Was chatting with wifey just the other day about the topic of furthering of studies and we both came to a conclusion that both of us dislike the idea of going for more academic studies.Really admire those who work and study at the same time. However we want to learn things that we like or some life skills along the way. Things like keyboard, handyman, cooking etc... short, affordable courses from the cc. It will be good if we can learn together. Learning a new language will be pretty useful too... German anyone?

But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD. Joshua 24:15

Truth Telling

Was listening to Ps Jeff's sermon online during lunch yesterday. He spoke about the topic of truth telling. We need to be truth tellers and we need to take in the advise of truth tellers in our life so that we can be a better disciple and disciple maker in the kingdom of God. The most important point about truth telling?...
it needs to be done with LOVE. If we are correcting somebody, always always check our intention and motives. Are we being self righteous and will our comment/remark tear the person down??? Truth telling MUST always be done with the intention of helping the other party cover his blind spot and to build him/her up. Something he quoted really sums up this point beautifully.. " we do not want uncritical lovers and we certainly do not need unloving critics " If we care , we will tell someone the truth which he or she cannot see... lovingly.

Nike Tiempo Mystic III FG (Performance)
Wifey bought me this pair of boots, after my old pair gave way last week playing against the JEDI. Bought it at Queensway Weston after much deliberation. Tried numerous pairs Addidas Predator X, Nike T90 Strike III FG amongst them. Finally decided on this pair because it is the most comfortable and the least flamboyant. I still like my boots in plain, simple design.. haha..Just like the wearer..Thank you wifey, i absolutely love my advance birthday present . ;o)
