So that His promise is not made empty
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." - Matthew 6:34
Life is HK right now seems too good to be true. At work, I've got good students, good colleagues, a good principal and a good natural environment. At home, I get to spend time with my parents. I have yet to make ( Read more... ) -
Coincidences
King David - "Here I am, living in a palace of cedar, while the ark of God remains in a tent." - 2 Samuel 7:1
I just found this verse very funny and ironic. Despite David's faults, he really thinks of the Lord not just as an entity to obey but as someone whom he loves and cares for. His statement serves also as a question. Why is God's ark in a tent ( Read more... ) -
Cairns
"Overhead the great empty bowl of the night sky turned so fast the stars blurred like spun torches. A sun rose, fat and carmine - a bloated travesty of what he knew as the sun. Was it ill?" - Lieutenant Rillish. Return of the Crimson Guard by Cameron Esslemont

Mellow out in old age
The Justice of the Peace I met today is an old man probably in his 60-70s. We ended up chatting for an hour about him and me. One of his eardrums is damaged from an explosion during his career in the army. He later moved to the foreign affairs and now? retired. He said he's blunt and bad-tempered and that bluntness can appear quite rude at times. ( Read more... ) -

Another goodbye
"Life is about decision making." - blewin
I finally made the decision to quit Loyal Kiss (formerly Fateful Encounters before it merged with another group). It feels like I've been with them for so long, but it's really only been one year. It took me a while to make the decision, but you only have so much time a day. You can't do everything.

Through a non-believer's eyes?
"To know oneself, is above all, to know what one lacks. It is to measure oneself against the Truth, and not the other way around."
- The Fiction Writer and His Country by Flannery O'Connor
I can't imagine what it's like to read the bible through a non-believer's eyes. What does he see? What makes him go "wow" and "Tsk"? How does he think that makes ( Read more... )
