The book that Teck Horng & Weeming has given to me for my baptism Saturday, January 21, 2006 Zhng My Blog!i m officially sick of my blog design. need an overhaul. any aspiring web designers who can help me?? personally i like minimalistic designs and subtle colours..sth like this is what i want http://qwertyler.blogspot.com/ Friday, January 20, 2006 1981: Eric was born1988:Enters primary school 1990: Got to know the Lord through Boys' Brigade 1994: Enters secondary school and backslided 1995: Got acquainted with Teck Horng 1998: Enters JC 2000: Conscripted early 2002: Released late 2002: Enters NUS 2003: Got accepted into Eusoff Hall and a second stab at Christendom 2004: Reacquainted with Teck Horng again and became his spiritual son 2004-present: Trials and tribulations Jan 2006: Baptized finally! Renamed Eric Paul Tuesday, January 17, 2006  Michelangelo's interpretation of Heavenimagining myself as a reader of this blog, i sometimes would think why this dude here has nothing to sensational to write about. where are the struggles, disappointments, bitchings, ramblings, lamentations, gossip, rumor-mongering, diatribes, sceptism, hurly-burly that are a mark of a blog with wide readership; one which inspires feelings of resonance in this downtrodden, wretched fallen world, or even prompt the reader to have misconstrued views of certain issues/persons, and worse still, feed the black dogs in voyeuristic individuals who like to peep in between the shower curtains to have a glimpse into the blogger's private cubicle. yeah yeah yeah, this blog is boring. but Eric, aka narcolepsy, writer of this blog, deliberately made it so. if you want raunchy stuff, razzmatazz, or raspberry swirls on your vanilla sky, this is not your 300-second heaven (but i pray that it reminds u of the existence of Heaven). which is easier? writin abt edifyin stuff or abt stuff that stumbles? i submit to everyone tt it is definitely easier to lambast than to rejoice. why? aye ask yrself that question, c'mon.. even Christians don't hav it easier in life, this lifetime. we trip over a stone and fall. we pick ourselves up and stumble yet again, over a bigger stone. "A stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall."[d] They stumble because they disobey the message - which is also what they were destined for. (1 Peter 2:5) but yet the scars from these falls aren't there to stumble us, to remind ourselves of existences "writ in water", in the words of John Keats. I believe the stones are sprinkled on the path to Heaven, for us to overcome. arming ourselves with this perspective is crucial to wagin the battle of our minds. the score reads Satan 1:0 God when we trip over these stones n never truly get up again. don't mistake me in thinking that we should always feel joyful in spite of all circumstances. it's even pretence and dishonesty on our part if we choose not to walk in truth. what i m drivin at is a sense of marred joy that comes from recognising the emotional pain, but at the same time knowing that when we pick up ourselves, we have emerged victors over the principalities that bind us down on our road to Heaven. We are hardpressed but not crushed. i'd end this entry off with this verse from 2 Cor 4:16-18. wala... 16Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Monday, January 16, 2006  Kings of Convenience in S'pore! Good: aye one of my fav acts is comin to town, albeit in Mar..16th to be exact. performing in the Mosaic Music Festival at Esplanade. see http://www.mosaicmusicfestival.com/ for details. Bad: oh well i can't go cos the G12 conference will be on. sigh. oh well oh well, it is well.
Sunday, January 01, 2006 Your mercy found me,Upon the broken road, And lifted me beyond my failing, Into Your glory, My sin and shame dissolved, And now forever Yours I will stand. In love never to end, To call You more than Lord, Glorious friend. So I throw my life upon all You are, Cos I know You gave it all for me, And when all else fades, My soul will dance with You, Where the love lasts forever. And forever I will sing, Lord forever I will sing, Of how You gave Your life away, Just to save me, Lord You saved me. With You, where the love lasts forever. |
