God looks after His creation
19 April
It’s been such an exhausting period for me as I try to clear all the decks in the office before going away for 2 months ahead of a big event. My morning exercise routine out on the balcony has been somewhat interrupted, but today being a Sat I have the luxury of going through [...]
All Creation Hears Him
Learnt something at church service yesterday evening. Speaker said that the basis for hearing God was not righteousness because the Bible tells us that He had spoken, inter alia, to murderers (Cain after he slew Abel) and adulterers, and certainly to all people, not just His followers. Her fundamental starting [...]

I attended a Christmas service today. Big deal, you might say. And indeed no big deal, but it was no small deal too. It did take some effort to get up in time on a public holiday to attend a 8 am service. It did mean making the effort to suss out wh ich [...]

It’s been more than a month since I last wrote. It’s been a harrowing month, right down to last week when I was supposed to be on holiday in the beautiful hot spring area around Nagoya, and fell ill from over-extending myself in the lead up to this conference-cum-personal retreat trip.

This morning, as I exercised out on the balcony, there it was again, a blue kingfisher perched on my neighbour’s TV aerial. It reminded me of a fine morning 2 weeks ago when I was treated to a flypast of bird colours, starting with this kingfisher. It reminded me that I should capture this memory [...]

It’s been some time now since I last wrote, and today my editor friend referred me to a book that he was raving about, simply called “Better” by an Indian surgeon living in America, Atul Gawande, about the practice of medicine, applied to daily life. 5 pointers at the end of the book, [...]

The other day, our local Straits Times showed a rather ironic picture of people standing along the esplanade at Penang’s Gurney Drive looking out towards the sea. And what were they hoping to see? Signs of a tsunami when the Penang authorities had issued a tsunami alert warning following the mammoth 8.1 richter-scale earthquake that [...]

This morning, as I exercised out on my balcony overlooking my neighbour’s garden as I do most days, a bird’s flight movement in direct line of my sight drew my attention to a nest that it had built on a twine hanging from the tree that dominated that garden. Now, how was it that [...]
