Received a bomb this morning. All CCAs will not be functioning on Saturday morning. Well, still trying to let it sink into my thick skull. The speed on which it came caught me by surprise. Didn't realised that it had to come so soon and so swift. Reminded me of the parable of the ten Virgins.....you better be prepared or else you won't get to feast with the bride and the groom! Where's your extra flask of oil.....how can you not be prepared for this? This thought has been chipping at the back of my mind ever since that bomb dropped on my lap. I guess there is only one thing to do now, and that is to go back to the drawing board and seek the Lord's direction on this.......ok Lord, what do I do now?????

Have you talked to God recently?
Attended the G12 on Thursday night. Sigh....realised that we've come to a point of no return.
What used to be 15 members has now dwindled to 7 of us. Sadly, the discussion level has gone down. Reticent at times, can't imagine the deafening silence breaks out like a roar.
Then came the question, how was our prayer life? Have we started to pray like there's no tomorrow? If not, why are we in this stalmate?
I'm determined to do what's right! Learning to be resolute in what Jesus has conmissioned us to do as His disciples. Pray, pray and pray....
God, our heavenly Father, even as the G12 members resolve to pray for one another, I ask that You, O God will watch over us. Discipline us like You discipline your own children, for we are not illigitimate sons and daughters. Teach us to pray at all times, in season and out of season. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen!

The mother of all absurdity!
Watched the Singapore idol on TV after the National Day parade. Have I not mentioned that things can go from bad to worst?
And you thought that nothing can be worst off than William Hung.......in came contestant from our very doorsteps.......the dead will flip from their grave!
How do I first describe the inate and the pukey? We have arrived at the deepest abyss of all human insolent....we have actually gone way too low for such indescribable acts, the mother of all absurdity.
To all the contestants, if you have the talent, good luck to you! If you don't have, spare us the agony, I have nothing more to puke!

Grief that will not last
Where do babies go when they die? I, for one, am seeking an answer that is not easy to find.
It is with sadness and profound grief that Barnabas gave up his fight. Perhaps God wants him to go home, or perhaps God has a purpose and plan for everything that He has done. Grief and sadness may be here, but it will not last. God will wipe away all the tears, take away his pain and sufferings. Yes, our God is a faithful God, for He has compassion upon His children.

Do what is good, not what you fancy to be good!
Have you ever wonder why we must do good? Or have you thought of doing something evil and get away with it? It's harder to do good than to perform evil, but at what price?
I marvel at what God would say to us, "So you think that I'm not watching? Wait till you come to my flashback omni-presence theatre, and I will show you what you have done for the lifetime that you've been on earth!"
Oops! God: 1, devil: 0.
"The wicked are not so, but they are like chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgement, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish."
Psalms 1 : 4 - 6

Have Your own way, Lord
Yes Lord, I surrender everything to You. Even my best kept secrets. You and I makes the majority. Have Your own way, Lord!

Eeeeeks! I feel the draft coming....or is it winds of change?
I feel so foreign here! Haven't been blogging for quite sometime.
This week has been a whirlwind tour of strained concentration and emotions...literally! So much things happened. Firstly, received news that we're moving our office with no new premises in sight....talk about walking by faith! And to add to the twist, we have to leave by 10th August....alas! our office equipment are very much at Blk 924 and taken root. looking at all the things we have to move makes me drained out and flat. So the work has started.....looking for movers...get the office air-cons out of 924....to packing every little item that is straddling on every corner of the office. Help us O God, won't You have mercy on us?
Attended a funeral cremation of someone I didn't even knew this afternoon. Ps. Gordon conducted the service at the new Crematorium in Mandai. He wanted me to go and see how he does his part in conducting such services for non-believers. It's strange to be in such a atmosphere, highly-charged emotions so alienated from where I was standing. Knowing that the deceased committed suicide due to intense stress in her work makes me to remark that people worked themselves to death. As all the family members and colleagues grieved over the deceased, I can't help but think whether the deceased would go to Heaven as she hasn't even give her life to Jesus. Much to think and ponder about!
God of Heaven and Earth, judge of the living and the dead. I pray that You O Lord, will show Your compassion and mercy to the deceased, that even as Your children stand in the gap to pray and intercede for all, that Your love will continue to pour forth even to the love ones that are left behind and to those who attended the cremation service, that You touch them withYour everlasting love, remove their hardened hearts so that they will know that there is a God who cares even for one like us. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen!
