some stuff from the book "don't waste your life" by john piper ...

talking about glorifying God. we want to magnify him. 2 ways of magnifying.
magnifying like a microscope : make smtg tiny look bigger than it is
magnifying like a telescope : make smtg unimaginably great look like what it really is. Magnifying God like that is worship.

"we do not use the word "cool" to describe true greatness. it's a small word. it's cheap. and that's what millions of young people live for." (uh huh)





i can't find my worship notes from "enter the worship circle" on my yellow pieces of paper :/
where are you, notes?

one day one day one day oneday onedayone dayone dayoneday onedayonedayonedayone dayonedayonedaymyoneday.




you know, just now, i was reading in the room of mom's salon. then this song played on 90.5FM - the Lord's prayer, to the tune of auld la? syne. it was like a march. and i just had to stand up tall and straight on the chair and look out the window, upwars, in respect. i sung it like it was a pledge, my right arm across my chest, hands clenched. proud.

our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name


ok it's not a pledge. it's a prayer. but anyway,

:)







When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean living."
I'm whispering "I was lost,"
Now I'm found and forgiven.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need CHRIST to be my guide.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
and need HIS strength to carry on.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
but,God believes I am worth it.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain,
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
who received God's grace somehow

What's in the air - allergies and obesity

Gluten free . Coeliac . It was when I came to Australia that I first heard those words. And then I kept hearing it, and hearing it. People who have coeliac, or celiac, have immune systems which don't react well to gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, barley and oats. Many restaurants here cater to people who require a gluten free diet because it is that common. Over time, I started hearing about more people with different allergies. A story of a kid who can't have nuts or peanut butter, another story of a kid who can't have nuts, dairy, gluten and some other stuff, and schools which decide to ban things like peanut butter and nuts altogether because some kids have allergies so bad that if you touched peanut butter then touched the kid, the kid would go into anaphylaxis. This is serious and can be threatening. This happens every Spring here – everyone talks about hay fever. Of course people in Singapore have allergies – nut allergies, shellfish aller...
