Met in Church at 4 PM today for a session on Leading Worship by Daniel uncle. He’s an orthopaedician who works in the UK and is a Worhip pastor at his church. He’d wanted to meet the worship team in our church and… there we were… huddled together listening to him, filling up a questionaire, discussing, debating, thinking… and singing.It was refreshing as our eyes were opened to a lot of new things about worship, the reason and the attitude.It was inspiring, motivational and truthful – like being hit with a fresh fragrance!I’m sure it will uplift the team and the church – Praise God!!

Over the last few days I had been on leave and spent a lot of time ON my bed. And today after returning from work, I looked at my bed and then slowly realised that the miscellaneous clutter of stuff on my bed was actually amazing!Here’s a picture of itClick the image above for the full picture.Here’s a list from left to right. There’s–Youth Touch: A Christian Magazine which has a cover page designed by Sheba-Rheumatic Fever: A short textbook I had (tried to) read in the afternoon (the orange book)– NEWSBOYS: a short book on the band’s history etc which was gifted to me by Sheba and Jitto– Some miscellaneous handwritten and printed academic notes (buried underneath)– The Doctor’s…

As usual went to Bagayam (an 8 km ride) on my bike for work today. As I had a case presentatiion in the afternoon, I came back to the main hospital at lunch time. I had a quick lunch and stepped into my room when it just started pouring out of the blue. We had a sudden burst of rain that went on for a couple of hours – and I had escaped it! I can imagine what would have happened if I had got caught on my bike in the rain!! Gosh!!And yeah… the case presentation was ‘largely’ uneventful and I was spared any battering!

My ceiling fan is unique in many ways. One of it is the fact that it runs at only 2 speeds – ‘0’ when it is switched off and ‘5’ – full speed – when it is switched on! It’s been OK till now as the weather’s been hot / warm and the fan was always on full speed. It’s however been getting cooler and cooler the last few days with some rain. I took today off as I had an upset tummy and a slight fever. Now I wished that the fan regulator actually worked. ‘0’ was too warm and ‘5’ meant I ended shivering. I spent the morning switching between the 2 every few minutes. Ugh! Finally in…

After the series of mishaps yesterday we were a little careful when we started off practice before service today. Our fears seemed real when Mebin started off my lifting up a mike and thrusting his hand into the ceiling fan above! But that was just about the only wrong chord the rest of the day fortunately. Worship was amazing and everyone enjoyed it. The message was good too. And Jean Aunty shared a little about her ministry with the gypsies.And for those of you who read yesterday’s entry – GOD IS IN CONTROL!!

As usual we met at church for worship practice. Shirley was leading and we sat down with the list of songs.Finding the OHP sheets with the songs was quite a task as the the sheets were all in disarray, but we found all except one. Mebin started rigging up the mikes and the keyboard. He then got the projector out and plugged in the extension cord as he started unwinding it… poof… a spark of light showed up on the switchboard and the power went out! We quickly located a blown fuse. Amazingly uncle Thomas had some extra fusewire and we soon set it right. A few minutes…. poof again… the whole church power went off!! This time the main…

It seemed quite straightforward – the pediatric surgery registrar was called to the Neurosurgery ward for a child for whom IV access was difficult and was requested to do a cut down ie insert the canula into a large vein under direct visualisation. Sajjiwent down to do it and I decided to join him as I wanted to learn the procedure. We started confidently in one of the veins aboive the ankle… but slowly things started going against us.First the girl started moving and shaking and refused to hold still.. and the vein got all frayed and unusable. Sajji persisted and tried cannulating the vein a little higher up… but this time the canula counter-punctured the vein and came out….

It must be just a coincidence – two different boys from two totally different places came into the emergency department at 9 AM today after having swallowed a coin each which got stuck in their throats!Luckily they were both very stable. After the Xrays three of us doctors went into the special Xray room to take it out under fluoroscopic visualisation. I hadnt seen one being done before – you put in a catheter which the kid swallws and once the tip is beyond the coin, we inflate a balloon at it’s tip and yank the catheter out which results in the ballon pulling out the coin as it comes out! Quite simple actually.The first kid (the younger one –…

I was browsing through the links on my new site Christian-Traffic and realised that because I had left the countries field on each link blank there was an image error next to each site which looked awful.So I got down to updating each of almost 100 links with the countries! I did it in the library and it took about an hour. Thank God for giving me the patience… it could’ve turned out to be very frustrating but went on smooth!

Freddie had messaged me a few days ago saying that Nishant was giving a talk about the Da Vinci Code this weekend. It was amazing. I’ve never actually concentrated on such books, but it was a real eye opener! Nishant was awesome as he pieced together the evidence against the code. He’s just over 20 years old and spoke with such authority! We were all blessed.We also had a short time of worship.I really wonder how easily people get deceived by mixing half facts with fiction. Satan uses some very innovative tools these days to try to destroy God – we need to be wary. Pray to God for wisdom… Amen!
