This morning, brother Jeff Teo sent me an sms to inform me that Glenn Ong and Jamie Yeo have decided to go their separate ways. My response was one of disbelief and that it was probably a publicity stunt that Glenn was trying to pull on the radio. Jamie herself also blogged about some pretty "controversial" stuff.
They are considered a "celebrity couple" like Darren Lim and Evelyn Tan or Daniel Ong and Jaime Teo, and as a result, are under immense scrutiny by the public.
And all the more so when both of them have been seen at NewCre regularly, and with NewCre being increasingly in the limelight and scrutiny of late.
I read the article with a tinge of sadness. Surely, those who have had the benefit of feeding on the true and unadulterated Word of God should have blessed and sound marriages, no?
And then I realised that it is times like these that we should examine upon whom do we place our faith on. Jesus is our perfect example and not mortal men. Even the disciples who spent 3 years day-in day-out with Jesus failed Him, what less someone who feeds on Him just once a week.
Let us keep Glenn and Jamie in our prayers. They should not be made to feel condemned.
On this Valentine's Day, let us celebrate the greatest love of all, as typified in Song of Songs between the lover and the beloved, ie. Jesus and His bride.
I thank God also for my Prov 31 woman, whom God first brought into my life in July 1988 as my classmate in NTU, and with whom I exchanged vows four years later on 21 November 1992.
Here is the 1st ever photo that we took together 20 years ago, courtesy of fellow classmate Eik Pin. He was staying just down the road from my wife, and had invited a few of us over for Chinese New Year. Halfway, he lured us out into the backyard and took this photo of us. It was in February 1989, 5 months before we officially became a couple.
The fact that he happened to have his camera with him and no other classmate was in the photo was all planned, by the way ;-)
Also, the background may have been quite an awful sight (what with the faded wall, planks of wood and run-down pipes), but I had the photo framed nonethless because in the foreground was the most awesome sight to me.
HAPPY V-DAY DEARIE!

Yes! Just like Pastor Prince delivered an awesome sermon on the 1st Feb, where certain part he touches on marriage with respect and love, and the power to get wealth vested in the union of husband and wife in truthfulness to each other.
I certainly hope it's just a publicity stunt, then again, they are still the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, and there is therefore no condemnations, Amen.
Shalom Shalom,

Frankly, thus far I don't see or hear any good reasons given for splitting. What they lack is commitment to each other. I hope they should sit down and reflect it over and not consider marriage so lightly.
