synod games day coming up on the 31st may (saturday). This is organised by the synod youth ministry. concept is different this year. There wouldnt be any soccer matches (like every other year), but instead a sort of cyber amazing race. It sounds pretty bizarre when I first heard it, but yes it involves wit and a fair bit of direction sense I believe. apparently, clues are reveale with teams contacting each other via msn on their lappies with which i've no idea what connection maybe wireless@sg) Island-wide. some running. sounds great! pls signup with Denise now!shalom.
love, Denise.

Here's something to share.
A teenage girl about 17 had gone to visit
some friends one evening
and time passed quickly as each shared
their various experiences of the past year.
She ended up staying longer than planned,
and had to walk home alone.
She wasn't afraid because it was a small town
and she lived only a few blocks away.
As she walked along under the tall elm trees,
Diane asked God to keep her safe
from harm and danger.
When she reached the alley,
which was a short cut to her house,
she decided to take it.
However, halfway down the alley
she noticed a man standing
at the end as though he were waiting for her.
She became uneasy and began to pray,
asking for God's protection.
Instantly a comforting feeling of
quietness and security
wrapped round her,
she felt as though someone was
walking with her.
When she reached the end of the alley,
she walked right past the man
and arrived home safely.
The following day,
she read in the newspaper that
a young girl had been raped in the same alley
just twenty minutes after she had been there.
Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy
and the fact that it could have been her,
she began to weep.
Thanking the Lord for her safety
and to help this young woman,
she decided to go to the police station.
She felt she could recognize the man,
so she told them her story.
The police asked her if she would be willing
to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him.
She agreed and immediately pointed out
the man she had seen in the alley the night before.
When the man was told he had been identified,
he immediately broke down and confessed.
The officer thanked Diane for her bravery
and asked if there was anything
they could do for her.
She asked if they would ask
the man one question.
Diane was curious as to why
he had not attacked her.
When the policeman asked him, he answered,
"Because she wasn't alone.
She had two tall men walking on either side of her."
Cheers,
Eigna

hello people.
went for a musical, 'thief of all times' last sat 15/3. it's about how the devil manages to keep stealing our time all this time. the play portrays two main things.
firstly how the devil keeps occupying our time. be it with school, homework, CCAs, playtime, go-out time, or slack time. dont you think there will always be something else to do, to complete, when we want to give God some of our time. be it to read the bible or talking to Him. always by the time we have time we want to play or learn something new, switch on the tv, go on the computer or we're simply too tired.
will we let the devil do this.or have we been letting the devil do this. have we been constantly praying through the day, talking and listening to God? have we been digging up gold in His best-seller?
number two. how the devil makes us uninterested in God's words. we always got so much else to do. day after day after day. i mean. most of us are more than 16. have we been reading the bible? have we been praying and committing our lives to God? or have we been procrastinating? have we been letting this thief steal our precious time with God? i mean like. opening the bible doesnt seem quite interesting, does it? compared to other things.
well, i felt that this was quite meaningful. so here it is. let us be reminded not to procrastinate.
the evangelistic tea party (without tea), is this sat 22/3. let us try to invite some friends over to let them know about our personal saviour. it's a good chance to get into the topic of Jesus. hope to see them around so we can talk to them. thanks
-Joel (:
P.S. let keep this blog alive with whatever rantings we have. thanks.
