blogging addict
August 29th, 2005
IT FELT GOOD to end my “mourning”. I was concerned that my teenage children were right when they remarked that I was getting addicted to blogging. So I did a 7 day “blog-fast “. I found I had to resist surprisingly persistent urges to yield to its pleasures. It kept knocking on the door of my desires. More than once I thought of abandoning the” fast”. But my dignity was involved as I had already told Josh and Matthew of my intention.With time though, the loud knocks weakened and faded and I was reassured of God’s grace in this area. I wonder though if I can last 2 weeks without blogging.( I will try it if Arsenal loses to Chelsea again!) I also wonder, if I had been into on-line gaming, would I be able to successfully resist its alluring pull? I think it is tough to be a teenage guy nowadays, with all these absorbing entertainment options.
IT IS NOT EASY to communicate to children, youth and adults all together in the main service but I thought Abe Sim did a creditable job of it . Now we will never forget the trick candles that would relit after being blown off! What an apt and neat illustration of death and eternal life. (We should keep a few boxes of those candles for funeral services.) And I must salute the boldness, creativity, and faithfulness of all the teachers and helpers, both past and present, for their work in the Lord who commanded us to, “Feed My lambs (young ones)”.
BUT SURELY THE HIGHEST ACCOLADE goes to Whose-son. In his sermon, Abe reminded us of the themes of the Gospel of John series chapter by chapter. Chapter 1, Jesus revealed as SON OF GOD. Amen. Chapter 2, Jesus revealed as SON OF MAN. All nodded. Chapter 3, what was Jesus revealed as? Adults scratch their heads. However a brave GNK boy quickly called out aloud “SON OF WOMAN!”. Everyone laughed out loud…. profound comic relief. There is hope for our education system. The younger ones are speaking up! Hope that whose-son did not get whacked by parents or teachers for not giving the model answer.He should have been given a present on the spot! ha ha.
