CEMETERIES

CEMETERIES... what inspired me to post this entry...?

My Human Biology project.


You see, we're supposed to gather data of the age of deaths for people in a specified era of our choice. (ie. 1980-1990...in tens). Then they went on to explain that students in the years before gathered their data by going to the cemetery. Walking among tombstones, reading dates, age of death etc. etc..

You see...i have NO problem doing all that except the "walking among the tombstones" part. Just sounded a bit eerie.. =S My classmates, Adrian and Pamela were like YAY!!!! Let's go at night!!!Let's do a roadtrip to the various cemeteries!!! And i was just yawning and going... "Oh Bother!!! It's freaking 9.30 in the morning!!"


Then, i realised.. there's nothing eerie about places like that. I mean, all the talk about GHOSTS and stuff.. We're all influenced by the media. Television, Books, Magazines...causing all these unnecessary boughs of fear!


Some of us can really imagine. I CAN'T watch horror movies.. i'll just remember the images too well and re-conjure them in my imagination. Of all times.... when i'm trying to sleep. But i know friends who can watch and laugh OR watch, get scared and forget just like that! =)
























Kk... got lots to write about ghosts vs. unfamiliar evil spirits and all

But i think i'll not go on... cause i have to finish my tute for tomorrw!!
Again last minute...
Will update tonight, after i'm done with my linguistics tute..

~BOO YAH!!


To Eunice: Put up your long hair picture after you're done painting it on... haha!

Amazing GRACE

The movie "Amazing Grace" opened my eyes...

To see beyond what i have... beyond what we, fortunate folks possess.

To the injustices of this world.

To how much more we should show grace, the way Christ did.

To be set apart, consecrated from the world and to stand up for what we think is right.

To how AMAZING His grace is to us...who are so undeserving.



GRACE in general, according to the dictionary:

- a manifestation of favor


- mercy, pardon, clemency




GRACE theologically, according to the dictionary:

-
the freely given, unmerited favor and love of God.
-
the influence or spirit of God operating in humans to regenerate or strengthen them.
-
a virtue or excellence of divine origin: the Christian graces.

I just realised that there's a similarity in both the general and theological definitions of GRACE. Obviously, it's the word "favor" which i've typed in bold.


Then, i realised... it's the manifestation of favor from one person to another AND it's the manifestation of UNMERITED favor and love of God towards men respectively.

Unmerited?? It has many definitions. So, i dictionary.com-ed.
MERIT: to be worthy of, to deserve.

I was like...., "Ahhhh... i see.

" It's God's manifestation of favor and love to those who are not worthy of & who do not deserve it."


BINGO!
