Hi all!!! Yup, gotta agree with Angela that this blog's quite dead. Let's spice it up!!!
Really encouraged that all of you prepared your work and Vic and Nette actually "discussed" an issue in class. Hope to see the whole class "arguing" soon.
Have been thinking of many things.. free wa.. nothing to do. Many times, we think that God imposes so many rules on us to control us. That's probably because humanly, when we see our parents putting rules in our lives, we think they are control freaks. But if we were to take time to think through those rules, we'll probably be able to see that they are meant to protect us (though many times we wish they know that we CAN protect ourselves). If our parents do not want us to talk on the phone too much, it's because they want us to spend our time more productively - for eg, reading the Bible, studying, (Gotta admit that parents think that we are gossiping or having senseless conversations when we talk on the phone). Well, perhaps letting them know what we're talking about will help??? If they do not want us to take part in too many "church activities", it's because they are afraid that we may be too tired due to insufficient rest? If they want us to reach home early, it's because they're worried that something may happen to us (After all, we are BEAUTIFUL and ATTRACTIVE girls). No matter how we feel abt human rules, let's not rationalize God's rules and commands. He's definitely not a control freak.
