can't sleep.

thinking thru some stuff. and somehow i felt a little stuck.

prompted to pray in the spirit. Lord, u still know my heart the best.

and yeah, haha, i cant help but shake my head as i look at the table now. tsk. at nights like this nowadays, like now..i realise it's natural to have these stuff laying around the coffee table in the living room in a few secs..hahas:

tv (reflected) on for sound. milk in hope that i ll sleep. nutella on biscuits to fill my hunger. books and mags, in hope that words can induce me to sleep. and going online to check mails. obsessive-compulsive disorder nowadays.






or, i ll just sit by the window and stare out. the empty roads. the mobil bustling with voices. the view gives me some "stillness", some time alone to think and pray. therapeutic. though not a beautiful scene, but i like the empty roads feel. v still. and the long straight stretch feel.
















and hahas. jus thought of something. compare the above with the following tt i took some time ago..

notice a diff in something?

hahas. this totally reminds me of the "spot the diff" game. hmmm...








DVC's out today.

and i really agree with what alan tea shared on mon. it's presenting itself as a soft opposition, a little challenge posed to our faith.

however, i like the way he put it, with the verse in Ecclesiastes 1:9, "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.". So DVC shouldnt catch us by surprise.

instead, we should make the most of every opportunity(Eph 5:16)..to share the facts amidst the lies.

the seminar on monday was mind-opening. it really helped me to think deeper and to see DVC beyond a movie itself. it's a legendary production..and it's so powerful that its going to be etched in ppl's minds, and be one of the most talked-about topics among ppl.

to quote the conclusion of the seminar:"This novel (DVC) is entertaining but it is not history. Genuine history requires proof. The author has taken a set of ideas and speculative historical reconstructions, each of which is highly implausible in itself (Holy Grail, Goddess in the Gospels), and by weaving them together has not only created an exciting plot but has made several implausible elements appear for a moment as though they might be true. The pseudo-historical claims of a modern novel can't make truth false.

GK Chesterton reminded us that orthodoxy is not only true; it is infinitely more interesting than heresy. The book will soon fall from the best-seller lists. It is now eleventh place in the New York TImes hardcover fiction list. Our faith will continue..."
