As promised, I've got here the links of some videos taken during our Global Gathering last December. Big thanks to my churchmates who really took time to capture, upload (and even edit) and shared those precious G7 moments. So here you go... Happy viewing! :)

Love Affair

I've kept a copy of this movie (the 1994 remake) for the longest time now, but I only got a chance to see it a couple of days ago. It was a nice love story (just like the 1939 and 1957 versions) and I couldn't help but fall in love with the movie soundtrack as well, particularly the Kids singing "I will" (so cute!), the Piano Solo and of course, the end credits song - Love Affair :)

I'm still looking for the mp3 of that end credits song. Anyone willing to share? :D I'm thanking you in advance! :) Meantime, I'd like to share the lyrics here...


LOVE AFFAIR (by K.D. Lang)

skies without stars

all the nights without you

I watch the world

from a room without a view

for you left me

with so few memories

I could close my eyes

and cling to

just a fading photograph

I'd sometimes sink to



all those smiles unexplored

all the words left unsaid

we strung our dreams

on an all too slender thread

for you left me

with so few memories

I could close my eyes

and cling to just a half-remembered tune

I'd sometimes sing to



now I found what we lost

time was all all it cost

love's always there

knowing someday I would share

in a life-long love affair with you



love was always there

knowing someday I would share

in a life-long love affair with you

in a life-long love affair with you

Facing the New Year with Courage

"Be strong and courageous!"
Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV

Without courage you're not living, you're hiding! Courage is what moves you forward; it's the muscle that makes your faith work. Faith by itself can be nothing more than a set of beliefs. Courage is what activates those beliefs.

Every Promised Land has giant-sized problems, and you have to face them and defeat them before moving in and taking up residence. Notice three things in Deuteronomy Chapter 7 (NIV) that God said to Israel about taking the Promised Land:

(1) "Your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God" (v.21). Your God is greater than any opposition you are facing.

(2) "Will drive out those nations before you (v22)." God will go ahead of you. He will do for you what you cannot do for yourself, but you've got to show up for the fight.

(3) "Little by little (v22)." Whether it's conquering your Promised Land or your character flaws, you can't do it all at once, so God works with you in one area after another. Life is not one big battle, then you march in the victory parade. No, it's a series of small daily victories required to defeat the enemies of your Spiritual growth.

Twenty-four chapters later God is still telling Israel to be courageous ( Deuteronomy 31:6). That's because courage is like oxygen, you can't survive without it. Courage is not the absence of fear, it's the conquest of it.

Courage means doing it afraid - until you're no longer afraid. It means - tremble your way to confidence! God promised to go with them, and go before them. Who does God walk with and work with? Who does He go ahead of and arrange things for? The courageous!


May we all face 2008 with courage!!!
