Thanks to my mum for her old camera (but new camera)!

Some random photos I took over the last few weeks. Thought it time to upload to de-stress ...

My first experimental batch of baked golden potatoes. Looks messy but tastes  delightful

First night of the June Greg Laurie Rally in Auckland

First night at the Greg Laurie Rally - 30 minutes before the start. over 2,000 people
had to be turned away due to the massive crowd (and it was raining cats and dogs too.
I arrived 2.5 hours before  the start to report for duty and it took me over an hour to get in.
I was soaked standing in the rain

2nd attempt at making muffins, This time I had the sense to use cup cake paper in my  baking tray.
But it still turned out looking horrible. Taste was good though :-)

My first try at making siew pau. Looks decent and was actually tasty
BUT it did not taste like siew pau at all. Texture all wrong.
But since it was tasty, no complaints :-)

Cut one of my siew pau through the middle in my "food autopsy" to  try to figure out what went wrong :-)

My first attempt at making tau foo fah, or was this my soya bean milk drink?
Can;t remember now but clearly from the picture the the tau foo fah was a dismal failure. :-(

Forgiving the Church (Henri Nouwen)

-
Had to post this up! Another gem from Henri Nouwen that is so relevant for today! I have highlighted in red what especially resonates with me as it has bothered me for years that there is a fast growing number of Christians who think they can have Christ without the church. Then back to work. I have finalized my magic routine fro this Sunday - now just need to practice and coordinate with "the Weeman" so our acts flow smoothly from one to the other. Forgiving the Church When we have been wounded by the Church, our temptation is to reject it. But when we reject the Church it becomes very hard for us to keep in touch with the living Christ. When we say, "I love Jesus, but I hate the Church," we end up losing not only the Church but Jesus too. The challenge is to forgive the Church. This challenge is especially great because the Church seldom asks us for forgiveness, at least not officially. But the Church as an often fallible human organization needs our forgiven...

The Ideal / Perfect pastor

The Ideal / Perfect Pastor .... from various sources :-) I had better not add my own lest it be misunderstood. LOL The Perfect Pastor The perfect pastor preaches exactly 10 minutes. He condemns sin roundly but never hurts anyone’s feelings. He works from 8am until midnight and is also the church janitor. The perfect pastor makes $40 a week, wears good clothes, drives a good car, buys good books, and donates $30 a week to the church. He is 29 years old and has 40 years experience. Above all, he is handsome. The perfect pastor has a burning desire to work with teenagers, and he spends most of his time with the senior citizens. He smiles all the time with a straight face because he has a sense of humor that keeps him seriously dedicated to his church. He makes 15 home visits a day and is always in his office to be handy when needed. The perfect pastor always has time for church council and all of its committees. He never misses the meeting of any church organizat...

Geoffrey Woo Ramblings

It was nice to reconnect with Geoffrey via Facebook (Yes FB has it's positives) earlier this year. I first met him more than 25 years ago! And I got to know him and his heart when we served together in a special SU Camp. That was the year too I first got to know my good friend Allan Yong. Allan Yong became an inspiration for me (a good role model of a man of God on fire for God ... and he still is) especially in the area of youth work (but that is another story) Anyway Geoff (now may be known as Geo?) made a big impression on me as well. Down to earth and to me a bit of an "eccentric"! A "greenie" before being green was "an in-thing". He would cycle practically everywhere on his bike, often turning up sweaty! :-) But he had a passion for Jesus that was very evident (and I hear that this passion has not waned but has kept growing! Praise God!) One major thing I picked up from him that still has remained as a huge impression on me was his deep sense ...
