My Thoughts on Life and Faith: in poetry and in prose

  • Ecclesiastes: how the world really works

    Ecclesiastes: how the world really works

    We all have a dainty picture of how our lives should pan out, of how all of life should operate. We expect to do good and experience good, to love and be loved, work hard and prosper, build up wealth and enjoy it. We expect that good things should happen to good people, and evil […]

  • Jonah – the prophet who rebelled

    Jonah – the prophet who rebelled

    The Bible is full of the stories of many prophets, many of them with eponymous books in the Bible, full of the messages God sent them to deliver to various recipients. While a few of them had some of their personal stories told, majority are known mostly for the messages they delivered. But one man […]

  • Discipleship: the call to surrender

    Discipleship: the call to surrender

    When at first we identify as Christians, most of us have an incomplete or incorrect understanding of what it means to be a Christian. We may at first think it is a call to be good people, or an invitation to permanent happiness. We may be overwhelmed by the power of God, and expect that […]

  • The Home Stretch

    The Home Stretch

    Last Sunday, I observed my toddler drifting off to sleep on our way back from church. He’s always determined, it seems, to stay awake through the journey home, a journey of about 30 to 40 minutes depending on the traffic condition. On the drive home, I glance back a few times to check if he’s […]

    Cheers to 100, and to 10000!

    In the last one month, this blog has hit two major milestones – first a 100 followers and then 10,000 all-time views, all of that in a month of minimal activity. Coming from an unassuming beginning 8 and a half years ago, interspersed with so many weeks and months of inactivity in those years, this […]

  • Ramble on…

    Ramble on…

    Do you have a regular time of prayer? Fantastic, if you do! If you don’t, you should consider setting a fixed time of your day aside to talk to your Maker, who hopefully, you also relate with as Father. So, what do you say when you pray? Do you have a routine? Maybe you say […]

  • Does God Understand?

    Does God Understand?

    Does Jesus really understand my struggles? Can he actually relate when I am torn between choices or struggling to obey God’s will? Does it make sense to Him or does He shake his head in disdain as I start to lean towards wrong choices? How do I receive His grace?

    Trusting Him in the Dark

    Who among you fears the Lord and obeys the word of his servant? Let the one who walks in the dark, who has no light, trust in the name of the Lord and rely on their God.Isaiah 50:10 NIV Sometimes, the righteous walk in the dark. They deal with uncertainty, feeling their way around and […]

  • Come to Me

    Come to Me

    “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”Matthew 11:28 NIV Jesus invitation in Matt. 11 rings loud today as it did on the first day it was spoken. It is an invitation to come away from a life of endless pursuits and burden bearing to a life […]
