thinker
Dr: I don't really know what your son's chances are, let's not play guessing games. For the time being, just pray hard.
Daddy: I'm a freethinker.
Dr: Oh. (pauses for a long while) Then think positive.
For some reason I found alot more irony in this statement than the doctor intended><
Today I had the chance to follow a pretty awesome doctor in opth clinic. I dint get to do fundoscopes or look into slit lamps, but he's one of those docs who remind you to think about patients as people and treat people, not merely eyeballs. So that was pretty cool (: He also reminded me that when we think we are down and out, perhaps we should look around to realize how blessed we already are.

BSF had its sharing night today. It was pretty inspiring to hear people come up to share about how attending bible studies for years has changed their lives. 7 years is indeed a long time, and I guess in a funny way it wasnt that surprising that one of the member's bfs thought it was a cult! haha. I used to feel inclined to dismiss people's testimonies about being transformed by the Word as overly emotional/pious affairs, but I've been proven wrong, because studying the book of John has challenged my notions about who Jesus was, and poked holes in my shallow ideas about living a christian life. I've grown so used to the bible being a supplement to my life, instead of being the entire focus of it, it's no wonder I instinctively reach for my phone to text friends rather than reach for my bible when I'm down. So yups, I'm beginning to realize how the word is indeed powerful, and it is a humbling thought. Am so blessed to have been in BSF these few months (:
