Finally made good use of my mountain bike today. Just went cycling along some jungle trails on the island of Tekong. What a privilege!

"When I Come To Heaven" poem by Elizabeth Andrews

When I come to heaven Lord, what shall I bring?
My golden necklace, and my diamond ring?
I have some great treasures of jade, ivory, and bone,
And aren't we judged Lord, by what we own?
My important position I've climbed up so high,
There just isn't anything my money won't buy.
So tell me again Lord, just what are Your needs?
I've helped You a lot, by doing good deeds.

You've got it all wrong, My child, My dear,
All that I've wanted is having you near.
While storing your treasures, there's much you forgot.
My love and forgiveness can never be bought.
I offer it freely, just ask and receive.
But you never listened, you didn't believe.
Your works and possessions are just filthy rags.
So if you're coming to heaven, unpack your bags.
Just come as you are, it's you that I love.
The price has been paid, by the one up above.

Job 2:10b

Shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept adversity? (NASB)

We take the good days from God — why not also the bad days? (MSG)

Shall we accept only good at the hand of God and shall we not accept also misfortune and what is of a bad nature? (AMP)

Should we accept only good things from the hand of God and never anything bad? (NLT)

Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil? (ESV)

7 Reasons why Albert Lewis became a rabbi

It is summer and we are sitting in his office. I ask him why he thinks he became a rabbi.
He counts his fingers.
"Number one, I always liked people.
"Number two, I love gentleness.
"Number three, I have patience.
"Number four, I love teaching.
"Number five, I am determined in my faith.
"Number six, it connects me to my past.
"Number seven - and lastly - it allows me to fulfill the message of our tradition: to live good, and to be blessed."
I didn't hear God in there.
He smiles.
"God was there before number one."

Finally signed 3 extra duties for repeatedly booking in and out in inappropriate attire. Serves me right for testing the system.
