Dear Readers,

So we have almost comes to the end of 2007.
Before we proceed to 2008, and make our new resolution, let us ponder and recapulate what or how much we have attained in fulfilling our resolution for 2007.
As for myself, I had already fulfilled my resolution to complete this year full marathon on 2nd December 2007.
But, the achievement is not my own, but for the glory of God.
I had managed a good timing for the first 20 odd kilometers, but at about 21 to 22 kilometers, my leg sinews had taken it's toiled.
Suddenly, I could feel the cramp coming, and at one stage, I could hardly moved. I was thinking to myself, that this is the end and probably I'm not going to make it to the finishing line.
Then, there was this girl who noticed the grimaces of my face, and approached me to enquire about my well being. I simply told her that I'm fine, except for the cramp on my left legs.
Well, the next 20 odd kilometers seems to be a difficult task, but I prayed and determined that even if I can't run, I would brisk walk all the way back. After the turned , and about 29 kilometers, I met a young man who was having trouble making it; and his mum was goading him on. I went beside him to encourage him on. Telling him to take it as an experience and walk back just to finish the run. He told me about his prowess,his recent timing of 4 hrs plus, which he had completed in Melbourne just about two weeks ago.
Well, I said, " That's very good." So, don't push yourself too hard and aggravate your knee which you don't feel too good at this moment; just relax and take in the sight, and make your way back slowly.
After that, I persisted on, half walking and occasionally, tried to run. Nevetheless, whenever I pick myself up to run again, soon the cramp followed. This happened several times, until towards the last five kilometers, I managed to run a little further, and finally on seeing the last 150 meters ahead, I ran towards the finishing line.
Well, that is the " Physical " battle, while I have also made two " Spiritual " resolutions, one to study the whole Bible through; almost completing it, still have another 27 days more to go.
The second, unfulfilled yet, but I am still praying for my wife and daughter salvation; that is, to come to know and accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour.
Looking forward ,towards 2008, I would still be praying for them, that indeed the Lord may be merciful and opened their eyes and heart to Him.
Today, I came across an article in the " Googles news ",that an atheist, who is also a well known scientist, had discovered some truth about the existence of God. The proofs are there, but many still would not come to accept these facts. Even, with so many witnesses, from the time of His( Jesus ) birth , the miracles, the healings and the teachings, but most important of all is the fact that He fulfilled the prophecy of " Building the temple in 3 days." What exactly did He meant by that? Many of the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and the Romans do not understand Him either. They mocked at Him , and said, we takes years to build the temple, and yet He claimed that He can build it in 3 days; that is ridiculous. But, they don't realised that He was referring to His body, where He would be put to death, and that He would rose again on the third day.
As Christmas approaches, what is the significance? Let us take heed and ponder over this awesome events on that faithful night some over 2,000 years ago, where many were witnesses.

May you discover the Light and have a " Blessed Christmas."

For we did not follow " cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty.
For He received from God the Father honour and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: " This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.
And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;
knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation,
for the prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 16-21

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, " I am the Light of the world.He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." John 8:12
