Carolling about what?


Halleluiah! House of Fellowship lately had been preparing for carolling. It’s a blessing to be part of carolling; prayers, vocal training, musical training, and so on, it’s wonderful.

What is carolling all about? Basically carolling is about going to others and share the good news that Christ was born. Carolling to houses usually will begin with prayers, and then with bible reading and Christmas songs or some might prefer to call it Christmas carols.

As it gets nearer to Christmas, many songs will come out to the air, for example: “Hark the herald angels sing.” , “O come all ye faithful”, “We three kings”, “Santa Claus is coming to town”, “Rudolph the red nose reindeer” and many more. For me, all of the songs are nice and very catchy for many, but I would like to ask a question,

 “What is our message?”

Nowadays, there are a lot of add-on characters for Christmas, sadly, the main character; Jesus Christ is often omitted from the celebration. Well, let us focus on the main character, and share the good news through our carols.

“In the humble stable, there's neither big-white-bearded man, nor any snowman. 
Among all of the animals, I didn't see any red-nose reindeer. Up in the sky, I see angels singing, but no carriage flying. There are no elves with gifts, but wise men. I didn't see any tree with colourful bulbs or socks hanging on the wall, I see the Greatest Gift, lying humbly in the manger. I see salvation is near.”

Suggested readings:
Matthew 1:18 – Matthew 2:12
Luke 2: 1-20

Smartphone – Problems for some people

Image
Amazingly, smartphones productions and sales are skyrocketing high in recent years. What I mean here is the touch-screen-smartphones (TSS). Majority of my friends are using TSS, some of them even have 2 smartphones with different numbers. Few brands are popular in the market: Apple, Samsung, Blackberry and Nokia. I chose Acer beTouch 140.  If previously you have heard about great things about TSS, let me share about some problems with smartphones. Sweaty hands: You’ll find difficulty with TSS if you have sweaty hands. Sometimes, the screen is not sensitive to your touch, so you need to wipe your fingers and the screen frequently. Moreover, the sweat will make the screen dirty. When it comes to games that require fast tapping (Tap the Frog and so on), you may find difficulty to excel in this type of game as your sweaty hands may sometimes disturb the reactivity of the screen to your touch. Typing messages:              Previously before having TSS, many of us are a

The Ant and The Grasshopper

One day, a teacher tells this story to his class, “Once upon a time there is an ant live in a beautiful forest. The ant is a very hardworking; it works so hard to find foods. Winter is coming soon and ant worked extra hard to gather the food stocks for the coming season. Not far from ant’s nest, there live a grasshopper, it plays and really enjoys its life, grasshopper doesn’t really bother to work and gather food stock for the coming winter. Ant is a caring neighbour, it always drop by and ask grasshopper to join it in gathering food, but grasshopper always gives many excuses and refuse to join ant, it enjoys its life and always tease ant for working so hard to find food. “It’s still long way to go ant, why don’t you sit with me and enjoy life?” the grasshopper offer the ant to join it. “Winter is very near, if I don’t work extra hard now, the food will not be enough for me to survive during the season.” Ant replies. “Ha ha, okay then, it’s up to you.” The grasshopper conti
