Today at church, it was crazy. Today was the 35th Anniversary of Toronto Chinese Baptist Church and we held a joint congregation service. That means all three services (English, Cantonese and Mandarin) together for one service. What made it so crazy was the amount of people in the one sanctuary. All in all I'd estimate about 700 people in the main Sanctuary. Pratically every seat was filled. Now this may not compare to some churches, but for us, this is tons of people.

I also found out it was Scarborough Chinese Baptist Church's Anniversary for them too. They so big they went to Convocation Hall. Who do you think you are? heheh

I was presented with some news today that really made me happy. So if you don't know, I am leading the Men's group at UT CCF with Bernie Ma. We really wanted to set the tone at this group, and make sure people realize that this is an open group, and we want to open up to each other. However, the morning of the first meeting Bernie called me and told me he could not make it because he was too sick. So I went at it alone, and seriously, I was struggling with things to say. But today I got news that people did enjoy it, and that they did feel this was a group where people are very open. So let's pray and hope that this continues. I have an idea for this week's discussion, because we could not settle on a book. I'll update you on how that goes later this week.

So I said I went to see a play yesterday night, I went with Dorothy and two others. But Dorothy drove me down, and she was telling me that someone once told her that the most aggressive drivers on the road are ladies in big cars. Now I think to myself, is this true? What do you all think?

I know a lot of people would agree that women are worse driver's than men. Now I am not making this a generalization, I am just saying SOME people may agree with this statement. I am also not saying that is my stance on this topic. but let's first look at this big car issue. I would agree with that, that once you get a big car, you also get more agressive, why? Because you feel more safe in a big car, so you feel if you get hit, not total lost, probability of living is higher than before probably. So I would agree with this, because look at truck drivers, and bs drivers, they are very aggressive because they think they rule the roads. They think if they inch a little to where they want to go, cars will slow down to let them in, because they dont' want to be hit by the bus/truck. So I agree with this big car notion.

Now are women more aggressive than men. Now I think this depends on age group. IN the middle aged group, I would not say so. I would say most women once they reach a certain age start fearing the roads. They would like to get off them, and let others drive. However, those younger, is a different story. Those girl/women who get their own cars, they are aggressive. Because they are the ones who like to drive, and when they get their own car, they think I can do whatever I want, so suddenly the aggressive-meter goes up.So I guess it can be said that women with big cars are aggressive, but I would not make it a generalization.

another thing I encountered today. A girl was telling me one of her girl-friends got a new Civic, nice car. And she was saying why did her friend get such a nice car? She can get guys to drive her. But let me say, some girls like driving, They dont' like being driven everywhere, They like to do what they want, when they want, and their own cars let's them do that. They like fancy stuff obviously, so they get themselves a nice car. So I have no argument with girls in nice cars. In fact, that is the type of girl I want. Last thing I want to be is a chauffeur.
