There’s so much beyond our “control”. We can “cultivate” an environment and space but gettign over attached to the results can be tiring. It’s a lot of hard work this “move beyond” kind of thinking … the temptation is to get stuck or revert back to old ways of framing the questions and pursuing the…

Random Thoughts while everyone else is asleep
I was looking through the photos we’ve taken as part of the BLC story-journey. That’s a LOT of photos to look at. Both old style as well as loads and loads of digital stuff. This one on Gareth I think at least 3 years ago is simply awesome. How could I have missed this one…
BLC is 6 years old … wow!
Random Thoughts During a football match

Walking through John 3:1-17 (later I glanced 18-21) using Lectio Divina made more room for me to spend some time Listening and reflecting on the Dialogue between Jesus and Nicodemus. The unhurriedness of practising this “Sacred space”…

The “New” Footprints
From The ‘New’ Footprints … I like this version, I mumbled it in one of the classes this past week ~ Sivin. “Now imagine you and the Lord Jesus are walking along the beach together. For much of the way the Lord’s footprints go along steadily, consistently, rarely varying in the pace. But your prints…
Back from Seremban’s Teaching assignment!
It’s good to be back from the seminary in Seremban. And I feel a great sense of joy and satisfaction for completing my maiden course on Spiritual Formation & Discipleship (with an emphasis on Youth Ministry). Part of the joy maybe is because I was part of the group that gave input in designing the…
