inside the window.
– Another professor in Econ shared that an economic researcher on an economics issue of a South American country spent too much money of the grant on economic model and missed the assumption. He wished that the researcher just spent few $K to visit the nation and did some original research there.Things get done on computer models inside the window.
– Years ago, I was so much inspired by a story of a black man and the poor people that Dr. Tony Campolo spoke about that I decided to quit a mainstream white church for a while (I do not mean that the white church is not good!) and hang out at a black church for over a year. And I also decided to check out a homeless center to eat and befriend with the homeless. One morning, the homeless next to me shouted to a man coming in, John the Baptist, John the Baptist, pointing to a man in rags!
Later on, I was so curious about my former good and kind housemate who was an AA that I visited AA meetings for a month to understand her now that we are apart.
Life out of the window really mess me up!
– My short Ferguson story: I was fortunate enough to accompany Grace an activist in CoMo town to visit the march in St Louis in October. As a full time parent student, I was busy, just like the rest of us, so I did not care much. But I was concerned about Grace going alone so I decided to go with her. The experience was fascinating messed me up again.
My bias-aware basic sense is that the police treatment of the black people has been cruel for such a long time all over the US. And now the Mike Brown case hit the mass nerve for demonstration to bring up the issue. Where do I get this? From out of the window.
That is not to say that Mike Brown is good. But well if people practice an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth then why did the police shot him with many bullets?

Cần gì để làm kinh doanh?
Cần gì để làm business, ý kiến từ một business owner. Mấy hôm trước mình nói chuyện với một anh bạn làm consulting ở địa phương, anh ý cũng làm chủ business luôn, người Ba Lan. Do cùng là dân gốc không phải Mỹ nên dễ bonding. Nói chuyện khá hợp vì cũng là dân gốc Cộng sản với anh ruột là Nga Xô.
Nói một chút về kinh nghiệm kinh doanh vì mình chia sẻ mình đang học MBA. Anh ý chia sẻ là anh ý cũng có vài người bạn tốt nghiệp MBA nhưng không làm kinh doanh được, và anh ý phát hiện ra 2 yếu tố cần thiết để làm kinh doanh như sau:
Aggressiveness and flexibility
Dấn thân và mềm dẻo.
– Dấn thân dám làm dám hành động. Thử sai thử sai chứ không ngồi mơ mộng. Cái này dễ hiểu rồi. Cần hành động.
– Còn mềm dẻo là cái gì? Nếu bạn mở một doanh nghiệp và sau ba tháng thấy củ chuối thì không đánh con ngựa chết nữa, mà hãy đơn giản là đóng cửa doanh nghiệp lại luôn. Vẫn là fail nhưng là fail forward.
Đây là cách suy nghĩ của kinh doanh. Rất khác với cách suy nghĩ lãng mạn và liều mạng cứ cố cho bằng được, bảo thủ không chịu thay đổi triệt để của kỹ sư và người làm về học thuật.
– Lúc nào hẹn đi ăn trưa nói chuyện tiếp.
