still hanging on despite trials
go get a life you say
i've got one too fast for my liking
i m speeding
my ex- BS leader decided that we do Ecclesiastes
i m gonna meet up with my ex BS gp *Spices* for a retreat
on 18.8.07. Meanwhile
i got to do my homework and read thro the bk of Ecc
The msg of Ecc is brutally straightforward so saidth my bible
Soloman tells us he has tried everything life has got to offer
- wine, women and song the ancient equivalent of
= drugs, sex and metal rock
His conclusion:
Fear God and listen to Him, for this is everyone's duty.
The reality of living, aging and dying,reminds us
God will judge each person's life
Life is so short. We need a wisdom
greater than what this world has to offer
If we listen we will be spared the bitterness of a meaningless life
In other words God gives meaning to our lives.
No God, no meaning.
Without God,
I am molecules thrown tog by chance
I am headed into nothingness
I might as well be a lizard, a rock, or a watermelon
if there is no God
Living like there is no God?
Like a hamster on a treadmill?
Great workout miserable life going nowhere.
The search for meaning for every soul
Will ultimately end with the same conclusion as Soloman
Even with pleasure, wealth and success
life without God is meaningless
I makes me feel better now
I need not strive and chase after wealth fame and popularity
I should enjoy my material possessions
My God given abilities efforts and wisdom..(ho, ho)
The sound basis for my living is
My faith in the God who loves and understands me
I have only managed to read a chapter.
So long. I mean good bye for now.
unti + God is in my equation. Praise God.

8.7.2007
Today we celebrated our Youthfulness
with a song 'One in Vision One in Christ'
I was impressed that every one of you turned up for the rehearsal
that was great Diana, an achievement to garner such united support
Wenxin and Frederick thks for providing the rat-tat-tat
We missed you Kel and of course your signatory to our beautifully
bounded notebook. Tks to Edgar.
So guys bring your notebooks for the missing one to thumb print.
Tks Terence Lee for your icey cream. You are so thoughtful and we love you.
Can we love you more? with a repeat?
Maybe ah lao is right. We had a talk by Albert Lee from RBC/daily bread
You guys are a trifle young to appreciate the notion of such a title
Today Albert Lee not only taught me things about being a parent
He taught me things about being a person.He was hilarious and could hold a captivating audience
even when it was so late in the day
He is really hard to come by.
He travels often and he travels the world to preach
Truly and well said,Albert
God made us to be relational creatures, we cant run from that
1.the meaning of life is in relationships 2.the purpose of life is in servicethe eg he gave: if someone is on the verge of ending one's life..because
he sees no meaning in life as he takes the lift to the top floor
to dissuade the suicidal intention
the police will quickly ask him to recall his loved ones,
to think of his closest relations
They will reiterate that there are these people who love him v much.
They will never concur with him that he's got no one left to live for.
Parents should encourage their children to serve.
That gives them a purpose in life to be useful
I do so much for mine, it sends the msg that they are useless
I get listless if I find myself unproductive
of course i like to slack do zero day dream
O i have also done marathon TV
but it can only be so much
i get bored doing just nothing but thinkg of myself.
God created us with a purpose to be useful.
When children are young we talk to them about God
When children are old we talk to God about you
thinking of all of you by name
With love
