Day 4 – In Singapore – Thai Lunch
The large building at the back is the Singapore Library. Along both sides of the street are many shops (mostly restaurants) with all different fronts – multicolor. On the left maybe you can make out First Thai Food (23). It was an open air restaurant that had a certificate on the wall that said it had been certified by the Thai government to serve authentic Thai cuisine. For lunch I had Pad Thai and Mango Sticky Rice – very good.
No internet connection yesterday -
Day 3 – Arrived in Singapore without incident. Here is my home while here:
Here’s today’s photo
I’m off to Singapore – look out Marche, here I come (and maybe a quick trip to Taco Bell).
Today is the first day for the rest of your life. Ever heard that one? Well, today marks the 1st day of what I hope will be a year of daily picture posting. I was inspired by another a blog writer.
Anyway, it goes like this; I’m going to try real hard to post a new picture to the blog every day – one a day. This is to record what my year is like, where I travel, how my appearance changes, etc.
So without further fanfare, here is today’s picture:
Today was a play day for Fran and I. We went up north to Danshui and saw some new sights. This bridge is called either “Valentine Bridge” or “Bridge of Lovers”. We saw it labeled both.

Good review Here . . . . Good lyrics below . . . .
“How Can I Keep From Singing”
There is an endless song
Echoes in my soul
I hear the music ring
And though storms may come
I am holding on
To the rock I cling
How can I keep from singing Your praise?
How can I ever say enough?
How amazing is Your love?
How can I keep from shouting Your name?
I know I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart want to sing
I will lift my eyes
In the darkest night
For I know my Savior lives
And I will walk with You
Knowing You see me through
And sing the songs You give
How can I keep from singing Your praise?
How can I ever say enough?
How amazing is Your love?
How can I keep from shouting Your name?
I know I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart want to sing
I can sing in the troubled times
Sing when I win
I can sing when I lose my step
And I fall down again
I can sing ’cause You pick me up
Sing ’cause You’re there
I can sing ’cause You hear me, Lord
When I call to You in prayer
I can sing with my last breath
Sing for I know
That I’ll sing with the angels
And the saints around the throne
How can I keep from singing Your praise?
How can I ever say enough?
How amazing is Your love?
How can I keep from shouting Your name?
I know I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart
I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart
I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart want to sing
I can sing
Fran says that our blog is beginning to look like nothing but a book review. I’ll try to do better . . . However . . . . I just finished one of the most enjoyable books I’ve read in a while. It’s called A Penny for Your Thoughts
Five Stars!
This year the men’s BSF class is the largest it has ever been. This is the 7th year of its existance.
Tonight I will present the first BSF seminar of the year – Homiletics.
I’m hoping for a record turnout.
UPDATE 10/6: Well, I had 8 men + me. Might not be a record or sound like too many, but it represents 12% of our attendance last week – so it was a good turnout. I hope the men got something out of it – I sure enjoyed it!
The bad news is that I am really, really behind in stuff 
The good news is that next weekend will last for 5 days! 
Friday is Mid-Autumn Festival and Tuesday is Double Ten

Monday the office is closed so I’ll be working from home
