gathering...

We had dinner last night. We as in aspiring theology students.
Dinner was good. The laugh was even better! Overall, the fellowship is great.

Yes, it was only some of us. (Apologise, we only called some).

Sad it may be, yet even within us Christians, we cannot escape the discrimination of we and the 'different other'. There is always this group mentality about who one could be more open with re subject matters, and can tolerate more liberal views or at least those who speak our own langauge. It also mean, those we could not possibly stumble.

If it is an ideal world, we could all speak plainly. But the world would have been boring with less conflicts and mystery.

During the first Century, even Jesus had to speak in parables. If He did not, then we would not have to worry about what the historical Jesus meant. Yup, I am attempting to finish the first round on Parables before CNY!!!

I thank God for the inspiring fellowship from fellow sufferers!
