History Repeats Itself

2 May 07

Su Ling blogged about a 13-year-old friend caught smooching in the kitchen. That sounds familiar to anyone else?

By the way, I'm not talking about the blogging. Nope, I'm not talking about the getting caught part. And, nope, I'm not talking about smooching. I'm talking about 13 year old for screaming out loud!

Any savvy teenager out there wants to interpret this snippet from Su Ling's soap opera preview this week?

And while the kissing goes on somewhere else, Shannon mentioned in her blog about the papers reporting firemen extricating the bodies of three teenage Indian girls from a car wreck today with the Indian also teenage driver hospitalized with serious injuries. They were driving home from a birthday bash. She posed a simple question to her readers.

Somewhere between the kissing and the partying and the merry making, the fun stopped.

Sigh.

Are we suppose to learn something from this?

I remember Poh Leong also sighing something about going through some tough time making decisions and feeling dry spiritually or something. Not that I'm picking on Poh Leong. But for those three girls, if they haven't found the Lord, they have bigger problems than feeling emotionally and spiritually strung or choosing what to do with their lives. For them, their journey has come to an end.

Sigh.

Are we suppose to learn something from this?

Guys. Some of us are drifting. And we don't know why?

Hellooooooooo?

Tell me, what are we missing here?

Hi Ps Jon! Yea, if we don't listen to God's whispering, he will give us a knock on our head. If we remain hard-headed then he will build a wall before us. If we ignore the wall, then it will tumble on us.

What IS missing?

Im sure u're also a craftsmen of your own blog wat.

Criticism comes faster than craftsmanship i guess.

Whats missing?
Maybe nothing was missing in the first place. But I'll take a wild analytical guess, inconsistency?

since history repeats itself or we are making it, its still repeating. Theres consistency there, consistent repeats. So I think its the law of inconsistency tats missing

Hey Pastor John. One of those 3 girls who were killed in the accident along Federal Highway was my friend's girlfriend. My friend was the driver.

He's out of his coma but still in the ICU. He broke his spine and the doctors said he wouldn't walk again. He's a really good friend and please say a simple prayer for him :)

I've been thinking. He lived to live with the guilt of having to indirectly cause the death of 3 innocent girls. I'm a morbid person. I told my friend I'd rather die than live with that guilt all my life. If in any case he DOESN'T recover his motor abilities, he'll be bedridden. Lots of time to think about what happened.

He wasn't even there to attend his girlfriend's funeral. Though I didn't know her personally, she seemed like a nice girl with alot to offer. She had a great sense of social skill and was even Miss Convent.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, don't take life for granted. It may end before you know it.

God bless all.

Ta'

Hey Pastor John
Yeah I have been thinking about those fate of the two girls. And also about that schoolmate of mine who commited suicide. It was a really sad thing.
