Controling your Temper

In the Bible somewhere in the book of Proverbs, it says that a man that controls his temper is better than one who takes or conquers a city. When you can control your temper, you can control your whole body. It goes to show how important it is to control our tempers at all times even in the midst of snarling traffic jams or annoying naggings from parents or siblings. I did look for it high and low to paste it here, but unfortunately, I did not jot down where I found the passage. When I was reading a chapter of Proverbs each day for the whole month for 31 chapters, I did come across it. Anyway the book of Proverbs is full of God's wisdom for daily living.

Need to Pray

My company hopes to get some sports projects around Malaysia and we are competing with other established companies for the projects. We only depend on God to promote us and not man. So I hope with prayer, our requests will be answered. These jobs pay by the thousands and are only once in a while offer. We don't get to see such tenders every day. Being a Chinese company, we cannot depend on the government to feed us as all contracts go to bumiputeras or malays. Our Malaysian government is very racist and always talk in terms of the Chinese, the Malays and Indians, never as a single combined population. Sometimes I wished a Christian Chinese will one day be the Prime Minister of Malaysia but that is just wishful thinking.

Parenting the Christian way

I have never been a parent and am still happily single. But today my church deacon preached on parenting the Christian way so that the kids will grow up to fear the Lord. Christian parents need to set a good example and not only tell their kids or nag at them. Children learn more by watching their parents and 'Actions speak louder than Words'. It was a good topic to discuss and if I ever have a kid, I will make sure he or she will have reverence for Jesus. This is the most important thing to do which is to bring up a child in the ways of the Lord. And one of the hardest jobs in the world is being a parent. Your whole outlook will change and you no longer think of yourself anymore but your kids come into the picture. It also involves finances to be put aside for their upbringing and education. This is a mammoth task.
