Reflection on nervousness and anxiety
The following video was taken back in 2006 on my second Half Ironman. Before every race, I had a set of rountine. Taken by my friend, Jenny Cheung. One of them involve being quiet and reflect on the preparation leading up to a race. No matter how many triathlons I done, long or short distance, […]
Parable of the Sower: Tilling the soil
Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil […]
Mission Trip Open Letter
Just finish preparing all the info package for the mission trip I will be leading in August (Toronto City Mission’s St James Town Sonshine Day Camp). As I pour over the info, the plan, the logistics, I cannot help but to feel overwhelm. There is simply so much info and so much to consider. I […]
Blame, Forgiveness, Reconciliation….

Hagar Aftercare

A short get away
The past weekend I flew and visited my previous English Pastor, Nelson. He and I both started going to MCAC (Mississauga Chinese Alliance Church) together back in 2004. At the time, the church was launching a program on studying Purpose Driven Life. My friend invited me to a fellowship. I wasn’t a Christian then. My […]
