Remembered

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 time for the family.
While I didn’t know Sue well, she was a familiar face, often helping out at church activities. Her husband Marv has been our resident saxophonist in the Worship team for years, and we’ve played together before. He’s a great guy. I can only offer him my condolences and keep him and his family in prayers.
A local American paper has a more detailed obituary on her passing. It mentions that Sue was also a docent at the Singapore Museum, travelled with Friends of the Museum, and also lectured at the Singapore Heritage Council. She did her part to promote breast cancer awareness too, writing textbooks to help people understand the condition.
Thank you, Sue. We know you’re in a better place now.
[Update: For those who are interested, Sue’s Memorial Service will be held at St George’s church on Friday evening, 2 November.]

    The church website is well on its way. I received a tonne of content to add in over the past few days, and have been duly overwhelmed. It took nearly a year to get everyone to agree on what to do. We got caught up in font types, background colours, programming jargon, server issues, budget…

    This morning I awoke, knowing that I had nearly forgotten to attend a meeting to prepare for my church’s forthcoming Alpha course. I didn’t really want to go. In fact I’d never have volunteered myself as a helper if my priest hadn’t put my name on the list. I was honoured when he asked, but…

    After a packed itinerary this morning and afternoon, I went home with the intention of doing some work. Now I seldom, if never, bring my work home, because I believe that if I organise my time properly there’d be no such need to do so. This time, however, I thought I’d better make an exception…

  • Hacked again

    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…

  • Baptisms and Light

    Today, two friends were baptised in church. They were the couple who met at our Bible Study session, where I felt the “This is it!” sensation from the Holy Spirit. Over a year has passed since then, and they’re planning to get married already. This morning I was very happy to share in this joyous…

  1. Its sad to hear about the untimely demise of a dear friend of yours, who is also a keen volunteer at our museums. Let’s pray that her family takes it well. At least, it is heartening to know that she has lived her life well, which is sometimes what truly matters at the day of reckoning. Isn’t it?
