Bees in my gate

One day when I was going to school, I opened the gate. There were little pesky black flies swarming all around the gate latch. I thought they were very annoying. Later, I found out these annoying flies were actually tiny little black bees. These native Thai bees were looking for shelter from the rain so they decided to live in our gate latch and in the fence post! I'm not sure what kind of bee they are. We have not seen any honey yet. They have stung me a few times, but it felt more like a mosquito bite.

We have tried to encourage them to leave and go find a new home. But they are determined to stay. I guess they like our gate latch, so for now, this is their home.

Cleaning Bangkok Black

Today I helped at a new church plant. I was helping to get ready for evangelistic meetings starting tonight. I helped clean the bookshelves with my mother.

It was all covered with “Bangkok Black”. You may ask, “What is Bangkok Black”? Bangkok Black is the pollution that comes from the vehicles – gasoline cars, diesel buses. This pollution falls like snow from the sky, and covers everything. I dusted the bookshelves so they were nice and clean.

Jesus wants to clean our hearts from the pollution of sin.

Isaiah 1:18
“ Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the LORD,

“ Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool."

Pray for the boys and girls from this neighborhood. So that they can have Jesus clean their hearts from sin's black pollution.

Questions for my blog readers:

1. How do you clean the "Bangkok Black"pollution in your house?
2. Is your house clean as crystal?
   
3. Have you asked Jesus to clean your heart?
