121205

verses read: Daniel 11:1-35
prayer: 5 minutes

One thing about the above passage that struck me was the great detail in which Daniel described history. But the book on Daniel was written before those events took place. Reading the study Bible and those passages at the same time helped greatly as you could see the events that took place clearer. But then, all this suddenly stops, and in the passage for tomorrow, the prophecy becomes on of the future instead. A future that has yet to pass. That’s pretty scary stuff!

Well, today, going to start my so called personal retreat, just going to spend the day in solitude of spirit. Intend to go the gym, then to Ikea to pick up stuff for my completely destroyed room! Intend to get some Christmas cards as well. In previous years, I just gave 5 cards to people who mattered the most. This year, I will give out Christmas cards, to as many people as I can. After Ikea, will head to SKS or Tecman to get a Bible cover. The box I use to carry my Bible around is more or less unusable already; it’s served me well for 2 years though! And after that, a trip to Sinamex to get strings! One week of intensive guitar use last week cost me quite dearly in terms of strings! 2 sets broke! Will need to file the nut or bridge a little as well; have a feeling some sharp edge has been causing the breakages. Hopefully at peace centre will be able to find a stationery shop to buy a file as well. A refillable A5 file, for my journal. All these entries on my blog, are actually compiled as a word document, for Pastor Aaron’s accountability sessions. And I guess, to keep stock of my life as well.

Interesting observation. The past week, the number of visitors to my blog dipped significantly, but yesterday, it jumped really high! So, I wonder if more VCFers read this blog than PMC youth…

Here is yesterday's missing post. After doing the reading, I headed for church. Only realised I didn't post it up until now. Didn't do a reflection on it anyway. Was hit too hard by pastor's sermon.
