A short one

By -
Today, my father received a flash clip in his email from one of his friends and it's quite cute. So I would highly recommend all to take a look at it here. It's about chicken... but not chicken little, in case you are wondering.

Anyway, a short update about this blog. In case you haven't realise, I have recently inserted this song called Imagine Me without You by Jaci Velasquez into the blog for all your hearing pleasure, in the event that you think that music beforehand was too irritating. But expect frequent changes on the music in the near future. Also, I have inserted the lyrics at the navbar on the right, in case you all want to know exactly how the song goes.

More to come, more to come, dun worry.

Today is Hari Raya Haji. It's a public holiday. And guess what, I still went back to school... not to study of course, but for some outing with some guys who called ourselves M.A.C.H.O. Interested to know what it means? Ask and you shall receive. <*hint) And we had a few games of street soccer... which resulted in something like a painful ankle for me. Went bowling after that, but didn't really had a good game though.

Today is cold, really cold. It has been raining for quite some time and hopefully it will stop within the next few days... or else cannot go running... need to train for half marathon, which is one of my resolutions this year.

Today also marked my first month since my leap in faith last year/last month/31 days ago. Honestly speaking, I didn't realise it until someone sort of reminded me of it. And it was celebrated with a coffee cheese cake from Coffee Bean... well, didn't expect such a ceremony though. Of course, some also messenged me congratulating me for my first month, and incidentally it strucked me that it's almost impossible for me to forget that exact day, cos there will always be someone who will never forget that day (who can forget your own birthday...)

Today, I learnt something which I think make sense for all of us. 'If you find a perfect group of friends to mix around with, dun join the group. Cos you will make it imperfect.' The original saying was not like that but I modified it a little so that it will apply to all my readers. Well, it sort of makes some cow sense and reminds us that there is no such thing in this world as a perfect person, unless you put God into the picture.

Meanwhile, I guess I have said my piece for today. Till I find out why I have frustrated someone so much. Till that time, let's anticipate my next posting.

Parable of the 'Good Samaritan'

By -
Once there was this man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among thorns, and the thorns spring up and choked him. And as he went on, he didn’t have money, and he met the Queen of Sheba, and she gave him 1,000 talents of gold and 100 changes of raiment. And he got into a chariot and drove furiously, and when he was driving under a big juniper tree, his hair caught on a limb of that tree, and he hung there many days, and the ravens brought him food to eat and water to drink, and he ate 5,000 loaves of bread and two fishes. One night when he was hanging there asleep, his wife Delilah came along and cut off his hair, and he dropped, and fell on stony ground. But he got up and went on, and it began to rain, and it rained forty days and forty nights, and he hid himself in a cave, and he lived on locust and wild honey. Then he went on ‘til he met a servant who said, “Come, take supper at my house.” And he made an excuse and said, “No, I won’t. I have married a wife, and I c...

Of Teaching and Learning

Over the past two weeks, I was invited to attend a block class on "Learning to Teach." After two weeks of class, here are some reflections that I have. We thank God Bro Casey is a pretty humane teacher... :P  Firstly, teaching needs to meet the changing challenges of the 21st century. This is especially pertinent with all the advancements in technology as well as the worldview changes with the generation today. There is simply no room for the teacher to remain stagnant and not be able to keep up with times so as to engage their students and to facilitate learning. Applying to theological education and Bible school, we have to consider what kind of ministers we are training for the churches in the 21st century. If we are training ministers who are able to engage today’s generation, then we need to review the current methods of teaching and train ministers to be savvy in social media and technology and be able to make use of them in their ministries. Reflecting back on...

Of Exegesis, Wedding Preparation and the Whole Lot of Things: Another Reflection

By -

To those who know what happened, the past months since the start of 2016 had been very stressful to me. In the preparation to my impending wedding this coming October, my future father-in-law decided to throw a few spanners into the wedding preparation by declaring that he was not comfortable with me as a life partner to his daughter because I am a full time Christian worker and more importantly because I come from a different family background from her.  The latter means that there are certain practices in my own family which are unthinkable in his worldview on how a family should function. This led to intense tensions between Angelina and myself. To compound the stress, NT Exegesis class was not that easy also and the stress of meeting the deadlines mean that I sometimes did not have the time to reflect deeper into the situations I was facing in my relationship.  However, studying the text of Philemon 15-20 reminded me of the way we should conduct our relationship ...
