Hi, everyone!
I really felt happy to read your comments, enjoying your valuable holiday. It’s wonderful.
This afternoon I was reading a book I borrowed from the library yesterday and very impressed with it. Although I haven’t read it yet to the end, I’d like to recommend it for the best book of this year. The title is ‘web jidaiwo yuku,’ written by Mochio Umeda, a sequel of the bestseller book which was published last year. The author compared the Web world to a free superhighway for learning, and everybody could arrive at some point along that way.
His statements were very positive, optimistic, and realistic. For example, he quoted a proverb, ‘in the right place at the right time,’ and said he learned this word at Silicon Valley. In addition to this, he mentioned that ‘only the paranoid survive.’ That is to say, this book is not only for a computer programmer but also for anyone who try to attain something great through Internet. I think I am surely ‘in the right place at the right time.’ I’m sorry for my poor comment about it, but it must be worth reading.
So, see you tomorrow. Good bye!

Hello, Cherry and my dear friends.
Today I roasted chickens for Christmas dinner with baked May Queen potatoes and salad for my small family including my DH, daughter and me.
I almost read Silence.
One Portuguese priest visited Japan in the Edo era when Christianity was severely prohibited to teach. He met his compatriot priest who was known as a legendary missionary but he was forced to change and throw away his Christian faith by the government. He confessed that Japan is the place where Christian faith could not be cultivated. People in Japan tend to produce their own faith that is quite different from Christian faith. In other words, Japan is a swamp where Christianity could not take root.
Gloria, an American woman whose husband is a Japanese missionary in Kariya said that teaching of Christianity easily enters a house but passes through the house in Japan.
I’d like to find out why it is so difficult for Christianity to spread its roots in Japanese soil.
Good-night, my dear friends.
Hello, friends.
Yesterday I read an interesting article about Christianity in Japan written by Endo Shusaku. He said that "Cristianity, which matured as a father-oriented religion in Europe, was converted into a Japanese style mother-oriented religion and underground Christians(Kakurekirishitan)worshiped rather Maria than Jesus Christ."
He also insisted the tendency of adoration of mother was remarkable in Asian society. As for Buddhism, we also belive in female Amida Buddha.
Hi, everyone.
Can I ask you, Sunflower?
Before the Edo era, instead of Christian missionary, if Isramic mission had come to Japan, what would have happened to Japan?
How many earnest buddists are there in Japan?
Have you finished year-end house cleaning yet? Today, I did some parts of it. The rest of it accounts for majority. oops! Can I skip it? I think yesterday was the end of the year, 2006. However, it is a fine day for the cleaning. Thanks to God.(Shintoism, so deity?)
