Was up earlyish. Couldn't get cleaned due to gas buildup. Coming up to 9am and I'm not ready to head out. May be 15 minutes late by the looks of things. Drank a bit of prune juice and had bean dip with prata bread for breakfast.

Managed to get cleaned well after all and headed out to church meet. There was an enormous Malaysian national day parade with people in their traditional dress. I can't understand how being held up by the procession, I made it to KL in one piece and on time. A brother from Canada talked about the parable of the sower and its hidden meaning -it was great to learn a wisdom and be friends with a true church. He talked about faith in following the Lord Jesus' footsteps and it was a wakeup call for all of us who'd fallen asleep. Thanks to our brother for coming down to encourage us.
Later, American kids started a revolt, and I don't really understand them. Apparently, things in America are getting hairy. Things not normally heard of in the media. So, we helped out after some heated arguments but as Christians we had to make up and, in the end, cooperate on it.
I bought 2 pairs of basketball shorts which are quite weird. I think the material is very thin and has tiny holes but what the hey, they were 19RM each and 2XL which I require. I now have 4 pairs of presentable shorts which should do the job over the next year or so.
I have to talk about lust and the relationship between men and women.
But I say to you, that anyone who will have looked at a woman, so as to lust after her, has already committed adultery with her in his heart__Matthew 5:28
This is an interesting passage and a logical one. Earlier, Jesus says: who can make an offering to God at the altar with hate burning his heart -of his brother / friend etc? Who can serve two masters? Hate and Love? So it is with sexual desire: if you gather to yourself wives in the heart, how can you ever marry? And how will those women ever marry with a clear conscience? Sexual desire has therefore to be moderated just as anger -both natural behavior that destroys society -the perfect society God is preparing for those who want it / can understand why it is better and more pleasurable.
