Resolved & reconciled

The problem with doing stupid things is that they always come back to haunt me. So, after admitting that I was wrong to blog about the incident without first speaking with the writer in question, I started imagining... what if...

100 things

After all the serious stuff this week, it's time for something lighter. I've been working on a "100 things about me" list for more than a year now. Surprising how difficult it is to think of 100 things! Am I...

The name game

Technically, 'Sunflower' is not my real name. It is a name I chose myself when I was 15, and is not on any of my official identification documents. How's that for a bombshell?! And here you guys thought you knew...

Puzzled

I've heard some say that I'm "real" and "open" and "honest" in my writings here, but I don't think I could ever be as "real" as this guy. He's on the same journey I'm on, but on a far more...

God's faithfulness

As I read others' stories, I'm constantly reminded how sheltered and protected I was as a child. I grew up with Christian parents — okay, so maybe they weren't perfect, and I've had some issues with them, but I'll always...

Compatibility vs. "love"

Ever since writing about arranged marriages in early April, I've been thinking about the supposed fact that arranged marriages last longer than so-called "love matches". Just so you know, the couple with the world's longest marriage (until the wife passed...

Dreaming of art

I was going to publish this as a comment at Onionboy's latest post but it got so long, I am putting it here.  Dear O, I was touched when I read your words. When I was very young my first...

A lesson from Ruth

Lady Snoflek and I met up this afternoon to do the last installment of our Bible study on the book of Ruth. Yep, that Bible study we started way back in November! We decided we'd better do it this week...

Constant rededications

More and more, I'm beginning to find that each Sunday service is a time of rededication for me. I'm discovering that, as I sing, I reaffirm the truths I believe in and long once again to be all that God...

No regrets

A friend of mine had an elder brother pass away suddenly last week. As I watched her preparing to go back to her hometown to be with her family, I imagined getting a call out of the blue, telling me...

Anniversary

Today my blog turns two. I wonder if blog years are like dog years? I've seen so many blogs abandoned after a few months, weeks or even just after one post. Maybe that means my blog is really turning fourteen!...

Where, oh where can it be?

I can't find one of my books, the one that I quoted just a few days ago. I was searching high and low for it this morning coz I was going to pay my phone bill and wanted to have...

Just a system

Roberta asked me to "test" Mac Swift's contention that the cell group system is there to control members and monitor dissent. I'm still thinking about what Mac said. Certainly, in my previous previous church, this was at least partially true....

Misunderstood media

I'm so totally exhausted, but I just wanted to write something. I've been out of town over the weekend, working, and life is just going to be mad from now until the end of the month. Actually, the madness started...

Unconscious faith

It seems that I am always doomed to sit near the wing when I'm on an aeroplane. Humph. Anyway, as I was looking out at the wing, wishing it weren't blocking my view (clouds are so much more interesting), I...

Manipulating God

Over at Can You Hear Me Now, Clarence has been exploring the purpose behind fasting, and how we sometimes seem to use fasting as a way to manipulate God. Now, I've always gotten the impression that if you particularly want...

Writing into silence

Bene Diction posted fairly recently about large organisations' response to email inquiries. Or rather, non-response. In that post, I commented about sending an email to my church through a contact form on their website. I'd just recently decided to start...

Response!

Drama drama! This morning, I received a call at about 11:30am from a lady called Mrs Ong. She said she was from OTY Jewellery. Now remember, OTY is owned by the Ong family -- the company takes its name from...

Apologies to OTY

(Note: this is an update from previous post) First off, I apologise to the Ong family and OTY Jewellery coz it turns out that yeah, I was just the victim of poor judgement on the part of certain employees, as...

I can't believe how PR-like I sound. *shudders*...
