Verses read: Matthew 3:1-12, Psalm 5

When I read this passage, the thing that strikes me is that John the Baptist is actually portrayed as a person who lives in the wild. Almost barbaric in nature. YET, the crowds followed him; there had to be something that attracted these people to him.

Didn't post yesterday as it was a Sunday, but of course I still continued my readings. My teaching load for the day has already ended thanks to the dedication and installation service. My throat is feeling really sore, and I need more sleep!

Been invited to play at another wedding and another reunion with the BCE band. Nice. Fitting since this couple got together at that event. Hard to imagine it was FOUR years ago that we were cooped up at Temasek Hall writing songs and music for Falling Spinning. Yet in some way it is a reminder of "what it could have been for me". Like I wrote so long ago, the Lord gives and the Lord takes away.
