~ From Spencer Burke Just when I thought I could get re-oriented back to rhythm. The unpleasant unexpected happened. One feels invaded when your home is turned upside down (in this case it was my parents shophouse). Some portable property was stolen, and for my mom hard earned or saved money emptied, and I feel…

Two Journals
I’ve been keeping a spiritual journal since I was 17. Yesterday, i got introduced to the idea of a “management” journal from this book I borrowed from the seminary “Managing the Congregation: Building effective systems to serve people“. I still don’t feel attracted to the word “management” (even though the book is redeeming the word…
Wisdom from a Farmer
Thanks to McLaren for drawing my attention to Wendell Berry. After prof. Seow’s interesting lecture on Proverbs I thought if the “editor” of Proverbs somehow weaved al those sayings within the rramework of “the fear of the Lord” sometimes my own reading of so called “non-religous” or strictly Christians writing helps me in the same…
Wi-Fi Delight
Gareth just loves water and he’s just delighted when he can play in the pool. I guess, I feel a little bit like a kid when I could have Wi-Fi access here in the seminary in Seremban. Cool …. my first blog entry on using Wi-Fi … splash .. splash!
Happenings between Sundays
one of the blessings and joys of blogging is that I get to “feel” and “know” what’s going on in the lives of some of the BLC members who are blogging. And I get tremendous encouragement when I can see progress and growth in the “stuff” we are doing as a church or individuals. Check…

Healing & Cleansing
Had a wonderful time with May Chin & Gareth at Bangsar Shopping Centre a while ago. May Chin bought me my long awaited new swimming shorts and Gareth just enjoyed himself pushing the empty shopping trailer. But it’s really the buying and spending that matters. It’s the simple “being with” that makes a difference. Amazing…
Mainstream no longer?
I just thought about a fun conversation I had with a former pastor and now turned writer (plus “other stuff” I think). It was strange because we haven’t really seriously sat down and talked before. all our personal conversations have been on the phone and here and there through email and SMS. I’m really looking…
