A friend of mine just lamented, “Life is pointless”
Sometimes the frustration of not seeing the purpose in life is overwhelming .
Going around in a circle,
eat and drink and work…
Looking for more work to feed the family,
so that they can eat and drink
and so that the children can have an education.
Having got the education,
the children will work
so that they can eat and drink and what more???
“What is the point of all these?”
We go around looking and searching for
our life purpose or our purpose in life.
Are we living or just existing?
If we look within ourselves, will we find it?
If we look around us, is it there?
Why on earth am I here?
God put us here, ask God!
Yes that’s RIGHT!
ASK GOD!
Why don’t you ask Him today?
A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work.
This too, I see, is from the hand of God, for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment?
Ecclesiastes 2:24-25
Post Script :
He has also given us the manual, it’s call the Bible.
Take it up, and read.
Still don’t understand the purpose of your life…
Talk to someone who talks to GOD daily…

Life is so GOOD that I don’t mind dying
This is my post EASTER post…

I was having lunch today with Jenny & Daphne,
when Christina & her husband Larry joined us…
Christina has came to deliver the Omega Fish Oil that Jenny has ordered.
Larry is a very enterprising man…
Now he is now a wholesaler for Omega Fish Oil, Barley Green and Wheatgerm.
In other words, he sells health food supplements…
All these supplements help one live longer, gain youthfulness, etc…
I don’t usually take health food supplements…
(I do not have the discipline to pop pills everyday)
In the midst of our conversation, I said
I live naturally, I eat naturally, and it’s only natural that I die naturally.
This may sound morbid to you as a subject over lunch, but I really don’t mind dying.
Christina asked if it’s because life is too stressful/painful for me, that I don’t mind dying.
I reply" NO". So, I just said Life is so good, that I don’t mind dying.

If the life that God has given us in this temporal world is so good;
and because He has promised that He has gone to prepare a place for us, and will come back for us;
Life must be even better after death… that is eternal Life with GOD.
Jesus said “…I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”

First, let's take a look at the word "life". In the Greek it is "Zoe" referring to the principle of life in the spirit and soul. Distinguished from "bios", which refers to duration, means, and manner of life.
So we find that the life (zoe) that Jesus referred to are the things of the spirit, the things which are not seen.
Not the things of the flesh or of the world which are seen.
Jesus here is talking about eternal life.
It is not about having good things on this earth, or in abundance, and prosperity in this world.

I have more than my fair share of a good life on earth…
It’s time to lay claim to the “zoe” that GOD has so given…
Do you want to die here and live eternally,
Are you prepared to die without claiming “zoe” that was given to you in abundance…

LIFE ... HAPPY & WELL IN TIME
Happy Valentine's Day
Not that I celebrate it, (Oh No!)
Just for all of you romantics out there.
But seriously, I BELIEVE IN LOVE.
After all GOD is LOVE;
I believe in GOD, therefore I believe in LOVE.
That's just starters, not really what I am going to write today.
Just met a friend during lunch yesterday afternoon.
He just got news from the doctor that there's growth in his back.
Scary, isn't it, especially for him, being a cancer survivor.
I once heard Chuck Swindoll says,
... It's not how many Days you have in your Life,
but how much Life you have in your Day that really matters.
So today I am rattling off a series of my Life's prespective...
I often say to my LOVE ones, especially my wife
... It doesn't matter whether I Live Long,
but what really concerns me is that I Live Right.
... Don't know when the world would end,
don't really need to know,
don't really need to find out,
because this world ends when YOU DIE. (GAME OVER)
... Live Today like there is no Tomorrow,
for Tomorrow may never come...
Live right Today for Tomorrow,
for Tomorrow may last forever...
Live responsibly Today for Tomorrow,
for you need to wake up and be on the go at it again...
Live well today for tomorrow,
for Tomorrow would be a better day...
So just LIVE & LET LIVE...
Celebrate LIFE...
Whatever the situation,
I wish you be HAPPY and WELL in TIME!!

When the going gets TOUGH, JUST QUIT
Jeremy, my son just reminded me that I have not been writing anything on this blog.
It was getting TOUGH to avoid comments like this, because nowadays people expect blogs to be updated almost everyday.
So I'll just have to QUIT avoiding, and as a result here is this.
We hear this often enough...
when the going gets TOUGH, the TOUGH gets going...
Well today I'll say ... when the going gets TOUGH, JUST QUIT.
There is always something to gain when you QUIT.
When smoking is getting TOUGH on your health & your wallet ...
QUIT smoking, and you'll gain a healthier lifestyle, respect, etc...
Seriously, sometimes there is no point banging our head, hurting ourselves just to keep going at something when the going gets TOUGH.
We need to QUIT struggling and know that it's not a sign of weakness.
QUITTING may just save us from all the troubles...
Remember, Thomas Edison, the inventor...
(If you don't please google and find out)
School was TOUGH for him, and his behaviour was TOUGH for the teacher...
So Tom just QUIT, (his mom pulled him out and began to home schooled him)
The rest is history as we know it today...
Simon Peter QUIT as a fisherman, and became a fisher of man...
Elisha QUIT being a farmer and became a prophet after Elijah...
Paul QUIT hounding the Christians, and became a Evangelist/Missionary etc...
My friend Grace was writing a script the other day.
She had a lot of other things at work that demands her attention too...
It was TOUGH for Grace to complete the script in time.
Grace did something to save the day...
She QUIT writing, and call in another scriptwriter to complete it.
And in the end, the project gets going.
There are many examples of people I know who gain because they QUIT when the going gets TOUGH...
Penang was a TOUGH place for Alfred and his the creative video/film business,
he plod on for 3 years... that was TOUGH... Alfred was a TOUGH guy anyway...
Finally Alfred did the right thing, he QUIT and got his family down to KL...
With jobs a plenty in KL, providing for the family is no longer a worry...
Hey, there is much to gain when you know when to QUIT...
Life is TOUGH enough, go easy on yourself...
Know when to QUIT...
