good morning! yes as some of you regular readers might have noticed, (duh) i didn't update my blog yesterday.. it was a busy day.. I was busy preparing for my lessons which I have to conduct over this and the next week!! like teacher like that man... hehehe... AND my 'monday flu' is back again!! I thought it would be alright in the morning cos it was pretty clear and all.. but apparently not so... cos the rest of the day my nose had a great workout... and the lunch at BK didn't help.. I really think they put like sleeping powder into the burgers man... my bunkmate Allan and I after eating them we were like so sleepy after that... it was like woah... hehehe..

OK better stuff... here's some thoughts of SEABISCUIT! yes i managed to catch it yesterday night... it's a pretty good show with some really really great morals and moments... and it definitely got me thinking... yes it is your typical feel-good movie but it does have its interesting points... I just want to share about this one line that really of course makes the show - its simple, but is so so full of meaning:

"You don't throw a life away just because its banged up a little bit..."
This line was said in 2 instances - one when the trainer managed to rescue a really nice white horse from being put down because its foot was fractured and he managed to treat it, of course not to race again but as a show horse or cart puller yada yada... the 2nd instance was when they discovered that the jockey (Tobey Maguire) was blind in one eye...

How does this apply to us in our walk with God? In the same way, God doesn't look at you and say, "You've been one hell of a devil... lying, cheating scum... you deserve to go to hell!!" NO! God looks at us, in our hearts with all love and grace and tells us, "Hey, it doesn't matter what you are now, or what you were before... I sent my only Son to die for you, to cleanse you of all your sin, so that there's no need to feel guilty or inferior or unworthy. As long as you believe in Me and my Son with all your heart, I will come in and be with you and give you a second chance!"

So great is the love of God that He's willing to do all this for us... and oh how the heavens rejoice when just one turns his eyes to Jesus and receives Him as Saviour... thank you Lord for the awesome gift of salvation...

"So help me God! To put my faith in You... So help me God! before I come unglued... call it my addiction I can't get enough of You so help me God! to put my faith in You!"
- "So Help Me God"
