"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9

Asian-American Article
Dick posted this article on Facebook™ today. It prompted a lot of interesting thoughts. Tell me what you think.
I was inspired by Michael Chang's free sharing of his faith at that historic French Open...even though it wasn't something I was watching.
I did meet him a few years ago, and it did seem like he was a little stiff...was it bad I didn't recognize him when I introduced myself? (maybe he was surprised/flabergasted I didn't recognize him?!?)
I've always thought highly of Michael Chang. In fact, Enoch and I called his hotel room one summer while he was playing at UCLA's Mercedes Benz Invitational. We ended up talking to his brother Carl, but Michael kept making joking comments in the background. But all the while, whether winning or losing, famous or not, rich or not, he always seemed to be the same guy. Maybe he's not the most personable celebrity all the time (who is?), but he was always quick to use his place in this world to share his faith and demonstrate love to people. And for that I will always respect him.

He sounds like a whiner, until the very end.
