What Easter is really About

"As He slowly sags down...on the nails in the wrists, excruciating pain shoots along the fingers and up the arms to explode in the brain; the nails in the wrists are putting pressure on the median nerves. As he pushes himself upward to avoid stretching torment, He places the full weight on the nails through his feet. Again He feels the agony of the nail tearing through the nerves between the bones of the feet. As the arms fatigue, cramps sweep through the muscles, knotting them in deep, relentless, throbbing pain.

With these cramps comes the inability to push himself upward to breathe. Air can be drawn into the lungs but not exhaled. He fights to raise himself in order to get even one small breath...hours of limitless pain, cycles of twisting, joint-rending cramps, intermittent partial asphyxiation, searing pain as tissue is torn from His lacerated back as He moves up and down against the rough timber.
Then another agony begins: a deep, crushing pain in the chest as the pericardium slowly fills with serum and begins to compress the heart. It is now almost over; the loss of tissue fluids reaches a critical level; the compressed heart is struggling to pump heavy, thick, sluggish blood into the tissues; the tortured lungs are making a frantic effort to gasp in small gulps of air.
He can feel the chill of death creeping through His tissue...finally He can allow his body to die."

The Bible records it as concisely as possible in these words: 'And the crucified Him..... - Mark 15:24'


Doesn’t this just make you think: What amazing, non-selfish, wonderous love is this?
It should...'cos that's the reason for Easter..Jesus Died out of Love for you and me to bring Salvation to the world! Now we have Salvation for free...Please don't waste time in accepting your free Gift!

Have a great Easter and Stay blessd and renewed!

A page from 2009

Tick...tock..tick....so the clock goes. In a few more hours, 2009 will run out and 2010 will come in. Just as we prepare for the new year, Maybe we should just sit and ponder for a minute. What has this year brought to you that is worthy of note? What has happened over the course of this year? Remember the things that made you sad, smile, laugh, cry, angry ...........

Whether the occurrence be good or bad, it's now in the past. The only evidence to show for it is where you are now and who you have become.

In every circumstance, there is a lesson to be learnt. To act upon that lesson, you need a plan. So what your strategy for the New year?

I have learnt that dreams come true as long as you can believe. I hope your 2010 is full of surprises, May it be packed with great things!!

This is your time to SHINE..Have a fantastic New year!!!!!

The Christmas bells...

It's so weird how only few days ago, the year 2009 was born. Like a seed planted in fertile soil, it started to grow shoots and the roots pushed down further into the ground. the flowers started to bud and the leaves became bright green, enriched with colour.

But slowly the year comes to a close and new one is ahead. It makes one stop. think. ponder for a while...What has been achieved? what still has to be accomplished? What were my happy moments and what didn't go so well?

The Most important question though is to ask, What can be improved on in the new year?

When we stop trying, everything stands still...and the world goes by while we stand and watch.

Christmas is around the corner..Get in that joyful mood. Celebrate the friends and family that you have. Family can be annoying but there is no doubt that they are a shoulder to lean on, to cry on and when it seems all hope is lost, to fall on!

Friends are never quite so predictable, there are some amazing ones and some that are just constantly digging holes in your heart. But then again the amazing ones can once in a while switch to the 'bad' side. It all depends on the pressures and circumstances they are faced with. Nevertheless, the support and warmth of a true & loyal friend is worth a lot!

Christmas is a time of peace, to be joyful with the ones you love. It is a time to share each others happiness and be thankful. Look over the past year and be thankful to God for what he's brought you through.

The storms have subsided, it's time for peace.....have a wonderful Christmas and an extravagant new year! (i know it's a bit early on in December to do Christmas wishes.lol)

The relationship syndrome

Just sometime this year, that nasty pandemic hit the world. the symptoms were evident: fever, temperature, sore throat, cough and then the big scare was death! You guess it, Swine Flu!

And now I see symptoms for another budding issue: every where people are in two's, holding hands and all that: suddenly it's a world filled with mass dating!!

Ok, the scare about this is that children from about age 10 have caught this syndrome too!!
I'm pretty sure they don't even know what a relationship is.

So I ask you all, in your various individual opinions,

• what is the minimum age limit for one to go into a relationship?



• what should be involved in a relationship?



• Does a relationship need to have a purpose before it is started? e.g marriage



• how do you decide who is right for you and who is isn't?



• how does one tackle the issue of : guy likes girl but girl wants friendship and vice versa



• Is 'single-ness' going out of fashion?

Your opinions, comments and ideas are all valued!! would love to hear from you all..
