Month: May 2003

May Chin read the blogs from this Garden last night. (ok! I actually printed the whole May entries for her – my wife needs to know what’s going on in her husbands mind & heart!). She was kind to me :-), I was glad she liked what I wrote. So, we talked about some of…

Most of the time life is MUNDANE as reminded by my lunch partner today. go to work, come home, eat and sleep, maybe some sports, that’s it. And one wonders is that all to life? (something I hear frequently nowadays) It’s either I’m growing older (i.e. maturing) or simply because I’m a pastor (trained to…

Visited a corporate company AGM today (in proxylah! the only shares I got are invisible and intangible, hahah!). The Directors, CEO and big guns were lined up with their dignified ties and coats. The Common folk (i.e. shareholders) squished into their theater seating just there to pass resolutions, propose, and second stuff. What a contrast…

We were knocked out by Acts chapter 5 especially on the death of Ananias and Sapphira at my LiFE Group meeting last night. It seems so strange for two people to die because they “lied to the Holy Spirit”. Could it be we’ve been toying with this fuzzy-wuzzy-let-me-do-what-I-want-with-no-consequences-god (now that’s a mouthful)? My friend &…

“In the evening I went very unwillingly to a society (meeting) in Aldersgate street, where one was reading Luther’s preface to the epistle of the Romans. About a quarter before 9, while he was describing the change which God works in the heart through faith in Christ, I felt my heart strangely warmed. I felt…

“What we cannot speak about we must pass over in silence.” ~ Wittgenstein There’s so much I find it hard to speak about. More and more I find that there’s so much that is beyond the grasp of my finite human mind. The quest for truth and understanding is deep in me, but especially with…

I conducted my own GrandMa’s Memorial Service last night (the 1st of two). Found out that these Christian services was indeed and will be a “testimony” & “witness” – like for my cousin niece it’s only the second Christian funeral she has ever attended! The weather is still so HOT! A lot of people came…

Yesterday evening about 6:00 -6:15pm (I’m not sure), “Ah Po” breathed her last and stepped into the Loving Arms of Jesus. I don’t really know what to feel at this point it’s still sinking in. We expected this more later than sooner since she was doing better than in the Hospital a couple of months…

Here’s what a kind soul commented on this Garden, “just a short advertisement: wanna get some wonderful advice on life, love and other mysteries? try out ps. sivin kit’s blog website.. ok, not so much on the “love and other mysteries” part, but he’s got some good stuff to pick out, …” In response to…

We read from the Acts of the Apostles from chapter 3:1 to 4:32 last night at “LightHouse” (the LiFE Group I’m part of right now). And I was intrigued by the interesting and often illuminating sharing from the 8 of us. Ken Beng (who’s a newly baptised Christian) pleasantly surprised me with his insight. Partly,…
