The Apostle Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 11:30–33, "If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness. ... In Damascus, the governor under King Aretas set a guard on the city of Damascus in order to seize me, but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and escaped from his hands."

Standing beside the city wall of Damascus 34 years ago, I didn't understand why he boasted of his weakness. However, at this stage in my life, I fully understand what he means. 

The Apostle continues in 2 Corinthians 12:10, "Therefore I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities for the sake of Christ; for whenever I am weak, then I am strong."

When I admit my weakness, He alone fills my emptiness without me even noticing.

Barack Obama made the following remarks on June 13, 2008, during a private campaign fundraising event in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, while running as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.
“I won’t but that sounded pretty scary. You’re a tough guy,” Obama said. “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said. “Because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans.”
I absolutely love him and his speeches.

Tomorrow, I will return to my original role as a Principal Investigator and Senior Research Scientist at NICT's ICT Testbed R&D Promotion Center—a position that I previously held for ten years until March.

I love the scene from The Untouchables (1987) in which Jim Malone talks to Eliot Ness privately in a church that is Our Lady of Sorrows Basilica in East Garfield Park: 

"You wanna know how to get Capone? Here's how you get him. They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That's the Chicago way! And that's how you get Capone. Now do you want to do that? Are you ready to do that? I'm offering you a deal. Do you want this deal? ... Well, the Lord hates a coward. ... Do you know what a blood oath is, Mr. Ness?" 

That’s the scene Barack Obama quoted during the 2008 presidential campaign. I always live by the Chicago way. 

I am returning to a computer science research position at NICT this July.

I hate eavesdropping, so I reveal what I believe. 

I respect Eliot Ness and love Josiah Edward "Jed" Bartlet of The West Wing (1999-2006).
