when saint peter asks...
sunday peeps, remember last week francis asked if you guys knew the answers to the 10 questions.. and one of them was,
"what are the 4 entrance questions to heaven?"
what was your first reaction to this question?
"huh. go to heaven also must have exam one ah"
"shit. what ah"
"huh."
well... the 4 questions are:
1) "when i was hungry, did you give me food?"
2) "when i was thirsty, did you give me something to drink?"
3) "when i was naked, did you clothe me?"
4) "when i was in prison, did you visit me?"
[matthew 25:35...]
and please dont take it literally.
1) hungry.. for what? think! hungry for bread.. the bread of.. LIFE! hungry for god!
2) thirsty for....make a quick guess. thirsty for god's mercy. (hmm and what does this mean?)
3) naked... (huh?) think. when isit that you feel naked, bare, vulnerable..when you ask for forgiveness for your sins? so clothing someone 'naked' means, did you forgive the person?
4) prison.. refers to fear.. when someone was afraid (of what? who?), did you comfort him/her and "armed" him/her? and WHAT, is the best way to counter FEAR?
what is fear? fear of what? is fear necessarily good/bad? Mr John-the-disciple said something about fear. go check up his love letters, in John 1 (not the gospel!) chapter 4, verse 18. what did he say? does he make sense? how does it apply to you and your life?
stay tuned for more good stuff to come! and please, do share!
as i said earlier, last sprint. so run. run run run, as fast as you can. maybe you'll catch up with the gingerbread man. or maybe, you'll realise that you arent ready to run a marathon yet.
as chris martin of coldplay said,".... nobody said it was easy...."
can you say a resounding "yes!" to all the above 4 questions?

My Garden
A class of youth, struggling to place themselves in a future that seems too distant and alien.
Sometimes, plants grow
And so, we look back

Thinking of the present
Rules for Writing.
1. Please include your name, because as much as we like to pretend we are psychic, we are not.
2. Please do not erase anything from the former posts especially those not written by you. This is rude, people.
3. Please write with seemingly objective views. I say seemingly because sometimes, subtlty works too. (:
Telling our friends
That we thank them
