some thoughts on hope


I know I'm crazy to think that Michael Jackson had just set up his own death and still is living somewhere watching his own life tributes going... like some BIG conspiracy theory of putting him out of the limelight just like what (Elvis Presley?!) did... but when I read about his family wanting a second autopsy because they weren't convinced with the 1st one ... damn! he really is DEAD... a part of my cherished childhood memory ... died with him ... =(

It's life afterall, we will all have to move on from this and as my husband say: "Don't talk about death as if there's no hope..." as I'm just sad to hear news like this and is worried about how the future will be, knowing that this is part of LIFE. We will all gonna be left and we will all gonna be leaving ... *sigh* HOPE as he says lies in his FAITH. I admire that he lives in such peace that life after death exists in heaven, as simple as we were told as kids. "There is heaven!" and when we die we go there if we are worthy and good. AS simple as that my husband lives in total surrender and joy... while I ... hmnn ... sad to say I have wavering spirituality. When sadness strikes, when pain strikes, when doubt strikes, I'm at loss... tsk.tsk. I do pray, I do. But sometimes, my "human" nature is too strong to defy, I have such complicated thoughts about life and complex understanding of living! I dont know why I can't take SIMPLE explanations like "because fate talks" or because "that's the way it is" I mean, I wanna know, I wanna be prepared, I wanna be warned against hurt.

... BUT on the other hand... I wanna STOP asking, I wanna STOP challenging God and the heavens ... I wanna accept the fact that LIFE is not forever and that is absolute! Life is that definite and short ... I could use some FAITH, really. I wanna let go and live like I used to be ... like WE all used to be as a CHILD. Trusting and RESILIENT. That no matter the pain and no matter the betrayal ... we still could LOVE, LAUGH and PLAY life through without a thought of giving up. Because we don't NEED a lot to HOPE, it's just letting go.

Hi Sassy
Yes it was sad about Michael.
However, personally I was sad when he changed his identity from a wonderful person to that white faced unnatural person. Oh well.
It does bring home our vulnerability and that we shall all die (eventually).
Personally I am very pleased someone 'led me to the Lord' about 35 years ago. I have given my heart to Jesus and I have EVERY faith that I shall go straight there when I die.
It's not actually what we do ourselves that earns us our salvation - it is what Jesus did. But that amounts to nothing pertsonally unless we acknowledge it and invite him in. He won't come into our lives unless we ask him - then we cross a very dark world into the Kingdom of God - a very exciting place. I am amazed that people reject this gift of eternal life in a young body with a fantastic future with a terrific fun guy, Jesus, with all our friends (those who have chosen this way)- quite amazing but they do. Whats 100 years against for ever - no contest!
Now that was a surprise wasn't it?
