| You Are 40% Weird |
 Normal enough to know that you're weird... But too damn weird to do anything about it! |
| Your Observation Skills Get A B- |
 Your senses are pretty sharp (okay, most of the time) And it takes something big to distract you! |

How weird am I?
Work break musings....
Thanks guys for commenting on the last entry.
1/12 of 2006 is almost over! Wow that's fast! I hardly feel time 'moved' and 1 month's over. It's a good reminder that we need to use time wisely- doing things that will give us the best returns.
I think using time is like investments. What's the ROI? What's the return? Short term or long term? What can we do that no one else around us can do better? Why the heck am I not thinking more in terms of this lines.
When I start to think in terms of this, I realised my life is much simpler. There's just that few things I need to do and it helps me prioritise. Makes my life simpler. For those things I need to do, I'd gotta be responsible for them.
Problems come when I stop to think. I do things for the sake of doing it. Sounds simple? Yet so difficult. After doing some things for like the 100th times, I forget the 'why'. I go on an auto-cruise mode - without much goal or objective - simply because I have to.
Being in auto-cruise mode is easy. I just go with the system. It 'feels' that my life is safe and secure -- which is plain stupidity! Because I was merely wasting my time doing things for the sake of doing it and adding no value to me and to the ppl around me. (since I'm hitting 30 soon... time has a new meaning)
Having asked myself many brutally honest questions, Im glad I've made some changes in my life this year already. The changes are not easy and its impact to be measured at the end of the year.

What's a good/great Christian?
Thanks ppl for your comments! They are awesome. While I also dunno the answer....
but a christian is firstly a follower of Christ- a lover, a friend, a servant...etc In the whole equation, relationship is key. What's a good christian to me? one that has good relationship with God. What's a great Christian? One that has a great relationship with God. Tada! :))
*****
In the early part of the year I was also thinking: if I'm not doing any 'churchy' stuff, what do i do that defines me as a Christian? :)

Early this week a very close friend gave me a line which stuck to me:
The spirit of excellence has nothing to do with being perfect.

Good to Great
I have been pondering what is a good christian?
We go to church, pray, do our quiet time. We lend a helpling hand. We study the word of God. I guess we are.
What will make us great christian? or better written as great followers of christ?
Share your views.

Martha's a good follower but, paraphrasing our Lord, "Dont' stop Mary, she has chosen the better..."
