i've been cooking (mainly for eunice) quite a lot lately :) ha
and i'm enjoying it~
please leave your link at my tagboard (if you realise that yours is not there or that it's outdated) cos my present list was super long ago
for my missions and evangelism class on thursday, we watched a movie-documentary on 4 missionaries who were speared to death by 9 Acua tribal men in Ecuador in the 1950s.
the Acua tribe had a legendary reputation for being violent. athropologists who worked on their genealogies realised that 6 out of 10 adults died by being murdered by spears or machetes.
the 5 missionaries were Nate Saint, Roger Youderian, Jim Elliott, Pete Fleming and Ed McCully - their passion to serve the Lord really amazed and encouraged me. they were all young men who just got married and had young children, had promising futures (a trained pilot/mechanic, lawyer, literature professor, etc) but they gave up all to GOD
knowing all the potential ahead of them, they brought along a rifle but they had resolved not to kill any of the Acua tribesmen if they want to kill them - in a notebook, one of them wrote
"we're ready for heaven, they are not"
the show was stopped halfway cos we had to move on for family group. i cant wait for next week for part II
Jim Elliot "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose."
take my life and let it be
consecrated Lord to Thee

something went terribly wrong and my whole blog went into a total mess, even the tagboard disappeared.
finally had some time to do a new one (:
i think most of you would have already known it - eunice's operation today was re-scheduled till next thursday cos she suddenly developed this rash in her leg, thighs and elbows. bernard and i brought her to the doctor to get a blood and urine test. the tentative diagnosis is henoch-schonlein purpura
by the way, eunice and i were pretty tickled by the lady doctor's accent. she's a filipino and she pronouced the word 'medicine' as 'med-dee-seen', 'doctor' as 'dok-taw' - hee
TTC has started - will be taking pastoral theology and missions and evangelism - oh! i have a new family group :) missed the first meeting cos i had to rush to meet up with mom, bernard and eunice after their visit at NUH- will be meeting them tmr - yippeee!
ooh nice!
