Happy Easter everyone!

Last couple of weeks have been good.  Matty celebrates his 1 year old birthday with a very pink bunny cake I bought him (I told the cake shop to draw a bunny on his cake and they say, oh yes, we can do it, 画只美美的小兔 were their exact words!), I got my home, am now in the process of getting the loan..

Yesterday's Easter sermon was good.  It was about being positive - leaving the tomb for the light.  Being positive about our future. Very apt for me as I feel I can see light at the end of the dark tunnel, I am focusing on that light.

I'm sipping a bottle of 凉茶 as I type and I realize it's been a long while since I last had one.  Yes, I am sick again - bought 2 bottles to combat this darn flu.  I ran Mt Faber like crap yesterday and went home to sleep off the rest of day.  I'm avoiding Matty for now for fear of infection.

Today's reading : Monday within the Octave of EasterActs 2:14, 22-33
On the day of Pentecost, Peter stood up with the Eleven,
raised his voice, and proclaimed:
"You who are Jews, indeed all of you staying in Jerusalem.
Let this be known to you, and listen to my words.

"You who are children of Israel, hear these words.
Jesus the Nazorean was a man commended to you by God
with mighty deeds, wonders, and signs,
which God worked through him in your midst, as you yourselves know.
This man, delivered up by the set plan and foreknowledge of God,
you killed, using lawless men to crucify him.
But God raised him up, releasing him from the throes of death,
because it was impossible for him to be held by it.
For David says of him:

I saw the Lord ever before me,
with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed.
Therefore my heart has been glad and my tongue has exulted;
my flesh, too, will dwell in hope,
because you will not abandon my soul to the nether world,
nor will you suffer your holy one to see corruption.
You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence.
