Singapore

Seven hour flight from Adelaide today.

Hot.
Humid.
Crowded with people.
Streets busy.
Markets.
Clean.
Courteous, gentle people.

Singapore.

I have only a short stop here. Too bad, it looks like an interesting city to explore. Did go to St. Andrew's Anglican Church for evening service tonight. This was a miracle service, the third the evangelist priest had led today. He read emailed testimonials of people thirsting for Christ and finding Christ. Praise choruses were led by two vocalists and several instrumentalists. Slow, repetitive, droaning. Many people stood with arms raised up, eyes closed, swaying. Others were asleep or reading books. I attended a service in Adelaide that had similar music and theology. It was packed with young couples and children. I'm obviously missing something.

Down South Bridge Road I kicked my sandals in the pile by the door and went into a Hindu Temple. Incense. Colour. Music. Teeming with people of all ages. Prayers. Candles. Offerings. It was alive with energy and faith.

Hmmm . . .

Back track tomorrow 2 1/5 hours to the Indonesian island of Bali.
