With the recent disasters happening in Myanmar and China, I cannot but feel how fortunate we are in Singapore and how precious my family and friends are... I realised I have been hugging and kissing my wife and kids more often these days...

while others are concerned about life and death, I realised I was concerned about minor matters that does not really make a big difference in my life at all... how pathetic my values in life have become...

I felt a strong need to help in whatever ways I can but the massive scale of destruction and sufferings makes me ponder and feeling lost as to how I can really play my little part effectively in helping...

with the completion in my own reading of the chronicles of narnia, I felt all the more that our earth is not a very homely place to stay in anymore... I long for the real "narnia", the new heaven and earth as promised by the Lord in the book of Revelation... I long to be with Him so that there will be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying and no more pain, for the former things will pass away and each chapter will be better than the one before...

I felt that the days are drawing to an end pretty soon, at least what is happening now is beginning to fulfill the prophecy mentioned by the Lord about 2000 years ago:

You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be FAMINES, PESTILENCES and EARTHQUAKES in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows... and because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations and then the end will come. (Mat. 24:9, 12-14)

life is so fragile... are you prepared to face eternity when disaster strikes?
I'm glad that I am... and I hope that you are too...

I am glad, also.
Lets be glad together!

*can't wait*
