So what's next... what's important in life? Well, today we talked about so many things... largely a lot about religion. Aunt Theresa said that she firmly believes this is the end times and what we can do is really to prepare ourselves, whether our end time be our natural death or else. We talked about what God really wants from us, and we agreed it was "Love" - that the greatest commandment was "Love your God,.. etc etc" and the second "Love your neighbour as yourself". Dad was confused. He said, "obedience"... to which i rebutted most vehemently. Dad is still stuck in the old testament and the 10 commandments, whereas when Jesus came, we all know that he gave us a "new" commandment, to Love. And that is all there is, everything is summed up in his 2 greatest commandments. Oh dear. From here, I kinda get where my Dad's world-view lies and his perspective of God --- someone who wants us to "obey" Him. True, but Love is a nicer word. We obey because we Love God. So it's both correct, but it's just how you put it, in a legalistic way (obey or die) or a freedom way (we obey because we choose to, out of love).

Well, what i think is impt in life... basically now, I can say are these 2 things:

1) Meeting God. To have Love for God and to do his will in my life, and to live with a purpose. The end times is near and I need to realise that everyday, we are one day closer to meeting God.

2) Family. What is important? if we do not treasure our family or precious ones, they will be taken away from us and it will be too late.

That's it!
