wahlau's online hut

even though this might be a little late (at home it is already afternoon :) ), but after reading the post from Susan, i think i wish to also take this chance to tell all the visitors something about Easter...

the past weeks are tougher than ever. not because of things we are used to, but for new experiences and new journey ahead. Never have we thought of things like that to take place, but still we believe in Him who knows all things -

ever give some thoughts about apocalypse? how about blog apocalypse? that is something alright. Tomorrow is the end, poof. tarak anymore. Nill. and i have now my very last day time to blog about something. hmm, that makes me thinking.

Before i start thinking about all kinds of contents to write, i think what zewt wrote in 5xmom 's blog makes sense:  

ever wonder why is Easter celebrated? Do you know who is the center of this event, and why christians go through this year after year?

even though mentioned earlier, i have only now time to jot down little things that happened during the first of 2007. You must have thought "Gee this guy must have got lots of fun time...". well, read on :)

We did had a great time in the Netherland, but perhaps that is also the reason why we came back rather exhausted. Result - both of us fell sick one after the other ;) i got better on Wednesday, and wifey took over and stayed sick until today. Both of us got better, but i think she is still not completed recovered. Well, we have still tomorrow before Monday comes.

in the middle of my work and busyness, suddenly this thought appeared in my mind:

"how do i know whether i am on the right path in things i am doing now?" 

i have no best answer. But i have this answer:

by walking it. 

today is Easter. we had two services, one at 5am (yes, 5am) and the other at 10am. the former was together with the choir, and the choir sang during the service. The latter was with our regular church.

The 5am service was nice and interesting. This year seemed to bring more impact than the one we had last year. Perhaps we were more awake this round :) It start short after 5, in darkness with a sketch: a court where the death and resurrection of Jesus wwe as judged. Different witnesses were called: Pontius Pilate, Saul (and Paul), Maria Magdalene and Simon Peter. Pretty creative way to talk about what happened years ago as Jesus resurrected.

it's sunday again, and after two services, some thoughts of the day...

Life
we all have lives. some like it with career,  some has priority in their families. Some knows their limits, and will always try to overcome them. Some seek their whole life, in order to find some explanations or meaning to life, and some never find them. No matter what, there is something we cannot neglect - without knowing our lives, it is perhaps not much meaning continuing one's life.

how do you define yours?  

Growing pains
