More about time

Oh my gosh.. I have suddenly realised I have lost touch to blogging a bit. Haven't posted in almost a whole month! =D This June will be a time of rediscovering myself as I embark on a mission trip to Nagoya, Japan.

Lots of things going through my mind right now. Indeed, many a times I make bad decisions, only to bear the consequences later. Yet, I guess the one thing I would never regret is to trust in God. Not that God isn't there in the bad times. God is there anytime.

This truth is something we have a hard time convincing ourselves when things go 'bad" but hey, God IS there with us. I'm very happy to see that in an online game I'm playing, I actually meet christians and the virtual reality world is just like the real one, except the game characters are limited into a virtual frame, ours in a reality time.

I also know a few of the people who escape from the real world into a world of virtual reality. Some with terminal illnesses who live one day at a time, some with injuries so bad that they can't leave the house. Even in a virtual reality world, the person playing that character very much needs care and concern like in reality. Some of these people nearing the "end" usually display stark contrast in behaviour. One is pessimistic just sitting in game all lost hope, one wants to get all out of life there is, even if he can't get it out of the real world, the virtual reality world is good.

The only thing about games is most game have a "Save game" button, where you make mistakes, you can delete a character, start all over. "Load" button to load where you last left off the game. Yet, in real life we do not have that option. When we do make mistakes or lose our lives its somewhat like "gameover". But did anyone tell you that if you think in real life you feel all condemned, worthless, nothing to live for purposefully, all out of hope that you can't turn things around, Jesus is your "reset" button?

I just know someone from that virtual world who died due to heart problems in real life and he is only 17.. may he rest in peace.. for those living on, every death around us reminds us our stay here is temporal, and only in God can we find eternal.
