War & Impact on the world

 Repost - taken from FB posted on 4-April-2022 I always wonder what is the biggest cause of famine when the bible mentioned that one of the sign of end times wouls be Famine, besides war and rumours of war as well as earthquakes and pestilences.    So I always thought that, what kind of disaster that will strike that can cause food production be so severely affected - a drought? But watching the developments unfold… there seems to be different possibilities of severe famine could come.   The war between Russia and Ukraine really opened up my mind to different revelation of how things could have potential impact on various things.    Im sharing a bit of my early stage experiences now, since i am involved in food industry, a small aqua-entreprenuer i wouls say, with a small fish farm.    Prices of feed that is controlled by the feedmill have already increased 20% since the day of year 2000 around the time Pandemic jus started. Prices are anticipated to go up. So when you saw prices of fo

LOST & FOUND

 Reposted from 19-June-2022 I would love to express my utmost gratitude to both Chris & Latausha.   I was doing some works at the Hotel Lobby and accidentally left my wallet there. I wasnt even realising that I have forgotten about the wallet and returned to my hotel room. Within like 5 minutes the phone rang and a lady asked "Did you lose your wallet?" - I was like "Did I?" - to my shocked, I realised that yes, I do lost my wallet. She said "No you didnt. It is with me at the front desk".   It is a very warmth morning to experience such a great testimony of honesty, and I wish to leave a note of thanks, of how much misery it will be for my stay to have lost all my monies and my credit cards. I pray that our very dear God, our Lord Jesus, will also graciously bless both of you.    Thank you for the wonderful moment again this has recorded in my life. Indeed, this journey to come to Arlington for Bible Study Fellowship's Launch program has piled me

Completed BSF Launch Journey - Back from US

Image
  Reposted from 24-June-2022 As I complete my BSF Launch journey…   As I checked in at the airport, the queue was long and the check in was very slow.    At the counter, i requested for an isle seat. This will be a 16 hours flight and it will be extremely torturous, as how i experienced it when i flew into Dallas frm Doha, but with company of Brother Jerry, it was very much better.    Now that i have to fly alone, i can only hope for an isle seat by myself, so i can move around whenever i need to stretch. The long distance means “sit until the backside pain”.    To my disappointment, the staff told me, sorry this is a full flight and there is no more isle seat available. You hv to sit in the middle. Well, in my heart, God this is for you. I accept with a cheerful heart, though i don really like it.    At the boarding gate, another announcement was made, stating this is a full flight. You cannot bring more than 1 luggage, and hv to check in additional pieces and they are unable to enter

What the Lord has opened for you, nobody can shut you out

  Written on: 16-June-2022  Repost Here:    About to travel overseas tomorrow for Our Bible Study Fellowship training. Feeling bit anxious, partly because of the distance and also the time i have to stay away frm home. With things to clear off before my departure, there are many things in my head, and it has definitely made me absent minded. So today, i accidentally locked my office door with my keys inside.    So i quickly texted my good brother Ben Tham to rescue. Imagine, i actually asked him how to break the door when i actually meant how to break the lock. He was super nice, offer to take few hours off to come all the way from MCKL to see if he can help me unlock it. Agreed - feeling bad of course, at 3pm. So im feeling so helpless, can jus walk here and there, lie on the sofa, thinking what i can do. No computer, nothing, stranded and handicapped.    Fast forward.. i do not know why and how, i jus took my key frm my pocket, where my MCKL room key is together with ny car key, and
