Yes, I know, I’m behind my project 365 pictures.  I have them but I just haven’t arranged the time to upload them. As for blogging, this is my attempt to make a transitional come back.

I was and I think will be at some level stuff with authors dead or alive and engaged in intense discussions.  All part of writing my Masters of Theology about 30,000 words thesis.

the last couple of weeks has been a crazy experience. I’m only getting a breather right now.

I’ll be back. Slowly.

I’m exploring some blog themes for 2010.

Tell me what you like.  The tentative one is called Green Light (my wife’s favorite color is green!). 

Here are some other options (mostly from wordpressthemesbase.com):

Freedom

StudioPress

Aeros

Teams Rejoice

This is a great picture with some great guys with fitting t-shirts.

Confession: I know I haven’t been blogging much. The reason is simple. I’ve been tweeting Plus, I have been doing more writing academically for my Master’s papers. And the reality is I’ve been quite involved in more speaking, coordinating, and doing then writing

I’m reading for some coffee now.

The coffee is good.

I’m looking forward to reengage back into writing the final paper and finishing off the MTheol.

Kids are growing fast.  Everyone of them.

2009 has been another more than eventful year with quite a number of memorable experiences.

I need to update my Facebook photo albums.

Looking forward to the arrival of the book on Trinity I ordered.

The interaction between different representatives from a variety of religions will be most interesting.  At least one civil society point of view will chip in!

It will be great to have one more event at the Father’s house, Bangsar.  I miss our original home tremendously.

2010 will be another fascinating year.

I don’t know the details but based on where I’m heading it will lack no boredom!

As for the life of blogging, let’s see what will happen.

Based on Tweet Cloud all these words occupied my mind in twitter.

Wow . and as usual I like this kind of presentation style!

I enjoy blogging but I haven’t blogged for quite a while. I’ve tried to keep things going by posting videos. But it doesn’t mean I haven’t been writing.

In fact, I’ve completed my 4th paper for my Master’s in theology module work.  So I can give myself a pat on the back.  Take a deep breath and starting writing another few more papers.

That’s life. Part of it.

Then there’s the getting into the new role of being the Dean of the Kuala Lumpur District for the Lutheran Church in Malaysia and Singapore.  First thing I should do tomorrow is to settle some dates for meetings. Kyrie Eleison.

I’m still the pastor of Bangsar Lutheran Church by the way!

And we’ve been going through major changes as well.  Nice to see the children’s ministry start Godly Play again.  We started Sunday Bible studies last week too and also Pastor Naomi has jump started the Chinese worship gathering.  So that’s some new stuff coming up. 

I don’t mind newness.  It’s always refreshing.

But then change also takes it’s demand on you – overall especially physically and emotionally.  So, I fell sick on Monday after half a day of Mission Consultation with our Mission partners.  My contribution? I think the theme “Friends in God’s Mission” stuck after I shared the morning opening devotion. That felt good.

Father of three kids and husband of one. That’s how I like to introduce myself. It’s cute but seriously it’s more to remind me of my primary responsibility apart from being a child of God. It’s not easy on the family when they have a crazy Dad and short attention span husband like me.

Hey . getting back to writing like a human being is nice.  No footnotes mom!

Well, there’s a lot which I haven’t had a chance to blog about yet.  Loads of pictures. tons of experiences.  And bits and pieces of second thoughts here and there.

I guess, what drew me back was the fact that someone who literally “served” me and this blog will be delegating this responsibility.  We’ve been together since day 1 of this garden. So, it’s a strange feeling to know of this particular change.

But then change is part and parcel of life. Some good, some not so good. But it’s going to be there.

I’m going get some Ribena and relax!
