I just realized that this blog has just passed it’s 1st birthday … since starting in August 22, 2003. It’s been quite an experience indeed. I’ve got to know new friends. I’ve grown in confidence (I think) in my writing or articulation of all sorts of thoughts inside me. My perspective has been stretched. New…

Happy 47th Birthday, Malaysia!
I love this picture with the Malaysian flad hidden behind the people taken a couple of Sunday’s ago at one of our LiFE Group parties. First, it reminds me of the photos we take in the 60’s or 70’s because of the way they look and the positioning of their postures 🙂 Secondly, I like…
God-daughter
I must say I have a “soft spot” for baby’s toes … they are just adorable! These toes belong to Gracelynn our new God-daughter! for us it’s a great honour to be asked to be someone’s God-parenst. And for May Chin and me yesterday was our initiation to be Gracelynn’s godparents as she’s welcomed to…
Heartbeat
When I saw the heart beating away strongly, my heartbeat increased and yet there was a sense of relief that all is well. “Lord, we are thankful for this new chance to serve you”. May Chin and I still haven’t fully got it all together in raising Gareth, and I wonder whether parents ever get…
Two New Blogs I’m Reading
Here’s two new blogs I’m reading … both have sent me kind emails so that makes the connection tighter and the glue sticker 🙂 I’ve cut and paste some of their thoughts for preview … First, introducing subvergence… _________________________________________________ I finished reading The Spirit of the Discplines by Dallas Willard.

Good News … for a change!
Just once a while, and I must say for a long while, there’s a front page story that “moves” me at a deeper level. And a story like this on one, i.e. Abducted baby found safe made me pause for a moment to offer thanks. It’s a story with its own twists and turns, highlighting…

Thinking & Praying
“When we think we generally talk to ourselves, when we pray we talk to God.” ~ Anthony de Mello via SacredGateway For two mornings when I stepped into the AugustinerKloster church at Erfurt when I was staying there, I noticed this young lady kneeling in prayer both the two mornings I was sitting in the…
Bible without verses?
I remember the last time I got some of my church members to read Winn’s article on Story. many of them got “puzzled” by his challenge on “scripture memorization” 🙂 Somehow, many missed what he was really trying to get at. Reading his Verses Quoting Sucks! (there’s a specific context that helps me see why…
Money Matters … again!
I was drawn to how phil from signposts felt about his talk on money at church and the post message reaction. I think I was drawn to his up and down feeling because I also tried in someway to talk about money and prosperity last Sunday! ____________________ Ah money! You know I am becoming convinced…
