Caught a movie

This morning, went church. It was bible study first. There were only 5 of us in the class. The leader spoke on relationships and parenting...but more on relationships. He talked about 1 Corinthians 13 on love...what love is. It is a wonderful passage for all us to learn and treat others.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails.."

~1 Corinthians 13:4-8

After bible study, went for service. Today's topic was on honoring our heroes in our lives. The pastor invited his hero on stage. It is this guy who fought in the Iraq war and was captured and how he was tortured. The guy spoke and said that whatever difficulties we face in our loves, God will never leave us and His promises stand. He also said that it is not about us, but about God and His glory. He said that admist all his troubles, he still praise God! What a testimony.

Reminds me of the accident my family faced...that is not about our sufferings and how much inconvenience it has caused..It is all about God..Because all that has happened is always for His glory and creates opportunity for people to know Him...that is Him showing grace and allowing people to come to Him.

It is the same with the Hurricane Katrina. Our pastor told us about how this hurricane has caused a spiritual awakening in USA and how more people are coming to Christ through this.

During service, they asked for volunteers to be in the "Task Force Hope" mission to help in the Hurricane. So, after service, me and CT signed up in the booth. We signed up to help in the states of Louisiana, New Orleans and Mississippi. I told CT that I would love to go down and minister to the people and bring them joy. So, we signed up as on-site missions. We also took this sheet of paper for us to go Walmart to buy goods for the families and put them all in the bucket. We can also purchase bible from Walmart and supposed to place it on top when we send to the families.

I felt so excited as I can imagine the joy of the people receiving the goods-canned stuff, toiletries etc..and the hope of them accepting Christ.

After service, we rushed to Springdale Cinema to catch a movie. I wanted to watch this movie called ,"Crash". It was US$2 per person..about S$3 plus. Cheap because it is an old movie and the dvd is out already. But I do not wish to buy the DVD,so I would rather watch in the cinema.

I wanted to watch this show because Oprah recommended it and after reading the reviews, it sounds really good. I love shows that teaches me something and open my eyes to reality.

"Crash" deals with racial and ethnic struggles in southern California. It gave me a great glimpse into the complicated lives of average, everyday people. It is abou a Brentwood housewife and her DA husband. A Persian storeowner. Two police detectives, who are also lovers. A black television director and his wife. A Mexican locksmith. Two car-jackers. A rookie cop. A middle-aged Korean couple. They all live in Los Angeles. And, in the next 36 hours, they will all collide.

I was surprised Sandra Bullock is in this movie as I always remember her as Miss Congeniality and how funny she was. To see her so serious in this movie, really makes it strange.

After the movie, we left the theatre gloomy as the movie talks about how people are- filled with anger, prejudices etc.. It leaves you to conclude on your own. I love the show because of how intensed it was and how technically well-done it was.

After the show, we went to exchange our car as the theatre was near Avis. So, they had a car available and we took it. We drive the same model car before- Ford Taurus 3.0L. However, the difference is that the seats are leather now and the colour is dark green, which CT insisted it looked grey..So, I concluded it was greyish green. Ha..

Went home to watch the US Open Tennis Men's Finals- Agassi Vs Federer. Of course, I was cheering for Agassi as he is the oldest player to make it to the finals but I knew Federer would win because it is the number 1 player...and yup, he did eventually. He played so well..aced in his services...

Had a great day today..
