The ragged pieces of ideas and thoughts of my attempt to live a life as a contemporary monastic in the urban city of Singapore..
After months (or is it years) of toying with ideas how to get Ragsstudio.com up again after it crashed out a few months/years ago, I have finally found a new purpose for Ragsstudio.com. It'll just be space for Work, Pray & Play, inspired by the Franciscan order's motto of work and pray with the added 'play',
I just want to be faithful with what's been given to me so that I can bless the world. Who doesn't actually? Just that I want to act on it. The vision of me doing something with my 'creative hands' hasn't come to pass but I figure I should do something. Anything. This is what will make me happy. It's crazy, but its fun and I believe in just doing things for fun because more work gets done with fun than without it. And we do take ourselves too seriously sometimes, we worry about too many things... so just want to cut the crap of serious things.
So the new purpose of Ragsstudio.com is pretty counter cultural. It's an anti-website, its anti-getting. I just want to give and do something that really help people. I hope it can. Maybe it can't. It doesn't matter. As long as its work and I can express myself and its fun.
Let's keep doing it. I commit it to God to allow me to have fun and help.

I found an old graphic. It states one of my life motto
Work = We are created for such a thing.
Play = That's how work should be.
Pray = Fuels the work and brings it to a place call 'triumph'
I'm using it in for my

Google plus accounts

Book 1: Francis Chan's Forgotten God. I am embarassed to say that I have never read a Francis Chan book. Now I've repented and downloaded this baby. Francis Chan is Asian American and he pastors a huge church but still goes radically small to connect each person back to God. I like everything about him, even his hairstyle (or the lack of it), especially love his love for God.
Book 2: Derek Sivers' 40 Lessons for a New Kind of Enterprenuer. Derek Sivers is authentic, he's anti-ordinary and most importantly he cares. He personally replied my question about children's ministry. He is not in children's ministry but I asked anyway... And he replied anyway.
