Di lang balita ang may pakpak…

They say that time flies when you’re having fun.
I say time flies even when you’re not having fun.

It’s been three weeks since I became relatively unproductive due to my fear of getting physically worse. I praise God for all the rest He’s given me during the stormy rainy days. The downside, however, is that there are may things that I figure I should have finished but haven’t.

  • This day will be over before I finish preparing for tomorrow’s long day
  • It will be camp time in exactly two months, and we haven’t even started the curriculum
  • this post will be over before the delivery arrives

haay buhay. buti pa sa maskman, may time-space warp….

Wooden Faith Wooden Work

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

There’s an old joke that goes:

"What would happen if you have a wooden car, with wooden wheels, wooden doors, and a wooden engine?"

"It wooden run"

(you can start laughing now…)

In the book of Ephesians, the apostle Paul tells us to "take up the shield of faith to extinguish the flaming arrows of the evil one." (Eph. 6: 16)

However, if the shield is made of wood, it will become a fuel for the flames rather than an  extinguisher.  I guess it’s time to upgrade my shield by  asking for a new one from the  Master Blacksmith.

Not really another gospel…

I got this book from my ninang, and since I’m down with fever and am unable to sleep, I might as well spend my resting time reading:

Gospel
"If you drop a cockroach in juice, people won’t drink the juice. Ask them why and they say ‘because cockroaches are disease carriers.’ So you say, ‘Okay, so we ‘ll use a sterilized cockroach.’ Makes no difference, they still won’t drink the juice.

Sixty pages into the book and enjoying it. It’s a very relevant book, especially for food tech students like me. Indeed, people are irrational when it comes to their preconditioned beliefs. When a substance is classified as either natural or artificial. It will not matter to a person whether there’s absolutely no difference in their chemical compositions, as long as one is labeled artificial or synthetic.

Same must be true about some of those who ‘believe’ in Christ or call themselves Christians. Any evidence will not matter to them as long as they have preconditioned beliefs.

*I do not seek to argue with anyone, rather I want all of us to see if the things we believe in are rational or logical rather than just blind faith. Whether it is in the subject of dieting,  or faith,  we must always be rational and critical  thinkers. We must always be humans , made in the image and likeness of God.
