a good thing (芒果剉冰)

mango chawbing

This tasty treat is  芒果剉冰 (pronounced: mang gou chouw bing).

It is ice topped with fresh mango and condensed milk.  It costs about $1.25 USD. 

I love this dessert!  It is perfect on a hot summer afternoon after bike riding. 

If you ever happen to be near FengShan, give me a ring and I'll treat you to a bowl.

at work "做你所愛，愛你所做，那你這輩子都不必再工作。" "Do what you love and love what you do, and you will never work a day in your life." To pay my bills and allow me to live in Taiwan, I teach English majors at a college in Taiwan. I love it! :) My favorite are my writing and public speaking classes. I also enjoy my teaching method course. Above is a picture of me with my English writing student Amy (photo by my brother, Sam).

yes is yes; no is no Why do we needlessly feel that we must explain ourselves? And, why do we ask others to promise that they really mean what they say? During wedding week, my mom and I started saying "no explaination needed." Yes, we will have different opinions and ideas, but since we were all competent women we could trust that even though they were different they were still all good ideas. There was no real need to explain and justify every decision we made. Oh, it made life so much easier. We didn't have to defend everything; we argued less because we just trusted each other and quit justifying everything. Recently when someone was going on ad nauseum about their answer when a simple "yes" or "no" would have sufficed, I remembered something my dad taught me a long time ago. I had asked him to do something. He said "yes." I then asked him to "pinkie swear" that he really would do it. He responded that his "yes was enough." He then quoted the second half of James 5:12 "Let your 'Yes' be yes, and your 'No,' no." My eathly father was teaching me, but my Heavenly Father was convicting me. I really did not need to ask others to promise above and beyond their "yes" and "no." I needed to trust others and allow my own "yes"s and "no"s to simply be yes and no. You know what? Life is actually much easier when we know someone's "yes" is yes and their "no" is no. No need to doubt. No need to question or beg. We can trust that they mean what they say. Life is also eaiser when we don't have to "pinkie promise" or explain why. So, I am consiously trying to once again be aware of the command in James 5:12--and be obedient. Trust me; it's not as easy at it might seem.
