Kemarin malam, pertemuan Kesan hari Rabu seperti biasanya menjadi tidak biasa karena diadakan di Thai Palace Resto di bilangan Dago atas. Memang diadakan disana atas permintaan sepasang pasutri yang adalah ketua Kesan kami, yaitu Pak Budi dan Ibu Lanny yang ingin merayakan ulang tahun pernikahan ke 30. Woooow. Kami baru mau mulai tahun pertama pernikahan kami sedangkan mereka sudah mencuri start :-) 30 tahun yang lalu…

To cut things short, mereka meminta saya untuk menjadi worship leader di acara itu. Saya langsung mengatakan siap karena jadwal yang seharusnya adalah saya yang memimpin edifikasi, tapi berhubung dengan acara khusus anniversary ini, saya pikir saya tidak dalam kapasitas untuk membagikan hal itu. Jadi mereka mengundang Pak Petrus Nawawi untuk menyampaikan kebenaran Firman Tuhan disana, didampingi istrinya.

Ketika waktunya tiba kami akan berangkat ke Thai Palace, hujan terus mengguyur kota Bandung, tidak seberapa deras, tapi ketika kami sudah ditengah jalan, hujan semakin deras dan mau tidak mau kami harus menembus rintangan air ini. Sebetulnya papi mertua hari kemarin juga berulang tahun, sehingga kami agak sedikit kurang enak juga meninggalkan mereka dirumah yang merayakan dengan makanan yang yummy juga, ada sop iga, ikan tongkol bumbu dll.

Acara kemarin berlangsung cukup seru. Saya bawakan dengan santai dan penuh canda tapi tetap penuh wibawa. Ada kesaksian hidup pernikahan yang dibagikan, ada juga feedback dari dua orang anggota kesan yang saya minta untuk bersaksi, ada toast anggur, pemotongan kue dll. Semuanya itu menjadi suatu rangkaian yang bagus dan nyambung. Pak Petrus membagikan kebenaran FT dari Efesus 5:18-21 tentang hendaklah kita penuh dengan Roh, berkata-kata dalam bermazmur, kidung puji-pujian dll agar kehidupan pernikahan kita langgeng dan menjadi berkat buat orang lain.

Senang rasanya bisa melayani Tuhan di pertemuan Kesan kemarin. Betapa Tuhan sudah begitu baik bagi mereka dan mereka rindu untuk membagikan apa yang mereka sanggup lakukan buat kami juga disana. Tidak murah makanan yang disajikan, ada hadiah juga yang mereka berikan. Semuanya itu saya percaya akan kembali kepada mereka dengan berlipat kali ganda. Saya percaya itu.

      Back in the sad ol’ days of the v1.0 API, everytime any site using it loaded the script, a database call was made to pull a fresh quote from the Quotes on Design archives. It worked, but it was slow and clearly not going to scale well. Version 2.0 was put together to solve [...]

    • Fix Padded Image Links with Negative Margins November 16, 2009
      This is a pretty basic trick that will be obvious to many of you. But for whatever reason, the solution to it always kind of eluded me so I’m sharing it here. I like padded links. Where you give links in body content a little padding, background, and rounded corners. a { padding: 2px 6px; [...]

      I originally wrote this over two years ago. It was getting a little long in the tooth, especially now that HTML5 has come along and made HTML far more beautiful than even XHTML 1.1 was. So I updated it! I can’t help but view source on every nice looking website I see. It’s like if you [...]

If you are in the on time or early crowd, congrats! That means you are really good at estimating project completion times. For the [...]
