So much has been written about Lina’s loss in the Federal Court. I only hope she continues to find joy in the Lord. Her joy should come not from a piece of paper which declares to the world she no longer is a Muslim. That may be the warped joy of those tribal chest thumping mobs, who I hope one day find the joy that Lina has. Malaysia is even further from freedom from the clutches of the brand of Islam plaguing the world today, than ever before. I only hope the slide slows down. No amount of political activity or social commentary would reverse that trend. Only God can reveal Himself to them and instill a sense of true justice again. Only then would Malaysia live through this winter of bondage and take a peek at the refreshing smell of spring again.

Speaking of winter, it arrived, at long last, with a blas yesterday. It was right on time too, as Gandalf would say. It was cold yesterday when I left office early for the second time this week, this time to pick Kiddofrom school after her return from school camp. I got home, turned on my notebook and re-hooked back to the office network to do some work as I left her dirty laundry in the washing machine. After a shower, she went to bed for a snooze and we later took her to JGs for a quick dinner before heading to church for bible study.
It was cold again this morning. The usual weekend vacuuming somehow seemed more sluggish. After vacuuming, I planted the 2 correa shrubs which the Australian government gave Kiddo and I on Wednesday. They now stand in the front of the house, the first thing I ever planted here in Melbourne. Hopefully they, like us, grow well in this new country of ours. Theresa mentioned she too would start the process of applying. That was even better news for me.
