n they were waiting for the full light of day saint paul proclaims in romans 13 12 the night is far spent the day is at hand therefore let us cast off the works of darkness and let us put on the armor of light let us walk properly as in the day not in revelry and drunkenness not in lewdness and lust not in strife and envy jurgen moltmann notes this from early drawings of praying christians the early christians prayed standing looking up with arms outstretched and eyes wide open ready to walk or to leap forward their posture reflects tense expectation not quiet heart searching it says we are living in god s advent we are on the watch in expectation of the one who is coming and with tense attentiveness we are going to meet the coming god it is quite interesting that nowadays we pray with our eyes closed we want to shut the world out so that we can search our souls and focus on the lord there is a time for contemplative and mystical prayer as we seek to draw near to god in the present but there is also a time for us to pray messianically as we wait expectantly for christ to come from the future to meet us we watch and pray with our eyes open as we watch for the advent we also pray with our eyes open to witness the world groaning in pain as we cry for god s kingdom to come we now play the role of the watchman as the world cries out what of the night we who have glimpsed the light of day answer the day is at hand in prayer we wake up to the world as it is spread out before god in all its heights and depths we perceive the sighing of creation and hear the cries of the created victims that have fallen dumb we also hear the song of praise of the blossoming spring and feel the divine love for everything that lives the person who prays lives more attentively pray wakefully that is only possible if we don t pray mystically with closed eyes but messianically with eyes wide open for god s future in the world jurgen moltmann in the end the beginning posted by sojourner monday february 12 2007 1 comments tuesday january 30 2007 science and theology science does not have a privileged route of access to knowledge through some superior scientific method uniquely its own possession theology does not have a privileged route of access to knowledge through some ineffable source of unquestionable revelation uniquely its own possession both are trying to grasp the significance of their encounters with manifold reality in the case of science the dimension of reality concerned is that of a physical world that we transcend and that can be put to the experimental test in the case of theology it is the reality of god who transcends us and who can be met with only in awe and obedience sir john polkinghorne posted by sojourner tuesday january 30 2007 0 comments thursday january 04 2007 drinking the cup and thoughts on vocation my parents and my brother have come and gone during the long weekend that became too short now that i am all alone here i find myself in melancholy mood again i miss my family i miss the past i miss home wherever that is i ve been thinking the whole night i ve been thinking about my relationships with people and i feel guilty about all the times that i have been so selfish i ve been thinking about penang and jelutong methodist church i wonder if i will have the chance to go back and stay there for awhile to be with my family and to serve in the church that i grew up in i wonder if there is anything that i can give in return to the community that brought me up as a child i ve been thinking about my mom and dad who will be retiring in a few years time i wonder if they are happy with their life right now i wonder if they have joy and a purpose in life i wonder if they will be happier if i moved back to penang i ve been thinking about my own life i wonder where the road will lead me i think i need change i need a fresh start or else i m going to rot here in my laziness and complacency what is my vocation what have i been called to i ve been thinking about god and as i did so i broke out in song as i drove from kota kemuning to sri kembangan i believe i need a fresh injection of discipline in my relating to him some thoughts from henri nouwen to digest while i continue to reflect about my own calling and my vocation jesus drank the cup of his life he experienced praise adulation admiration and immense popularity he also experienced rejection ridicule and mass hatred at one moment people shouted hosanna a moment later they cried crucify him jesus took it all in not as a hero adored and then vilified but as the one who had come to fulfill a mission and who kept his focus on that mission whatever the responses were busyness has become a sign of importance having much to do many places to go and countless people to meet gives us status and even fame however being busy can lead us away from our true vocation and prevent us from drinking our cup it is not easy to distinguish between doing what we are called to do and doing what we want to do our many wants can easily distract us from our true action true action leads us to the fulfillment of our vocation whether we work in an office travel the world write books or make films care for the poor offer leadership or fulfill unspectacular tasks the question is not what do i most want but what is my vocation the most prestigious position in society can be an expression of obedience to our call as well as a sign of our refusal to hear that call and the least prestigious position too can be a response to our vocation as well as a way to avoid it drinking our cup involves carefully choosing those actions which lead us closer to complete emptying of it so that at the end of our lives we can say with jesus it is fulfilled

december 26 2006 lifting the cup a toast to life i lift up the cup of my life for all to see cheers everyone a toast to life i celebrate my life i celebrate 2006 with all of you all you who made a difference all you who inspired me all you who loved me all you who cared for me all you who thought about me all you who prayed for me all you who were there for me all you who chose to give and all you who allowed me to give what little i had to you in return i acknowledge with much gratitude that even though this is my life it is the fruit of the hard work of many people like you indeed the year 2006 is worth celebrating worth remembering more so because of you i lift up the cup of my life for all to see i lift it up in celebration i lift it up in gratitude i lift it up as an invitation for you to join me in lifting your cups as we share and affirm our lives together in community to life i lift my cup to you heavenly father in awesome wonder in thanksgiving in love and in humble submission posted by sojourner tuesday december 26 2006 2 comments wednesday december 20 2006 holding the cup of the past year i hold the cup of my life in both hands and i look into it wondering what i will find in there looking back at 2006 i see a year filled with fear and anguish i see my own journey through depression slowly clawing out of the darkness hoping to see the light of day i see the false dawns teasing me with glimpses of light but it is a light that cannot be reached and then i tumble again into the night yet even in the darkness i see pockets of grace and joy i see memorable moments spent with friends and family fraser s hill bukit tinggi palau payar a spa experience on my birthday even a family retreat i see god s grace in the beauty that he showed me in creation like songs breaking out in the stillness of the night they helped me hang on most of all they gave me hope and slowly but surely i see myself emerging from the shadows inside a pupa out into the daylight again changed and as unrecognizable as a butterfly is from a caterpillar i am transformed but a butterfly is not necessarily more beautiful than a caterpillar from a distance a butterfly flapping its wings in the sunlight looks gorgeous but up close one can see its horrifying ugliness still a bug with a million eyes i see my own transformation as part and parcel of my own growth as a follower of christ my theologies ideologies and faith bear not much resemblance to what they were before it has been a lonely and a painful process some of them self inflicted there were times when i wondered if i should have remained a caterpillar i wondered if i should go back and i still do wonder i do feel once in a while the wonderful exhilaration of being a butterfly and then suddenly i catch a glimpse of the ugliness within the arrogance the pride the anger and i would wonder where they d come from the erosion of love joy even faith and i d wonder where they d gone as the wings on my back dried up and hardened in the sun the wind of the lord lifted me off my perch to explore this beautiful world in a fresh perspective near the end of 2006 even as i was being dragged out of the darkness the lord was already bringing me places strange and new preaching training bible study retreats every experience was an adventure filled with surprises and it culminated with an unforgettable sojourn in sarawak i gaze at the last few months of the year and i see that the hand of god continues to shape and prune in the midst of the excitement there are still dark corners hiding in every part of my life remnants of the dark night of my soul there are yet journeys to be made among them journeys from pride to humility from confusion to mystery and from fear to acceptance and out of the year that was i hear a voice this voice calls me by a new name this voice calls me to leave the oppressive comfort and security of babylon to follow christ with reckless abandon this voice reminds me to trust yhwh who led the israelites out of egypt and through the desert into the promised land who caused water to flow out of the rocks for them isaiah 48 still murmurs in my heart what this babylon is and where he wants me to go i still do not know but i have a feeling that i may not be pleased with the answer this is my life this is 2006 for me it is filled with both sorrow and joy can you drink the cup that i am going to drink jesus asked james and john the cup that jesus drank too was filled with sorrow and joy like henri nouwen says before we can even begin drinking from the cup we must first hold it and to hold it means to know what is inside looking back at my own life am i able to not just hold the cup of my life but to embrace it in all its ugliness pain and agony will i be able to accept it as the cup from which i have been called to drink one that is different from everyone else s but yet connected to theirs in its similarity to the cup of the lord in that it is a cup that contains both grief and glory just as there are countless varieties of wine there are countless varieties of lives no two lives are the same we often compare our lives with those of others trying to decide whether we are better or worse off but such comparisons do not help us much we have to live our life not someone else s we have to hold our own cup we have to dare to say this is my life the life that is given to me and it is this life that i have to live as well as i can nobody else will ever live it i have my own history my own family my own body my own character my own friends my own way of thinking speaking and acting yes i have my own life to live no one else has the same challenge i am alone because i am unique many people can help me to live my life but after all is said and done i have to make my own choices about how to live henri nouwen can you drink the cup posted by sojourner wednesday december 20 2006 1 comments tuesday december 19 2006 a reflective christmas we are six days away from christmas and i would like this christmas to be a reflective one as henri nouwen writes in his book just living life is not enough we must know what we are living a life that is not reflected upon is not worth living it belongs to the essence of being human that we contemplate our life think about it discuss it evaluate it and form opinions about it half of living is reflecting on what is being lived is it worth it is it good is it bad is it old is it new what is it all about this christmas and leading up to the new year i hope to be able to reflect upon the past year i hope i can find enough time to even read all my diary entries in the last year to gaze upon the roads that i have traveled i hope that i can be honest with myself and look at my own life critically and nouwen is right to say this that it requires great courage because when we start looking we might be terrified by what we see i also hope that by looking back i may be able to find some of the answers that i have been seeking for some of my questions have i made a wrong turn somewhere with regards to my faith and what is that sacred task that i have been called to fulfill i would like to contemplate all these together with a careful and reflective reading of can you drink the cup and i believe that i can say with quite an amount of certainty now that this is what i want for christmas this year i wonder if i can go out and get myself a nice looking chalice for my personal reflections posted by sojourner tuesday december 19 2006 0 comments tuesday december 12 2006 endless forms so beautiful and most wonderful many scientists have found it necessary to speak or write about god regardless of the views that they hold be it theistic agnostic or atheistic atheists like popular science writer and prominent zoologist richard dawkins are certain that evolutionary biology demonstrates the non existence of god listed as one of the top intellectuals of the world the ideas of this oxford professor and writer of many popular books such as the selfish gene and the blind watchmaker are sure to carry much weight in the minds of the general public so here we have two christian scientists attempting to write about god and science with particular emphasis given to their respective fields of expertise owen gingerich research professor of astronomy and science history at harvard university and author of many books on astronomy as well comes up with a little book called god s universe kenneth miller a cell biologist at brown university author of many biology textbooks
