Dusting off this blog

Dust off a book

Share post ->

I have been blogging since 2005. That’s almost 20 years! Though not very consistent.

What started with a triathlon blog turned into a Christian blog. And I stopped blogging in 2011 after I came to Singapore.

These days, I’ve shared most of my thoughts on social media (Facebook, Instagram and TikTok). But one thing I don’t like about those platforms is that:

  1. It is limiting in nature. You can go deep into a topic.
  2. Tendency to worry about what others think – every time I post, I will check if anyone likes it or comments. This obsession is not healthy. At the same time, I feel like I am performing instead of being myself.

So, we get back to this blog. Right now, the blog design, layout and structure are a mess. Sorry if you are reading this. But I am working on cleaning the site up.

I also want to blog more because this is my space on the Internet where I can share how I feel without worrying what others will say. Haha, I know others will still read it. But internally, I am less conscious.

Blogging more will be my goal for 2024. I won’t come to a point where I don’t care whether people see it or not as long as I am true to myself and it honours God.

The Church’s Blind Spot: Why Character Matters More Than Talent

Writing this post is difficult so that I will lay it out there. I am worried some people may think I am judgmental or imply I am talking about someone. As I don’t want to point fingers at specific people, I aim to keep this post as neutral as possible.

Ministry Is Not a Marathon—Unless You Run It Right

The title is a handful. I often hear preachers compare ministry to running a marathon, not a 200-meter sprint. You have to look at your spiritual life for the long run. You have to be persistent, disciplined and persevere. As someone who ran a few marathons, I often don’t get
