back from ABR. it was a good time of learning, fellowshipping, a lot of laughing and eating as well... as tiring as each day was, it seemed that everyone shared the same sentiment of staying up late just to get to know one another better.. be it through taboo, bridge, embarrassing stories, suppers or trying to survive burps of durians (for only the last night, thankfully!!). the whole camp was a really good reminder to continue to put our faith and confidence in the word of God. i do not doubt that there were ppl who took offend at some of the things learnt. it really forced them to go back to the bible to read it for how it is to be read. ultimately understanding that there is only one interpretation of the bible but many applications.

plus they were challenged.. which is good, really. challenged by the fact that God speaks to us through the bible and nowhere else... not dreams or visions. All Scripture is God-breathed. the word is sufficient. why are we pushing it away to look for more when we already have God's word? i guess they took time to digest it. hope they think more abt it.. reflect on it. which is good.. remembering that we have to be teachable as a church if we want to build the church up. it's not just the members that have to be humble to learn or even relearn things.. even the leaders need to do that.. to be able to drop burdens to pick up what God's saying to us, not what we want God to say to us.

nevertheless, the camp was good stuff.. now FOC to look to.. to welcome the freshmen and newcomers to cf.. hee hee..

oh, found jellytots! good stuff.. good stuff.. ahahahaha but the packaging has changed.

old

i remember the familiar yellow packaging and the orange grinning face.. the sweetness of jelly tots always made me smile and the tiny sugary fruit gum would turn a depressing day around. well, it's no longer what it was..

new

well, what counts is that it's still the same jelly tots that i like!
