Novels by Frank.

Bro bought couple of novels, which is written by Frank E. Peretti, i.e This present of darkness and Piercing the darkness. At the beginning I was not too interested to read these books. I thought these novels would be quite similar with other ordinary thriller stories. But then, I felt bored nothing to do at that moment, I saw the books laid at the TV desk. I reached one of them and started to read... one page has passed... nothing special... until several pages, the real content of the book was introduced slowly but sure.. then I couldn't stop.. felt curious what happened next with the story... After finished with the first one, then I continued to read another one. Both of them are really great, and so real and easy to follow. Mainly these books telling about the spiritual warfare around our real life.. I was pulled into a spiritual world and was witnessing the warfare going on, which something that I never aware of. Regardless whether the story is true or not, these books gave a broad and clear picture about the spiritual realm, and how the angels do their works. I really recommend others to read these books, you'll never regret it. I bet.

Think About His Love

Think about His love
Think about His goodness
Think about His grace
That's brought us through.

For as high as the heavens above
So great is the measure of our Father's love
Great is the measure of our Father's love.

How could I forget His love?
How could I forget His mercy?
He satisfies, He satisfies,
He satisfies my desires.
Great is the measure of our Father's love.

Comment:
This morning when I drove to my office, as ussual I turned on the radio, then this song came out from the radio speaker. This song has brought back my concentration to the road, as my mind worked hard thinking about many many things, struggles, human pathetic life. This song has reminded me, for whatever our condition, we still have His love. His love will comfort us whenever we are down. Always think about His love.

Chaos or Tragedy ?

The past few weeks has passed with a bit plain, until about two weeks ago one of my best friend (Mega) from campus sent me a sms at midnight said that an accident killed my friend (John) on the way he went home from his office. I just can't believed it that he has passed away, because just one hour before the accidence he just posted an email to our alumni miling list. I have known him since I was in the third semester of my bachelor degree. We worked together as teaching assistant for a software laboratory at our campus. I also know his fiancee (yenny) well, because we work at the same office. John was known as a such caring, nice and smart person. I can't imagine how shock and sad his family, friends and fiancee when they heard this bad news.

Just a few days ago before the accident, I was thinking that Yenny has a perfect life. I envied her. She is smart, has a good career, has a great fiancee, in short she has everything that a girl dream on. They have built relationship for five years, have bought a house mortgage, lease a car and plan to get married by June this year. All of these has gone when this accidence happened. When I received the news, I asked in my heart over and over why this happened especially when everything seems so perfect? Don't God has eyes or heart in ruling this world. I know God has his own purpose and objective when allowing something happened to us, this maybe go beyond our thought and mind.

Until now Yenny is still absence for work. I can understand how her feeling is, this accidence has given a big grief into her life history. I really eager to ease a litle of her pain but don't know how to do it. I don't have courage to call or even sms her, afraid if my call or sms can remind her to John. I just can pray that God can make her understand and strength after this tragedy.

Aside from the grief and sadness of this tragedy, this accident also reminded me that we, humans are so small and powerless. Our everything can disappear in just a second. I asked myself am I ready if that happen to me? Oh Lord, please give us Your Strength. Amin.
