Gone fishing

Not that anyone would notice, but just to say I'm away from next Monday for the next 2 weeks. I'm on a summer mission team to an undisclosed location. Am having mixed feelings: looking forward to it but am also nervous at the same time! I'll be meeting students, and will also lead at least one devotional. I won't have much internet access, and even if I do, will definitely not be blogging.

Do pray for me. Maybe when I get back, I'll actually attempt to get back to semi-regular blogging again!

What I did

What's happened since my last post:

This blog turned 5! :-0

Organised and led a sort-of-evangelistic event (badly)!

Saw my parents.

Spent some time wrestling with Mark 2:1-12 for a preaching workshop, and then subsequently gave a 10-minute preach on the passage - first time I've preached from the gospels.

Read a few more books - will try to update the sidebar soon! Tim Tennent's thoughtful book on theological reflection in global Christianity was especially stimulating.

Got upset as I handled, with counsel from others, a tricky pastoral issue.

Realised that Sharon was ready to stone me if I didn't get in that article I promised her for church magazine soon, so blitzed it and sent it to her Thursday. Am now starting to wonder if i should actually try to get it published in a Malaysian Christian magazine...

Finally found a night to go to the cinema to watch Star Trek. :)

Conceded that Barcelona were the far superior team.

Went woohoo as Magic got into NBA Finals...you can do it!

Cleaned my room!
