Proverbs 4:23
I really hope God will watch over my heart. Does that previous sentence sound lame? Haha.. it is la! Of course God watches over my heart. I thought of this as I came home from small group bbq. Observe the many many translations:

Hmmm.. Lastly, I’ve been trying to think ahead of the watchman nee book I’m reading. What do I mean? I’m trying to predict what he says next and get the picture before I read it. Like, since we must crucify the old man daily but Christ was already crucified for us and our sins but that was for our sins. So what does it really mean to crucify the old man daily and die to self. This man, I believe, must have been taught by God himself. How else would any man understand what he writes in such great volume? I’m going over to Zegang’s place. Then picking tim and lulu in the morning! Goodnight my friends.
