I did not write this but I am reposting and sharing because it is how I feel right now too!! I hope you will take time to read it. I pray for our country everyday. Only God can heal our land! 🙏🏻
I’m so confused right now. I see signs all over saying black lives matter. I’m just trying to figure out which black lives matter. It can’t be the unborn black babies. It’s not black cops. They don’t seem to matter. It’s not my black conservative friends. They are told to shut up if they know what’s best for them by their black counterparts. It’s not the black children in Chicago that were killed last weekend with not the first protest or sign of rage. It’s not the black business owners.Their property does not mean anything. It’s not blacks who fought in the military. Their statues are destroyed by the black lives matter protesters with disdain. So which black lives matter again?
Black Lives Matter. OF COURSE THEY DO! Then when multiple black police officers and individuals were killed during the “peaceful protests”, I didn’t see any outrage? Black individually owned businesses burned to the ground. Silence. Deadliest weekend in Chicago. NOTHING!!
I can’t keep up. I just can’t. I’m exhausted trying to figure out what we’re all supposed to do, believe, and be offended and outraged by next.
Two months ago, First Responders were all the rage. In fact, they were heroes. We gave them free coffee, meals, and cheers as they drove by. Today, we hate them and want them defunded because they can’t be trusted. 4 weeks ago a taser was considered a deadly weapon in Atlanta and caused 6 officers to be fired. 2 weeks ago taser was stolen from a police officer and fired at him, but now it’s not a deadly weapon anymore.
Two months ago, truck drivers were the heroes, as well, for keeping America moving and the grocery stores stocked. Today we block the roads with protesters, drag them out of the cabs and beat them half to death.
Nurses and Doctors are still cool, for now. But they may be unemployed. They too are heroes, unless of course they truly believe all lives matter. Then they’re filled with hate and are part of the problem like so many others.
Just 45 days ago protests weren’t “essential” and were considered criminal, selfish and a murderous activity. Today they are gloriously critical and celebrated. All of the obvious criminal and murderous activities are simply ignored. If you protest about lock downs for freedom, you are selfish and you will spread a virus. If you protest, loot, and riot for social justice, you are a warrior and the virus fades to the background.
Trust the experts. No, not those experts. Don’t wear masks ... wear masks, but only good ones. Wait, don’t wear masks, wear anything as a mask. Never mind on the masks. Not sure, but if you don’t, you hate people because you could be an asymptomatic spreader. Wait. That's not a thing anymore?
For 3 months, NOTHING was more important than social distance. In fact, we gave up all of our liberties for it. We canceled schools, medical and dental procedures, canceled activities, closed businesses, eliminated every spring rite of passage from prom to graduation, denied people funerals, even at Arlington, and we wrecked the economy for it.
Then came social justice, and social distance was no more. Now things are more cut and dried though. A thousand people at three memorials for someone they never even met. It's a matter of "respect". But you can only assemble 100 or less people. I have friends who have lost family members but we’re not allowed to have a funeral.....
I’m really confused now. Look at the data, NO, not that data. Do the math. No, you can’t do the math like that. Only the experts can understand the data and math. What do you mean other cities/states/governors are interpreting the data differently? Pools are safe in Indiana, but not Michigan? Playgrounds are safe in your town but not mine? Amusement parks are safe in Florida but not Ohio, nor Michigan.
If you are silent you are part of the problem. If you speak, you are part of the problem. If you have to ask, you don’t understand. If you don’t ask, you don’t care.
It’s all so predictable, tedious, and exhausting. Nothing adds up. It’s one gigantic Math life problem, with ever changing denominators that I’m sure the media and politicians are eagerly ready to solve for us...until the next "crisis".
So, for now I pray. I pray God will heal our land and bless the United States of America! Bless us with Wisdom, Kindness, Gentleness, Mercy, Love, Peace, Healing. Things that Really Matter! We all Matter in God's Eyes!

記得這天去台北中山區的W&M workshop 的時候,點了一杯外帶拿鐵,沒想到老闆問我要來一杯免費的冰巧克力嗎?反問他:為什麼這麼好,有免費的巧克力喝?他說:過幾天就情人節了,我無以回報,就只能送上一杯冰巧克力....於是我就這樣免費獲得手搖冰可可外加一整天的好心情❤️
W&M 與日本東京passage coffee 合作,使用極淺焙的單一產區咖啡豆,拿鐵溫度適中,非常順口,果香酸氣、甜味都表現極佳,第一次嚐試來自東京的豆子,留下極美好的印象。

“‘I know your deeds, that you are neither cold (invigorating, refreshing) nor hot (healing, therapeutic); I wish that you were cold or hot. ~‘So because you are lukewarm (spiritually useless), and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of My mouth [rejecting you with disgust]. ~‘Because you say, “I am rich, and have prospered and grown wealthy, and have need of nothing,” and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked [without hope and in great need], I counsel you to buy from Me gold that has been heated red hot and refined by fire so that you may become truly rich; and white clothes [representing righteousness] to clothe yourself so that the shame of your nakedness will not be seen; and healing salve to put on your eyes so that you may see.” (REVELATION 3:15-18 AMP)
The passage above caused a lot of confusion to me in the past and I thought that Jesus vomiting out someone from His mouth meant that a backslidden Christian can lose his or her salvation.
That couldn’t be further from the truth. Let’s study it closely to see who Jesus is talking about.
Hint: Jesus calls them truly poor, blind and naked.

東京メトロ丸ノ内線・西新宿駅から徒歩4分。JR新宿駅からだと少し歩きます。東京都庁や超高層ビルが立ち並ぶ西新宿のビル街の一角、新宿野村ビルの地下一階にひっそり佇む名店は、オーストラリア出身のポール・バセット氏がプロデュースするエスプレッソカフェです。オーストラリア出身のポール・バセット氏は、コーヒー界の天才児と称され、25歳でバリスタ世界チャンピオンになりました。以前は銀座、自由が丘にも店舗がありましたが閉店。現在は、ここ新宿店の他に、渋谷ヒカリエにある、パティシエ辻口博啓氏とのコンセプトのカフェ「LE CHOCOLAT DE H / Paul Bassett」があります。
渋谷ヒカリエの店舗にも伺ったことがあるのですが、渋谷ヒカリエの店舗と比べると、ここ新宿店は店内が広々していて座席数も多く、客席がとても開放的。ちなみにこの空間は、隣接する店舗「PIZZA SALVATORE CUOMO & BAR 新宿」と繋がっているため開放感溢れるのも頷けます。椅子やテーブルは木が印象的で、大きな木製テーブルが存在感を放っていました。
今回いただいたコーヒーは、ブレンドをエアロプレスで。
エアロプレスは2005年に開発されたコーヒーの抽出方法の一つで、見た目が大きい注射器のような器具を使います。エアロとは空気という意味。プレスとは圧力をかける、という意味です。その名の通り、空気の力を利用して圧力をかけて抽出するので、エスプレッソのようなコクがあり、ドリップやフレンチプレスなど他の器具とはまた違った味を引き出すことができます。
こちらでいただいたブレンドは、フルーティーな華やかさのある明るい酸が特徴的でした。豆本来の味を崩さないよう、焙煎度合いはそこまで深くしていない様子。
ドリップの金額プラス100円でゲイシャ種がたのしめるそうで、この価格帯でゲイシャ種をいただけるのはお手頃価格なので、気になりました。
ここPaul Bassettは多くの珈琲人を輩出していることでもとても有名です。Fuglen Tokyoの小島賢治氏、ONIBUS COFFEEの坂尾篤史氏、そして、今回いただいたエアロプレスの世界チャンピオン、PASSAGE COFFEE佐々木修一氏も皆、Paul Bassett出身です。
優秀なバリスタ、ロースターを輩出するポール・バセット氏の育成術も興味深いポイントです。
西新宿の高層ビル街の雑踏の中、広々とした空間で思いっきり美味しいコーヒーを飲みながら仕事、なんてちょっと贅沢ですね。

passage coffee 在 TheGRIMFILM Youtube 的精選貼文
A short film by GRIM FILM's newest member, Sidney Chan from WayangTree Productions. The sound of music has an effect on us that not many would realise. Listening to familiar melodies can send us off to a faraway space and time; such as the first time and place we met, spoke, or laughed together.
"Resonance" is an experimental film about conversations through memories and non-linear storytelling. A single conversation takes place across several different locations, parallel to each other, signifying the passage of time and the developing relationship between its two main characters as recalled in memory.
Originally conceived as a simple promotional video for HELP University's FrequenC club's 5th Annual Concert, the project grew to what it is now; shot within 7 days and released just in time to be the concert's opening video on June 4th, 2014. Resonance draws several inspirations from other films; particularly old school Hong Kong dramas and Wong Fu Productions, with Joe Hisaishi's Kikujiro as a point of reference for the theme song (which had been lovingly composed by budding violinist Joshua Lew).
The crew from WayangTree Productions had been a strong supporter of FrequenC, and had collaborated in making short films since 2012.
As the original members had since moved on with their lives and its director Sidney Chan moving on to GRIM FILM, Resonance is WayangTree's final short film, and will remain dormant for an unspecified time.
This film was a race against time and an incredible adventure of chance, new and renewed friendships, and new experiences - it was a first time for the majority of the cast and crew, including the main actors. Every single person had their lasting impact on the development of this film, no matter how big or small. God bless everyone!
