It’s Holy Week. Jews prepare to celebrate the Passover, Roman Catholics and Christians prepare to celebrate Easter. To most of these worshippers all over the world, it’s a big affair. But this year, there’s nothing much to celebrate, commemorate, or whatever you would call it, except to look at our miserable screen and share someContinue reading “(un)Majestic God – Php 2:6-11”

Peservance in Tribulation, Constancy in Prayer
This Covid-19 is taking a drag. Since the initial outbreak in China, many of us have invested in business continuity plans, managing expectations, keeping people safe and things running (as much as we can). I have done the same. Yet everytime when I think I am ahead of the curve (today included), situations deteriorate. CompoundingContinue reading “Peservance in Tribulation, Constancy in Prayer”
Patience from Romans 8:18-25
The world is imperfect, we (humans) have played a part to cause this imperfection. Who would have known a fruit ate by Adam would cause a cosmic degeneration of mankind? Who would have known one person’s meal of a wildlife delicacy of Bat meat would cause a healthcare pandemic (Covid-19), and an economic / socialContinue reading “Patience from Romans 8:18-25”
He Will Come And Save You
It has been an overwhelming season. COVID-19, near global lockdown, business continuity plans. Yet the global pandemic is not abating. Hospitals overwhelmed, people dying, job losses, new cases every day. Everything is disrupted. Routines haywire. Lives upended. No end in sight. We are in the middle of a massive storm. Yet it is at thisContinue reading “He Will Come And Save You”
Let’s go Home!
Elizabeth Gilbert: Success, failure and the driveā¦: http://youtu.be/_waBFUg_oT8 The key to keep going is to come home. Home is not a physical abode but the single thing that one loves more than anything else in the world. It is this deep passion, the calling, that makes one pushing the limits beyond the boundaries he canContinue reading “Let’s go Home!”
Just One Thing
I’m thinking about my life; my life direction to be exact. A half-time review for the balance 10 or so more of my productive working years. As I took stock of my commitments, my ‘want to dos’ and my ‘wish to haves’, I lament at the lack of time and resources. When the rubber hitsContinue reading “Just One Thing”
You’re Amazing (True Worshippers)
This is a season of extreme challenges. All things seem to fall apart, and my faith is constantly being stretched. Yet the most amazing thing is each time I feel that I have no more to give, no more faith to pour out….there will ALWAYS be more energy, more faith, and move love. This songContinue reading “You’re Amazing (True Worshippers)”

The Courage to Love åę¢å»ē±
How can anyone love in the sight of extreme evil? How can anyone be willing to associate in love in presence of all the ugliness and brokenness? Everyone wants to associate themselves with the successful, and shun those who failed and condemned. Even the best of friends or the closest of family would opt forContinue reading “The Courage to Love åę¢å»ē±”
I Will Not Fly Alone
Recently I had felt life weighing upon me. Each day is filled with problems, challenges, roadblocks. Each turn is faced with new issues, new developments. How can anyone face all these? How can anyone bear all these?!! My above lamentation is generally frowned upon in society today – East and West. Any admission of lamentContinue reading “I Will Not Fly Alone”
