Random Thoughts after 4 hours with more than 20 kids!

Posted on 30 June, 200730 June, 2007 by Sivin Kit

I’m feeling a little bit tired right now. Perhaps not physically but emotionally. Handling more than 20 kids ranging from 2 years old to 10 years old even with 4 adults requires much.

Ten theses on Dietrich Bonhoeffer: theologian, Christian, martyr

Posted on 29 June, 2007 by Sivin Kit

Timely post for me as I’m soaking in the blessings from reading Bonhoeffer, thanks to Faith and Theology and Ray Anderson for highlighting Bonhoeffer again..

Posted on 27 June, 20071 January, 2010 by Sivin Kit

I thought that I could do it on my own

Posted on 27 June, 2007 by Sivin Kit

  “When I first became a Christian, about fourteen years ago, I thought that I could do it on my own, by retiring to my rooms and reading theology, and wouldn’t go to the churches and Gospel Halls; I disliked very much their hymns which I considered to be fifth-rate poems set to sixth-rate music….

Rediscovering my churchianity – a recant :)

Posted on 25 June, 2007 by Sivin Kit

“… when i’ve been in a church environment in which i’ve not agreed with the teaching it was fun to critique my thoughts and challenge myself as to whether i was just being disagreeable and what i really thought. Having been in a teaching environment for the last yr where i have found myself not…
