Todd Hunter has in some “ordinary” and yet “not so ordinary” way been very significant in my own journey as a Christian, a church planter, a pastor, a human … etc. I’ve been following his thoughts, reflections and developments pretty closely from this side of the earth. Todd’s willingness to RISK (I remember John Wimber…

The Koo Family
In my preparation for the “JOB” messages, I couldn’t help but think of the late Justus Koo (my uncle – pastor – social worker … etc). And surprisingly searced through google and found this Chinese article written by my auntie – Grace Koo in the USA. 古 家 — 古 尤 彩 霞 我 參…
Suspicion & Hope
“There is no hope where suspicion is king.” ~ Jacques Ellul Charles Ringma elaborates a bit more in his reflections found in Resist the Powers with Jacques Ellul (May 28): “Hope can be born in the seemingly most impossible of situations. But it does not arise in the context of fear and suspicion.” There’s a…
What African Theologians can teach the Emerging Church
Thanks Geoff Holsclaw for the following posts which I’ve printed to read. Wonder how the Asian Theologians are doing … heheh, and I’m in Malaysia … part of Asia. Anyway, nice to see a North American draw from African contributions. This mutual learning (we read you, you read us, we read ourselves, you read yourselves,…
Random Thoughts after Hospital Visit
It’s strange when the pastor now is the one being visited and prayed for when normally he is the one who does the hospital visitation. I actually got an email from his church staff to stop visitors because he needed the rest and constant “entertaining” of visitors got his blood-pressure shot up! Not good for…
Real Live Preacher Revealed
I’ve been following Real Live Preacher on and off … one interesting thing about his blog is of course his anonymity and how that’s gives him the freedom to say what he wants to say. But he has decided to come out in the open! Honestly (a confession coming …), I tried to start and…
Die Heretic
I think I’ve been pretty serious lately, but having a good laugh is so necessary to be human especially when one can laugh at themselves (I think crying is good too but I’m sticking with some merry-ness for now). Thanks Jason Clark for this: _________________________ I was walking across a bridge one day, and I…
The Education of Bono
Bono’s the speech after receiving an honorary doctorate is pretty good stuff for thinking, (thanks to Stephen Shields –> Jordon Cooper –> Si Johnston … ah! the wonders of blogworld!) ‘My name is Bono and I am a rock star. Don’t get me too excited because I use four letter words when I get excited….
Random Thoughts while Gareth is napping
I enjoy this Father-Son bonding we’ve had these past week and especially today. Just me and my (opps! our) son! I’m a one day HOME ARTIST today (not good at home making), so I suppose my poetic try will somehow emerge into a mini-masterpiece. May Chin got him a really cool TUB TIME waterproof book…
Why Doesn’t God Annihilate All Terrorists This Very Instant??
