Relaxing and reflecting...

Had a decent and relatively short bible study on thursday nite... thank God that these studies are going fairly smoothly lately...

However, later on, wife and I got into a discussion while we're in bed regarding some comments I posted in her blog... about my belief that we can be anybody's 'true love' provided that both persons are committed to make that happen... Anyway, that discussion slowly got out of control... one theological thing led to another... she ended up unable to sleep... she just could get the wheels in her brain to stop turning!!!

Anyway, the lesson we learn that night was that in the future, after we say our prayers, we should just be still and be quiet and goto sleep. ;)

I did manage to get some sleep, but I decided to take Friday off anyway... just so we can both take it easy a bit... again, thank God for a job that can allow me the luxury to take days off whenever I want!

At the end of the day, we saw the movie Groundhog Day. It a very funny movie and I think also very secretly spiritual at the same time. I can only hope wife also gets the message of the movie... ;)

Friday's scriptural reading was about Joseph reuniting with his brothers and eventually his father. After all the pain and suffering God had supposedly subject Joseph under, finally, we have a happy ending. If there is a God, if we walk with God, our pain and sufferings will surely not go in vain. We'll all experience pain and sufferings, that's a given, after we fall, how do we get back up? We'll have to want to get back up... and we'll need God's help.

In the movie Groundhog Day, the character Phil finally figured out life isn't about selfish ambitions... he figured killing himself is pointless too..., but of course even after he has figured it out, he's still powerless to not to repeat that same old day over and over again... until that Somebody from a higher authority finally allowed him to see tomorrow...

So may we all learn what we're suppose to learn... and may God help deliver us as soon as heavenly possible! ;)
