Profanity

I'e been surfing lots of other blogs lately. There seem to be two main types: those that collect news and comment on current events, and those that are personal journals. Mine falls into the latter category, of course. :) But,...

Moving out

Last night I gave notice to the main tenants at the place where I stay. (Is that sentence correct? LOL) The main tenants rent the whole house from the landlord, then sublet the rooms to us. I’m sure they tend...

Journalism

Mel told me I should try applying for a job with the UN. “I’m sure you could get it,” she said. Not that I’m terribly keen, but today was a slow day at work, so I popped into the UN’s...

Still working on it...

Have been fiddling with the blinking template for about two hours and finally managed to get it the way I want it to be, with with Bob’s help. I think the poor guy must live in trepidation every time I...

More books!

Did I say I bought more books recently? No, I知 pretty sure I didn稚. I知 totally nuts. Who can resist a book with a title like, Poplollies And Bellibones, or Three-toed Sloths & Seven-league Boots? Certainly not I. The first...

Waiting

I can稚 believe I left a book out of yesterday痴 list! How could I ever forget a book on waiting?!! LOL So, I have A Time To Wait: Biblical Insights On Trusting God痴 Timing, by Liz Morris, a slim paperback...

More on waiting

In Quest For Love, Elisabeth Elliot writes: Except for those far ahead of most of us in sanctity, waiting is a form of suffering – the difficulty of self-restraint, the anguish of unfulfilled longing, the bewilderment of unanswered prayer, my...

Waiting for THE man

I did the Googlism thing out of curiosity and more than half of the results were probably from Me, Myself and Sunflower movie reviews. But I burst out laughing when I read, “Sunflower is also available”! Yes, indeed, Sunflower is...

Let's experiment?

Hmm. I got this comment in response to yesterday’s post:You know what I think, I think maybe, God took your little prayer thing a little too literally. He's apt to do that sometimes when the mood takes him. So he's...

He has to be what??!?!?!!

People always seem to ask me, “What are you looking for in a partner?” Last night, on ICQ with the same friend who said I should plan some strategies to find and get to know guys (see this post), the...

It's non-negotiable

In my previous post, I wrote, “It goes without saying that my future partner should be a Christian.” I wonder if anyone read that and asked, “It DOES?!” It might be enough to know that the Bible says, “Do not...

Love is commitment

One Sunday night I didn稚 feel like going home, so I cruised around in my little car. It was midnight, and for once I wasn稚 in a hurry to get anywhere in particular. Figured it was a good a time...

Writer's woes

Work has been pretty hectic lately. I have 12 deadlines this week (yes, you saw right, that痴 TWELVE), three of which were due yesterday, so technically I only have 9 left. But who痴 counting? LOL Four of them are cosmetic...

God is not a neurotic parent

I wore a Mr Funny T-shirt to work today (see pic). When I bought the T-shirt, it appealed to my whimsical sense of humour. I'd have bought Miss Funny if they'd had it. Failing that, I settled for Mr Funny....

Of poems and scribblings

I need to start writing poetry again. I came across this site while reading comments left at Chronicles of a Poet Warrior. (Yes, I read other people痴 comments! Curiosity may have killed the cat, but I feel relatively safe coz...

I couldn't resist

I don’t usually do these quiz things (mainly because everybody else is doing them, and it gets tiring seeing the same thing on every other blog I visit – I’ve never liked to follow the crowd too much :P). But...

Walking in the workplace

My brain is not working too well today because I slept at 6am and woke up at 9:30am. Three-and-a-half hours of sleep does not an awake person make. Thank God for flexible office hours – most days I walk into...

Old scribblings discovered!

Yesterday I said that I didn’t have any of my childhood scribblings with me at the moment. I was mistaken – this morning as I was clearing out my desk, I discovered a file buried under the mountains of papers....

It HAD to happen

Just when I was thinking I hadn稚 had a misadventure in a fairly long time, one simply has to come along. (My last major misadventure occurred in September. Before that, this blog was simply known as 溺usings�, but I decided...

The benevolent elder sister

I feel like Santa Claus today. I got Blink, my brother, a mobile phone and bought small gifts for three friends – not Christmas gifts; “just because” gifts. As in, when they ask, “Why are you giving me a present?”,...

Decisions, decisions

I致e been invited to sit on the exco (executive committee?) of Graduates Christian Fellowship Malaysia, GCF. It was pretty shocking because I知 not even a GCF member yet! I went for one of their camps last month, a camp geared...

Celebrate Christmas every day!

Yesterday, I said I felt like Santa Claus, spreading joy and good cheer through gift-giving. I’m still kinda surprised no one took me to task for using the name “Santa Claus”. See, I grew up in a Christian family that...

I've decided

I was wrong to post this at this time, and I'm taking it off. Pastor, I apologise for writing negatively of you and the church in this public forum. I am sorry I hurt you this way. It was never...

Heartbroken

Yesterday, I blogged about my thoughts and feelings concerning my church. It痴 no excuse that I thought no one from my church knew about this blog. It was wrong of me to do that, because if I have a concern...

And we call this "church"??!?!

On Monday night, I met up with two friends for a time of worship and prayer. One of them asked us to pray for someone he knows. This lady had accepted Christ for about six months when she found out...

Constructive suggestions

Macker got down to the brass tacks in my comments box yesterday.Mizwacky ... you make some very good points. All too often they are all too true. So as a leader in my church, how would you expect me to...

A different perspective

And now that you’ve heard me rant, the Mute Troubadour tells how it’s like from the other side of the coin:Last night it was mentioned at a meeting that we'd be having a Christmas Day worship service. Not a long...

To hurt is not to harm

Blake emailed me yesterday, saying, "We're to guard our tongue and be aware of how our words affect others. Although this blog gives you such freedom to express all you think, others can be hurt (please be aware)." Yes, I'm...

Struggling alone

I seem to have created a controversy of sorts without meaning to. Many thanks to James Cordey of Threshing Floor, who said of me, "She continues to process the whole thing and try to hear God in it all and...

Old ghosts

I think this is probably a good passage of Scripture to remember right now: "One thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which...

The greedy cassette player

Let's have some comic relief in this here blog! My car's cassette player decided that it was tired of letting all that nice brown tape just pass it by, and decided to take a bite out of my cassette. The...

A little punditry

Since I'm Malaysian (and live in Malaysia), this commentary by Jeffrey Collins at Joyful Christian drew my attention. Our leaders have always seemed to be a wee bit suspicious of "the West". Perhaps that stems from memories of being a...

So I went to church this morning

This morning, I went to a church called Soulcare Church. I thought the name was quite appropriate! The pastor is a friend of mine, someone I originally met over the Internet(!). I've always seen him as a sort of "on-line...

Random stuff

Statement of fact: I am just very stressed out at work right now. No further comment. :P Thanks to Jason Trommetter for this article about meaningful giving during the Christmas season. He explores the meaning of the three gifts brought...

He cares about ALL my concerns

I think half a journalist's life is spent on the phone. I have an impossible assignment due tomorrow. Until today, I couldn't even find anyone who was willing to be interviewed on the subject! Since my story was thrown out...

Analysing...

Wow, I'm still getting emails over the church issue. Thank you for all the encouragement and support extended to me. Having blogged out all my frustration and cried out all my pain in church on Sunday, I'm back on an...

Links and such

I finally managed to open the Who Links Who page, and discovered that two bloggers who were previously unknown to me, had actually included links to my site on theirs! (Who Links Who is Dave King's brainchild. It shows the...

Seasons of life

In Women of Destiny, Cindy Jacobs writes, "Life is a series of seasons, and we all experience winters, springs, summers and falls." She elaborates: Winter "Wonder Why It's Not Happening" LandWinter is a time when you may feel rather dead...

This just in

Awesome! You have to check out Frank Johnson's blog, ProdigalGod.com. In his latest post, he talks about how the house church might be a better idea than a "real" church because it offers a truer sense of community and connectiveness,...

Materialism's lure

I've been doing quite a bit of blog-surfing. I know there's a lot of posts today, but I'm on leave from tomorrow till the weekend, so I think I must be subconsciously trying to make up for the future lack...
