tried and not wanting

"the problem is not that the christian faith has been tried and found wanting, but that it's never been tried." - ravi zacharias


if a skeptic is to scrutinise Jesus' life and the divinity of this 'good man' with a slant toward cynicism, how is it possible for him/her to find anything beneficial for the soul? in setting out to disprove something, one may well lose the essence of what is sought - hope for the soul and faith for the journey.


for that reason, i believe. because none can dispute the peace and joy i find in my Jesus. it is not of a feel-good thing, nor an intellectually-explainable issue. it is my life that's been changed.

i have tried Jesus, and found Him, not wanting (i.e. 'lacking'), but more than enough for me.

aah...2007.

a new year, a fresh start.

yeah yeah, so i'm exactly 23 days late. still, feels like i still haven't gotten into my 2007 skin. been a weird kind of transition into this year. like a jumble of emotions mixed with a very tangy taste of reality.

interestingly, the top new year's resolution of the year is 'strike better balance between work and family'. from my perspective, i think people should make it a DAILY resolution. hardly an annual thing to review, don't you think?

call me a cynic (oh, but i can be one!) but i'll say one thing for the record: resolutions are over-rated. convictions, on the other hand, is under-mentioned.

top new year's resolution: clarify my convictions about family and work. balance shall come naturally.

straining ahead!

but not forsaking what lies behind...
