I was invited to blog here by a dear friend ... what a privilege. Thanks dear! I think this blog for me is about being mindful of living each moment as a possibility to reflect the love of Christ.

No moment is ever wasted, if you think about it. Whether you're stuck in line at the bank or waiting for a friend, you won't be bored, because you have the most powerful activity at your disposal--prayer!

This was hammered home to me over the weekend. I was at the gym and about to go to yoga class in the studio, when I noticed in the spinning studio next door there were some people talking urgently and the music still blaring but all exercise had stopped. I understood that someone had collapsed during spinning class and he was still on the ground. A lady was on the phone with 911, describing the situation. The instructor was administering CPR. It had JUST happened, so there weren't many people around yet; they had alerted the manager of the gym but he hadn't even arrived on the scene yet.

The HK side of me wanted to go by the studio and peek in... see what the man looked like, etc. I could've done so easily, without getting in the way of anyone, but I didn't. And I couldn't be of much use. Instead I went to the (empty) changing room and prayed--out loud. I prayed for him to not be scared, that angels would come into his unconsciousness and tell him about Jesus.

This incident also showed me the urgency of spreading the gospel--you could be exercising one minute, and then unconscious with no pulse the next. I don't know whether people are given a "last chance" to accept Jesus before they die, but either way, they are missing out on living a life on THIS earth knowing our Lord and Saviour in intimate way, and doing HIS work in cooperation with Him. I have never experienced more joy than when I know God is using me.
