The major earthquake and tsunami left hundreds dead..Looking at the photos on the devastating effect of the natural calamity brings one to think how fragile life is and how transient the material possession can be.
Ash Wednesday has just passed this week - "to ashes we will become, from ashes we will rise". Let's pray for the people of Japan that those who have lost their loved ones, with our good Lord embracing and comforting them in His arms.
God be with them...

Distribution of religious material
Just read an article on issues on distribution of religious material. My sense is that why should it be restricted in the first place when the situation is supposedly "religious freedom and practices". No? Perhaps so, just in name...
When one starts to be overly protective, or in fact self-righteous over one's own beliefs such that it gives no room to another the freedom, to the extent of imposing practices over others, then it seems warped...Maybe there is a certain level of fear in the so called "self-righteous".
Be it imposing or restricting others, in the old chinese sayings "the paper cannot withhold the fire", things may just spread like wild-fire when suppression is stronger.

Re-launch of The Mustard Seed
The Mustard Seed was taken offline with the termination of my internet broadband services. I am in the midst of putting in the content of what is previously found in the old website. I will update again once it is fully completed. Cheers! God bless! ;)
