Thoughts

Yup came back from Sungai Buloh in one piece. :)

Joi Chua is in the air:), it's a beautiful hot sunny Sunday afternoon. The wind is blowing, the white clouds float in the blue sky. The green plants sway, some birds are singing. Had a great JFN, do pray that as God searches and waits for us sinners to come back to him, we will (Luke 15). I'm supposed to be sleeping, resting, before I head out....for WOMAD.

Anyway, here are some thoughts from SB:

- again I'm greatly encouraged by the love for God by the elderly saints of SB (they are like in their 50s and 60s)...to see them serve God, love His people, and their humbleness to learn from someone who is half their age! We spend like from 9+am till 5+pm studying and discussing Mark's Gospel. One of the guys had BSF at 6:30am!

- when I arrived on Fri night, had a good 1-1 time with WP, probably in his 50s or 60s. As we ate hokkien mee (famous in KL), it rained...rather heavily....good....considering the haze and low water levels in the damps of KL.

- when we arrived at his home, after shower, I went downstairs and tv was on in the living room, CNN was on. News...about Iraq.....yes they will have a hard time getting the constitution for the country to be agreed by the 3 main groups ie the Sunnis (small in numbers but powerful), were in power before the US came, then we have the Shiites (big in numbers....the other form of Islam from Iran (west of Iraq), then we have the Kurds which Sadam had killed many of them (found mainly north of Iraq near Turkey). Yeah read that the US will probably have to be there for any 4 years! Wah.....makes me look forward to the day this will be resolved....or would it?

This news also made me think about the recent news of the West Bank...the Gaza strip...yeah the Israelites are pulling from the Palestinian area (descendents of the Philistines). And there was a recent article...good one....I think it was on Wed/Thurs straits times.

- at the bus stop while i was in the bus, waiting for it to depart to S'pore, there was a couple...in quite an embrace....as it finding it so hard to say goodbye....ah...what love ..... :)

- in the journey back....one of the movies I watched was Frequency....which I had already watched....anyway....it's really a good one for fathers and sons to watch...it 'touched' me ....really makes me feel like wanting to call my dad and spend the day with him :) right Chief (wink).

- oh and the 2nd Malaysian Idol competition is on....down to about 6 contestants.

- ok all in all, I thank you Lord for a fruitful trip. It's always great to serve you, and to be used by you to be servants in your work. What a privilege!!!

Enjoying God, ron.....oh and now to some world music.......(WOMAD).
