One Year Of Blogging!
Time flies! I had been blogging for one year already.
I can still vividly recall my first entry. I drafted it out to some of my friends and got them to review it first. I was trying so hard to be pre-believer friendly that it came out so very strange. Even if I can still find that draft copy, I dare not even post it! It is just too embarrassing.
I remembered setting very clear objectives for my blog. I had wanted to use it to influence others towards God. I hope that through blogging my everyday life, I am able to inspire and encourage more to move towards and closer to Jesus and His church.
Instead of trying to think too hard on what I should blog, I reckoned that it should flow out of my everyday living. It should be as authentic and non-pretentious as possible.
Now 12 months later, I hope that this blog has achieved what it had set out to do.
One of the highest highs was when a pre-believer wrote to me and asked me to share with him about Jesus after he chanced upon this blog. One of the lowest lows was when someone posted a vulgar comment that I had to remove.
Looking back, I want to really thank many of you who had taken the time to post a comment, ask a question, give a feedback or affirm a truth. I treasure every one of your input. It means a lot to me.
At this point, I would also like you to suggest and give me any feedback that would make this blog more attractive and useful. I will do my best to improve whatever that I can.
Mucho Gracias!

PJ, use a webcam and doa video blog.. hahaha
Cool rite...
Ya... I recalled you mentioned in one of your evax sermon that you actually recorded yourself sharing your last words in preparation for your funeral wake.
Viewing that here would be cool =p
Thanks JX and Andrew for the ideas. I will need to go and learn on how does one post this webcam & video thing in the blog.
As I am not a very high tech person, I would need help in this. I have noticed that many blogs have video postings and they do seem very interesting.
actually I also kena vulgar language before, and that was twice lah. I guess the kind of content you are blogging, it tends to attract such comments :)
Congrats on your 1st anniversary of blogging!! :)
Ps Jeff,
You are great the way you are BECAUSE you let yourself be who GOD made you to be - real, authentic and unpretentious. And that's why I think you are one of the most impactful preacher-teachers we're blessed to have. Thank GOD for you, a courageous and GOD-loving minister and brother in CHRIST :)

I will do my best to be an even greater blessing to all.
about webcast or v-blog, you have my number ps jeff. i'll do what i can to help enhance your blog.
Hey pastor!
Since you ask for feedback... =)
Perhaps it would be good if you placed links to other websites and blogs you are interested in. Hence this blog would be like a "dead end" where people will have to press the back button to go another website.
Yep! Anyway, don't be so bother about the vulgar comments. I posted several apologetics post on my blog. One of them actually got feature (aka dissected n shot) by the athetist community on their online website. Haha. Just take it with a bit of salt i guess. Either raise a revival or a riot right? Haha.
Thanks HT for the offer and welcome back!
Hi Zach, noted on your feedback. Will work on this when I have more time next week...
great blog!
Hi, thanks for your effort in blogging/reaching out to us through this avenue.
It's encouraging and inspiring to see your perserverance in doing God's will.
I'm not a high-tech person too. And can't think any off hand now. haha, so not much feedback for now. The other's feedback seems great.
