An eventful weekend

This weekend saw history almost being made (Li Jiawei's close call at an Olympics medal), history being made (the major changes by our new PM) and sports records being equaled (Michael Phelp's 8 gold medals and Arsenal's 42-match unbeated streak in the EPL). And I spent the weekend sick. Oh well...

Jiawei's efforts were encouraging though. You could see the pressure on her face as every trick she had under her sleeve seemed to be countered with an excellant defensive display by her Korean opponent. Well, she may be down, but I think that she's definitely not out. Wondering if I put in the same amount of effort in my own personal battles... hmm...

Worrying to see the new PM being quite pro-casino. Yeen Lan (my church's misssionary to Kenya) also shared her concerns with us about the casino issue during Friday's prayer fellowship. One of the major dangers Christians face today is compromise. Compromise in making church services too "congregation-friendly", compromise in sharing only part of the gospel, compromise in the way we lead Christ-like lives. Have I compromised in the way I lead my life? I think I have... many, many times...

Well, at least our new PM has made it slightly easier for couples to make babies...

Easier to make... but may not be easier to breed and cultivate
