Making the “space” for silent prayer is so needed for me. A simple Awareness Examen settled me down. Walking through John 3:1-17 (later I glanced 18-21) using Lectio Divina made more room for me to spend some time Listening and reflecting on the Dialogue between Jesus and Nicodemus. The unhurriedness of practising this “Sacred space”…

The air-con is cooling … it’s REALLY hot outside. The course is flowing smoothly much better than I expected. Maybe I was “pressurizing” myself too much 😛 Very good students … open conversations … probing deeper … exploring new frontiers for some. Maybe a nudging question is whether all this “spiritual formation” stuff works in…

Since “Da Vinci code” is cracking the box-office and I have three weeks of “craziness” ahead of me … I can wait for the DVD. 😛 It’s so good to start the day with Sacred Space something just “happens” when I’m unhurried. It’s like a heart environment of “openness” is cultivated. Last week, I felt…

I’ve always treasured every time I hear those vows spoken (in this case practised) by the couple. During a conversation today, I mentioned that often it’s what we have said in these vows that carry us through rough patches. Saying them slower helps to allow the words and phrases to settle in the heart. Anyway…

I had a good time hanging out with Colin Kirton from Footstool Players during lunch. Surprised to bump into Soo Wei (one of the actors) for the upcoming play in BLC. As usual it wasn’t just the food, it’s the conversations, connecting, sharing stories and hopes. The funny part is we bumped into one of…

Nice to hear lots of Elvis Presley songs … it’s funny because I’ve grown to appreciate Elvis more as I grow older. That goes for the Beatles too. For someone closer to home … P. Ramlee, no one has surpassed him in Malaysia yet! This afternoon’s buffet was awesome … it’s tiring too but good….

This week has been a good week … much much better than many weeks before. I’m thankful. There are still hiccups but the good has outweighed the not so good. Excellent progress in this Easter season. The arrival of Joel, Elise, Zyad and Daya Vestal was timely this weekend. Joel’s presence and “preaching” today connected…

It’s quiet now … Traffic jams in KL nowadays are starting to drive me nuts. But then again, it has always been driving me nuts. some days more than others. Posting “The Easter Kemunting Holiday” pictures has been therapeutic and is an exercise to suspend time a little longer or learn to re-live moments which…

I’m wondering what on earth is going on with my server or whatever … I’ve got loads of photos to upload and show the world!!! patience .. I’m growing older … noticed more and more greys on my head .. hope it’s signs of wisdom or lots of folly 😛 The Cameron Highland Family trip…

It’s going to rain tonight. I noticed every holy week we have a good dose of rain in Malaysia. Hmm … Wonder who will come tonight? What can we expect? Nice to get an encouraging email today. the preparation for the Good Friday service was most spritiually rewarding and thought provoking. Gareth was very good…
