There is a price that comes with good health – Responsibility. When we’re sick or crippled, we have an excuse to bum and let other people do the hard work for us. While we don’t live to the fullest, we may be able to get along quite comfortably with that chip on the shoulder. And […]

More than words
As 2008 drew to a close this week, God gave me a glimpse of what 2009 holds for me: Healing and mission. This past couple of weeks, I have realized that there are some parts of my life that require the healing touch of the Divine Physician. In fact, the last two weeks have culminated […]
Visiting Master Althan Ng
Zibin and I visited Althan and his Papa and Mama this past Friday. What a treat it was! Althan performed a Doraemon song and dance which he had choreographed himself. As the host, he offered us a choice of drinks. When I asked him what the choices were, Althan read the labels “Honey(suckle)”, “Ice Lemon […]
Christmas
When Christ said: “I was hungry and you fed me,” he didn’t mean only the hunger for bread and for food; he also meant the hunger to be loved. Jesus himself experienced this loneliness. He came amongst his own and his own received him not, and it hurt him then and it has kept on […]
Cream of mushroom soup

It started this morning when the husband and I were at Vivocity for Tengah Air Base’s anniversary cohesion day. While looking for a place to sit and wait for him during the employees-only lucky draw, I […]
I give thanks
Thank you Lord For friends and family who love me For the gift of their time and presence For the sincerity in their gaze and the warmth of their hugs And thank you Lord For every high and every low of every day For joy and for sorrow For despair and for hope But most […]
The illusion of control
So much of human social evolution has emphasized mastery and control – over both self and external factors – we have quite lost an accurate grasp of the limits of our control. Must it take natural disasters, financial meltdowns and terrorist attacks for us to gain an inkling at how little control we actually possess […]
As I am today
I am who I am, today – not yesterday, and not tomorrow. I may be wiser today than I was yesterday, but that cannot change the mistake I made yesterday for yesterday I did not yet have today’s wisdom. I might be wiser tomorrow than I am today, but tomorrow’s wisdom cannot help me with […]
