Lessons for ENG8 in God-ing :)
I am an ENG8w7. There is a little bit too much sin, condemnation and judgement in the text for me but the description is spot on. I also like the Bible examples. Steve Job was an ENG1 not an Eng8. There is quite a bit of resemblance. Both ENG1 and ENG8 are in the instinct […]

Advent Week 3 – Joy
I have struggled with writing about ‘joy’. I have not experienced much of it lately, neither do I – I realized – understand the word itself. I understand what ‘hope’ and ‘peace’ means to me. I know how I feel when I am with them. Somehow, I am not sure what ‘joy’ is really like. […]

To serve or not to serve
The boy killed himself in the church yard. The pastor talks about the society we, adults, have created for our children. A society that compares and judges. A society that must have ‘the best’ and everything else is mediocre or disappointing. The 15-year-old boy killed himself in the centre church’s yard broad daylight. NOBODY NOTICED […]
A time for rejuvenation
This morning I was reading an article on Ramadan. Ramadan started on 15 May 2018. Interestingly Christians observed Pentecost or Whit Sunday (Monday) on 20-21 May finishing the 50 day observation period since Easter, and Jews celebrated a week of Passover more or less at the same time. Both events are about connecting to Spirit […]

Abandonment

The Promise of Easter
This week the Christian Church observes the Via Dolorosa, Jesus’ last days and hours that are depicted in the 14 Stations. During this week, we walk the sorrowful way towards Resurrection in Easter. The origin of the stations are a bit hazy, some claims it originates from Mary, Jesus’ mother, some say that the stations […]

From Ashes to Ashes, from Dust to Dust

Preparing for Lent, Ash Wednesday

Epiphany in disguise
Yesterday, I was observing the epiphanies in my life. In the morning I had a lovely chat with my best friends discussing our New Year’s resolutions and how we envisage our life the next year.

My Easter Resurrection
