Demolition Man


I watched this movie recently. It was starred by x and y. The background is year 2032. The community is straightly controlled. No flirt languages, no seasoning on food, no kiss, no sexual intercourse. Police have no experience to fight against crime because there are no crime for last 20 years. There is no choice on restaurant because it is controlled. People have no choice on food because of health control. Couples enjoy sexual pleasure using visual reality devices to avoid disease.

The movie remind me of my old question against Christianity. (Genesis 2:16-17) And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."

I think God have the choice to create a perfect world without sin. He can create man such a way that man is not possible to sin. However, this is equivalent to create machine. God want to create living man with free will. He did give warning that certain action is no good but harmful. All is our choice. We should be grateful to have choice or else can you imagine how boring?

After Resignation

I felt very weird after resignation. To describe the feeling, I would say like a person knowing that he has cancer and going to die very soon.

I started to interact with the people around me, started to join lunch session, started to tell joke, started to have a short chat and concern other people condition and feeling. Before resignation, I had focus all my strength and time on my work. I regret because I wasted so much time to make wonderful friend around. I started to enjoy the companion of the people around, started to feel like a human being instead of a working machine.

Please appreciate the companion of the people around. You may miss their smiley face for a long period of time or forever.

Evangelic fund raising campaign


My church are organizing old newspaper collection campaign. I have plenty of old newspaper at home. Before going to church, I needs to bring all old newspaper from my 5th floor apartment to my car. The point is my apartment has no lift. It took my 5 trips to finish all the old newspaper. On the way, I was thinking to ask my neighbor for their old newspaper but I failed to do so because I do not really know all of them. The money gained from the campaign will be used for evangelic ministry at Pakistan.

The next Sunday, children below 10 years old are organizing a game to raise evangelic fund too. They make a big net and filled the net with a lot of plastic balls. People who give a dollar will have a chance to guess the number of ball in the net. The winner will bring back home a standing lamp. What a wonder effort make by them.

Job Resignation

After working 7 months with my current employer, one day, a friend of mine just appear in my life and invite me for a job interview. The interview went well. The company decided to employ me. I have a new job offer now. Considering the opportunities and the pay, I decided to resign. The resignation went well too. Everything went just well beyond my expectation and preparation. The feeling is like following a path which is well-prepared. All these things happen within a week. I am amazed and a little lost.

After the first interview, I give 15% more on my tithe. The result is I get 15% more on my current salary. I know God is faithful and accurate before I give because I experience this 2 times before.

(Malachi 3:9-11) You are under a curse—the whole nation of you—because you are robbing me. Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not cast their fruit," says the LORD Almighty.
