baq again....

heyaz ppl.... haven't updated for such a long time... guess i had a major cranial meltdown for most of the time in between dis entry n the last... but yes... me brain's more or less baq to normal functionality n i guess nowadays i do haf more time to think abt stuff.... given dat i dun haf much to do after dinner everyday... n the mess is too far away for me to drag me lazy butt juz to catch a show... but i do go once in quite awhile.... well anyway since i do haf more time n more things dat i do tink abt... i would try me best to update as regularly as i can... well i'm hoping i can get the habit of recording down me thoughts during the week... then i can juz pick a few n juz comment on them... but yeah... as i've juz started... pls do bear with the irregularities... shld be updating abt at least once a week...

maybe i'll juz start with a thought timeline for the week... see how things go a long the way... well dunno y but i did start off the week quite badly.. felt tired... felt mentally n emotionally worn out... dunno y.. maybe juz nt resting enuff... maybe juz me body's last bursts of biological changes..... i dunno... but yeah.. waz juz then dat i flipped thru me Bible in camp again... seeing dat i realli had nth to do n nth to lose as well... n well i realli didn't lose out on anything but instead i did gain a renewed sense of appreciation for God's love for us all over again... well here r the few verses dat realli spoke to me heart... frm the book of Romans chap. 5 "6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." well i wasn't feeling down coz i felt guilty abt any sin or anything like dat... but juz knowing the nobility of a deity sacrificing His life n effort for us is reason enuff to be touched real deep in the heart....

well i guess i shan't continue with the timeline... coz it'll take a whole lot of space juz putting in all me thoughts in juz 1 entry... i'll juz take a few thoughts dat i can realli make comments on... n actually do tickle ur brain cells at least a little... therefore i shall omit me selfish thoughts of urs truly...

so i guess i shall touch on the matter on fear... yesh... the most primal of feelings dat touches us deep down in the abyss of our hearts.... n most ppl do thrive on fear... a veri silly way to live but at the same time a stark reality in most ppl's lives.... well it waz an interesting observation i made as i listened in on a conversation among some of me buddies in camp... well.. as an example... someone waz commenting on his reasons for believing in Christianity.. one of them being dat when he heard abt the fact dat non-believers go to hell... he did an investigation into Christianity n believed in the faith... with the thought dat he would believe juz in case this waz realli the case n he realli went to hell... another example would be dat he tried to live his life as sinlessly as he could so dat he will nt receive any punishment frm God for his sins....

i'm juz puzzled as to y fear would become the driving force behind a person's faith in Christ when wat Christianity preaches is living in a spirit of power, love n soundness of mind, void of fear.... itz realli quite a startling irony.... n something i'm quite troubled abt... i do agree dat fear does spark off belief... but at the same time it kills the growth of faith in a person if the focus isn't shifted frm fear to spiritual salvation thru grace..... fear kills growth coz ppl will usually worry abt the issues dat give rise to such fears n then forget the whole point of wat Christianity is abt -- the deliverance frm these exact same fears... itz realli troubling n at the same time mind-boggling y ppl love to dwell in such irony....

well i guess i'll juz leave the entry with juz these 2 thoughts.... coz itz quite a long read n oso i dunno whether me other thoughts r quite relevant.... maybe i'll juz add them in another more appropriate entry in future.... so til the nxt entry... haf fun.. take care n God bless... ^^
