If that's the person He sees in me, that's the person I'll be

Here are two stories from a sermon by Benny Ho. His sermon was on a different topic which I didn't really listen to. But here are the two stories, and my thoughts (for you to think about). - A true story told from the South-Pacific islands. In that land, it is customary for men to trade their cows for their wives. That means if you want to marry a person, you've got to give them some cows in exchange for their daughter's hand in marriage. If the girl looks very simple, she might just get one cow. If the girl is pretty, she might get two cows. If you're really pretty, you can get up to four cows. There was this girl in the village who looked really really plain and so simple that her father, of course, was expecting a maximum of one cow for his daughter - can get one cow, happy already. But the day came when a rich businessman came and offered eight cows for her hand. And everybody was shocked. They thought this businessman was out of his mind! But something amazing happ...

On the right track

"Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." - Psalm 139:23-24 Ask Him to search you. See if there's anything in you to be surrendered, or used. Don't you want to get out of being stagnant? Don't you want to go higher? He will bring you to a whole 'nother level man. (Hillsong conference people - think Ed Young! Think whole 'nother level with hand actions!) - Thank you Jesus, for Your love to me Thank you Jesus, for Your grace so free I lift my voice to praise Your name Praise You again and again You are everything You are my all - Was writing in my diary - 30th August 07 - wow. End August already! The start of the year didn't seem too long ago. I guess that must mean I'm enjoying myself, because they say that time passes more quickly when you're enjoying yourself. I have learnt that as you find out what you're supposed to do, things...

Come, come. I show you my office space... That's the space in front of me. Us sitting around this area contribute to it. Every now and then, a new interesting object is added. The My Little Pony, Pinocchio, Shrek ears and dinosaur are from Mac Donald's Happy Meals. Did you use to have those erasers with flags of different countries on them? :D - Jeremy Riddle is quite a good sound.

ST Forum: SIA, stop price discrimination against single travellers

Seems like there will be more posts on ridiculously funny things people complain about as I read the online forum of The Straits Times (aka letters not worth publishing in the paper :/ Okay sorry that sounded mean but heh. srsly. :D ) SIA, stop price discrimination against single travellers WITH online booking and e-ticketing, I cannot fathom why Singapore Airlines (SIA) continues to charge higher fares for single travellers. Whether it is one person or two people travelling, it makes no difference in terms of administrative cost, since it is the traveller who does the booking online and printing of the e-ticket. For a return ticket to Auckland, it costs the single traveller about $450 more than what it will cost him if he books the ticket jointly with another traveller. It will surely benefit SIA to stop practising price discrimination against the single traveller as many single travellers like myself would definitely consider flying with our national carrier when this policy is chang...

Straits Times Forum, Online letter Commuters lost balance when train braked suddenly I was onboard the MRT train travelling towards Raffles Place from Yishun MRT Station on Aug 22. The whole journey seemed to be smooth. However, when the train was approaching Raffles MRT station, it braked suddenly, causing some commuters to lose their balance and some others fall. Did the controller of this MRT Carriage 2217 know how dangerous it was to the commuters? Due to this incident, I sprained my leg and had to seek my own medical treatment. All these incidents could be prevented if the controller of the MRT trains is alert and exercises caution when approaching the station. Warrow. Best sia. So you think the train driver likes to anyhow brake for fun so you all will have many many shocks while on a train ride is it. -_-" I think it just goes to show how selfish people are, thinking about themselves only. geeee. So someone, whom I think the write would click well with, comments in this way...

God still chooses to use me

Sometimes I look at a person and see many faults, and I wonder how God can still use them, especially if greatly. And I am reminded that I, too, have my imperfections but God still chooses to use me. His grace is enough, and His power is made perfect in my weaknesses.
