sighting!

I was browsing through the Sartorialist today and I found this girl as the newest entry.
Though i can only see 25% of her face, I swear this is my friend sarah cho who used to intern with me at MOCA. Funny thing is there is no way to confirm it because I do not know her phone # or email and I can't go on facebook anymore. But just in case, she somehow randomly finds this blog: is this you!?!?!

testimony

You need to see this... all eight parts of it.

After watching this documentary on Liberia, I couldn't help but to have mixed feelings towards the conversion of Joshua Blahyi (a.k.a. General Butt Naked)- a Liberian warlord-turned-preacher. As I was watching the documentary, I was moved to tears by his amazing testimony, but after finishing it, I was left with a strange aftertaste of repulsion, bitterness, and awe.

Though Blahyi's testimony was a true testament of God's grace & mercy & power to transform, I couldn't help but thinking- how could God save this man who was a ruthless murderer, rapist, and cannibal? How could he choose this man and neglect all those people who are "kind" and "good" in the general sense? What is God's rationale for choosing His elect? It was all pretty difficult to swallow.

On one hand, it is monstrous, unfair, completely unjust. But on the other, it is miraculous, transcendent, and amazing.

two unsolved mysteries:

1. Somebody left a hand-made, orange snowflake ornament in my mailbox, and I have no idea who it was. The only clue was that it was placed in an envelope with "Merry Christmas" written in fancy penmanship.

2. Also, a pair of tan, worn-in gladiator sandals appeared in my house today. They were kind of cute. My only guess was that it was a lady friend of my brother's, but it wasn't. If no one claims 'em, I might just keep them. There was also a cute red mini-cooper in front of my house too. Maybe belated presents from Santa?

-edit-

I am officially the best detective ever. Call me Encyclopedia Brown.
