Asian American - Too Broad A Term?

There was an interesting story in the Sacramento Bee Newspaper about the term "Asian American" now fading since more and more people want to be more closely identified with their ethnicity.  For example, instead of Asian American, specifically Japanese American.  On forms now, there are more choices to declare your ethnicity.  For me personally, I have always felt it weird to have to list my ethnicity.  I did find it somewhat humorous when I traveled in Asia, wherever I went, people seemed to think I was a native of that country, in Japan, Singapore, Malaysia etc.  I also get asked for directions when I go to Hawaii and I am not from Hawaii!

Who Inspires You?

I have recently been thru a series of tragic experiences in a very short amount of time.  As I sometimes get into the "woe is me" state of mind, I think about a person who truly inspires me.  My cousin was recently diagnosed with a very serious illness. I have always thought of my cousin as a religious person, but only now do I really see what true faith is.  She has faced her situation with total faith in God and His plan for her and her family and with a sense of humor!  Not only is she an inspiration to me, but to her friends and family as well.  In an interesting way, she has inspired thousands with her faith and trust in God.  It's as if God is working thru her, to show what true faith is.  I often wondered what type of person, thru all adversity, would continue to honor God like Job did and now I know.
