Yup, the long list lists many people, and I guess what struck me was what these people have done. Heroes of the faith so to speak. Veteran believers. Which got me thinking about this whole Unshakeable year. I guess many of us wouldn't qualify to be on Paul's greeting list. The early church suffered, and hence there were heroes of the faith. People who shared jail cells, churches that had to meet in houses cuz they were no longer welcomed publicly. I guess this is going back to what Christianity really is. The full message of love and grace of God coupled with the discipline and hard work that is expected of a soldier n God's army.

I would want my life to count for something like that in the end of Romans 16. To be remembered not for my great contributions, but who I was in Jesus. I know it's pretty hard to separate the two because being close to God also involves action because God has unfinished work, but I guess it's the kind of person that I want to be remembered for. And all this nice talk about wanting to be remembered will just be nice talk unless I make steps to level up in 2010.

Yup, that's it for now. A day of emails, repainting gate and recooking green curry awaits me! LoL too hopefully with Amanda!
