Many thanks to Daniel Farrel for setting up Planet Emergent. I signed up partly because it’s free and the chance for new connections. As usual, it’s a jump first fear later move. But Daniel word’s here from Purpose of Planet Emergent comforted me as I suddenly worried about the quality of my writing and content….
Intrinsic Motivation
Ok … when I hear the phrase “Motivational” talk … goosebumps emerge 🙂 But genuine motivation really makes a difference in how we operate at any sort of activity. DJ Chuang’s tapping into motivation has some cool links. This Christian Religious Internalization Scale (CRIS) looks interesting. These Factors That Encourage Intrinsic Motivation works for both…
‘Helping is more than donating money’
I’m glad finally Star Metro gave us a bit of press coverage here ‘Helping is more than donating money’ 🙂 I was nudging the journalist to talk with Chin Hor and Jochebed on that day and glad to read the fruit (though there was much more we told her I think *grin*)! Talking about wanting…
TAD – coming together
From Chin Hor’s post

A Good 2005 Weekend!
It’s just so energizing to hear how things are working “right” for a change when it comes to church, community, worship, friendship, etc. so here’s a quick one … Gobi’s I Have Returned makes me join him in Thanking the Lord too! Nice to hear a soothing melody in Messy’s Good ‘ol Sunday … Sounds…

I really like the more-than-a-face-lift Emergent Village Website (I can see more stuff added as well as revised to give us a better picture). Check out the Emergent-Us blog too! wow! And now … how shall Emergent Malaysia proceed huh? One step at a time …
After Tsunami Aid Day …
When I put on this light blue ribbon today at the beginning of our effort the Tsunami Aid Day, it helped me in a symbolic way to “try to identify” with the victims who lost their lives, and many who are struggling to stay alive. All those participating in today’s event tried to do our…
