I just realised today’s 6 April. I was [baptised](http://vantan.org/archives/2003/04/my_baptism.php) 5 years ago, to this day. And it’s also a Sunday today! Baptism is the outward sign by which I show my commitment to Christ. However it is what’s inside that is more important – not how many ceremonies you’ve gone through. My journey so far…
I will be reading in church this Sunday. I hope my cough clears up by then. I just received the passage and it’s one I’ve often referred to when addressing those who expect miracles to land at their feet in order to believe that there is a God. Tactfully, of course 😉 Matthew 12:38-42 Then…
This question was asked by Rev Mervyn Moore during our Carols by Candlelight service. Listen on for rather amusing responses from the children.
We had our Carols by Candlight singalong session cum fundraiser for the Missions to Seafarers last night. I’d say *only by the Grace of God* did we get our act together! 😛 So many things happened that could have jeopardised the entertainment: 1. The guy who was supposed to set up our band equipment, was…
I was checking my personal email this morning and saw a prayer request from my church. We seldom receive such emails but this was for someone that the whole church would know about. Our missionary and Reverend MWM’s wife MH has stage IV cancer and I cannot bear to imagine the intensity of the suffering…
It’s launched! See www.stgeorges.org.sg. It was much harder than I thought, but it’s wonderful to see it live. We announced it to the congregation this morning. [My sister shot a video of our website launch and speeches … it needs editing before being uploaded here] I have to thank the rest of the team for…
I wrote previously of the passing of Sue, a member of my church. This is to inform those who are interested that a memorial/thanksgiving service will be held on Friday 2 Nov 2007. Her husband Marv sent some of us more details and I have his permission to place it on my blog. Check out…
After weeks of feeling things were out of control, I said my prayers and my eyes were opened to all the bugs I had missed previously. Now most of the design elements are working fine. As of 20 minutes ago I managed to get the site to validate. Every page tested so far is perfectly…
We were deeply shocked and saddened to hear that Sue Hixson, a long-serving member of my church, passed away suddenly. She was travelling back to the US to be with her daughter, who was expecting her first child. She didn’t get to see her granddaughter, who was named after her. It must be a difficult…
[This post may disturb some readers. Christians may continue to read on. Don’t worry, it has a happy ending, just like Harry Potter, or so I heard :)] I had a very engaging conversation with my younger cousins over dinner – boys I seldom talk to for more than a couple of minutes. They have…
