Seeking God, our Comforter!
♪ “O rest in the Lord, wait patiently for him…” ♪ This aria by Handel has been ringing in my ears for over two weeks now. It started when a musician friend needed consolation and I was lost for words. At the time, the first piece of music that came to mind which I thought…

It has been a long time since I last wrote anything here. As we embark on another year, perhaps this is a good time to think about restoring, renewing and resetting our faith journey. It is interesting that during a trip I took to Rome in the summer, after visiting 20+ churches in the city,…
