every moment I am awake

If the world is sane, then Jesus is mad as a hatter and the Last Supper is the Mad Tea Party. The world says, Mind your own business, and Jesus says, There is no such thing as your own business. The world says, Follow the wisest course and be a success, and Jesus says, Follow me and be crucified. The world says, Drive carefully -- the life you save may be your own -- and Jesus says, Whoever would save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. The world says, Law and order, and Jesus says, Love. The world says, Get and Jesus says, Give. In terms of the world's sanity, Jesus is crazy as a coot, and anybody who thinks he can follow him without being a little crazy too is laboring less under a cross than under a delusion. -- Frederick Buechner

on the 3rd of November 2005, we went to julie's dad's place at Blk 53 Telok Blangah drive for a hari raya lunch. this is the first time i have ever celebrated hari raya with my friends..so many of us were at julie's place and the food was superb (julie's sister has fantastic culinary skills). i have concluded that it is wonderful to have such festive gatherings and it warms the heart to see people of vastly different generations in that same contained space, yet binded in that same united purpose of celebrating that new year's day. as usual, propelled by that innate love for children, i played with julie's nephew and boy, tiring it is for many of us, because he is extremely hyperactive, noisy, garrulous and naughty.. but undoubtedly, he remains the joy kicking on this festive day, bringing runs of laughter to many of us. this is the first time too, that i have ever updated so many pictures on my blog..
we headed to jason's place at Blk 473 pasir ris Drive 6 soon after for a hari raya dinner.. and became witnesses to jason's fashion show , somewhat sober i hope. i really had a great time and perhaps the best to kickstart a holidays ahead.
today, i woke up and had a lunch with denjz, haven't seen him for a long time.. and i spent the whole day, listening to the city harvest sermons online, spending time with God, reading my bible. I have seen and am still seeing God through love..I want to be a pillar for Christ today, right now. i have also recognised thatas philip yancey says, i am a spiritual being in this human experience, not a human being in this spiritual experience
