Vapor Trails

Yeah, it's not only the title of Rush's last album, but it's also the devotional by John Piper(like "Pierced by the Word"). Ok, that devotional is not called "Vapor Trails", but "Life as a Vapor". He wrote in his note to his readers:

The Son of God is not a vapor. He is solid reality, with no beginning and no ending. His name is Jesus. He is the same yesteraday and today and forever. He looked His disciples in the eye and siad without irony or exaggeration, "Before Abraham was, I am"

Jesus Christ came into this world...because of that we have something firm to grasp. "Surely the peoiple are greass. The grass withers the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever" (ISaiah40:7-8). The gospel is firm and lasts forever.

What a great writer! And today I recieve two seperate SMSes thanking me for introducing them to two different books by John Piper to them. Later in the afternoon, I went to PS with Joel Tay and I shopped at Trumpet Priase when I noticed a light green hardcover book and it was this little devotional by Piper. What a good time to be reminded about my passion for the Word of God. What better way to be inspired than by people who have a passion for it! I thank God for them!

I had a great time with Joel today just chatting and he really blessed me with his suggestion to me that I feel might revolutionized my life: organize my thoughts. He affirmed me that what I say are ok, but it's the lack of organization in my train of thought that distracts my hearers. Yeah, I have a bad tendency to side-track before I get back on track. Even in any conversation with friends I tend to do that. That is not good. People like Jo might get confused. The other day, I was smsing Van and suddenly I talked about jamming and she asked why I suddenly change topic. I just told her, it was my train of thought. I wrote two e-mails to Liang and Shaun in reply to their queries and I did the same thing in the e-mail. This is bad and I know I have to be disciplined to keep my train of thought organized.

So many things are in my head now... arhhghg...

Lac, Jenn, Lac!
