For I am not ashamed of the Gospel (good news) of Christ, for it is God’s power working unto salvation [for deliverance from eternal death] to everyone who believes with a personal trust and a confident surrender and firm reliance, to the Jew first and also to the Greek,  Romans 1:16

trust-confidence in and reliance on good qualities, especially fairness, truth, honor, or ability
surrender-to relinquish possession or control of something
reliance-dependence on another person or on something such as a service or a device, and the need for something that he, she, or it provides
power-capacity to do something; the ability, strength, and capacity to do something

Dream: Tri-Race Scofield
I was passing by a race area where the triathlon started and I saw Andy [vaguely] just getting started the race {swim} then in a split second the scene fast forwarded to the end of the race where Andy left on his car going home and we did not even recognize each other.

Dream: Family Picture
I took a family picture in Merida which took a lot of time and preparation because I want it so perfect.  People were so patient and just listened to what I wanted to do.  At one point, we have to rearrange the furniture because it was blocking one of the family member and at some point, I found some dust on the floor and I had the floor cleaned to make it so spotless …. and then I took just one shot.

When Christ, Who is our life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in [the splendor of His] glory.  Colossians 3:4 

Read Colossians 3:1-3 to fully understand what Paul meant in v4.
IF THEN you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead], aim at and seek the [rich, eternal treasures] that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth. For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God.  Colossian 3:1-3

Dream: US Army Boot Camp Replay
I was back at the boot camp in Missouri but on a different mindset and this time I know what to do beforehand from packing personal belongings to listening to every instructions given to the new recruits, from the shakedown to the intense psychological indoctrination.  It seems everything so easy now and I was able to breeze through the whole 8 weeks of intense training with no stress at all.  I even sneaked out from the base and went home to see mom and never got in trouble.  I just know what to do this time.  [I wish I had that knowledge during my recruit days in 1992].
