I'm a Christian, a physicist, a worshipper, a gamer, a husband and a father.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

After Jesus came back from the dead, he was walking on the beach with Peter, the leader of the apostles. Three times he asked Peter, “Do you love me?” Three times Peter said that he did. And three time Jesus commanded Peter, “Feed my sheep.”
Jesus is the Good Shepherd and his sheep are all the people in the world that belong to Jesus – the Christians and the not-yet Christians. If we love Jesus, we will be caring for these people. Sometimes I caught up in my own world too much and forget to care for others. This passage is a challenge to rediscover my live for Jesus in caring for his family, his flock.

He is no fool, who gives up what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.
Paul says in Philippians 4:
I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.
Sometimes we forget what a mind-blowing statement this is! Paul was beaten, whipped and stoned almost to death, thrown into prison for months, years. In all this he learned to be content.Â
Could I do that?
Recently we had a scare with Zach and had to take him into hospital. The doctors and nurses said that Farrah and I seemed very calm. We may have been on the surface, but we were terrified underneath! I wouldn’t say we were content in that situation.
