INDESCRIBABLE! See for yourself. Visit TAIPING!

KANGAROOS IN FULL VIEW

November 23, 2010

Once thought to only exist in Australia, we now know better. In fact, even in Australia, these unique animals are more easily spoken about than viewed. In the sixties when on my first visit to that country, I was on the farm outside Perth and my hosts felt it their bounden duty to show this […]

THE GUEST WHO SETS YOUR HOUSE ON FIRE

November 15, 2010

9

He was welcomed into the house in the hope that like most others who crossed the treshold of your home he would be part of the family. You treated him not as a guest but a family member. He had family rights. You gave him big roles to play within the family. Not token or […]

THE THING ABOUT VIEWPOINTS

November 7, 2010

1

As I read a sports commentary on England vs NZ All-Blacks, it becomes quite clear how the view from an onlooker looking down from his seat in the terraces of Twickenham Stadium and that of a player on the field is really very different. “…a fast flat pass left from Youngs then put Mike Tindall […]

IS WAYNE ROONEY NOW PLAYING IN PKR?

October 23, 2010

2

I am into rugby more than football- more goals, action, spills and thrills. But whatever sports you may fancy, these days you will no doubt know that WR is the fellow who used to score a lot of goals for Mancester United but his goal-scoring days seem to have frozened up for quite some time […]

June 20, 2010

Christians march to the tune of Christ. Where He sends, we will go. This was a lesson learned and executed by the paralytic whom Christ healed in Matthew 9.6,7: …he then said to the paralytic–“rise, take up your bed and go home.” And he rose and went home. In our periodic missionary fervour, we often […]

WHY DOES A CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?

April 21, 2010

2

The short answer to that is “To get to the other side.” However, since chickens aren’t as simple-minded as they may seem to be, it may be necessary to ask a further question: “Why does the chicken feel it needs to go to the other side?” or “What does the chicken hope to find on […]

THE TABLE IS BIGGER THAN THE GUN

August 5, 2009

2

It is our hope as human beings that somehow in our fractured, tortured and mixed up world the negotiating table will eventually prove to be more potent and successful than instruments of destruction and violence. Of all the extraordinary images we have been shown these past days was the enormous table at which a retired […]

THE PARABLE OF THE RAIN TREE – a personal experience

March 4, 2009

14

  While some watch birds, I have always preferred trees myself. The best break I ever have always involves sitting where my eyes can behold the wonders of trees, unfailingly and truly a sight for my tired eyes, mind and heart. Coming from Taiping, my favourite tree is the raintree, tall and sprawling. At the […]

“INSPIRATIONS” FROM PERAK

February 7, 2009

“BLESSED” ARE THOSE IN PERAK WITH BACKACHE for they will find relief in Pahang. “BLESSED” ARE THOSE WHO GO MISSING for they shall return with more of what they desire for themselves. “BLESSED” ARE THOSE WHO BELONG TO TWO PARTIES for one or the other will surely be in power. “BLESSED” ARE THOSE WHO SIGN […]
