my last post (i think) on deadly vipers: asian cultural exegesis, grown men crying, and turning the other cheek

If you read my blog, you know the situation that brewed this past week regarding the marketing of a book entitled Deadly Vipers. This past week, a few of us including Soong Chan Rah and Kathy Khang shared a conference call with both authors of the book and on a separate day, w/ some of [...]

we finally did it and excited for the future

We’ve received our share of criticism about our public pledge to donate our 2009 salary to fight extreme poverty. Everything ranging from “Stop boasting” to “You’re lying” and How about Matthew 6:3 and “…when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.” For the record, I have [...]

Read this story of Sa-Soon Cha, a 68 year old woman who finally passed her written driver’s test on the 950th attempt. At first, I was laughing but then when you consider how much work, time, commitment,heart, and even finances she invested, it’s an incredible story of perseverance. Actually, i’ts pretty inspiring. My favorite quote: “I believe you [...]

I can’t tell you how much this story encourages me. I met Dr. Josephine Kim, a Harvard professor in their graduate school of education, this past summer when we spoke at a leadership conference. Check out what she and her fiance are doing to celebrate their engagement (or click image above). Beautiful stuff. [...]

I want to follow up on yesterday’s post which I believe has broken the record for the longest title in history: “deadly vipers, mike foster, jud wilhite, soong-chan rah, chuck norris, joyluck club, angry asian man, wanna be ninjas and everyone else.” Yo, that’s how I roll. I had some good dialogue with Mike Foster yesterday [...]

the ultimate closet sale for a cause

Until recently, I had never met Bob & Eunice or their kids. Eunice was a blog stalker, heard about the vision of One Day’s Wages, and wanted to show her support. She also happens to be a local independent fashion designer. When she first emailed me, I thought she needed me to model her clothes [...]

relationships: god the creator is pursuing you

We launched a new teaching series at Quest this past Sunday entitled “Relationships: ___________.” We’ll likely spend the next 4-5 months on all things relationships: God, Jesus, Spirit, self, parents, children, enemies, marriage, dating, and so on. One of our other pastors was supposed to launch the series but had to bail last minute with a [...]

I don’t know if I have the energy or bandwidth to write this but it’s important so here goes… Some of you may have already been aware of the controversy over the marketing behind a book called Deadly Vipers. The full title happens to be: Deadly Viper Character Assassins: A Kung Fu Survival Guide for Life [...]

Dear Blog Readers, Thanks for reading my blog and for your support in so many various ways. It has been a huge blessing in my life. Thank you. As some of you know, my family and I recently started a non-profit organization called One Day’s Wages. In short, ODW aspires to be a grassroots movement dedicated to [...]

my selections for the best & worst costumes

Eugene Cho — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 08:02:14 +0000

First, a simple question: What did you dress up as for your respective costume gatherings? I came to our church’s “Truck or Treat” party for the kids without a costume and got boo’ed so I went into my office and put on my clubs in the back to dress up as a ‘caddie.’ I thought it was [...]
