The fellowship of Koinonia

Koinonia means fellowship - an anglicisation of a Greek word for partnership - frequently used in the New testament of the bible - ah that dear community of Christians coming together.

here's to all who came and participated in this fellowship (:

thanks for dropping by after all the busy choir/frisbee sessions. haha it was a gesture of love that we will never forget. may God hold us together in unity and love!

(silence) --- (did i forget anyone?)

I guess everything went smoothly in the end
but as always, when the dust did settle
a lonely night followed me home
and an empty Friday to come
learning loneliness -
perhaps that's
God's way
now.

i'm sorry, the emotions are too hard to control - again.
