Came back from work not feeling very well. Then during dinner, aggravated it by drinking a whole can of Coke Lime which has been accidently frozen in the freezer. It bloated up quite horribly, so I defrozed it at room temperature and drank it whole. That was a big mistake. It was downhill all the way. The kids have been down with stomach flu and my tummy aches like it. I felt so bad that even if there's a truckload of diamonds in front of me, I'll choose feeling better again. Mag's looked enlighten. I think I really made my point.

After dinner, we still tried to visit Hana, a child who visits HopeKids. She wasn't around last Sunday so just wanted to find out how she is. Nobody home, so dropped our service bulletin in her mailbox and left. In the car, still feeling sick, I asked Chern Han my 2 year old son "Chern Han, can you pray for daddy who's sick?" He bowed his head and said "Tank yu, Jeeses, pray daddy sick, amen!". I didn't know what to think. I said thank you and turned to ask Mei Si to pray too. She did.

Last night I slept early on the couch. Read some newspaper and slept listening to some music. I woke up at 2am, watched Friends and did some work. Now I can't sleep again, but praise God my tummy's been better. I wondered if it is my son's or my daughter's prayer that God answered. Maybe its both because they are the same prayer anyway. Even if one didn't sound quite right.

Listening to Fontella Bass singing the beautiful "The Light of the World" from her
No Ways Tired album. So much soul the way she calls out "Jesus, light of the world". In the title track, her words "Nobody tells me the road was easy... I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me ... " should help me sleep. See you later in the morning.
