FreeMind is a premier free mind-mapping software written in Java. I’m still figuring how to use it properly … tried it last week to organize my thoughts on the retreat. I still prefer markers, pen and paper … but this is still useful!

Thanks Kiffer for introducing me to this “Next generation”-browser … I’m enjoying the tab-browsing function! Click the logo for more …

What a fantastic “mandarin-orange-red” coloured face-lift and lots of upgrade … a wonderful way to approach the last day of Chinese New year tomorrow called “Chap Goh Mei”!

Eugene Peterson drew my attention in one of his writings (possibly from his pastoral theology series) that the Scriptures are meant to be heard. There’s a “personal encounter” somehow when one reads aloud and another listens which is diffirent when one sits alone and reads a passage silently. One of the comments at the “Sabbath Retreat” is when we were doing LECTIO DIVINA, as beginners they found it easier when another person was reading and they just “restfully” listened.

We’re reading Genesis together as a church, I decided to listen for a change. Thanks to Bible Gateway for New International Version (NIV) Audio Bible
