Successful Disney Animator Gives Up Job for God Because "God Deserves the Best"
 |
| Davy Liu |
When Davy Liu left behind a six-figure salary and a job most animators could only dream about, it was only just the beginning.
For the former Disney animator who worked on such classic films as “The Lion King,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Aladdin” and “Mulan,” one mission stood above the rest – fulfilling God’s will for his life. In an interview with The Gospel Herald, Liu shared about his new, God-given dreams, which were no longer centered on winning an Oscar, but on doing the Kingdom’s work, despite financial obstacles and family disapproval.
“Fulfilling the will of God is more important than earning worldly wealth because the treasures on earth are temporary, but the treasures stored in heaven are for an eternity,” Liu stated. Having worked in Hollywood for over a decade ever since he was 19, the talented artist revealed why he chose to abandon such an illustrious and highly coveted job, during what appeared to be the very pinnacle of his career.
“When I worked in Disney, deep down in my heart, I was always discontent. At that time, I thought to myself, ‘Why is it that movies and artworks produced by Christian film are oftentimes made with low budgets or made in an unattractive manner?’”
“[I] asked God in my prayer and God told me that it is because good artists have given their best to the world.” Desiring to offer his best to God instead, Liu decided to quit his job and dedicate himself to producing inspiring, character-based animated stories of faith.
“I hope to inspire young souls to experience life through faith,” he explained in a statement. “There is more to life than meets the eye.”

Speaking in Tongues Medical Study proves Holy Spirit praying
I had saw this youtube link a few years ago and sent it out to some people on my contacts list. Its caused quite a stir. Its interesting to see how those who are anti-god get so offended by truth. Even when it comes to them through proven scientific study. I love it when that veil of unbelief is shaken, especially when it is done to a scientist through scientific research... Come on God... as the guy in the video says: 'Science can only validate faith' so... bring it on! Thanks Gene for passing this on again!

Azz and Dan Got Married!!!
Today my daughter sent me a picture of her and the love of her life - taken at her friends wedding on Saturday 14th May. This wedding marked a special milestone for her and her circle of friends that she has kept since grade 7 in highschool. Why? you may ask. Azzi's wedding was the first of all the girls.
They are all now 22 years old, it seems so young to be getting married - I suppose it also seems so amazing to think in such a short time, my little girl has grown up into such a beautiful young lady. In just a few days she will finish her Law finals at University, graduate in July and then ... who knows - some day maybe even get married. I am sort of glad that marriage is not the topic of conversation for her right now, but it did give me a few tears when I saw some lovely photos of the wedding. One thing I know for sure, this young lady is a wise one, and when she knows, she will know.

Near Field Communication (NFC) or 'Cashless Society' or Mark of the Beast?
After I was first born again in May 1995 (and earlier in the 1980's) I read books by Barry Smith on Endtime theory's. One was called Post Script and it had a lasting effect on my appetitie for the end time teachings. I am not sure I agreed with all his prophetic insights, however, I have learned since reading this sort of material, to not throw the baby out with the bath water.
One thing I do remember though, is a friend of mine who was 'away' from Jesus at that time, had been to a seminar and was reading one of his books 'Final Notice' . She told me that she was making sure she would never take the mark of the beast, and was making every effort too: use cash as much as possible - as one day it will be difficult to buy anything without a bar code, grow her own veggies - as one day hybrids may mean we wont have the seeds to grow from scratch ourselves etc. At the time I thought, this is crazy to be so radical its just being awkward for awkwards sake.
However, when I read the book, I became curious and realised that she had a point on some issues, and so did Barry Smith.
This morning I read this BBC News Report on : NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATION TRANSFORMS TRAVEL , and it brought to my remembrance the 'cashless society' and 'mark of the beast' theory in Barry Smiths books - written some 20 plus years ago. The BBC Report looks amazing, it even has a sort of Sci-Fi slant to it. However I paused to think; do we ever consider what the cost may be to need this technology to travel, buy groceries, with just a 'chip'? What if to aquire this 'superchip' the registration requirements changed over time? What if all our personal ID info was required inorder to get a chip? No more trips to Walmart, Safeway, no travel from country to country, etc. Could this not lead to serious abuses of privacy and ones rights if we are not prepared to release this 'private' infomration inorder to buy products using this 'system'. Infact what if one day we may not be able to buy products apart from technology such as this? How would we buy and sell or survive for that matter?
I for one will watch for signs of the development of this technology, I cant help but wonder if this became global technology, where this will lead us globally in 20 years time?
Oh well we have a veggie garden, 9 chickens so far. We may need a waterwell, and a dynamatic energy source or solar power - that's for free (when the sun shines in Washington State that is!)
A bit sobering really, many think guys like Barry Smith are total nuts; On the contrary, many also thought Jesus himself was possessed by a demon (this is stated in the bible), yet He was and is Truth.
FINAL THOUGHT
It is easy to brush away the things we do not understand as rubbish, but maybe instead of doing that, we should be asking for understanding of the times we are in, and the wisdom to apply that knowledge to our daily lives in the light of the Holy Spirit.
