i've always known it...

It is 7.55am now..as planned, before 8am i have completed my reading of the old testament.
Yeah i am so determined to finish off the reading..so much so that i spent the whole night reading the children's picture bible.
Miraculously, though without sleeping, my mind is fresh and i do not sleepy at all!!! Could it be God who give me the strength??? (because normally i would feel sleepy after staying up whole night...but not this time..) *wondering*
Despite reading bible (children version), the retold stories are simply exciting and informative (esp for people like me who are a non-Christian). My head now is filled with the many characters and adventures in the stories. God, Abraham, Isaac,Moses, David, King Solomon, Daniel, Israelites, the Jews, Babylon, etc. Honestly, after reading the bible, my sense of virtues and beliefs of God have become increasingly stronger. Living in today's corrupted society which are filled with crimes, senseless murders and wars, and the extremists, it is easy to lose one's virtue as one is spiritually weakened to a great extent. Okay i won't be going any further...i am not the type that are too religious..... ;)
Last few days when i was sick and resting at home i suddenly noticed the bible which has not been touched for quite some time. It was a present from a dear friend of mine. Interestingly enough, i picked on the book and began flippping through the pages. At first, i felt rather lazy. Perhaps i just can't sit still for too long and get easily distracted...After several attempts to stay focused, i finally managed to do so. As i read , i become more inquisitive and last night i flipped through untill the end.
Well, i do not regret..not even a bit..for reading this bible. I shall resume the reading during my coming break. ;) for those who are interested to have an insight into how the world begins, don't hesitate to get your hands on this book. ;P
