In many ways especially after staying in Germany for almost three weeks now, Neuendettelsau has become our “home” and all of us were really looking forward to come back. But, deep down I feel it and I can sense it from most of the others, it’s time to go back to our “real home”. I’m…

We’ll probably be stopping in one of the Auto Bahn (motorway) resting places like the one where I took the picture above on Monday. Need to make sure all toilet business is settled before one goes because it’s minimum 50cents Euro per entry 🙂 phew! Begining to feel and think about more and more of…

This is the cross and backgound at the chapel on the highest floor at the Evangelical Church in Bavaria (ELCB) Headquarters in Munich. I was really reflecting on my visit to a local congregation condition the last couple of days. It was good also to have some time to just talk to Dr. Philip Hauenstein…

God is a God of surprises (I love this phrase and believe it!)… Since Friday until today it’s been non-stop suprises. One of them is the chance to participate in an ecumenical Roman Catholic and Lutheran Open Air Sunday Service in the heart of town during their summer fest (the timing was just right for…

David Hu from Taiwan who sat next to me took this picture with his mini-webcam. It’s always funny and ticklish when he sings with “falsetto” on and off. I was giving a toast – “Yam Sing” (in Cantonese) with my coffee! It’s nice that the pace of the summer school has slowed down especially for…

It was good to hear Gareth having some fun on his “keyboard” today while talking to May Chin. I miss them tremendously and wish I could be home especially when they are physically not well. Apart from the phonecalls (with special rates Thank God!), email and chatting online has helped us keep the connection closer…

I was quite happy to catch this shot. The weather is becoming more like summer now. Apparently, a German Old man mentioned his weather forecast was more accurate than the TV (he observes the animals, the trees, and the climate, etc). And it seems he’s right. It’s interesting that for a big chunk of my…

I just feel like putting up stuff I wanted to before I left from Malaysia for my little Sabbathical this month. So here goes … Roy Lim’s Religious Talk is a great post that is a great resource for my upcoming “How not to share the gospel” talk in one of the varsity Christian Fellowship….

when we arrived back at King’s cross station I couldn’t resist a “Harry Potter” landmark moment … hahaha! I miss my two loved ones tremendously. But the internet allows us to keep closer contact. The internet has also opened up relationships I could never imagined would happen. And today was enriching indeed to meet people…

Just realized that I haven’t been posting Random Thoughts for some time. Also realized that “Ministerium” is a German term after a Google search (I’m so dependent on Google nowadays!) Anyway, the meeting today was meant for all the ordained pastors of the Lutheran Church in Malaysia (just in case you asked) I strongly felt…
