We’ve been reading children’s bible passages every evening to our boys. Today, my husband Ron chose a passage on how Jesus loves children, and read it to our younger son Paul. When he elaborated that this meant Jesus loved Paul, Paul repeated, “Jesus loves me??” And he looked so chuffed, he literally rolled over in…
This Christmas, three of my friends encountered very different life-changing experiences. First, just before Christmas Day, I was elated to hear that a close friend of mine was going to become a mother. My longstanding prayers for blessings have become that of thanksgiving, and now I can only ask for the pregnancy to be uneventful,…
Sometimes I leave the office, full of thoughts in my head about how I’m going to juggle several projects, manage downwards and upwards and so forth. Then I go somewhere else, and see what real problems are like. And all the little nagging thoughts I’ve been having about my own life leave my head, as…
Leading up to Christmas, I found myself influenced by different instincts and feelings of obligations. This made me wonder just how close to the spirit of Christmas they really were, and how far I had drifted from the true spirit of Christmas. This year, my earthly instinct was to plan ahead for Christmas shopping, get…
I was just listening to a Brian McKnight album named after our common star sign, Gemini. Then I realised one track was about Jesus’ crucifixion. Wha – ? An R&B track entirely about Christ? So I Googled it and found the [lyrics](http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/brianmcknight/meyou.html) which I shall reproduce here. Hope you had a happy and meaningful Easter….
A couple weeks ago in church, we were told that a special speaker was coming to preach at the 6pm service at a certain date on ‘The Worthy Woman of Business’. I perked up. That might give me a better sense of what I should be doing with myself, post-MBA. I jotted down the date…
Just as I was about to drive home from school today, I received a missed call from an unfamiliar number. Normally I do not return such calls, as often it’s a case of ‘wrong number’. But this time I decided to call back. The voice at the other end of the line called out my…
I learnt that over the past week, [my church website](http://www.stgeorges.org.sg/) was hacked with the image of a flaming monkey on the home page. That image was quickly removed. This morning I was informed that our Joomla templates were messed with, and as a precaution we’ve taken the site down temporarily. I’m not particularly upset that…
Today’s sermon was the last in the series on [Ecclesiastes](http://ebible.com/bible/ecclesiastes). It’s a sobering book which can sound pretty depressing, summed up by the phrase “Everything is meaningless!”. This tone of despair sounds strange as it comes from King Solomon, who you’d imagine was the smartest, richest King of Israel. He realised all his accomplishments would…
I have come to a realisation. Through God’s grace over the years, my work has been featured in the press. That has in turn made it easier to gain support for subsequent new media projects. In a very small way, I hope that will lead to a ripple effect as we all endeavour to open…
