Hey,
I'm feeling good about myself today. I have a super fruitful day. It starts with training today at 730am, follow with my devotion for 3 hours(it seems that God had me think a lot about). It has been a long time that i have devotions that are 3- hours long. I enjoy my devotion today. My devotion was taken outside that great outdoors. Today weather in USJ 11 was super cloudy and windy. It is fun walking around seeing nature at work with my drawing pad and Nike shades. And just letting God move me with His walks with me.
Today as i was walking along my area. God has let me see a squirrel. The squirrel didn't run away cause it didn't see me. What was it doing? It was cracking so nuts, i think. Cause i saw it holding some thing, and banging it on a rock, trying to get something inside. And it was persistent with the nut. It was banging it for long as 10-15 minutes. And it finally got to eat the nut. I guess what God is saying to me that I have to be persistent in what i pursue. God wants me to reach for my Goal. And my Goal now is my education. My devotion is so wonderful today. Love You, God. You answer prays. =)
Besides that I had to meet up with my mom's friend from America. To give me some input on how is going to be like there and to ask him any questions. So i meet him at Starbucks at Taipan with my mom. In Starbucks i meet this girl i know from our church(used to be in our church), the girl name is Vivien, can't remember her surname. She used to come to our church but their parents had some issues, so they went to another church. So we have a small chit chat. But after that i had a chit chat with the America dude. Got so very good input that i need to know. So this guy is helping me to get some friends there to help me out went i get to US with my stuff and to show me around. So he basically hook me up with some friends there, who are studying in that college too. (So i won't feel so alone went I'm there la, hehe).
After that, went to do some errands for my mom, driving her to bank to bank, and collect some stuff from church office. And also forgot to type this. That I'm going to work for Starbucks, yea they were looking for people to work in Taipan, and my mom was telling me that if you work in Starbucks here, and Starbucks all over the world are the same. So want pocket money, you can work in Starbucks cause after you know how to brew the coffee and the technique are all the same all over the world. So is easy for you to work in Starbucks. So have to send in that applications tomorrow. So i guess that you guys can see me work there in Taipan. hehe. But i only work on weekdays. no weekends or public holidays. And I'm taking morning and afternoon shift. So looks like i can only train in the evening.
Then we came home. Didn't feel tired. I did some changes to my blog. And I'm happy about it. Cause i manage to crack some codes. I feel so smart. Okay. This template is rounders 3. And if you use rounders 1-3, you can't change the bottom sidebar background color. The background color is connected with the Page background Header. So i manage to crack it. How i did it. Well it was quite simple. I crack it through using rounders 4. Yes, rounders 4. Rounders 4 the Header and bottom sidebar is not connected. Why i don't i use rounders 4. The reason is that rounders 4 the Page background Header cannot change but the bottom sidebar can. And i don't like that leaf like picture that rounders 4 has for it's Page Header. So i read up the HTML in rounders 4 and cut and paste what rounders 3 don't have. Then TA DA. My blog is different now. YEA YEA. So you see my Page Header and the bottom sidebar color is different. I feel totally smart now. And is a good feeling. Not proud. Just good.
Make quite a bit of changes to my blog, going to do more or should i not? Well see first la. hehe
In the night at 8pm went out for dinner with my friend. Well had a really good conversation and good time together. Going to meet up again, end of the month to visit the our old school. Is great meeting up with old friend. Get to talk about old stuff and still laugh about it.
So this was my day. Really enjoy it. God i pray that You, give me more time in my devotion. I want to spent more time with You. You and You alone. Give me what You want me to know, so i may gain wisdom and knowledge. And to be a powerful leader for You. God give me strength and energy daily and let me be a Powerful Light to shine on Others to show Your Power that You are God and there is no other gods except You. So i commit this prayer on to You, in Jesus name i pray. Amen
Better days,

Too Good an Argument
An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has
with God, The Almighty.
He asks one of his new students to stand and.....
Prof: So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Prof : Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Student : Yes
.
Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him.Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?
(Student is silent.)
Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Is Satan good?
Student : No.
Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From...God...
Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.
Prof: So who created evil?
(Student does not answer.)
Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Prof: So, who created them?
(Student has no answer.)
Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.
Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as cold
Prof: Yes.
Student: No sir.
(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat.
But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat . We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it .
(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light.... But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir
The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.
Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher? (The class is in uproar.)
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)
Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student: That is it sir... The link between man & God is FAITH . That is all that keeps things moving & alive. When you get to your wit's end, you'll find God lives there.
with God, The Almighty.
