The other day when I was walking to work one fine morning, I got a pretty good shock. A coconut fell somewhere short of where I was, tumbled a little, conveniently missed the car which was also passing by (although that road is usually deserted), hopped onto the pavement across the road, finally contented to settle there. I thought it would be really BAD if its aim was slightly more accurate. Its very high level of kinetic energy would definitely finish a person off, physics students might concur? I'd really preferred to die a slightly more honourable way. And since we're on the same subject, also having engraved a nice, warm message on my epitaph, hehe.
I used to be really, really afraid of death and that I used to think that when we die, it would be just like falling into a dark tunnel, endless, with no hope. On other occasions, I'd imagine that it would be just like a dream, you won't even know you're dead, driving through an avenue, also on a road with no end (I remember there being a couple of other people sharing the same ride but I can't recall who, hehe -my family?). Which reminds me, I used to be really depressed, and I had all the symptoms of depression. But thank God I did not have the courage to take the easy way out. Think God has always tried to communicate this message to me, that He can be real for me just as real as He was in other people's lives. These words have spoken to me on several occasions. And the blessings He has showered on me through the people I know (although it's just a handful, they're simply amazing people). Praise God for that.
So hear me out, He can be real for YOU too, so be encouraged!
On a related matter, I strongly object against the death sentence. No matter what this person has done, I really don't think that it justifies taking the life of that person in return. Man does not have the right to play God. Which was why I absolutely disliked "The Green Mile" very, very much. I remembered having utterly no choice but to take myself out of the mini theatre, having felt completely nauseated from its grueling scenes.
So, relating to para 1, probably God was trying to tell me something, either that, or, He missed? =)
On a completely different note, someone mentioned that he'd pen human on a form when asked for type of race. Interesting. But I'll save that for another day.
p.s OK, God doesn't miss.

I'm reminded of the joke bout the golfer cursing when he missed a putt when lightning struck and then there was a booming voice from above..;)Think bout steering clear of coconut trees next time..you don't want the ones that like to make you a target cause they're old, it's the young ones you want and you'll have to climb for those..tho there'll be quite abit of explaining to do if say collegues..managers..partners, happen to stroll by ;)
