The day's reality check

I don’t normally church hop. Hmm… In fact, I’ve never church hopped in Singapore. I suppose it’s due to the regimental, stoically religious background I’ve been brought up in.

Today was slightly different I guess. Attended Wesley Methodist instead. It was for a rather special someone. Of course, the aim of church is never to please someone, rather it’s for edification purposes. Just like you don’t go to a particular church because Joanne Peh worships there. I know a lot of fools who do this. In particular, young, impressionable 15-16 year old males with hormones a-raging. It sounds good right? Go to church, people think you’re holy, you get to ogle eye candy, mingle with them and ALL under the mask of Christianity. Not to mention people are nice, there’s free refreshments and good music. And after all of that, you get to go to heaven. Hallelujah!!!!! Nay nay… it’s not the case, God ain’t blind. If you’re one of those people, wake up to your folly. It’s much better to be ignorant than to be misguided. I’ve been there done that by the way.
I attended Wesley to encourage Ms. Special and in so doing, hearten my walk with God. The sermon was sharp, succinct and cutting. It is said that the Word of God is like a 2-edged sword. I found it rather like a roller cutter. MULTI-edged and terribly conscience seeking. Ugh, I’m not too fond of such uncomfortable sermons, a wretched sinner as I am. In any this case, my purpose of ‘church hopping’ was fulfilled to some extent, praise God.

That inevitably puts me in a rather good mood. Considering I was locked out my house for about 45 minutes, I didn’t scream and shout at dad and mum. No, I broke the lock. That’s what I call personifying calmness and collectedness.

I was also told I have no time for women. That just sucks. After a lot of thought, I decided it wasn’t the best thing to hear, but it is a reality check. It’s true. I don’t have time. I can make time for her and I will. But it’s just that “by default” I have no time.
