(Still) Alive and Kicking!

Good evening, friends of Ranger-land. This is your friend speaking...:)

Well, even as I woke up today...I thank God for another day he's given to me. Everyday, many people experience those 'moments' that will change the way they see life. Change the way they perceive things, the way we view every passing day, the way we take life for granted (literally), and the way we live our lives as though it's ours for the keeping! But I (almost) found out otherwise...

Yesterday was one of those 'moments' for me...where our fragile life was so easily exposed and made me think what could have happened. Things could have gotten very very bad for me...but nevertheless, even as I'm here writing this and you're there sitting and reading this, I thank God for a second chance...a second chance to make things right, second chance to make a difference, and a second chance at life. In my moment of desperation, I called...He answered. And He came to my rescue...Truly, a God of second chances. That's my God.

We're now into the 4th day of school holidays, and I've been listening to some of the rangers share their stories of the week. Most have been lazing around, catching up with the latest movies in the cinemas, gaming, FB-ing, but there's also a group of you busy studying! That's awesome!! Keep it up ok? Remember, no one ever died because of hardwork and studying hard! :) I pray that all your hours of labour and toiling with the books will pay off handsomely in the end! And just a word of advice...dont even try studying with your PC next to you! Turn off that evil thing! Haha...

And yes, we have another baby in town this very day! Yeap...she's 17, looking as sweet as ever, and most importantly, she loves Jesus! Amen to that, sister! Friends and foes, with one voice...let's belt out our very own rendition of the song 'Happy Birthday' to our dear friend, Miss Low Lee Yee aka Angel Low!! Many many many happy returns of the day and hope you're having a smashing day so far (with your SPM books!). Yup, go ahead and smash it on the floor...or on your head :) God bless!!



The Birthday Girl - 21st Aug 2008 --> Low Lee Yee!

Well friends...just a final request from all of you. Do constantly PRAY for the political situation in our nation. Somehow, things havent really settled down...and I can assure you that there's lots more drama that's yet to unfold. Expect more 'treats', sitcom moments and 'sandiwara' over the next couple of days leading up to the Pau Challenge in Permatang Pauh. :)

The church has always remained neutral when it comes to our political preference. Over the course of history, in a communist regime...the church existed. Under a socialist govt, the church continued to exist. So it doesn't matter if its a Democratic or Autocratic government, the church will and must continue to exist...and most importantly, to PRAY for our nation! As a Christian, we must always pray for our leaders and government. This is scriptural. So, if you want to see changes in our land...it begins with prayer. It begins with us...the Christians. Do your part for this nation, and let's continue to lift high the name of Jesus in this land we call home!

God bless and looking forward to another fantastic (and kau-kau busy) weekend with each and everyone of you!

And oh...ER and commanders, do keep the 1st of Sept free yea? We've got a lil' adventure of our own...:) Check your email for more details!

I'm outta' here...
