I'm trying very hard to think

We kid around in office a lot and very often, my brain is the subject of amusement. Please do not misunderstand. My friends are good-natured but really, I digest things really slowly.  I can sit in a meeting and be lost after ten minutes, trying to swallow what was said and try to regurgitate something helpful and intelligent.

Yet, as I grow in the Christian faith, I've been exhorted time and again to think, biblically about seemingly mundane or everyday things.  Also, I've been inspired of late by two books 'This Is My Father's World' and 'He Speaks To Me Everywhere', titles taken from the lines of my favourite hymn. They are collections of devotionals, written to Christians about the world and culture we live in today.

Hence, I have decided, against my better sense, to start a blog, to make sure I think and to practise my writing.  

Hopefully, it will benefit Christians who read this blog - that they may be strengthened in their faith and encouraged to think.

Hopefully, it will spark off something in the minds of non-Christians who stumble upon the blog.

Hopefully my pentium-1 brain will upgrade itself to intel quad core capability, before our Lord returns.

Till then, we live in our Father's world.  As we grow in awareness of God's character and standards through His creation, let us sharpen one another, as iron sharpens iron. (Proverbs 27:17)
