Christianity: The Whys And Hows

I am a christian. I am not ashamed to tell everyone this. In fact, I am going to shout this out and make sure everyone knows that I am follower Jesus Christ my Lord. The thing is, many people will start asking me questions like "Why do you believe in Christ?" and "Why should I believe in Christ?" First things first. Why do I believe in Christ? It is very simple. I believe in Christ simply because I know that He is the only God in the world and that He can deliver what He promises! Maybe some people might ask how do I know this. I'll tell you. I have seen miracles happen. I have seen promises delivered. And I can just feel His very presence. Jesus has certainly done a miracle in my life. Not just one miracle, miracles. I'll just take the favourite "Car accident" for example. I really don't believe that my body is that strong to take a knock from a big piece of metal that is travelling at 60km/hr. The only explanation I can give is that I was saved by God. Well, well, enough of why I believe in Jesus, lets see why YOU should believe in Jesus. Ok, let me tell you that Jesus LOVES YOU. Now don't tell me things like "How can He love me? He don't even know me yet!" Nah, Jesus already know you! He knows your name and everything you know about yourself and even more! He knows you even before you were born and He loves you even while you are in your mother's womb! In fact, He even died for you so that the sins that you commit can be pardoned! You know that sins brings you to hell don't you? But what you should know is that Jesus is here to remove these sins so that you won't have to go to hell! Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" Yes, that is why you should believe in Jesus Christ! Ok, so are you ready to know how to be saved by Jesus Christ and pardoned from your sins? Here goes! Just believe in Him! Yes, its that simple! Have faith and believe in Jesus, know that He loves you and that He gave His life for you. John 3:16 "For God so loves the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." Know this then take step number 2. Come to church! Just come and look for me and I will bring to church! After that, your steps to salvation will be go on and you can be like me, saved through Jesus Christ!

Mr.Accident-Prone

Thats what I have been called since a few months ago, and I couldn't agree less. Mr. Accident-Prone, or the Accident-Prone Man, they mean the same thing. That is, I am someone who is very very prone to accident. Actually I didn't really believe it, but when I looked back at the number of accidents I had in just a few months, I was quite shocked. I appear to have already gotten use to these accidents that having one more accident don't matter much to me anymore.
Lets take a look at the last few accidents I got myself involved in.
Well, I believe many of the accidents I encounter had got to do with bicycle. In 2001, my friend's bicycle knocked into mine while we were going downslope at Pulau Ubin and it got really messy. I had a palmful of blood and my friend got his leg badly cut. In 2004, my friends and I went on a cycling trip, while returning back at Kranji, my bicycle hit a protruding rock while we were going downslope (yes, downslope again) and I basically had a somersault with my bike. Got my knee pretty badly grazed there.
Then I got my new bike. This new bike was cool. But it did not prevent many accidents from happening. I got it during the halfway mark of 2004. Took it out for rides and accidents start coming in. Was careful with it at first but started speeding and all as time passed. Then, accidents happen. I was going downslope(YA, its downslope again, again) along a sandy path and my front wheel got locked in a crack in the ground. This sent me flying through the air. Injured my knee and my waist. By that time, I had already learned to wear gloves, so my palms was safe.
Next was at a carpark. I was trying superspeed cycling so I was going real fast around the carpark. Was doing alright untill my cap(Yeap, I was wearing a cap) flew off my head. This gave me a shock and I lost concentration. This caused my lose balance and I went down to the ground at extremely high speed. As a natural reaction, I detached myself from the bike to reduce injuries. The next thing I knew is that my bike went flying straight at a car parked nearby. "BANG!" Chain came off, i injured my elbow and knee. Fixed the bike up and went home.
The next accident I can remember will most probably the car accident I got myself in. Was cycling home when I decide to cross over to the other side of the road. Checked the opposite road but not the one on my side. Was crossing halfway when "BANG!", I got hit and flew through the air. My knee and elbow got injured again. My bike was destroyed.
IT may appear to be "no more bike, no more accident". But not. Accidents continued to occur. Even on foot. It was raining and I decided to run to school to avoid being drenched. Was running and I just slipped. Flew through the air(Yes, even when I run) and landed on concrete and grass. Cut my elbow very badly. Got scarred bad.
So ya, i decide to walk carefully. Nah, accidents won't leave me. I was walking when a speeding bicycle(ya, bicycles again) came at me and bang into me. Bruised my waist.
I thought this would stop, but I even injured my finger while playing sports!
Well, thats what there are untill now. I seriously hope and pray this will stop. Hmph.
