A New Template

Ephesians 4:25-32 (New International Version)

25Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one body. 26"In your anger do not sin"[a]: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27and do not give the devil a foothold. 28He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to share with those in need.

29Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.


It has been always my usual self to read something before I could fall into my gentle slumber. It was that Ephesians 4:25 - 32 caught my attention. Look like the passage is referring to me when all the time I tried not to identify myself in the blog which I supposely meant acting as a vessel to e-evangelize and reach out to His ministry. But if that withholding myself as a coward, then how? Can this anonymity the last refuge for such cowardice? Like people hiding behind the screen of anonymity or a false identity feel the freedom to launch angry, hurtful tirades which lead to be unkind without having the slightest thought to take responsibility for the words poured out from them.

According to Ephesians 4:29, our words should edify and impart grace. If I am unwillingly to make myself identified, then it should not glofigy god. With this in mind I decided to change my approach in blogging. I take another appearance of my blog template. So ......more to come from me.

Happy Birthday James!

Twenty-five years ago exactly the date today, I gave birth to u. U were such cute n fair tinny baby then. Being my first born, I was then so innocent and blissfully ignorant of experience of having a baby. U know mum was almost fainted after the struggle of pain for more than a cylce of the clock. I was then on drip. But then when I was able to be discharged u still need to be taken care off by the nurses and to observe your jaundice and the excessive mucus from your gut.

Now mum is proud of u, son, to be graduated with Degree in Environmental Science and a Master in Architect. Most of all mum and dady are proud of u getting married to Rowena early last year and then celebration done last December both in Miri and in Bintulu. We all wish u the best of everything and this is just the beginning chapter of your life. May the blessing from God pour abundantly to u and Rowena.

God, the best maker of all marriages,
Combine your hearts into one.
-- William Shakespeare
