A reflection on the expository preaching given by our Pastor on the Seven Last Words of Christ. During the service, the congregation was led into singing "No Greater Love". I am no singer but I couldn't help meditating on the lyrics of the song that goes,   "You love me, When I was so unlovely, You sought me When I was lost;  You showed me How much You really loved me,  When You bought me At the highest cost. There's no greater love than this, That a man would give his life for a friend; There's no higher sacrifice Than a man would give his life,  You have paid A precious price for me. You chose me,  When I was so unworthy You cleansed me With Your own blood; You clothed me With righteousness and mercy, And You crowned me With Your steadfast love." What greater love, indeed, would allow anyone to lay down his life for a friend? "So high the price He paid..." goes the lyrics of a song the ch...

Translated in English, that means, "Churches in Zurich". Well, this post was inspired by the photos and posts I've seen in Facebook. I know of friends who practice the tradition of visiting churches during the Lenten season. That reminds me of the three famous churches we visited on our 3rd day in the city of Zurich. If you have been with me in  Day 1 in Zurich , this is a sequel. On our 3rd day, after coming out of the Swiss National Museum where we went round and round, lost in the immense historic grandeur of the place, we once again spanned the length of Limmatquai and Bahnhofquai (the streets on both sides of the Limmat River) to Stadthausquai. Within the vicinity we were able to get a closer view of the three famous and major churches for which the city of Zurich is known for. These are the Fraumunster and St. Peter on the western bank and the Grossmunster at the eastern bank of the Limmat River.

As I said in the other post entitled, Walking Down the Street of Zurich: Episode 1 , from the hotel, we crossed to the other side of Pfingstweidstrasse where we saw this view of the two buildings just across.  The Resistance-Renaissance This building is named Resistance

Are you ready for this walk? As I promised in my previous   post , this is going to be a real long walk! Having no ticket to get either a tram, bus or train ride, there was not much choice left but to go on foot. But wait, first make sure you had a sumptuous breakfast! That's exactly what we had... a real heavy breakfast, our first meal in the hotel. Day 2 in Zurich.

In my previous post entitled, " Crocheting Barefoot Sandals ", I featured the Bohemian Barefoot Sandals that I gave away as gifts to my officemates for Christmas last year. The varied reactions I saw among those who received a pair amused me so much. Two months after making the last pair, I ventured on another pair.  Here they are... cute and chic on newly pedicured nails! After crocheting the first pair, I told myself, "These are perfect for our team building event!!" And so I crocheted another pair using a different color... of course, my favorite! Wearing our barefoot sandals at the poolside of  LeBlanc Exclusive Resort LeBlanc Exclusive Resort  is a private resort where we spent a day of rest and recreation. No work, just play! Oh yes, we also enjoyed a soothing foot spa with pedicure and body massage as we had fun, bonding together, talking about anything under the sun--- EXCEPT work! :)  Look, these barefoot sandals can also be...
