Last week was free week for me.
What a week! What news!
On Mike Guglielmucci:I bet there are more than a million blogs on him!
I feel that how Christians handle this issue will show the world what we're really made off.
Do we practice what we preach on what to do when a fellow believer has fallen, do we practice what we preach on forgiveness, do we practice what we preach on judging and do we practice what we preach on sin.
I would like to link to my pastor's blog on this issue :
An Appeal For Grace...Yes some people are disappointed, perhaps some of us need to take a look at our own faith. As I was doing my devotions last week, this was what was written for the day:
The great cathedrals of Europe are not only breathtaking but intriguing in their architecture. Because their massive ceilings were too heavy for the walls to support, flying buttresses, or external extensions, were built to support the expansive roofs.
Although we are “the temple of the living God” (2 Cor. 6:16), I wonder if we are not more like these cathedrals, with buttresses of external influences holding us up while we remain weak at the core. Pastors, friends, rules, books, and small groups are helpful to support and bolster our faith. But if we depend too heavily on them, they can actually distract us from developing a healthy heart for God.

The same can be said of Big Christian Personalities. Is my faith really based on my faith/trust in Jesus, or on their faith, sayings, preaching and ideas about Jesus?
This incident is also a good examples to all believers to check our own lives. Are we hiding secret sins that needs to be dealt with? I'm sure we have to deal with sins in our lives daily.
1 John 1:
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
On Malaysia and Dato Seri Anwar winning the Permatang Pauh by-election:Whether or not he delivers what he promise will be closely watch by all Malaysians.
Is a September 16 government change possible? Read an article here:
16 Sept: D-Day?I bet lots of youth don't even remember what significance does 16 Sept 1963 hold. I'm not going to tell you... I expect you to know ;) Find out if you don't.
Anyway, regardless of the person, I think we should not put all our faith in a leader just because he promises something. We should also be ready to accept that any leader can fall and should move on to using our power to vote to place somebody who is righteous into power. If we do not exercise our power to decide, we have also decided the winner irresponsibly.
Yes while our excuse may be: "It's no difference who's in power, they are all the same", I believe they are not the same, and status quo will remain because of this attitude, hence there's no change, and we'll never see a change and never expect a change. We become apathetic, and we rot together with whoever we allow to rot the nation (if it rots).
On CoolirisBtw, I just installed an add-on to Firefox 3.0. It's call cooliris. Really cool add-on:
It arranges pictures of websites which support it like a multi television displays.
Click on the pictures to see a 1280 x 800 resolution. They're not large files.
1) This is how you can browse... Just use you mouse to click and move it.
2) On mouse-over the pictures you can see the URL
Click on the picture and it zooms in.
Before:
After:
You can use it with search engines like Yahoo, Google, and even plays Youtube videos.
There is also the slide show feature which is quite cool.
Cooliris is cool!!!
You can google it or go to
Cooliris.
p/s: This is my first blog with pictures... Yay! Broke the monotony of a text blog.
