Visitations

Yesterday, it is a funeral. Today, it is a hospital visit. And tomorrow and the next two day, I will be visiting the homebound. I often speak little, preferring to observe and let those in suffering speak of their faith to me. I think they are actually praying to God through me.

"Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few. Ecc 5:2"

On Contentment

On of the key themes of Ecclesiastes is contentment. To enjoy the gift of life that is from God.

It is said that enjoyment of life can only come about when you have enough to stop worrying about all the difficulties of life. If you are struggling, how can you possibly think about enjoying life?

I believe the secret lies in contentment. Until men understand the importance of thanksgiving, they will never have enough.

An Eye for an Eye

I just preached at another church for Synod Sunday.

They got me to preach on Romans 9. Which is not only tough because of its controversial issues, but also on its intended audience which is the Jews.

Well, I made a public declaration that the next time the pastors there come over, they are doing something from Revelations. That'll teach them. Yeah!

My Usual Routine

Super busy day. And I decide to do the thing that is the least relevant to my urgent matters.

I guess you can call me a procrastination purist.
