I may not be able to understand how you feel because I am fortunate enough by God’s grace to be born without any disabilities. But I want you to know that you are one of the strongest person I know. Although you have so many phyisical disabilities, they don’t stop you from doing what you want to do. Everytime I read your writings, I feel very encouraged.

Being a Christian itself is a very long and ardous journey, what more being a good Christian. I myself am not baptised and I’m already finding it hard not to be tempted by the devil and other factors surrounding me. But I know for sure that the Lord is watching over us all the time. Every obstacle that he gives us is a test of our endurance. We may think that we fail, but we are never a failure in His eyes.
Don’t feel discouraged Peter…you have gone very far…take care :)

I am not discouraged but embarrassed by all the accolades about my strength and gusto and spirit. I began this blog neither expecting nor desiring all those. I wish all will share in my journey without the backslapping and kudos lest I become bigheaded.

A Christian journey is not only a lifelong journey but a way of life. We may stumble and we may fall but never ever forget to ask for strength, forgiveness and direction. Only He knows what we truly need and dispenses appropriately. May your life as a Christian be filled with His grace and blessings.

You know what I’m going to say. So I won’t repeat myself.

If nothing else, you perk me up each time I see you online.

To tell you the truth, many people live all their lives without really living it. I think you’re someone who lives his life. And that’s a very encouraging thing.

I am able to live life because of Mum and Wuan. They made it easy for me to enjoy and appreciate the finer things in life.

The time is 0329(wee small hours of the morning)
I am so sorry but am replying to a follow up email.
I was about to close your web site and gave it a read. Boy I did not know you were disabled cos my eyes can B E A R L Y open and was trying in vain to contact Fr. Cheah.and first thing I did was write in your comments column…..
Do you know who you remind me off – Joni Eareckson Tada.Do read any of her books. She once had and have had feelings like you Peter time and again.
Once again I shall email you tomorrow and glad I met you today and have a surprise for you.You cannot fathom how happiness(hopefully) may drop by at your doorstep even in the wee small hours of the morning.
Regards,
alfie.
