30 June

Hi everyone. Been a few weeks since I have accessed my blog. Been enjoying the generosity and friends. Has a good 3 days break in Kuching, Sarawak. Spent 2 nights in the mountain retreat center of Mount Singai. Fresh air and back to basic. Spend most of time, meditation, Qigong and relaxing. Thanks Fr. Edward. Fr. Richard Ng was generous to bring us to the best Sarawak Laksa and Kolo Mee and driving us around.

Been trying out the bio-resonance seat at Nancy and Stephen's place. They have been so generous and accommodating. Both Jo and I feel good after each session and get a very sound sleep.

Jo and I were talking over breakfast, then I read today's Gospel and Reflection, the same subject came up. Matt 8:29 “What have you to do with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the appointed time?” In general we observe that people tend to put their faith into a compartments and open it when they go to church or when they attend a church meeting/gathering. We believe in God but our actions and thinking many times do not reflect our faith. We tend to be individualistic and do things that does not reflect our faith. We believe that we can put off many things we should do till later because the end of time is not near. Similar to the Gospel, we sometimes behave like the 2 demons in today's Gospel, doing what we like and the way we want things as if there is no tomorrow and that we will only worry about making a change closer to the end time/appointed time. (Have you come here to torment us before the appointed time?)

Let us try to be constantly reminded to see and act through the eyes of Jesus to our partner, family and others we meet. Let us not compartmentalize our faith but try to make it who we are in the things we do, the way to thing and behave. Let this faith cover us and not be like the demoniac at the tombs. Are we living in our tombs closed-in, sealed-off areas of our hearts where life in the Spirit of God has died because we haven't let Jesus minister to us through others and Himself?

I Thank God for his love, the family and friends that he has surrounded me to heal and keep me from closing-in and sealing off but to enjoy His love. Thank You Father for the people You have put in my life.
