prayer request

i know this isn't really what anyone wants to read so close to the festive season, but if you have the inclination, please spare a thought or two:
for my old friend Leon, who has lost the battle against cancer and can now only wait...
for Love to grow and heal where me and Peter so desperately need it, and
for our friends and families that have their own journeying and healing to go through.

and remember - live life fully and live life now.
tomorrow... well, tomorrow is not a promise we can keep.

a calling or a bluff?

as some of you may know (twitter), I received a mail from the Lesbian and Gay Equality Project in SA. they've undergone some major revamping - and my old position has been modified and opened up for applications...

could this be a second chance to do things right? or a second chance to kick myself in the teeth...

I believe very strongly that the Lord works in mysterious ways. in fact - that's how I came to Taiwan! is He calling me back to finish the job I ran away from 6 years ago?

or am I making too much of this?

LGBTI rights and equality are very dear to me - and I do want to help heal the world... but part of me is holding back.

been there, done that, got burnt to a crisp. reason dictates that I stay as far away as possible.

then again - I've grown and healed so much since then. is this not an extention of my purpose? to teach, nurture and protect?

I spoke to Peter about this last night. there is a lot to consider - and pray over.

any thoughts?

PS: this song played on my iPod right after i pressed "send" on ShoZu

and so i begin

WE CAN all start afresh! However far we have ascended, there is something higher; and however far we have fallen, it is always possible to make a fresh start.

Eph 4:20

extended opportunity: leave your comments now

the past almost-24 hours has seen 2 comments on my previous post.

2 comments @ 10c a pop = 20c donation thus far? come now - that's less than the bank charges involved in making the donation...

i've decided to extend the comment-period with another 24 hours.

for every comment received on my Blog Action Day post - i will donate 10c to one of their listed causes.

you've got 24 hours - make it count.

Second day

Day in court

Today's the day I face the music (D.U.I.) - spare us a thought.

Pray

My Grandmother just went into surgery for another (3rd) bypass op. The surgery is scheduled from 7AM to 4PM today.

The doctor isn't exactly enthusiastic about the chances of success, as her arteries are severely weakened, clogged and damaged.

Those of you who believe - please pray for her.
Pray that the surgeon and support team do a better job than ever.
Pray for her to live.

Thank you.
