I’m looking forward to speak-facilitate-have fun-engage-in-conversations with a bunch of medical and pharmacy students tomorrow and Saturday. Their Christian fellowship president highlighted more than once in an email … they are not nerds. Now I’m wondering whether I am one 🙂 Just got two emails the last two days asking for my bio information ……

Elysia has been really “good” the last few days … and those little giggles and smiles have been awesome. The inquisitive look or frown is “cool” too … I think May Chin is really going to miss the last two months of “nourishment” where she spent so much time with the kids .. especially our…

It’s been quite a fruitful two days. Yesterday I had a chance to sit through some lectures on “Preaching Prophetic Narratives” by Princeton Prof. Seow which as always was insighful – he worked through passages from 1 Kings 19-21 and 2 Kings 5 and I felt it helped me appreciate good exegetical work combined with…

Funerals and memorial always make me stop … listen … and be with people. Auntie no.2 – i.e. Dad’s sister passed away at 69 (yesterday I think). I’m glad I managed to make it for her “service”. She was not a Christian. My relative told me that they managed to get Buddhist monks to conduct…

We’ve been really having good food since Elysia’s Full Moon lunch on Friday. We then had a couple of LiFe Group members over with Mom’s good cooking on saturda. Tonight, it was good to catch up with old friends. Good “Margin” for what’s important. I feel really humbled to day when a pastor friend came…

It’s been sometime since I’ve listened to Brian McLaren speak and it’s still good and helpful. It’s nice to see him in action at his local church where he’s pastor. These Talks Online has a range to listen to. I hope to do more disciplined or focused blogs in the next couple of days or…

I’m pretty excited to learn how to maximize the performance of the notebook (or as a friend put it “blogging machine” – I use it more than just for that!). Less pretty looking in appearance, but I can live with that! Elysia is “pacifier”-trained 🙂 We feel a little bad but we need to survive!…

it’s been some time since I’ve “serious” sat down and blogged some thoughts bubbling in me. At this point, it’s still adjusting to a two kid family! Some recent email conversations on a partcular name for a website really made me think about the importance of names for a group who wishes to move together,…

I’ve been posting a lot of random link (with some random thoughts with them) but less “Random Thoughts” post partly because there’s so much going on and I haven’t really slowed down enough to actually allow the “random thoughts” to even settle. I enjoyed a chance to facilitate the PJ Parish Pastors Meeting today –…
