Facebook bans to be lifted?

Facebook usage in the office has always been a point of contention. Employers want to tap into the next frontier to expand their business but is wary of the impact on productivity and also confidentiality of data. Employees on the other hand think they should be entitled to have their social lives in the workplace.

A light bulb lighted in my mind this morning to write the following fictional internal news for a company.

Names are purely fictional and any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

From Witchdoctor to Apostle of Christ

Rev Dr Paul Ai, 11/04/2010
Scripture reading: Act 26;12-18

Rev Dr Paul Ai’s grandfather was a medical doctor and his father was a mayor of a city. They wanted him to be a person who doesn’t love the world as they are. They send him to be a Buddhist monk. He sought power from witch doctors. He later encounter Christ. His wife, Ruth was a school teacher. When she was given directions to only teach evolution”, she stopped teaching. Paul has been in prison many times. Together, they were stopped from preaching the Gospel in Vietnam and they received political asylum from US.

“Fasting and prayer has a powerful effect in the spiritual realm that most Christians don’t realize. If Christians realize this they will not treat them so lightly.”  From Witchdoctor to Apostle of Christ, Rev Dr. Paul Ai.

Present Joy and Future Hope

Senior Pastor Dr Daniel Ho, 04/04/2010
An English preacher went to US to preach. He said everyone has a but. It’s very easy to see other people’s buts. It’s very hard for us to see our own buts.


A 12-year old boy was walking along with a bird cage, whistling. A man saw him and asked him what he had. The boy said he had birds, a sparrows. He said he was going to tease the two birds. After that if they survived, he’d give them to his cat. If they survived even that, he’d cook them. The man offered to purchased them for USD100. The boy said it was too much. The man paid anyway because he was concerned for the birds. He got the birds along with the cage and let them go.

The text is Lk 24:13-35.

Was God a volcano?

Jesse told me about this video on YouTube. We always share good stuff we found. But he hasn’t checked out the Accounting 101 I told him in YouTube EDU. FYI, his Accounting Principles class in school clashes with his Biology class. He has to study Accounting on his own. I am trying to help him.

If you are wondering what YouTube EDU is, it’s a project to put up lessons for learning. In 1 year, there are already 300 universities involved. Kudos to YouTube and of course Google.

Back to the video in question, a person by the name of Thunderf00t quoted some texts from the Bible which he took as evidences that the god that Moses encountered was really a volcano.

However, this is not a new idea. Sigmund Freud put up this idea in his book earlier.

Take it for what’s it worth but we as Christians are bound to meet people showing us ‘proofs’ that our belief is wrong. We really need to have a strong foundation in the Word.

The Disciples and the Storm

Transforming Encounters with Jesus in Mark’s Gospel
Pastor Chris Kam, 28/03/2010
Pastor Chris shared a hymn which he thought encompasses the Gospel very well.
Living he loved me, dying He saved me
Buried he carried my sins faraway
Rising he justified freely forever
One day he’s coming O glorious day
