HAVE A CHUCKLE

Last week, at Tecman, bought "Fellowship
of the Burning Heart" by A.W.Tozer.
The book is edited by Rev.James L.Snyder;
Publisher is Bridge-Logos,
Orlander, FL 32822 USA
Year 2006.

Here are some remarks to have a laugh or two
but also to chew on :

1. "Now there's a lot of praying going on these
days. God is on everybody's mailing list these
days... A lot of things He is not going to do,
and we might just as well save our time and
go for a walk. "

2. The simple fact is that God never responds
to any such prayers....
He allows people to blow off steam all night
long, rub their sleepy eyes, and then go home
thinking they had done God's work.

3. There was a day when men believed in the
sovereignty of God. The Calvinists believed in
the sovereignty of God and the Arminians
believed in the sovereignty of God, stronger yet
than the Calvinists, although they didn't know it.

4.The great God of the Bible is the God into
whose presence you went with fear. You do
not come dashing in wearing your tennis outfit
and go into a huddle with God, and then rush
out again.

5. Send a missionary over there with a cheap
concept of God and his head filled with jingly
choruses, and that's the kind of Christianity
he will produce over there.

6. I know some of you will never get over that
"If God wants to pick up the Mennonites and
restore the glory of God, you have to pray just
as hard and just as seriously as if He was going
to use the Christians and Missionary Alliance.
I know some of you will never get over that. There
will be heart attacks all over the campgrounds.
It'll be all right. You'll get over it.

7. But God will send His prophets. He always
has. Some red- headed fellow, running around
here covered with freckles, with big ears
standing out like taxi cab doors standing open.
You don't know - that may be the boy.

Time posted all wrong

Time posted for previous blogs
all wrong.
All were done far into the night.
Now have learnt from Jayne
how to change time.
Ya, learning more and more
each day.
Finding it quite fun, so far.

Hailstone in Singapore?

That's right! Hailstone in Singapore.
Yesterday.
Between 3.15 - 3.45 p.m.
In Central Singapore -
Bishan and Toa Payoh.
Roughly three-quarters
the size of a 5-cent coin.
Apparently, last year too.

Must practise

Must practise before all is forgotten.
Though it's late and all ready to call it a day.
A week of 'widowhood' with spouse away
But big comfort with the company of
a sweet daughter.
Together we trot to and fro to Tecman
Sunday, Monday and Wednesday.
Taking bus rides
Having dinner
Searching for bus stops home-

Just to shop for the bible
that must be the right size
right version ( KJV and no other),
right color for the cover
right print on the spine
no print of 'Holy Bible' on the front....

But what a bargain
30% off
when you dare to be thick-skinned enough
to ask to 'tumpang' somebody who has membership card

Got for myself A.W.Tozer's
"Fellowship of the Burning Heart"
Skimmed through it Monday
Couldn't resist his dry wit humor.

Well, it's rather late.
Tomorrow Cecilia & Pastor
giving me a lift to the airport
to welcome the 2nd team back
from Thailand.
Michael included!

Now it's getting encouraging

I saw the results.
Yeh! It got posted.
All on my own.
It's getting encouraging!
It's getting to be fun!
You will see more of them!

it's not easy

Who says doing a blog is easy?
Getting through is enough to drive you crazy!
If not for the help of Jayne
I would have given up totally.
And now on my own,
It would be wonders if this get posted!
