– I know some people wonder if God exists or even doubt that He does. Yet I feel it is one of those things you know is real yet you find I hard to explain how it can possibly be real. Some feel that it there is a God there would not be suffering. But as Enigma puts it, “Where there is light,...
Irony
The irony is this - it took being distracted to come back to being focused.
Ian and I have been following “Sherlock” which made me want to read Sir ACD’s novels on the great sleuth. And it was in reading one of the novels that Holmes said something which resonated through me.
“I consider that a man’s brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to...

Being the mum of a Tweenager has been interesting. My dad, who retired early to help me with my firstborn 10 years ago, and I were having a bite and a c hat the other day.
“He is a lot like you,” Dad said when I brought up how korkor bear had been sleeping late because he had been sneakily reading at night.

– I agree with her. Kids need to learn that there are actions and consequences. If they do not learn it in a controlled environment such as in school & at home, they will be in for a rude shock when they step out into the world. We need to step back and let them learn how to deal with facing the...

I haven’t been doing quiet time as much as I should. The more I need to do, the more I need to be quiet by His feet. I really miss spending time doing “the one thing which is most needful”.
I have been distracted by housework, by parenting, by socializing with fellow mummies, by moderating… All fine activities and not meant to be shirked off. But the bible says that...
“A Christian should not act according to what he hears from people without;...”
– I must confess that there are days that the world makes a cacophony that makes listening to the inner man tough. Everyday is a lesson in learning to stop Nd listen and trust and act from rest.

Restful increase - my heart song
No longer striving, no longer stressed
In You, my Jesus, I’ve found my rest
No longer toiling, hard labour ceased
For You’ve assured me
Restful increase
Your open arms held nothing back
Your life for mine
You overpaid my debt
Free in Your love
I have found my rest
Your heart’s delight
Is to see me blessed
You’ve given me peace all around
Now I’m enjoying
This grace I’ve found...

Lower Delta Road will never feel the same again. The KTM tracks i grew up next to is bidding farewell to us & being shipped back to Malaysia. The picturesque carpets of lush greenery will most likely make way for rapid urbanization & the invasion of the concrete jungle. It has managed to stave off the mushrooming of tar and cement for decades but “progress” must have its way-...
