Running barefoot? Training has been going fairly well. Been pretty busy lately. Getting things ready for the transplant games. Hospital lost some of my blood work data and I have to redo my blood work again. Little stuff. Anyways, last week I was doing my strides. I was thinking and feeling how awesome running barefoot is. In the transplant games, I signed up for the track and field distance...

A email I sent to a friend….it is actually based on a blog posted at Challies.com … Uzzah was touched the ark of the covenant before it falls. God struck him down instantly. The author quoted…Consider now the story of Uzzah. The ark of the covenant was being carried in a cart. This was not the way it was designed to be carried. It should have been on the shoulders of priests...

A while back when I first going to church and fellowship, I had a beer over two friends. One of them was particular close as I know him since grade 4. Bonds like that are rare. We were all working for a number of years and we discuss our ethics and attitudes toward work. The discussion quickly become what’s the best way to kiss up to the boss and do what you can to get ahead (backstab)...

Checking in… Hey all, A week come and gone. I want to say thanks for everyone’s post about my pinky toe. After a lot of icing and some ibuprofen, by Monday I was out and about. My running legs are coming back. On the other hand, in the past few days, I have been waking up with a cough. My weekend was a lot of down time. Lots of naps, breaks and in general lazy around. On Sat, I went...

A post from Challies.com on technology. I ponder about the same thing. Technology can keep us busy. This busy-ness can also take control of our lives. As I am getting more wired to the world, I also realize the need to de-wired. For me, there are certain run or bike ride where I go with no technology. That’s when I feel closest to God. With no cell phone. With no internet.With no instant...

I have been in numerous conversations with other brothers and sisters in Christ. With my random thoughts, everything under sun is discussed and ideas bounce around. Talk about relationships, fellowship (fellowship…and more fellowship), Bible study, theology, programs… I feel there is something missing. I can’t put my hands on it but I can feel there is something lacking. When I...

Picked this up from Boundless line. “I have read that if a child comes to Christ, 12% of the time the whole family will follow,” Sawyers says. “If the mom comes, there’s a 15% chance the family will. But if the man comes to church, 90% of the time the family will come along behind.” I wonder if the man chooses not to go to church, will it have the same impact to his...

A gmail chat with a friend (with his permission)…I try to keep the log original as possible. As such, it might be hard to read. —– Friend: well, it’s an interesting phenomenon in the western culture. me: he was saying…..yapping about theology..might not be useful..as at the end there might be more confusionand divides ppl..u have ur point of view..and i have mine...

It is 11 at night and lightning is rolling through the sky. It was pouring earlier…. I was listening to this song on the way back home….the more indifferent we try to be..the more similair we are. We all need grace. We all need to believe in something. Yet, where we search are often in places where grace is missing. Like the bottom of a bottle or superficial goods that keep us thirsty...
