Find your own Calcutta

a young agnes left ireland with 3 cents and a call of God to start an orphanage. her superiors told her she couldn’t do it – not with 3 cents. she said her three cents and God would be more than enough, and she left.

some years later, God used this little girl with nothing but the desire to be obedient to God, to be one of the most recognizable faces on the planet and to win a nobel prize for peace.

what made her go? passion.

what kept her? passion.

she got mad. she got sad. and she got glad.

at what she saw.

and then turned that into action.

many a time people would come up to her and ask her how can they make such a difference like she had.

her answer was always the same.

Go find your own Calcutta!

living or giving?

“Jesus blesses us not so that we can increase of standard of living, but to increase our standard of giving“

found this online and i thought it was just hilarious!

the complete works of william shakespeare by the reduced shakespeare company

tonight lyn and i went to watch this at the drama centre. and it was an absolute riot from start to finish. i haven’t laughed so hard and so long in a really really long time. right from the word “go”, the cast of only three (fitting for the reduced shakespeare company no less) had us laughing at slight jests, witty repartee, slapstick moments, impressive improvisation, amazing lines, crazy looks, even a miniature Godzilla toy, antics, and smart dialogue! What an amazing night!

i so recommend this to anyone who has read or was made to study shakespeare in school. You will love what they have done. They’ve brought this production into the 21st century with references to “desperate housewives” , “ipods” and “blackberrys”. And even made it hit home with “to be or not to be, lah! that is singlish!”

funny. amusing. riotous. hilarious. smart. comedy at its best.

i can’t fully find the words to describe my response.

but go watch it. please.
