A TEENAGER'S VIEW OF HEAVEN

--Very thought provoking. Hope you read it to its end!!!!!

17-year-old Brian Moore had only a short time to write something for a class. The subject was what Heaven was like. 'I wowed 'em,' he later told his father, Bruce. 'It's a killer. It's the bomb. It's the best thing I ever wrote..' It also was the last.

Brian Moore died May 27, 1997, the day after Memorial Day. He was driving home from a friend's house when his car went off Bulen-Pierce Road in Pickaway County and struck a utility pole. He emerged from the wreck unharmed but stepped on a downed power line and was electrocuted.

The Moores framed a copy of Brian's essay and hung it among the family portraits in the living room. 'I think God used him to make a point. I think we were meant to find it and make something out of it,' Mrs. Moore said of the essay. She and her husband want to share their son's vision of life after death. 'I'm happy for Brian. I know he's in heaven. I know I'll see him.'

Brian's Essay: The Room...
In that place between wakefulness and dreams, I found myself in the room. There were no distinguishing features except for the one wall covered with small index card files. They were like the ones in libraries that list titles by author or subject in alphabetical order. But these files, which stretched from floor to ceiling and seemingly endless in either direction, had very different headings. As I drew near the wall of files, the first to catch my attention was one that read 'Girls I have liked.' I opened it and began flipping through the cards. I quickly shut it, shocked to realize that I recognized the names written on each one. And then without being told, I knew exactly where I was.

This lifeless room with its small files was a crude catalog system for my life. Here were written the actions of my every moment, big and small, in a detail my memory couldn't match. A sense of wonder and curiosity, coupled with horror, stirred within me as I began randomly opening files and exploring their content. Some brought joy and sweet memories; others a sense of shame and regret so intense that I would look over my shoulder to see if anyone was watching.

A file named 'Friends' was next to one marked 'Friends I have betrayed.' The titles ranged from the mundane to the outright weird 'Books I Have Read,' 'Lies I Have Told,' 'Comfort I have Given,' 'Jokes I Have Laughed at .' Some were almost hilarious in their exactness: 'Things I've yelled at my brothers.' Others I couldn't laugh at: 'Things I Have Done in My Anger', 'Things I Have Muttered Under My Breath at My Parents.' I never ceased to be surprised by the contents.

Often there were many more cards than I expected. Sometimes fewer than I hoped. I was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of the life I had lived. Could it be possible that I had the time in my years to fill each of these thousands or even millions of cards? But each card confirmed this truth. Each was written in my own handwriting. Each signed with my signature.

When I pulled out the file marked 'TV Shows I have watched', I realized the files grew to contain their contents. The cards were packed tightly, and yet after two or three yards, I hadn't found the end of the file. I shut it, shamed, not so much by the quality of shows but more by the vast time I knew that file represented.

When I came to a file marked 'Lustful Thoughts,' I felt a chill run through my body. I pulled the file out only an inch, not willing to test its size and drew out a card. I shuddered at its detailed content.

I felt sick to think that such a moment had been recorded. An almost animal rage broke on me. One thought dominated my mind: No one must ever see these cards! No one must ever see this room! I have to destroy them!' In insane frenzy I yanked the file out. Its size didn't matter now. I had to empty it and burn the cards. But as I took it at one end and began pounding it on the floor, I could not dislodge a single card. I became desperate and pulled out a card, only to find it as strong as steel when I tried to tear it.

Defeated and utterly helpless, I returned the file to its slot. Leaning my forehead against the wall, I let out a long, self-pitying sigh.

And then I saw it.. The title bore 'People I Have Shared the Gospel With.' The handle was brighter than those around it,seemed newer, almost unused. I pulled on its handle and a small box not more than three inches long fell into my hands. I could count the cards it contained on one hand.

And then the tears came. I began to weep. Sobs so deep that they hurt. They started in my stomach and shook through me. I fell on my knees and cried. I cried out of shame, from the overwhelming shame of it all. The rows of file shelves swirled in my tear-filled eyes. No one must ever, ever know of this room. I must lock it up and hide the key. But then as I pushed away the tears, I saw Him.

No, please not Him. Not here. Oh, anyone but Jesus. I watched helplessly as He began to open the files and read the cards. I couldn't bear to watch His response. And in the moments I could bring myself to look at His face, I saw a sorrow deeper than my own.

He seemed to intuitively go to the worst boxes. Why did He have to read every one? Finally He turned and looked at me from across the room. He looked at me with pity in His eyes. But this was a pity that didn't anger me. I dropped my head, covered my face with my hands and began to cry again. He walked over and put His arm around me. He could have said so many things. But He didn't say a word. He just cried with me.

Then He got up and walked back to the wall of files. Starting at one end of the room, He took out a file and, one by one, began to sign His name over mine on each card. 'No!' I shouted rushing to Him. All I could find to say was 'No, no,' as I pulled the card from Him. His name shouldn't be on these cards. But there it was, written in red so rich, so dark, so alive. The name of Jesus covered mine. It was written with His blood. He gently took the card back. He smiled a sad smile and began to sign the cards. I don't think I'll ever understand how He did it so quickly, but the next instant it seemed I heard Him close the last file and walk back to my side.

He placed His hand on my shoulder and said, 'It is finished.' I stood up, and He led me out of the room. There was no lock on its door. There were still cards to be written.

'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.'-Phil. 4:13 'For God so loved the world that He gave His only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.' If you feel the same way forward it so the love of Jesus will touch their lives also My 'People I shared the gospel with' file just got bigger, how about yours?

Grouper

Another fish kanna caught again.. poor thing is what i can say for now..
This time round the fish is damn big.. abt 2ft long, it could still move/ jerk even though its inner organs were removed.. its amazing[can i say its amazing?]

enough of fishy stuff..
start to rite out tonite since i kanna [fly kite by steve]
ask me to wait up for him.. but he is off.. never even leave a message saying that he will not be available.. haiz..

abt ant.. still waiting at the moment for him to add me as his friend on friendster.. the feelings can be said to be of more eagerness then to be just happy to be his friends..
our relationship can be consider as friends, childhood playmate/relative.. dunno which is better to describe the connection.. this ?? came to me went chatting wif steve on 3rd jan 2008.., i wasnt available on 1st jan 2008, and i told him where i was..

i was at 2 wake on the first day of the year..
of all days.. the 1st day of 2008, i went to 2 wakes..not 1 but 2..
i is 3rd grand aunt, another is ant's grand dad [father's side]

one additional connection arises at the wake.. guess what?
its mrs lee, wong lee jong she is the daughter in law of 3rd grand aunt..
what a coincidence..

so i told him that i went to two of my relative wakes lor..

opps, its getting too late liao..
need to go..
tomolo got driving lessons which starts at 0950..
will be going on the road [what.. is the first thing that came into my mind when the instructor told me jus now] he said that the target speed will be approx. 50km, 4th gear.. i am very nervous now.. dunno how.. quite panicky too.. coz i stalled the engine a few times today..
quite risky is it is on the main road...

wish me luck..
would be better if it if the same instructor again.. [quite good looking and sweet..]
name was mohd ali..

promised to rite up on WYD.. but to no avail.. next time ba...

GB Days

GB days..

Dunno whether it is call fate anot..
suddenly decided to play GB since Dec 2007.

Maybe its fate, as i didnt start when kailun asked to join since 2003.. Recently thru tis game, i made a new friend.. call it a friend from my point of view.. for him, i think he might tink too much, hope i wont hurt him and he dun noe that i am writing bout him.. however i hope this friendship would last..

i dunno maybe its the leo that is in me that causes the negligence to my friends and family.. the rat year is coming soon..zi zi zi zi zi hoping for the better is the best i can do..

suddenly have the urge to call my friends and most importantly mr ant, i really want to noe whether he still can remember me anot..
this urge was caused by the message that was brought on air in the afternoon of 21 jan 2008, where the 2 djs talk abt kids this days having to stay wif friends or relative is almost the same as staying with strangers (anything can happen).

my imagination has always ran wild, i believe i should get hold of myself b4 it is too late..

its late now.. think i should rest.. i am becoming more like ms panda lately..

talk bout WYD 2008 next time..
dunno when i will drop by again..
see my previous post so long ago.. haha LOL
its bout SMP.. i just got my results.. guess what? its boy for both SMP an PSC.. now i waiting for the PC results, heard that there are quite a number of failures.. dunno wherther i am one of them anot? think maybe i am, as i didnt did as much studies as SMP and PSC.. i would be very grateful if i got a pass.. (honestly, i didnt study) failed also no choice.. have to retake it..

good nite.. or gd day to whoever is reading or trying to catch some balls here.. hehe

lastly welcoming the zi zi zi zi year
