a message that i wrote read like this, unusually in CAPS:
CYN, BS AT VERA'S 1 PM @ [ADDRESS DETAILS] . C YA!
not so much about the message, but how it's delivered and then received. the response that i got:
Ok! ok! I get it! The capital letters u've used are screaming at me. It's scary.
as a matter of urgency, i got the reply at 5 am the day we were to meet.
there you go ;)
quoting below from John Chapman's book of Know and Tell the Gospel [p126] - published 1998:
"Research done recently in the church growth movement has highlighted the fact that the average Christian has 'lost' most of his non-Christian friends within five years of becoming a Christian. There are some very good reasons why this takes place, but often we exclude our old friends by our new 'exclusiveness'. Since we know this is so, we must take positive steps to find ways to reverse the trend. To take steps to join non-church organized groups will not only give us contact with new non-church members, but will also give us new insights into the way non-churchgoers think about life. Without firsthand knowledge we tend to make assumptions, which are often wide of the mark. Such activities will take up a considerable amount of time and we may need to review our program to allow the time for it. Often we have been so busy at church activities that we have allowed no time to be with people. "
lacking sleep. coughing. drowsy. bloated. constipated. temporal disorientation. hardly concentrating. ..an exam!
thank God for challenges. literally, there is a better tomorrow to hope for!
recalling from memory, there was an article published recently, listing the most hit website, and one of them is the http://www.4wisemonkeys.com/ . plus, a while ago, a missed-call with an ID registered, an unknown one however, got into my mobile. so, here is the missing link. eh? read on..
actually darn, the potentially 'missed-call scam' must have cost me approx. $3!
usually, i return miss-calls. so, it got me this time, but not for long. since it sounded fishy, i ended it just as quick.
that's not to say that i have anything to do with gambling, porn, nite clubs, where details are sourced, then sold to another company, and finally ended up in the hands of scammers, apart from the dvd rental companies. think twice next time before giving out personal details easily, it may bite in the future. the golden rule is, there is no such thing as free lunch..
something is being done fortunately. just to amuse myself, could it be that telemarking these days is just as much hated as the pratices of witchcraft back those days?
p.s. reflecting further, many cases just confirm that human just can't possibly rely on themselves to survive. we try to rule society according to our ways, but laws always have loop-holes to be abused by others who are just as imperfect as us. besides, who could you trust these days?
not really.. just because today is 06.06.06
haven't read it. perhaps later today.
below is a reply from a friend having read a short article from christianitytoday re the Da Vinci Code.
it was a while ago. before, the whole thing developed over the coffee conversations. last resort, keep praying for the person and be open (word and action). in reply, i wrote a short summary of the gospel.
I personally think that the answer to lifes questions regarding this and other related matters will only be answered at the end of life. It should not be possible for man to know the absolute truth of all these issues but instead, play on the ideas of the faith that they believe due to the flaws of mankind such as deception and gullability that exists in humans. That is not to say that the da vinci code IS correct, but more of the realization that there can be a small and remote possibilty of it happening due to the lack of current and credible evidence and the deficiencies of humans. But in the end, I think you should do what you believe is best.
But What man kind should worry about is not on what or who might be waiting on the otherside, but what can be done to ensure the survival of current existance of mankind and for the generations that follow.
