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 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 …
