Random Links 203 (“Back to Malaysia Reality” Edition)
I’ve just completed three days of meetings all relating to church matters but the reality is we are a church in Malaysia and thus what is happening around us constantly hovers over my mind.

BLC Kids at the Curve – Round 1 and 2
I think we had a fabulous time. I don’t have the choir videos up yet because I was singing in them. So, I will need to depend on others who captured us on video. For now, I’m thankful how the children really conveyed the heart and joy of Christmas for us and to others. It…

Christmas at The Curve
It’s nice to have a look at the place we will sing in the coming two Saturdays. Our assigned dates are December 8th and December 15th both at 6pm onwards. The Curve has really spiced up the deco. My favorite is actually the little house they built … I love houses, because houses reminds me…
