To never break is to lie stagnant and eventually die.Things break. I break now and again. Picking up the pieces can be an act…

The iGen Manifesto
I think Rex Miller does a wonderful job painting a picture of current reality and hints towards future possibilities here in The iGen Manifesto. I like the tone of the article which is open ended with a open source flavor. It’s not a blank page but a place to start if we are serious about…
Practical Theology
I haven’t started REALLY reading this book yet. But one thing for sure, I love the diagrams in the book especially the “floor plan” diagram which gives a overview tour of what the author wants to convey. When the spark came after seeing practical theology not in terms of skills and technique to apply the…
The Mind Map Book
I’ve been using Mind Maps for years … until I don’t really know how to do note-taking or note-making in a traditional linear form (unless I’m forced to). It’s a great tool, and for me it’s more fun giving freedom to use colors and images. But I think what is more interesting is the thinking…
Random Thoughts after roast pork rice
When I can”t decide what to eat it’s usually roast chicken rice or roast pork rice. Yesterday, it was chicken for lunch. Today, it’s pork. I confess I’m often indecisive when it comes to food. It’s easier to say what I don’t want then what I do want. I was tempted to title my sermon…

Thanks “Mummy”. wow … I think I had a little too much Chinese fried mee last week … I’m looking forward for something different tonight. Curry Chicken maybe? I’m quite…
Twelve Steps For Doctoral Students
Many thanks to The Blogging Parson for the following steps … I’m not a doctoral student but it’s still good advice to kick me forward for my part-time studies. “1. Few books, but good. Learn to be a good re-reader rather than try to read absolutely everything. Who cares if you can read 1000s of…

Journal of Lutheran Ethics (April 2007: Business Ethics) I hope every Christian involved in business or are interested in it will read this issue. I will even though I’m not in the last 2 categories I mention. I’m merely curious. Theology in the Life of the Church – The Lutheran World Federation Feast away …….

Random Thoughts before you know what-lah!
I’m always fascinated by what messages put in the toilet to communicate to the users. I try to be careful not to drop the camera into the toilet bowl when I snap these goodies. I love the new little Japanese table I got from Carrefour at Midvalley yesterday. I notice that I think better when…
