SUNDAY MORNING

Sunday morning undoubtedly is the best time for me. There's nothing to hurry about, as our church service starts at 2 pm. Compared to other mornings, this is one you can sleep in the longest time. Therefore, it does not make any difference for children or adult, for we all look forward about this time in  a same degree. Life is rather slow, peaceful and reminiscing.

My wife would prepare breakfast for all of us. When it is finally a time to get up, coming down from second floor bedroom to the kitchen is always really inviting. The mixed aroma of  bacon, sausages, crepes and toasted bread from the kitchen heightened the appetite. And then followed by a prolonged ingestion, while discussing how our families back home in Mizoram are doing.

I am sure 20 years hence, when I look back,  this is going to be one of the time I would cherish the most.

We can watch TV  leisurely..as my son Zela does.

And I,  trying to get enough sleep to make up what I  lost  a week before.

Bible reading time..time changed, books gone;  reading Bible verses from iPhone and iPod.

Kids love reading more from 'i' stuff.

One read the verse while others follow from his/her own

Same apps and same version is downloaded for each one of us, then we can be in congruity.

RETREAT 2012

It's been awhile since I had participated in some sort of camping for fun or for gospel.  Back then when Mizo population was less in numbers, Mizo Society of America used  to organized camping for fun once  year. An isolated camping site where we would never be bothered nor would we intrude anybody else was selected. Usually the camping went on starting from friday evening till sunday noon. We used to have social gathering, singing Mizo songs, games and sports were indispensable; of course Mizo good food was always the main attraction!

But thing have changed. More and more Mizo came from Burma and Mizoram and while I thought the more would be merrier, our MSA leaders did not share my thought anymore. They fear that we would not be able to control our youth, and we would lead them to uncontrollable temptations. With those skeptic thought  in mind, camping is never organized anymore by the MSA.

My church, Presbyterian Mizo Church of USA and the original Mizo Presbyterian Church USA merged as one Mizo Presbyterian Church on July 22 2012. The celebration of unification took place in our church, Greenridge Baptist Church in Clarksburg, Md on the same day with the presence of Rev.Vanlal Bela and a host of well wishers. It was a memorable day indeed!

And here we are after two weeks of the unification, our church leaders sorted out a retreat program in the woods. This was something I have not done in a long time, a time regroup myself, a time relax, a time to study the Bible, a time to pray more, a time away from phone calls, a time without GPS, a time free from alarm clock, a time to take a break from meat, hmarcha and fat restriction, a time to chit chat with friend without  keep looking at the watch, and most of all, a time to melt down for all of us as one Presbyterian Church.

Let me share with you some of the RETREAT photos, hoping it might be  a TREAT for you too.

REV. BELA IN NEW YORK

New York, 'A city that never sleep' is truly a very vibrant city, day and night. You won't understand until you were practically inside. To describe New York one may  use any word like, huge, tall, congested, fast, fun, fair, free, crowded and it will fits it all. Washington DC is always called 'Most powerful city in the World' while New York is called 'Greatest city in the World'. It is probably true on both.

That day, July 10 2012 (Tuesday) was a special day for us, especially for Pu Bela, as he travelled from the World's Most Powerful City to the World's Greatest City in the World and back.

My wife and I wanted to take Rev.Vanlal Bela to New York City to show him what its really look like. I had asked  my kids if they would like to come along, but nobody wished to. To visit US without seeing New York is rather incomplete, thats why we would like to take Pu Bela before he went back to India. Even though Rev. Bela kept on saying he had seen New Delhi and never believed there could be any better. However, once we got there and be there, we didn't have to say anything; he was automatically convinced that there could be a better and greater city than New Delhi!

We went there just for a day. But it was long enough for him to have some idea about the city, especially Manhattan, I guess.

Rev. Bela adjusted well in the Street of New York .

A 40 HOUR BLACK OUT!

There was no warning, there was no proper weather forecast, it happened quickly. It happened so devastatingly. If it was hurricane there could have been some warning, but it was just a storm, a severe storm, a very wicked storm that caused us a 40 hour long power outage. Unbelievably suffocative.

It was friday June 29 2012, I remembered it was 10. 30 pm, our only inleng that  night Tv. Mawitea realizing that we were working the next day left us all of a sudden. He had had not made it far, the rain started pouring down, thunder and lightning came blasting. Our respected house guest Rev. Vanlal Bela of Aizawl Bawngkawn, had just turned off his window unit AC in his room, and immediately went to bed. Lucky him, he did not have to go thru all the turmoil. Then I saw our house light got flickering, therefore, I warned my family that there could be power outages. Nobody seemed to heed, they continued whatever each one doing. I couldn't blame them as it rarely happened. The storm did come, I could hear it, I also felt it,  and immediately followed by the black out! And then blazing lightning, flashing thru the windows, a long with loudest ever thunder, a very unpleasant sight, a very unpleasant sound!

For more than ten years in the US, we have never had any power outages longer than  1 minute. There may have been a couple of times we had black out, but each time it lasted less than a minute. That night nobody really prepared for what to happen. We just  hoped that  everything would be back to normal in a matter of a minute. But  it didn't. After a minute or so we started to get panicked, rummaging for the flashlights, candles, lighters etc. You could imagine how frustrating it might have been, we were not prepared. There were no reason to stock candles, flashlight nor any kind of lamps.

It was a record breaking hot day that FRIDAY day time. The temperature read 104 f. which was somewhat equivalent to 40 degree cc. Washington DC metropolitan area experienced the hottest day in 138 years. This was the time we need AC the most. With the power outage, needless to say, the AC stopped running, the fans stopped spinning and all kinds of blowing machines ceased to work. Due to severe climate, apparently, houses are designed to withstand  extreme temperature, totally air and watertight, impermeable, there was no chance at all for outside cool breeze to sneak in  once  doors were closed. Therefore in the absence of AC, cozy rooms have become a hot furnaces in a weather like this.

Aside from cooling absence, what looks so simple but so hard to cope with was smelly bathroom. In every bathroom, somewhere above the toilet they install an exhaust fan in the ceiling. This is meant to blow the smelly stuff out of the room. Once the blowing thing does not work, unless people cease using the toilet, the smelly thing comes to life!

Bathroom can also get smelly for some guys miss their target because of darkness.  Many bathroom do not have windows for natural light to get in. In this case, in the absence of enough light, especially when there was no power, you know, some incompetent men tend to miss the bulls eye and spray to the floor instead. This is not only stingy but also yucky.

As many  traffic lights went dark, driving out in the street was really chaotic. Drivers especially new drivers got panic  more and therefore caused more car  accidents. At every intersection where traffic lights went dark, drivers carefully had to yield all directions before crossing the street. And its a moral duty for drivers to stop and go and to drive defensively. This hampered the traffic flow and took much longer than it usually did.  Another problem this storm brought about was road closed. Many streets and parkways were closed due to falling and uprooting trees.

The next day, saturday was as hot as the previous day. On this day four states, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Maryland and District of Columbia declared state of emergency. Many offices, shops, businesses were closed. Government made some preparation in setting up cooling stations in many places. They opened schools, libraries, malls and public places longer for people to come and cool themselves off. This arrangement helped the needy a great deal. Greater Washington metropolitan area practically came to a stand still. It was recorded that  more than 1,000,000 houses did not have electricity, many houses were down, and about nine people were dead in connection with this storm.

It was said that all the generators in the shops were sold out almost instantly. And for the first time candles were set up and lighted not because we wanted to make the occasion romantic nor because any birthday celebration was taking place! It was just because we needed some light, any light. From a car radio we learnt that utilities companies worked round the clock to repair the broken lines. However they kept on saying that the restoration work might take weeks to complete the job. We didn't know when would our house be fixed, and we just waited... with fingers crossed!

On saturday, I came home early from work and there were not much to do. Since it was so hot and messy, there was no point in going out. At the same time, there were none to do at home either. There were no TV, no internet, no telephones, no cooking possible, no refrigerator useable. The only thing we did was spreading bed sheets on the first floor and lay there, reading books; doing yoga, and took nap in between. That was the only thing we could do, and the only thing worth doing,  the only cool thing at this point!

The floor, where we relaxed whole day.

Then came sunday. We got invitations from friends to go over their houses to eat and possibly to sleep over. My kids naturally wanted to take advantage of our mishap by suggesting us to go to a nice restaurant. However, as friends were so insistent in having us to have food with them, to my kids dismay, we went to their house and spent our sunday free time in an AC  house.

While we were at friends house, my kids called our home phone to check if we already had power. As long as the call went straight to voice recording mode, we knew that we  still didn't have the power. They kept on calling and calling until the phone kept on ringing. Once the phone ring non stop, then we knew that our power had been restored. It had been a 40 long hour black out, an experience we would never ever want to repeat...but it was over ..yay.

Our area has alway been lucky in regards to natural calamities, we were grateful about that. In other states; land slide, land sinking, mud slide, wild fire, flood, drought, tornado, earthquake etc. were pretty common. We believed that we were free and would never be affected with all these adversity, we always thought these were only for other states; but now we realized that we were wrong. We now admit that our area is as vulnerable as the rest of the country when it comes to natural calamities.
