post MEET-ing [tm]
we have come away with several nuggets of wisdom. On knees.
1. Pearlyn says that red knees are sexy.
2. Pearlyn also says that knees turn red when they are shy.
3. Pearlyn told us her knees were red because they were blushing.

me thoughts and the upcoming escapade
Missions Education & Exposure Training. That what MEET is. 9 month long missions training program under FES. A bunch of enjoyable thought provoking lectures where you won't fall asleep (we hope) and a bunch of everlasting team meetings where you come away saying i don't know. Where you learn to love God for His awesome-ness more, love people more. Where you challenge yourself to go beyond. Where you make friends and new family members. Where you meet a mentor and learn alot, and share alot. And laugh alot. After all that. You go on a month long trip to XXXX land (we go to philippines) and learn how to wring a neck (we hope not). Where you learn to live out the life of Christ, where you learn to love and be patient, and humble as He was. Where you get your perspectives widened. Where you take steps into the unknown, that will shape your life in Christ. Where you tap into the Spirit's power to see you through. Where you see lives marked by Him. Where your heart bows down before God, the Maker of Heaven and earth. Then you come back and pray and talk lots to God.
That is. In Summary. What MEET is.
Now. WRT to sharing Christ. Remember previous post. I asked you all go do homework.
The presence and manner of the messenger must be consonant with the message.
The truth is perhaps that we bring a message of great irony. A message perhaps thwarted by man's wisdom centuries past that we struggle to live it out. Holier than Thou? Uppity? I say. Absolute humility. Been reading Paul's letter to the Corinthians. Where the Gospel message fell this short of being insane. A God who humbled Himself, where everyone wants to be the best. Where great orators are sought after is Paul, a man who declares that he speaks only by God's power and wisdom.
All in all, a misfit.
I kinda think in where we are today. People believe in themselves. Pride is taken in being right and having found the best solution and the best route -hence the holy huddle, and holier-than-thou-thou-and-thou mentality. So. What can we do?
An apology to those we've offended in years past will help. I have realised what a scum I was a few years ago. You know, take that step in living out humility of Christ that the Gospels so depict. It is but one aspect of a multi-myriad-ed world of God's, but it is a step. You never know what that can do.
Post trip time will be time to make ammendments for past errors, where wonderful people fly home for summer hols, from exotic Florence, Michigan, New York, London and Dublin.
It seems MEET teaches you to coin new words too. Or perhaps, it is just the phirocking team that coins words.
Toodeloos.

I Smell A Jinx
Hello.
Eh I can't balance T-shirts but I can count k?
Anyway, I unknowingly claimed two blogs cos I unknowingly linked an old account to this one and conveniently forgot that the password is "a--m--a--s---". Tsk, so complicated.
But you all can read the two if you want, in your boredom days. One's just my time time in Thailand, and the other one's dysfunctional that my church cg (and other included individuals) tried to use.
But anyway. Main point is that. I had a nice emo-moment today. I was driving off somewhere from Loyang Point and I thought, "Man, to be young is like the time of your life!" and then I thought "I'm glad I can remember my Creator in the days of my youth." (and you know, have an anchor in life). What better way to spend the time of your life with your Creator. Thought is was a super-cool thought. It's one of those ka-ching moments when you realise once again how cool God is :)
Ecc 12:1 Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, while the evil days do not come, nor the years draw near, when you shall say, I have no pleasure in them.
Ecc 12:11 The words of the wise are like goads; yes, their collected words are like nails driven home; they are given from one Shepherd.
Ecc 12:12 And further, by these, my son, be warned: The making of many books has no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter. Fear God, and keep His commandments. For this is the whole duty of man.
Ecc 12:14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it is good, or whether evil.
Being nice makes one healthier. Cheerios mates!

the tragedy of a life shunned by technology.
on a random note, I can't stand how my phone dies punctually by 6 in the afternoon, even when it's always charged at night. My phone has a lifespan of all of... eight hours. How awesome is that.
and then when I was carrying my yet-to-be-named laptop around school a coupe of weeks ago, I somehow cracked its hinges [poor baby] so that now it flops around like a dead fish. sigh. gadgets hate me. guys in pink shirts hate me. ):
and now I have to kian thay. =/
phone/laptop, anyone.

"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still."
Exodus 12: The Passover
i was reading the chunk on the Passover, the exodus and the crossing of the red sea, i cannot really explain how amazed i am now. i can picture the awesomeness of our Lord in telling Moses and the Israelites all these, that the Egyptians shall tremble at the sight of His works. that they shall noe that He is the Lord. imagine the fear, the look on the face of Pharoah's officers and army, when they see the waves of the Red sea covering over them. imagine the shock that the entire country of Egypt mus have been reeling from when the Lord struck down all their first-borns. What is there to fear if this same God of Israel is the very same God we worship. is there a need for me to say more? Be still. The presence of the Holy one of Israel is all around.
