Another weekend burned in the newsroom and another slow news day. Leading the news this hour: Senior Minister of State for Law and Home Affairs Associate Professor Ho Peng Kee has called on youths to play their part in crime prevention.

Be still, my beating heart.

And here's another travel memory for the day. This picture was taken outside the Reichstag (German parliament) in Berlin in March this year. I don't know where the performers are from, but I found it pretty cool. I know the kids in the crowd loved the whole thing too. No, they weren't making some political statement about how the legislative is merely a puppet of the executive. That would be far more appropriate in, oh, I'm sure you can figure out where. I should probably take more recent photos to upload though.



Beginning to feel the overseas call again. So many options, so little money. North America, Central Asia, the Middle East...just when will I make it there? Now all I need to do is win the Golden Point Award. Still another 3 more months before I find out. Lord, let me win!!!

I'm finding out again just how hard it is to let go of things. How long can you carry the burdens of the past? After all this time, the oldest hurts remain. This verse spoke to me yesterday. It's probably rather cliched, but its the verse for the season right now, I think.

"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?" ~ Isaiah 43: 18 - 19
