Denver Moore



Be a Bright Light in Dark Places


God Ain't Through with Us Yet


Tree Full of Life


God's Ambassadors

Celestial


Triumph Over Tragedy

Denver Moore

A former homeless whose life was transformed after he met a Godly woman, her husband, and God.
Their story is told in Same Kind of Different as Me.

His works speak directly to the heart.
So honest and touching,
it's as if he's narrating to me in my ears. (probably the effect of his narrative in the novel)

Haley House





A non-profit organization generating profits for the ones who desperately need "something" upon which they can build their life again.

Amazing baked goods made by unskilled laborers who get training at Haley House
Running farms where unemployed people work to produce organic food
http://www.breadproject.org/

Promoting self-sufficiency by providing culinary training
and job referral assistance to low-income people

Such a smart&sustainable system that's different from one-time assistance
I like the fact that their pastries are not just for the good cause
but actually so darn tasty and healthy (supposedly)
I miss their muffins, cupcakes, and cookies a lot...
(And their surreal, hippy atmosphere, too)

Same Kind of Different As Me



“Just tell ’em I’m a nobody tryin’ to tell everybody about Somebody who can save anybody.”

Markus T

"Design - reduction to the most important features.
The design of every collection by Markus T is unique; however, the signature of the designer Markus Temming is always clearly "legible." His credo is the harmonious combination of the minimalistic notion "reduce everything to its most significant features" - in short, "back to the basics" - with a high degree of technical sophistication. The design is considered accomplished when aesthetics, functionality, and durability merge in perfect harmony."

Walk in Love

And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands.
As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.

2 John 1:6

Most Beautiful


"Express the Most Beautiful

Eneloop


Superior quality batteries
Appropriately superior design-
It made me wanna get a full set again when I lost two of these...
Calm down- I still have another two left...

Just looked up out of curiosity if their design had been recognized
and sure they had in Australia, Germany, and Japan.

Enjoying Him Forever

Question. 1. What is the chief end of man?
- Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever.
From Westminster Shorter Catechism

My Treasures Are in Heaven

My Treasures Are in Heaven (ver.2)
(this one is by another ms.chae, blood-related to me)

Store your treasures in heaven,
where moths and rust cannot destroy,
and thieves do not break in and steal.

Wherever your treasure is,
there the desires of your heart will also be.

Matthew 6:20-21

New Kind of Hedonism



Hedonistic in a socially responsible way
Epicureanism gone minimalistic

Abundant, Unconditional, Joyful, Graceful

"Communicate biblical truths, such as absolute truth, love, grace, forgiveness and others, in a natural, aesthetic, and appealing manner throughout the culture.

I want people to feel and experience the concept of
unconditional love, grace, and as a result,
joy, in the state of abundance.
In essence, it's about treating others with a big heart-
The Golden Rule.
Inspirations:
What's So Amazing About Grace? by Philip Yancey
Babett's Feast from Out of Africa
When I first read it in 12th grade (for class, obviously),
I didn't quite grasp what the feast symbolized.
After realizing it, just thinking about the scene
makes me wanna cry.
The abundant, exotic, exquisite French cuisine,
the people who start to relax and become "truer" selves...
From legalistic and serious religion
to true love, joy, laughters, tears...
Everything of highest quality in abundance...
For everything God created is good,
and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving
-1 Timothy 4:4

Digitized Analogue



Longing for the "good ol' days"
Feeling helplessly lonely while
Desiring the most advanced tech possible.
