Who do people say we are, who do you think we are & do you know who you are?

QUOTES TO STIR THE POT

"I love two Js and no third; one is Jesus, and the other is Japan. I do not know which I love more, Jesus or Japan. I am hated by my countrymen for Jesus' sake as foreign belief, and I am disliked by foreign missionaries for Japan's sake as national and narrow. Even if I lose all my friends, I cannot lose Jesus and Japan . . . Jesus and Japan; my faith is not a circle with one center; it is an ellipse with two centers. My heart and mind revolve around the two dear names. And I know that one strengthens the other; Jesus strengthens and purifies my love for Japan; and Japan clarifies and objectives my love for Jesus. Were it not for the two, I would become a mere dreamer, a fanatic, an amorphous universal man."

Uchimura Kanzo, 1861-1930

Apparently, the folks at the San Diego Asian Film Festival just can’t get enough. Though the fest itself isn’t until October, SDAFF is launching its first-ever Spring Showcase on Friday, April 15, at UltraStar Mission Valley. Eleven films will be presented during the next week, including a fundraiser to benefit the victims of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Click here to read more.
