Ten Commandments
Here is a way that children as well as adults can learn the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1-17), using our ten fingers. Start with your hands together in prayer. This reminds us that God heard the prayers of the Hebrew people when they were in slavery in Egypt and freed them (Exodus 3:7, 20:2). The commandments are a way for us to show our gratitude for God’s love in our lives.
1. “I am the Lord your God; you shall have no other gods before me.” Hold up one index finger for the number one. We worship one God.
2. “You shall not worship idols.” (Idols, false gods, are not only things like statues, but anything we place our ultimate trust and allegiance in, for example money or possessions.) Hold up two fingers. Should we worship more than one God? No, two is too many! One of them must be an idol, and we should not worship it!
3. “You shall not take the Lord’s name in vain.” Use three fingers to form the letter “W” which stands for “words.” Watch your words! God wants us to use his name in loving, caring ways, as we pray and as we talk about him, not in swearing or in anger.
4. “Remember the Sabbath day, and keep it holy.” Hold up four fingers, fold your thumb under to let it rest. The thumb has the right idea. It’s the Sabbath, and the thumb is following the commandment to take a day of rest.
5. “Honor your father and your mother.” Hold up all five fingers on one hand as if you are taking a pledge, to honor your parents.
6. You shall not kill. Pretend the index finger on your second hand is a gun, shooting at the first five fingers. God’s sixth commandment teaches us not to do what has become too commonplace in our society.
7. You shall not commit adultery. Hold one hand out flat. The five fingers and hand become the floor of the church. Two fingers on the other hand are the man and woman to be married, standing in the church, making promises to each other. This commandment calls for couples to keep the marriage promises they make.
8. You shall not steal. Hold up four fingers on each hand, for the eighth commandment. If you stretch out your fingers slightly, these become the prison bars, which hold someone who was been arrested for stealing.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. Hold up all five fingers on one hand and four on the other. Fold your second thumb under and turn your hand around, so the thumb is hiding. It is secretly going around telling the other four fingers on that hand, lies and rumors about the five fingers on the other hand. It is “bearing false witness,” as it talks behind people’s backs, spreading gossip, criticizing others without talking directly to the people involved.
10. Do not covet what belongs to your neighbor. Hold out your hands, palms up, and wiggle all ten fingers to show that they’ve got the “gimmies.” Your fingers are saying, “Gimmie what belongs to my neighbor. I want all those things my neighbor has.” This is not the way God wants us to live.
Blogging..
It seems that the power of influence is truly great. I started bloggin shortly after Terry introduced his blogsite. BUT it wasn't immediately that I got attracted to bloggin. I never understood why people like bloggin so much. Just couldn't comprehend. Until..I finally decided to start a blog on my own. I started of with Xanga on the 15th of August 2004. Been bloggin with Xanga unti l the 2nd of August 2005 then I made the switch to my current blog with Blogspot. I've numerous posts back in my Xanga blog which contains bitter sweet memories and I believe as I continue to blog wif Blogspot, and as my posts accumulates, one day, as I look back, I'll laugh at certains things that has happenend, I'll be blessed seeing that God has brought me through lotsa things, and I'll learn from mistakes..from bitter memories.. and smile my way off with sweet memories.
So..why else is the power of influence great? Because, it seems that more and more people has started bloggin... hmm I guess that somehow, in one way on another, each and every blogger has got influenced by an existing blogger.. haha.. I don't know. Is that true? Or was it just out of curiousty?
Now..there's only loo yee to go. eh..when r ya gonna start bloggin lar.. hahaha..
Blur
That word summarises my whole week. Blur. This week has been extraodinary. I've been really really really sleepy most of the time, hungry most of the time, and lazy most of the time. I know that the same things happen everyday..but this was VERY different. I was extra extra tired, sleepy, lazy. EXTRA. Double or Triple the regular dosage :P
Apart from all that, the worst this week is.. being extra blur! For instance, I was on MSN, and supposingly I am suppose to msg Nes but instead and I replied Seng Yee's msg..thinking that I'm actually initiating the msg to Nes. AND..that's not the end of it yet. I didn't realise I was msn'ing Seng Yee after about a few 'Enter/Return/Click'. Only after the numbers of lines that I've sent through did I realise that I was actually msn'ing Seng Yee and not Nes.
Besides that, as I was driving from Sunway heading to Parade, as all of ya should know by know that it is not possible to make a 3 o'clock at the summit roundabout anymore. I knew it too. All along. Everyday. Since the day the roundabout was closed that way. But somehow..today.. it just slipped my mind..and I was driving along that way thinking that I can make the 3 o'clock turn to get to parade. Thanks to a friend of mine in the car..I avoided that mistake. If she didn't stop me in time and reminded me.. I'll would have spent quite an amount of time in the jam on the road leading to summit!
And, today after cell, I was talking to a cell member who also happens to be in the same guitar class as mua..she missed the class last Saturday..so I was telling her what we did. So..I was actually explaining to her bout plucking..I was talking talking talking..and then..I realised that instead of saying the word plucking, I was using the word strumming throughout the whole time! urgh!
ah.. and the list of blur cases goes on. Trust me. It does. And it's a long long list.
Supply Chain Coursework Marks
Nope I'm not going to announce my marks on my blog. But the whole purpose of this is to give back all the glory and the praises back to God. For indeed with Him all things are possible.
Nope I did not top the class. Neither did I do very badly. I did average. Am really pleased this time cuz, I did quite well. At least to me it is. I'm glad. :P
My Heart Was On the Floor of the Classroom..
..yeah..serious. not literally but my heart really sunk to the bottom of feet..out ..and onto the classroom floor. All this cuz of the piece of news I heard. I heard from my classmates saying that one of our SOCIT lecturer mentioned that someone from our class..failed the double module project. To make it worst, he specifically mentioned that it's a SHE. So..there's less than 10 girls in our class..so..every girl was worried sick until...KC... after taking his own sweet time..he said that, the lecturer mentioned that the project that failed is a web-based system! phew..mine's a stand alone system. However..the results are not finalised yet. So I still wouldn't know. Ahh..
