sunday - no actually it should be saturday but oh well who cares?

Posted August 10, 2008

i was brooding over what an anecdote that someone had shared with me quite a while back. it was about a mutual frend who had blurted out his surprise at finding out that one of their classmates was a Christian. at that popint in time, i was a tad stunned at the fella's audacity, and furthermore i was forced to think about how we who proclaim the LORD's name may actually be doing it in vain. how indeed we should be 'beacons of truth and light'. haha. but i digress. in the recent observation of the people around me, i am actually sad to say that truly, if i did no know that the person in question was a Christian, i would have immediately deemed the person as strictly secular and that was that. i try not to judge, but it sometimes does come as a surprise. i seldom form impressions of people at all, but if your behaviour invokes such a reaction, then, is there anything left to say? the way you act, the things you say, the language that you use. at the risk of sounding cliched (oh! just did), are you reflecting God?

man the national day parade totally pales in comparison when put beside the olympics.
