Feeling like I shouldn’t be -BE. Like all my options and all the world’s joy have been sucked from around me. A much used trick of witches to destroy a church who found them out and fought them off. Yea, witches have power spread over millions of sinners and the proud / arrogant / ignorant.
But powers we have aplenty and patience is growing thin with these insidious destroyers.
My Nerf rounds shipped at long last. Can’t wait to shoot them. Mom will be going to a reunion lunch. I will join my church meetup via online as I have to wait for my parcel. Prepared the cash for it by the shoe rack. Found out my xx-100 is one of the fastest Nerf guns ever made. I need to rig a target for tomorrow’s shooting. Something that will rattle when hit.
Feeling like I should take a break from blogging for a while. Been thinking I would not purchase more extravagant / unnecessary stuff and focus on my key hobbies / work. Being now, effectively retired. My favorite possessions:
- Nerf blaster bought a damaged box one
- Oakleys bought on discount for its odd looking frame
- Teva sandals lower end model, father’s day sale
- A humble watch, my s300h solar, well under 200RM
Things I stopped buying:
- watches
- computers
- sports gear
- music equipment
- web hosting
- premium clothing
- books and records
- audio gear
- branded phones
State of my wardrobe:
1. Millet shorts / charcoal tee
2. white tarmak shorts (sleep)
3. black artengo (sleep)
4. green domyos (sleep)
5. beige domyos / raglan tee
7 orange domyos / white tee
8 green yoga (sleep)
Sleep shorts paired with Pagoda / Eagle King. Also have 2 long pants and 3 formal shirts. I think I have barely enough clothes to get by, washing every other day.

Listening to my Pastor teach via online meeting. He raises a lot of questions. Like why is there a second rebellion after a thousand years of Jesus' rule? That seems crazy at first glance. And what is the overall plan of God? What does he hope to achieve? Are human beings special / valuable or just (cute) pets of the Most High?
And when Jesus says we must dress well for His wedding, what can that mean? Dress to please someone we never met but were told about. I guess it is to have and cherish His values -to agree with them even deep within.
Strong's Greek: 907. βαπτίζω (baptizó) -- To baptize, to immerse, to dip : Baptism is actually not so much referring to the immersion of a person in water but instead to being overwhelmed by suffering for God's purpose. In such a case, quite a portion of my life has been spent being 'baptized', being held under. This raises the question of why God requires us to suffer. It cannot be to make us tough, or to select those faithful. Mathematically, suffering can only be the result of disobedience -that the Universe and our souls are in friction.
Intercourse is a disobedience that is drawn out to the point that suffering becomes pleasure. Can a person find that 'narrow gate'? Baptism is like being born a young bird who needs to learn to fly. It is suffering and danger but full of pleasure when it's properly learned. [thanks to my Pastor for bringing up these questions]
