Mount Fuji (Fujisan) is with 3776 meters Japan's highest mountain. It is not surprising that the nearly perfectly shaped volcano has been worshipped as a sacred mountain and experienced big popularity among artists and common people.
Mount Fuji is a dormant volcano, which most recently erupted in
1708. It stands on the border between Yamanashi and Shizuoka
Prefectures and can be seen from Tokyo and Yokohama on clear
days.
The easiest way to view Mount Fuji is from the train on a trip along the Tokaido Line between Tokyo and Osaka. If you take the shinkansen from Tokyo in direction of Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka, the best view of Mount Fuji can be enjoyed from around Shin-Fuji Station on the right hand side of the train, about 40 to 45 minutes after leaving Tokyo.
Note however, that clouds and poor visibility often block the view of
Mount Fuji, and you have to consider yourself lucky if you get a clear view of the mountain. Visibility tends to be better during the colder seasons of the year than in summer, and in the early morning and late evening hours.
FUJISAN; 父子圣灵 三位一体！a dormant volcano we have made dominant! for the 幽谷scene, to get the texture of a mountain, we have employed a ('sky' idea) corny floury method rolling in much of our hygiene resource, toilet paper! mache! mounting. de en will post pictures of our dominant fuji soon (: btw we'll have to make another one. even more diminished in size. after which we'll have to spray paint it (camouflage the fuji in to the sinful, dirty state of mankind) >.<
on this very tuesday morning, some of the girls have gone to swim (hope they have a splashing time and it's shine after rain!) i was obliged to stay home to clear some stuff, such as my nose and room, which i have yet to. but something i've cleared, and cleared my head a little, is the first few chapters of A.W. Tozer's Tozer speaks to students book. (glad to have received this as as birthday gift along with Andrew Murray :D) when i read the above description of mt fuji (obtained from http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2172.html) some things sort of paralleled what i just read so. just some, out/in-sights.
the nearly perfectly shaped volcano has been worshipped as a sacred mountain by many; OUR PERFECT GOD (公义又慈爱) ought to be and deserves ALL our adoration and to be adored by ALL. Fuji stands on the border; (someone said this before- jireh?or anyway the bible says)there are only two types of people on earth, either we are in Adam (dead with sin) or in CHRIST (alive). no grey area. no teetering on the border. supposing God's at the top of the mountain. we're with Jesus, we walk together, we'll only be climbing higher and higher, seeing God clearer and clearer.
Note however, that clouds and poor visibility often block the view of Mount Fuji, and you have to consider yourself lucky if you get a clear view of the mountain. Note however, that "Ye shall receive power..." (Acts 1:8) those four words are the promise our Lord Jesus Christ gave to His waiting disciples. (quoting Tozer) the Holy Spirit comes giving us inward understanding so "Ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things..." (1John 2:27) He simply lifts the fog off it and shows it to us. He does not create the mountain; He takes away the shroud from the mountain so that it stands clear and bright in the sunshine. this was about a point that the power that come to us by our faith does not create objects, which is the main difference between our faith and other imaginative, weird, occult religions (Tozer said all this!) Above all things the business of the Spirit of God in its fullest effectiveness is to remove the veil from the soul and show us Jesus Christ. "He shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you" (John 16:15)
hope we'll continue our PROPagenda with 你我他的三角关系 in mind and next session will be on wednesday! we'll concentrate on making another micro fuji (the one we did is only for the board on one side there'll be the other side-prepare to milk your hands again!)， making more skulls and skells for the 山脚，inserting the helly hot lava/flames with possibly cellophane or spraypainted string, making the canopy for the garden scene! and regarding the sea scene i hope we can work on it on thursday- mabel can you arrange that? thanks- and to qihui and others who have been and will continue bringing/buying materials diligently :D to achieve our PROPosals!
PROP OUR PRAISE TO GOD! (our own praise with our voices, and if we get praised when we praise/propmake!)
an FMC sister commended on our beautiful work and our seeming hardworkingness when she passed by 404! :D
and it's quite...(insert suitable adjective here- applelovely?) to publicize/spread the gospel to taxi drivers! on our way back last sat from worship pianist class (4 little girls) we were practicing 神迹 in the taxi intentionally, after which the auntie responded by asking if it was a christian song, and that we can sing louder if we want! (: tada. then we ended off by giving her a flyer, pointing out to her that our destination was where the concert will be held if she were interested to come! (sadly we didn't have tickets with us immediately BUT at least a flyer and some memories of our voices :D somewhat not in harmony totally though)
why applelovely- ask aiping. aiya! we should have said Jesus loves you! :D
