Have you sung "Above All" by Paul Baloche and Lenny LeBlanc in your worship service? Here is the first verse to refresh your memory:
| Meeting Up
by Soo-Inn Tan, 16 Aug 2010
How many good conversations have you had this week?
Apparently "happier people have more meaningful
conversations (Melinda Wenner Moyer, "Skip the Small Talk,"
Scientific American Mind, July/August 2010,12)." In a study
conducted at the University of Arizona and Washington
University in St Louis, researchers found that subjects who
were happy and content "spent 70 percent more time talking
than the unhappiest subjects, which suggests that 'the mere
time a person spends in the presence of others is a good
predictor of the person's level of happiness . . .' (Moyer,12)."
These happy subjects "participated in a third as much small
talk and had twice as many in-depth conversations as the
most unhappy participants (Moyer, 12)." Which may explain
why many of us are not happy.
| The Problem with Inception
by Soo-Inn Tan, 9 Aug 2010
Our friends seem to be divided between those who think that Inception (2010) is a great
ground breaking movie, and those who think that it is at best an average movie. We belong to
the second category and hope that those in the first category will forgive us. We stand with
reviewers like Andrew O' Hehir of Salon who thinks that Inception is a "clunky overblown
disappointment . . . a joyless, awkwardly constructed mess."
| The Month of National Days
by Soo-Inn Tan, 9 Aug 2010
August is the season of national days. I am a Malaysian residing in Singapore who returns to Malaysia regularly for work and to connect with friends and family. Aug 9 is the national day of Singapore. Aug 31 is the national day of Malaysia. August seems to be a good month to think again of how the church can impact society for Christ in general, and how the church should view politics in particular.
