Sing me a sad song
Sing me the sad song, but I’ll focus on finding hope in the sadness in the hopelessness of life. A reminder of my nothingness, but finding joy in the midst of it all. I’m melancholic at heart, but unforgiving and willing to go on in life. Ironically, sometimes I find comfort in the sadness of
Not far from the Kingdom
Not far isn’t sufficient. It is not reaching the goal nor finishing well. Yet it also means one is in the race or gaining momentum towards something worthy. Sometimes faith is just trusting the process, even if we can’t feel it. Faith is beyond the knowledge, understanding, and wisdom of this world. Thus, it appears
Baruch Hashem Adonai
It is in my prerogative, as a created being in the image of Adonai, to praise the Lord as much as he deserves, at first. The fall of mankind cleft my heart to mend my broken relationship with him. My journey has so far not been so smooth, yet in the sharp edges of pain
I got spammed
One fine morning I was deleting all the spam messages and emails. I even unsubscribe many of the unsolicited and irrelevant emails to me. Some were almost as promising and attractive to delete without a second look. I hate being spammed all the way. It took a huge chunk of my time dealing with them.

There were more than ten thousand reasons to praise the Lord. This realization hit me hard the other day. I thank the Lord as I’m alone in my sitting room. It brought tears of joy as I knelt in reflection on the journey of my life. Each twist and turn was a moment of blessing
Handing down our faith
I was in my late teens already when I had the privilege to stand before the chalkboard as a primary school teacher. The chalkboard was my friend and a tool for me to hand down my knowledge in the simplest manner for the young minds to grasp the subject I am teaching. Those days with
Seasons under the Sun
As long as the sun is shining, seasons come and go. And, as long as the sun rises, I’m inching closer to my destination. According to our taste and emotional cycle, we tend to have attachments or favorites as the season changes. The memories of some season, whether good or bad, linger in our hearts.
Concord Bible to Degree
‘From my father’s Concord Bible to Degree in Divinity’ would be a suitable title that I had in my mind. It’s been a long time now that I can no longer recall the edition or the exact year of publication. My late father’s Bible Concordance features good maps, topical references, and the context of the
anxious moments
Their short vacation was nearing an end this summer. We took our young ones out to lift their mood by visiting a movie theater and the nearby restaurants. I get anxious very easily, not a thing to boast about, and I intended to hide this side of me. It’s often caused by a disorder that
