I've not been keeping up with my "40-day spiritual journey", a.k.a. The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. It's becoming more like The 80-day Spiritual Journey!!! Anyway, yesterday I read Chapter 5 (now you know what I mean - I...
With Mom's, "Why do you need to spend so much time in the Internet cafe?" ringing in my ears, here I am :) The connection is veeeeeery slow today, the weather has been horribly hot (35C) and this place is...
Nathan recently asked me how I got to be interested in practising law. The truth is, I never was - which probably accounts for the fact that I'm not practising it now! Whenever I tell people I have a law...
One of my uncles died of cancer many years ago. He accepted Christ just months before he died, when he was already weak and bedridden. I saw the charismatic Christians pray for him, proclaiming that God would heal him, telling...
Yesterday, in thinking about the way charismatic Christians pray for healing, it struck me that there seems to be a subtle fear of death. Sue Prince echoed that thought when she said this in the comments:The "name it and claim...
Sorry for the silence over the past few days. It's been a busy weekend and... what do you do when you have friends who make what you feel are unreasonable demands on your time? And say things to make you...
"Go review this," my supervisor said last week, tossing an invite onto my desk. Turns out it was for the press screening of Darkness Falls. A ghost/horror movie. Gaaah! You have to know that I never watch such movies. NEVER....
Last night I was talking to my pastor's wife. I asked her how you can ever pray in faith, believing that God will give you what you ask for, when it's clear that He doesn't always! I mean, if you...
Last night, a friend I haven't seen in months suddenly called me up and invited me for dinner. We went out, and as we sat down at the table I saw something twinkling on the fourth finger of her left...
Blogger has been giving me problems all day over the past two days. I've tried and tried to post, but the moment I hit "Post & publish" I get 403 error messages in both frames, and the post doesn't go...
OK, Haloscan has eaten up comments from the last 2 posts. This is The Last Straw. As of now, I'm officially working on a move to Moveable Type. Blogger and Haloscan have both proven to be unreliable and I Just...
You know how we always think that it's so hard to do the right thing because it involves so much sacrifice and means we'll have to suffer? In contrast, sin, as we know, is enjoyable - otherwise we wouldn't do...
Last week was really hectic - I had appointments every single day and lived in dread of forgetting one. See, two weeks ago I forgot a work-related appointment. My supervisor nearly killed me, and I felt pretty bad myself. There...
Most of you would have noticed that I haven't blogged on the (impending) war at all. The only thing I've written so far was on Malaysia's stand on it, and that was on Feb 26. Rachel's words express my feelings...
Haloscan restored my "lost" comments sometime last night (after more than 48 hours!), so I caught up on the comments to my Friday post on man-made rules. Quite a conversation I missed there. :) I'm going to try to respond...
I bought a book entitled Science Facts For Kids today. Hey, like I told Jonathan, I'm not at all sure that I'm now an adult... I'm still in denial! But it's seriously cool... I love this stuff! Here's some information...
So I've shown a tendency to hijack other people's comments sections recently, and I really shouldn't. The most recent incident occurred when I hijacked Karen's comments section last night. She wrote how she used to fear that her newfound faith...
I'd rate my week a 9 out of 10 on the "week greatness" scale; 1 being you absolutely don't even want to hear what happened in my week, and 10 being splendiferous. Nothing to do with work, although I had...
Very interesting to read Jen's "Anniversary Musings on Love" at blogs4God this morning. I watched Just Married yesterday. In case you don't know, it's about this couple who jumped into bed with each other almost at the first meeting, moved...
Russ has a link to a website that allows us to "adopt" a member of the US military in prayer. Like Russ, it is easier for me to focus and feel connected if I pray for a person with a...
Sometimes I feel outnumbered in BlogWorld, because there are so many bloggers from the US and I'm the lone voice from Malaysia. (Did I hear someone ask, "Malaysia? Whazzat???" LOL) So just imagine how pleased I was to discover the...
Quite recently I met up with a new group of Christians - we're supposed to have a sort of Bible study once a month. We were all strangers before this Bible study thing brought us together. It's a one-year programme...
I forgot to mention yesterday that Dean has invited me to joined the blogs4God moderating team, to cover the "shining stars of the Southern Hemisphere", as he put it. It's a privilege to work with the rest of the team....
Do you ever have times when you don't know why you're doing what you're doing? I do. The other day, I caught myself doing what I now think of as my "blur act" once again. It happens every time someone...
Pastor Simon Loh, 39, of Faith Assembly Of God, Singapore, yesterday died of lung failure, caused by the mysterious Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) that has hit the region. He contracted SARS after visiting a SARS patient in the hospital...
I'm going to start off by saying that I believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit (including speaking in tongues and prophecy) and I believe that God can and does give words of knowledge for encouragement and edification of...
Update from Friday's post. From the World Health Organisation:WHO infectious disease specialist, Dr Carlo Urbani, the first WHO officer to identify the outbreak of this new disease and treat the earliest cases in Hanoi, died of SARS today [Mar 29]...
You know, I really shouldn't open my big mouth so often. Last week, as my supervisor was handing out assignments, she actually gave us a choice. And I chose to review Dreamcatcher. With the press screening scheduled for tomorrow, I...
