I’ve switched my newspaper reading to News Straits times lately. Partly, because I want o support my friend Steve’s Chisel & Stone Column and have a change. In fact, I’ve grown to like the paper somewhat, even though someone mentioned that its too wordy for their taste. It’s just that sometimes a phrase or a…

I really enjoyed Roger E. Olson’s “The Story of Christian Theology”. That’s why after the JB Wesley Camp yesterday, I couldn’t help but want to reward myself with “The Mosaic of Christian Belief” I like his “simple and yet not oversimplication” style and more so the absence of a “combative” spirit in his approach even…

Robert Farrar Capon has been quite an interesting character for me. He’s a fantastic & fun writer, Episcopalian Priest and chef.

I decided to take this test and see what happens … and wah lah … I must now try some “backflips”, talk slowly … and…

young people– of course, you are tomorrow’s leaders! more than that–your fresh ideas, energy, and special skills are needed today. I’d like to think I’m still young at 30, turning 31 in October 2003. But the “tomorrow’s leader” really got me going during my teens and later early twenties. But, I never really noticed the…
