A lot of time I consider myself crazy. most of the time i do crazy things, but not all the time. There is a reason why i want to do crazy things and i will explain in this blog. I heard one guest speaker of our school who said, "normal people don't make difference. It is the crazy ones who makes a difference. They are the ones who make crazy things in order to make changes." I believe in that because normal people are in their comfortable zone. But normal people do have little bit of crazinezz in them. That little craziness is the one that make little changes. I think that is enough for now. Now i want to tell a little bit about myself and to show why i focus on the term crazy.
When it comes to mission, when it comes to learning, when it comes to marriage, when it comes to adventure, whatever opportunity that comes my way, i want to be crazy in it. And here's how it goes:
MISSION: I believe in my heart and have prayed for many years that God will call me to a mission field that is different in my culture and the way i live. I will combine this with the LEARNING and explain more. When i am in a mission field that is out of my culture zone, i learn a lot and be able to appreciate a different aspect of life. When I encounter different people, i will be able to learn different aspect of solving daily problems in a different and in a positive ways. This helps me grow in my knowledge. I speak about learning and motivate myself to be a learner because as a Christian, it is my goal not to stop learning because Christianity does not have it's finale at the middle of my earthly life. the finale is at the end of earthly life. until then, the whole environment of life is a learning process. I grow in my spiritual walk if i learn. if i don't learn, i will not grow. In order to learn, i need to encounter different culture, different people, different worldview and be crazy, or be different.
LET ME GIVE THE DEFINITION OF CRAZY IN MY OWN TERM. BEING CRAZY IS WHEN WE DO DIFFERENT THINGS BEYOND NORMAL LIFE. ....TO BE CONTINUED......
Please pray for Papua. They are under affliction and some of them have been persecuted just because they want to be free. These people are very close to my heart because they are neighbor to PNG which is where my great grandfather came from.
You ladies like this flower because of its red pedals and its yellow seed that makes this flower more beautiful. I bet you did not know that the little yellow on this flower were its seed.
Here is one thing that I want to show that you can take it as a lesson. When you see the yellow seed, that means that it's mating time for this flower. You might say, "Well they all have yellow on it everytime i see it. That might be true, but remember that everytime you take that flower off its branch, you stop it from mating. So what's the solution for this problem? I will show you step by step and you might be interested in doing it. It gives you more activities with this flower.
Hybiscus contain two major components of its reproduction. Now, what you are looking at on top is what you call pistil. On the very tip of this pistil, it contains four round, red, and fluffy and we call that Stigma. The small straw that connects the Pistil to the Stigma is what you call Style. As you see at the bottom picture, you can see Pistil and Style.
Bellow these Stigma and Style, there are what you call fillamen. There are over seventy fillament that are attached to the pistil. These fillaments contains numbers of Anther at the tip of them. Anther in a common term are the seed of Hibiscus. The bottom picture will give you the idea of what the fillament and Anthers looks like.
They are actually more like spiky rounds. The bottom picture shows the upclose shot of Anthers.
As you know that male and female have to mate in order to reproduce another kind of theirs. Same as the flowers. The Fillament will bloom, which cause the Anthers to be fully exposed. When they are fully exposed, the wind is able to blow them to another flower. Another flower also contain Stigma, which catches those blown Anthers.
If you are one of those ladies that always picking the Hibiscus flowers, here's what you can do to help the reproduction of this flower. Get the flower that you want, and rub its Fillaments to the Stigma of another Hibiscus before you put it on your ear. Its a win win situation. You help the process of reproduction of this flower, but at the same time, you still be able to stick the flower on your ear.
