I love this picture with the Malaysian flad hidden behind the people taken a couple of Sunday’s ago at one of our LiFE Group parties. First, it reminds me of the photos we take in the 60’s or 70’s because of the way they look and the positioning of their postures 🙂 Secondly, I like…

Ok! I was away from my home country Malaysia and was wandering in UK and Germany 🙂 so, I was never really in the “craze” that’s come to our warm climate. Last night was the first time, I actually sat down and watched the show “live” on TV while jumping on and off to check…

As I’m listening to Dr. Klaus Schafer talking on the “blending” of “Glocalization” that happens in the context of “Globalization”. It’s just interesting to find out what will be happening now in Kuala Lumpur which is labelled as The world’s most representative theological forum organized by the faith and order commission of the World Council…

I’ll miss this “Kanchil” for “just a little while” because I do need to “leave it behind” (two U2 tunes running in my mind when I keyed in the last phrase!) The first time I seriously thought of the cost of living was when as pastors we were given a COLA (i.e. Cost of Living…

I was intrigued by the morning devotion which revolved around the “water” metaphor. There was even a special “water communion” where participants were invited to taste “water” while identifying with those where…

How often do you have fun with a Bishop? Well, I did with Bishop Dr Edison MUNTHE (from Simalungun Protestant Christian Church) tonight at the special Lutheran Communion Dinner Banquet that just finished a couple of hours ago. Here’s a picture of him (on a more seriousness note at the recent LWF assembly) I was…

This conference (ACLC for short 4-7 June 2004) is actually organized and coordinated by the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) (for a glimpse of the past click here) It will start tomorrow morning with Bishop Gideon Chang sharing and Rev. Philip Lok leading the opening worship at 8:30am (wow .. early for me!). It’s pretty much…

~ From The Star From New Straits Times This morning I got irritated …. Bangsar now is flooded by banners and posters similar to the pictures above. Political party images are invading my senses until I’m annoyed. When will the time come when we get our “substance” on track? When will the time come when…
