“Constantly choose rather to want less, than to have more.” — Thomas à Kempis Reflecting on the theme of “contentment” from our daily devotion on Every Day with Jesus, I decided that it was time to do some decluttering — to rid of some of the things that I no longer want or need and…
We do not have a choir at our church nor do we have a huge team of worship leaders. Apart from the musicians, I think there are only about 7 who actually sing and with their weekly rotations and a couple of them double up as musicians as well, we usually see just 4 –…
First, let me start by telling you a story about people walking on the sea… Matthew 14:22-32 22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd.23 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later…
I am blessed with a stunning view from both the living room and master bedroom floor-length windows of my condo. The dramatic sky, interesting cloud formations and vibrant colours during some mornings with Mt. Kinabalu in the foreground can be really awesome.

I spotted the dragon’s scale fern the other day at my friend’s garden just before I was about to leave. I delayed my departure and took out my camera again and walked over to the palm tree by the edge of the garden to take a few shots of this interesting plant that grows on…
There are only two days left before 2016 comes to a close and slowly becomes just a distant memory as we turn over a new leaf for the new year. As most are ready to put the past behind them and gearing up with hope for better days ahead, I am pausing and spending time…
Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Just about a week before Christmas, I got a text message from our church pastor, Ps. Renny. In her text she informed…
I have been feeling slightly unsettled since November this year, mainly because of the last minute postponement until further notice of my supposed month-long business trip overseas due to some technical issues.
