Saturday, 4/22/2006 07:47:00 PM, Rain Rain
It has been raining for so many days, maybe even weeks.Notice the trend?It always rains in the evening,after a hot and sunny day. I prefer rain to sun.But i wont like it when im outside cos i will have to think how i would be going back. On wednesday,i went jogging with eunice at 9plus.I wanted to cycle too.So i cycled to the park near our house.My bike tyre was almost flat so i walked with eunice to the bicycle shop near her hse to pump air, but it was closed when we went there.Then, we parted.I had to cycle to another bicycle shop that is nearer to my house.As i was cycling halfway,it started raining.Gosh!There wasnt any shelter nearby and i wanted to get home asap.Dont want to waste time outside stoning.So i had to speed.As i was cycling, my eyes was focused in the front,and i didnt see the puddles of water on the ground.So u know what happened rite?My shorts was totally wet when i reached home.The white shirt that i was wearing had brown spots - water dripping from the trees that i passed by.
On friday,eunice and i went swimming after giving jasmine bs.The deep pool was crowded.Kids who were having lessons were in the deep pool instead of the teaching pool.No fun swimming in the medium pool!But we hadnt any choice.I kept banging into people who were swimming in another direction. Usually people will swim the length of the pool but most of the people there were swimming the breadth instead.Very irritating cos i had to stop each time they banged into me!I wanted to swim 20laps non-stop.They could hav stopped when they could see that i was swimming into their direction. My googles were quite blur in the cold water so i couldnt really see them.
It started pouring when we were swimming.But we didnt have to get out of the pool as there wasnt lightning. =) I have not swam in the rain for a very long time!
Today,i tot i was late,so i cycled to the tamp int to meet my friends.But jingyi was even later than i was.Though i reached at 2pm sharp.After cell, we went subway to hav dinner.The food there was savoury.It was raining when we went home. Remembering that i cycled to the interchange, i realised that i had to collect my bike when i went home cos i may not go to the interchange when i go home tomorrow. My poor bike was drenched cos there wasnt any shelter when i collected it.Jingyi had to take bus 21 from the bus stop that i will pass by. So Jingyi and i pushed the bike to the place where we both parted.Then, my bike seat was wet again.So much for drying the seat when i collected it!Caught in the rain while cycling again!

Finished watching da chang jin. 24Dvds,2 hrs plus each.Borrowed from my mother's friend.It's currently showing on channel u. She married min zheng hao and had a kid. who behaves like her,in the end.Very interesting show.How she persevered and managed to clear her mother's and her niang niang's names.Her niang niang was her mother's good friend.They were accused of things that they did not do.They were killed.All the deeds of the cui family.But good triumphed evil.People around her praised her in the end. Zheng liao bu qi! She was a very good cook and doctor.She was always so brave to stand out for her values that she hold so strongly to.The king ordered the people to call her da chang jin.
Still thinking of what i should do for the rest of the holidays.Starting school on 24April.Fast right?Been slacking at home.Should do more profitable things for the rest of the time. Good friday is tml.The day Jesus was crucified.He died to save us, that the bondages of sins will be broken, to give us victory in every trials and tribulations that we face. He then rose again on the 3rd day, giving us hope that we will have a new body when Jesus returns.

If anyone was ever worthless, this one was. If any man ever deserved dying, this man probably did. If any fellow was ever a loser, this fellow was at the top of the list.
Perhaps that is why Jesus chose him to show us what he thinks of the human race.
Maybe this criminal had heard the Messiah speak. Maybe he had seen him love the lowly. Maybe he had watched him dine with the punks, pickpockets, and potmouths on the streets. Or maybe not. Maybe the only thing he knew about this Messiah was what he now saw: a beaten, slashed, nail-suspended preacher. His face crimson with blood, his bones peeking through torn flesh, his lungs gasping for air.
Something, though, told him he had never been in better company. And somehow he realized that even though all he had was prayer, he had finally met the One to whom he should pray.
“Any chance that you could put in a good word for me?” (Loose translation.)
“Consider it done.”
Now why did Jesus do that? What in the world did he have to gain by promising this desperado a place of honor at the banquet table? What in the world could this chiseling quisling ever offer in return? I mean, the Samaritan woman I can understand. She could go back and tell the tale. And Zacchaeus had some money that he could give. But this guy? What is he going to do? Nothing!
That’s the point. Listen closely. Jesus’ love does not depend upon what we do for him. Not at all. In the eyes of the King, you have value simply because you are. You don’t have to look nice or perform well. Your value is inborn.
Period.
Think about that for just a minute. You are valuable just because you exist. Not because of what you do or what you have done, but simply because you are. Remember that. The next time someone tries to pass you off as a cheap buy, just think about the way Jesus honors you…and smile.
I do. I smile because I know I don’t deserve love like that. None of us do. When you get right down to it, any contribution that any of us make is pretty puny. All of us—even the purest of us—deserve heaven about as much as that crook did. All of us are signing on Jesus’ credit card, not ours.
And it also makes me smile to think that there is a grinning ex-con walking the golden streets who knows more about grace than a thousand theologians. No one else would have given him a prayer. But in the end that is all that he had. And in the end, that is all it took.
No wonder they call him the Savior.
