Alpha last session!

 As always, we had our prayer meeting half an hour earlier before we started the Alpha session. Usually, I come to church very early but waited at the Atrium instead of going into the Grace Chapel where we had our Alpha session.

Alpha last run (today) turn-out

But today, I decided to just go inside Grace Chapel and wait, being the first to arrive other than Karen the church administer and Pastor Julia. Standing in front of the screen, I saw the display of "Welcome to ALPHA".  All the while my mind was just focusing on the words. Then, the prompting came - "I'm the ALPHA & OMEGA". Welcome to ALPHA is welcoming people to JESUS. So, that's what ALPHA is supposed to mean. ALPHA is Jesus, we bring people to JESUS.

Alpha Ministry servants

Today is our last session for this first run of the ALPHA ministry. We had a wonderful time and many new friendship are forged.

My team members, (Danny is second from the right)

This is my team members. Olia was down with COVID, while Gabriel had caught a flu and could not join us today. For my team, we are all believers and so our sharing are mostly testimonies and encounters with God. Praying that they will settle well with their new cells and for Danny, who just came from China last December and joined Riverlife Church is now serving as a Drummer in the Chinese congregation.

Agape!

My fourth COVID vaccination

 I got my 4th COVID vaccination in the morning today at a Pasir Ris GP clinic. As the family will be travelling oversea sometime this year, it will be safer for us with a vaccination.

The doctor, Dr Eugene Kang did the vaccination himself after talking to me. I thought it was to be done by a nurse. As there was only 1 doctor at that time, I have to wait for him to complete his work with a patient before they slot me in. As usual, clinics in Singapore are always crowded. So, I thought I need to wait for a long time. Thankfully, it was only a 10 minutes wait. 

My 3rd vaccination was in September 2021, >1 year ago. So, as what the doctor said, it is good to have another vaccination. (Ah-ha, have vaccination on my birthday!)

Right now, I do not feel any abnormality after the vaccination. My hand are also not painful. I will likely go for a jog tomorrow if there is not effect taking place.

Thank God!

Agape - God's love be with you! 

Running Activities in March 2023

 Busy running!

This is perhaps "the most run" month that I had ever achieved. Some days, I did not bring my phone to record to running mileage, so it could be more. Also, I have been doing many 12km runs during the days which wears me out and make me very tired daily. 

No wonder I ended up with many black toes on both legs. Some are still yet to recover, as you can see!

Black toes are like the rights of passage as one transit from one running level to the next higher level. I feel that I have been more consistent in running a bit faster. But my right knee joint seem to be slight painful and so I am scaling back.

Time to re-think my running plan and schedule for April 2023!
