Pastor’s Business Card
A new pastor was visiting in the homes of his parishioners. At one house it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door. Therefore, he took out a business card and wrote “Revelation 3:20″ on the back of it and stuck it in the door.
When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been returned. Added to it was this cryptic message,”Genesis 3:10.”
Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter. Revelation 3:20 begins “Behold, I stand at the door and knock.” Genesis 3:10 reads, “I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid for I was naked.”
Remember when the funniest jokes were the clean ones? They still are!
“A cheerful heart is good medicine” (Prov. 17:22)
God Bless You Today
i’m feeling “un-a -bash-ly” proud of myself, I’ve had a VERY productive day….
woke up at 3.30am to send our maid to the airport
arrived home at 5.30am and went back to bed till 9.30am
had a family meeting to delegate house chores responsibilities and then …….
clean, clean, clean, pack and scrub till 3pm!
and that’s just the kitchen, the laundry room and moping wiping the floor
(yeah, we don’t mop the floor, we actually go on our knees and wipe) 
Our house is really not in good shape at all, even the floors are sticky and in certain areas, grimy - which is why we terminated our maid’s contract. She is just not suitable for the job – anyway, I won’t go into the details
I guess when we don’t look into our responsibilities whole heartedly, we won’t do a good job and it got me thinking about how
a) As an employee, are we carrying out our responsiblities as if we are working for our Lord, to do it really well and with pride;
b) in our service to God, do we serve joyfully, wholeheartedly, thouroughly and without complain?
c) are our lives like my house, with dust and rubbish in the corners where we think others can’t see, or rather where we think God can’t see. Have we neglected our responsibilities, not done the things we ought to have done?
Lets spring clean and then work hard at maintaining, better still improving……
Lastly, I want to publicly acknowledge that my husband is great – he’s always supportive and helps with the household chores whenever we don’t have a househelp. *bows*
Here’s a sexy picture of him taken on our holiday to Bali
Allan left for Brunei this afternoon. I’ve just realised that I do not have any contact numbers or addresses of the people he is staying with over there. I remember the days before the invention of the mobile phone…. you wouldn’t let your family or friends go anywhere without knowing how to contact them in case of an emergency. It wasn’t that long ago. Knowledge has increased tremendously in the last ten years. I remember the first mobile car phone being really, really big. My uncle had one in the car and he would have to lug it out with him when he left the car. And the people around would look at it in amazement cos there weren’t a lot of such phones. Then came the big Motorola phones that you could leave standing on the table. It was so hardy, you could drop it into a puddle of water and it would still work. Of course there was no way you could slip it into your pocket! The phone battery was by itself bigger than most of our mobile phones today.
In Allan’s student days at university, the computer filled an entire room and it was a mere few bytes!
The Bible says that one of the signs of the end days is the increase in knowledge and we can see that happening rapidly all over the world.
Be ready . . . . . .
This is where the 2nd bomb attack took place in Bali …………….
We didn’t plan on having dinner here, but the beautiful setting was just too tempting, so we looked at the menu and my brother in law, Jason, said “Discount 30%” and they said “OK” so we sat down and had no regrets. Its just so Bali!
Chin Hoong and Peter joined us for dinner. Chin Hoong was one of Allan & Friends’ best clowns. He is presently studying at a Bible School in Bali and plans to be a full time Christian minister. Peter is from Timur. It was great catching up.
David and Michelle stay in New Jersey and are back in Malaysia for a holiday and so Jeane invited them to join us in Bali for a break and for them to catch up. We really enjoyed their company and could get along so well although we had only just met them.
Michelle and Jeane were classmates and have not seen each other for 7 years, so there was a lot of catching up to do!
Our food bill came up to more than a million (IDR)! Jason asked for 40% discount and they were happy to give it! David and Michelle “fought” to pay the bill and they won – so thanks to the both of you for our one million dinner:)
This is the cheapest room at the hotel. We got it through Asia Rooms at USD42 per night and comes with breakfast for 2. The rack rate at the hotel is USD92, so its better to book through the internet from a 3rd party. Tanjung Benoa and Nusa Dua are good quiet places to stay if you just want to relax at the beach. I would recommend taking the ground floor rooms as the water pressure is better. Overrall, the staff is really friendly and helpful. There is a free shuttle service to the Nusa Dua shopping area. Of course there are small shops just outside the hotel. Choice is limited but the traders seem to be more honest, ie, the starting price is reasonable. For example, I bought some baskets at Ubud for IDR40,000 for 3. They started at IDR160,000. The trader at Kuta’s back lane started at IDR90,000 but was willing to go sown to IDR50,000 for 4 pieces. This lady at Tanjung Benoa, just outside our hotel started at IDR60,000 and of course was persuaded to go down to IDR40,000.
The beach at Tanjung Benoa is not as good as the ones further up north in the area known as Nusa Dua. There are a lot of sea weeds here – its actually ok, but the children were not keen to swim here, so they spent all the time at the swimming pool! The only time they went into the sea was during the snokelling trip to see the turtle sanctuary.
I guess Kuta will be better for young people who do not want to spend too much on transport as you have the beaches, surfing, shopping and food all in one area. Of course, that’s also where the bomb went off
