what is the law for?
Evangelist Fred Brown used three images to describe the purpose of the law.
First he likened it to a dentist's little mirror, which he sticks into the patient's mouth. With the mirror he can detect any cavities. But he doesn't drill with it or use it to pull teeth. It can show him the decayed area or other abnormality, but it can't provide the solution.
Brown then drew another analogy. He said that the law is also like a flashlight. If suddenly at night the lights go out, you use it to guide you down the darkened basement stairs to the electrical box. When you point it toward the fuses, it helps you see the one that is burned out. But after you've removed the bad fuse, you don't try to insert the flashlight in its place. You put in a new fuse to restore the electricity.
In his third image, Brown likened the law to a plumbline. When a builder wants to check his work, he uses a weighted string to see if it's true to the vertical. But if he finds that he has made a mistake, he doesn't use the plumbline to correct it. He gets out his hammer and saw.
The law points out the problem of sin; it doesn't provide a solution.
- Fred Brown
got this thru sis eena's daily bible gems, and i thot it really made sense so i'll share it with you pple :)

the arm's still there
haha..just in case you who are sitting behind a computer screen and reading this message, doesn't know, i'm fine.
op was alright..quite smooth in fact, thank God for seeing me thru it :) lots of funny experiences after though..
first it was after they wheeled me to the ward, me having just recovered from ga and stuff, still groggy and blur and very thirsty. see op was at 12, woke up 1st time at 3, ward by 3.30. so basically drifted in and out of dreamless sleep, waking every 30-40 mins. and what was i waking up for? heh..usually there's a bottle/flask/pot of water by your bedside, but they haven't given it to me yet. so i would open my eyes, look for the pot and if it wasn't there, go right back to sleep. so right ard 5, i woke up and it was there! haha...have never felt more motivated to wake up. so i struggled up and stuff (with one arm it ain't no walk in the park), and then i realised..i can't reach it! AAAAaaaaaaaaaaaHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhh!! luckily, the bed beside mine had some visitors and one of them helped me with it lol. thanks man! :) so happily gulped down water like free..half an hour and many cups later, i had finished almost the entire pot. HEE HEE!
then for the next wierd thing, my mum really seemed to have a good time, cuz with one good arm its hard to feed yourself =P so she ended up feeding me (dinner, ice cream, lunch) and she enjoyed it la. she said it was sth like a 2nd childhood lol. maybe cuz when i was young (or when you are young) your/my mum would feed us and then we would be naughty and stuff and refuse or take our time haha..but it was quite smooth, actually finished my food in like 15-20 mins flat. partly that the dinner that day was not too bad and that i was uber hungry! :P
next up were the visits by jq, sarah tang, william. lol..they came really really late and after visiting hours too heh. talked, had fun poking fun at others (i think that was only me haha..), and luckily no one thot of attackin me in my vulnerable position :P but yeah it was a good time for me :) thanks for the cheer or i'll so bored whiling my time away in there.
anyways me on mc till the 27th, *prays for extension*
update you all..arm's tired already heh :P
btw westin's msn nick is roflmao, "the new Pope's been chosen from China, and his name is Popiah" then while talking he went that he's got it wrong, it should have been, " the new Pope's been chosen from India, and his name is Popadum"
LOL! rofles! =D

tennis got cancelled so...
yup..my last chance to play before thurs and it got rained out and played out :P
sooooo..made an about turn and went for rjc's band concert thingy.. thanks aunty margaret for the tix! :)
anyways it was quite good..didn't regret the rush to get to the esplanade on time (i was 3 mins late - you can't believe that it took 14 mins to get to the city area and 9 mins to turn to esplanade) had nice seats, the accoustics in the place were well the best i've heard..however abit of a deadzone ard the front, missed hearing a couple of instruments esp when the entire band was playing (eg see the instrument being played, but miss the sound)
anyways, silly trivial.. the person who plays a flute is a flutist, the one playing the bass a bassist, what about the one playin the oboe?
(answer in comments!)

analogies of a thinking mind.
came up with an analogy of looking at chasing our dreams which is like,
we're commuters and we all have some money in our ez link cards, we can board the mrt train to our desired (dream) destination, but for most of us, it'll cost too much and we can only stand on the inside and can't leave the station. the twist is that some of us will think of ways to get the money to get out and live our dreams and some of us would just take another train and stop at a destination we desire less and have the fare to go out.
interesting way of looking at things rite?
another analogy of lives and trains is this by junhao (one of my soccer mates),
we cannot board the train we want. like there are express trains, short trains and cheaper trains but we experience different things when we board each one. though the time taken may be different, but we learn different things that are valuable to our lives..
some food for thought :)

nice and stupid
there's a fine line between nice and stupid..i think i'm too stupid to be nice =/ or too nicely stupid..whichever.
also i've no affinity with pools. well to cut the long story short, tennis was great..45 mins of good running and smacking balls with jon's new racket (i want!!) and kang's racket and then after we taupok-ed jon heh.
so after being taupok-ed, logically being the birthday boy, we would throw him into the pool. well he got into the pool anyway..even though we promised him dry shoes and socks, he tried to tussle and well his fault anyway..now here's where the fine line comes.
he asks for help to get out of the pool..so as a nice guy, i would give my hand to him to help him up rite? wrong.. i help him up he pulls me in for his 2nd dip and my first. ;__; best la i got wet shoes and socks laaaaa..shirt and shorts i have but shoes..ughhhh!! anyway for the record, he went in a 3rd time. a personal present from me ;)
