A normal yet fun day

Today was a rather normal and uneventful day, with a few exceptions of course. We started the day of by worshiping God and devotion shared by Terence. He shared with us the on The Vanity of Wealth and Honour from Ecclesiastes 5:8-20. We learnt that we shouldn't place wealth, honour and power as the priority in our lives but instead we should centre our lives around God, because these things are temporal and will not last forever. We should instead store up for ourselves treasures in heaven, where it will last forever. 
After the devotion, Pr. Gideon asked us many thought-provoking and mind blowing questions (as usual) on Terence's sharing. To cut a long story short, we came to the conclusion that we should be good stewards of God's money and that we should put the money to good use and use them wisely because it is God's gift to us.

Moving on, we started reading the book called "How do we glorify God". It seemed reasonably easy to understand at first. But as I continued to read, I started to get confused and stunned. Hopefully, Pr. Gideon will be able to clarify our doubts and answer the questions we have for him. And hopefully he won't ask us mind blowing questions again. They are really difficult to answer.


After lunch, I was unpleasantly surprised by the handsome Emmanuel. I approached the room and found that it was dark. I though nobody was inside, but as it turns out, the handsome Emmanuel was inside and he said "BOO!" and I got shocked. We decided to scare everyone who came in and Jonathan also got scared. Afterward, everyone was back except Pr. Gideon. We planned and schemed to try and scare him in the best way possible. Elaine had a Saw jacket which could be zipped all the way to cover the face. Emmanuel put it on and sat behind the door in the darkness while we all sat quietly in position waiting for Pr. Gideon. When Pr. Gideon walked in, Emmanuel grabbed his leg and scared the living day lights out of him.  

After we finished, we had a so called "mini-fellowship" in the room next door. We played 3 games, the first one was Chubby Bunny. We had to stuff as many marshmellows into our mouths and after stuffing every one marshmellow we have to say Chubby Bunny. Justin was the winner with 11 marshmellows. I still don't know how he did it.

We played Follow the Leader and some hand tapping current game afterward and I guess we had a lot of fun today. We also learnt a lot from Terence's and Pr Gideon's sharing about wealth and honour. Hopefully we will not forget this lesson and we will apply it in our lives.
