Miracle Seed Sunday

"As long as the earth endures,
seedtime and harvest,
cold and heat,
summer and winter,
day and night
will never cease."

As a man reap what he sows,

Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly,
and whoever sows generously will also reap generously

Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness

Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.

Beautiful is the voice of our Lord

"What are you starin' at?"

Be careful where you place your sights!-

An Italian man was given a suspended jail sentence for staring too intensely at a woman sitting in front of him on a train.

A judge sentenced the man in his 30s, whose name was not revealed, to 10 days in prison and a 40 euro ($63) fine after a 55-year old woman filed a complaint for sexual harassment.

His lawyer said on Friday he would appeal the sentence. The two met on two separate occasions in 2005 on a commuter train going from Lecco, a town in northern Italy, to Milan.

The first time, the man sat next to the woman but she felt he had moved too close for comfort.

The next day, the man sat in front of the same woman and according to her complaint, stared at her for the whole journey.

The two did not speak. (reuters)

Barber in New York

As the weekend approaches, I guess it may be a good time for a joke,


There was once a very good barber in NEW YORK, he give Free Haircut to everybody who comes into his shop to have their haircuts.

One day a florist goes to him for a haircut. After the cut, he goes to pay the barber and the barber replies: 'I am sorry. I cannot accept money from you. I am doing community service.'The Florist is happy and leaves the shop.

The next morning when the barber goes to open his shop, there is a thank you card and a dozen roses waiting at his door . A policeman goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the barber after the cut. But the barber replies: 'I am sorry. I cannot accept money from you. I am doing community service.' The cop is happy and leaves the shop.

The next morning the barber goes to open his shop, there is a thank you card and a dozen donuts waiting at his door. A Singaporean software engineer goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the barber after the cut. But the barber replies: 'I am sorry. I cannot accept money from you.. I am doing community service.' The Singaporean software engineer is very happy and leaves.

The next morning when the barber goes to open his shop, guess what he finds there............Can you guess?

A New and Living way

Obituary...

Charlton Heston

This hollywood actor who had played the role of Moses in the epic Ten Commandments and prince Ben Hur in the Oscar winning Judah Ben Hur died on Saturday, April 5, 2008 at his home in Beverly Hills, California with Lydia, his wife of 64 years, by his side. He was 84. The cause of death is currently unknown.

A sense of dejavu came over me over his decease. Even though I had heard of him for a long period of time and also heard of The Ten Commandments, and also the classical epic Judah Ben Hur, I had not seen both for the longest time until last Friday evening. Thus recognising the Choros timing with the event of his passing reminded me of a scene in The Ten Commandments where an old slave who was speared to death by an Egyptian guard said to the Prince of Egypt, Moses with his last breath,

"My prayers had not been answer that I may see I may see the deliever of Israel which God will send before my eyes are shut"

Moses had discovered his birth identity as a Hebrew, and has been made a salve then. Angry at God who had forsaken His people.

Such is the perfect timing, Choros timing. There is a time for everything.. Appointed..

From the Old Covenant of God sealed in His laws with his people in The Ten Commandments, the law brought Death when Moses ( Charlton) Proclaims,

"Those who refuses to LIVE by the law, Shall Die by the law!"

To Judah Ben Hur, who raised 2 legions of fighting men for the Messiah. Praise be to the one most High, "that it is not by the sword that God shall set his peoples free, but by the staff of a Sheppard" (Moses)

Indeed the Messiah did the unthinkable, handling himself over to his enemies, " Laying his life down for his sheeps" For such is His measure of Friendship that, " A Friend will Lay down his Life"

The most foolish plan of Heaven, is wiser still than the most cleverly devised plans from human beings. Indeed a New and Living way has been given to us. A life where our tears are wiped away.

"As for me and my household, we shall Serve the Lord."

A day of Traffic Woes

This day is a day of traffic woes for me. 3 incidents have to happen in a single day. Praise and thanks giving to my protector whom has keep me safe and grant me an ever alert mind.

The first incident happened this early morning. The raod was packed with vehicles, parents sending their children to school just before the school bell rings at 7:30. Coming to a junction sliproad just before reaching the expressway, 10 mins before ERP starts operating. So I was .. making good speed.

Ahead of me was a taxi, stopping right close to the edge of the road. My guess was that I should be able to slip in between the taxi and the road. So I slowed my vehicle, edging pass on the left side of the taxi. Just then, my bike slipped, on the slip road. My bike happened to be on mud and the nud had given way. Thus my bike ended up "dropped" in the direction of the taxi. Another bike rode by an NS man close behind me sretched to a stopped. He got down and help lift up my heavy bike.

So there I was, bike ok. Man ok. I swear the taxi was not a skretch "injured". Then quickly, I steadied myself and get ready to go on again. Then the taxi driver came, demanded that the taxi was damaged. So I got off, turned around and smile at him, proceeding to look at the taxi. Indeed! just some dirt caused by my box when the bike "fell onto the taxi".

" Wah uncle, alright what your taxi, not even a scratch" I said

" You call this not a scatch? You have to pay for this!" He was busting but don't for wad

Then I turned around, return to my bike and took a piece of clothe and come back to "clean" his taxi.

"Wah uncle, just use water, then WD 40 and wipe can already" I said.

" U Crazy ah, this one suppose to get ppl to polish and wax" the taxi driver exeggerate.

At this time, I was really getting very amused. He seems like he wants to take the opportunity and send the whole taxi for an overhual.

"No lah uncle, this one easy to clean one, you want you give me your number, I come and clean for you" I replied.

Now this time, he finally said out what is on his mind: " No, you must compensate me $20, I'll go and ask someone to wax it"

Biangs, this guy really think I was born yesterday sia. " No lah , I will not pay you, sorry for causing your delay ah" then I walked towards my bike.

As if a last ditch of effort, the taxi driver: " Wait! you wait!"

" Yes? Anything else I can help you?"

" I want to take down your registration number"

"ok You go ahead loe" I answered. Then I moved off after he drove away

Opportunist? lol... Praise the ONE who gave me wisdom to see through this "thief" and have the right words to say to rebuke him! Hopefully he let the matter rest... otherwise, if any complains should arise, NTUC will immediately cease his $1000 deposit with the company without question and if accident, he will face tough penalties with the company. Yet he wants to ask for compensation!

.. Wah.. one story already so long..

Just compress the next 2:

Wanted to avoid rain and traffic,
Intentionally came back late
Yet the road is still congested
Even at 9:00pm

Many vehicles lies on the shoulders,
Looks like many accidents had happened
Roads in Singapore is getting packed
Riding ain't safe at all
