Deck.
I’m back from a reflective mission trip from Thailand. It was quite a whirlwind of activities, and I’m only greeted with more when I’m back. Doesn’t help that I’m trying to catch up on my rest and am on the brink of falling sick, bleh. Anyhow, I wish all a very blessed Christmas! +)
This year’s sermon at Church pointed out that Christ’s birth actually holds much more meaning than simply a ’saviour coming down to earth’ — He, God, being a foetus in a mere mortal’s womb. A weak and helpless child that was subjected to the harshness of the earth, when He could have easily made a grand entrance as King and force us to become His slaves. But He chose to become man to be a servant, friend, teacher and saviour to mankind. A human of compassion and emotions, yet He remained in the Father and was sinless.
Awesome!
Quick updates:
- My band is playing for the final Stasis gig, Stasis10. We’re the first band at 2pm. Like most of the other Stasis gigs, this gig has some respectable bands playing (B-Quartet!), so do come! Pre-sale tickets are at $12. At-the-door, $20. More details on ticketing here. Also, a quick interview on the band for the Stasis gig by Kevin Mathews.
We are also one of the 30 bands pre-selected for Baybeats 2008 auditions. Hopefully we’ll get to play in Singapore’s largest Indie festival next year… =]
- I’m amazed at how easily I took it. Amazed at the virtually zero malice I felt, as compared to that of a couple of years ago. Or am I still as naive as before? Childlike, childlike. I’ll have to be really look to God for strength, that’s for sure. Total reconciliation is not in place yet, and that’s still slight signs of the situation being otherwise. Let’s see how it goes.
- Christmas musical at Adam’s church was really quite a professional piece. Thank God for the many new believers that night. My church’s concert was quite a fresh breath of air too, and Rev Yap’s sermon was uh, hard-hitting — on the ears. Hah. But it was a meaningful one too.
