[this was from an e-mail]
After living what I felt was a 'decent' life, my time on earth came to the end.
The first thing I remember is sitting on a bench in the waitingroom of what I thought to be a court house.The doors opened and I was instructed to come in and have a seat by the defense table.As I looked around I saw the 'prosecutor.'He was a villainous looking gent who snarled as he stared at me.
He definitely was the most evil person I have ever seen.
I sat down and looked to my left and there sat My Attorney,a kind and gentle looking man whose appearance seemed so familiar tome, I felt I knew Him.
The corner door flew open and there appeared the Judge in fullflowing robes.
He commanded an awesome presence as He moved across the room I couldn't take my eyes off of Him.
As He took His seat behind the bench, He said, 'Let us begin.'
The prosecutor rose and said,'My name is Satan and I am here to show you why this womanbelongs in hell.'
He proceeded to tell of lies that I told, things that I stole, and In the past when I cheated others Satan told of other horriblePerversions that were once in my life and the more he spoke, thefurther down in my seat I sank.
I was so embarrassed that I couldn't look at anyone, even my own Attorney, as the Devil told of sins that even I had completelyforgotten about.
As upset as I was at Satan for telling all these things about me, I was equally upset at My Attorney who sat there silently not Offering any form of defense at all.
I know I had been guilty of those things, but I had done some good in my life - couldn't that at least equal out part of the harm I'd done?
Satan finished with a fury and said, 'This woman belongs in hell,she is guilty of all that I have charged and there is not a personwho can prove otherwise.'
When it was His turn, My Attorney first asked if He might approach the bench.
The Judge allowed this over the strong objection of Satan,and beckoned Him to come forward.
As He got up and started walking, I was able to see Him inHis full splendor and majesty.
I realized why He seemed so familiar; this was Jesus representing me,
my Lord and my Savior.
He stopped at the bench and softly said to the Judge, 'Hi,Dad,' and then He turned to address the court.
'Satan was correct in saying that this woman had sinned, I won't deny any of these allegations.
And, yes, the wage of sin is death, and this woman deserves to bepunished.
Jesus took a deep breath and turned to His Father withoutstretched arms and proclaimed, 'However, I died on the cross sothat this person might have eternal life and she has accepted Me as her Savior, so she is Mine.'
My Lord continued with, 'Her name is written in the Book of Life,and no one can snatch her from Me.
Satan still does not understand yet. This woman is not to be given justice, but rather mercy..'
As Jesus sat down,He quietly paused, looked at His Father and said,'There is nothing else that needs to be done.''I've done it all.'The Judge lifted His mighty hand and slammed the gavel down.The following words bellowed from His lips..'This woman is free.''The penalty for her has already been paid in full.''Case dismissed.'As my Lord led me away, I could hear Satan ranting and raving,'I won't give up, I will win the next one.' I asked Jesus as He gaveme my instructions where to go next, 'Have you ever lost a case?' Christ lovingly smiled and said,'Everyone that has come to Me and asked Me to represent them has received the same verdict as you

Went to Bras Besah quite a number of days ago to get materials for the model. We met Kelly along the way and he told us to try sagacity. the price of the stuff there were quite stunning, cheaper than the prices we knew about but as i had not really sat down and thought about the model i dint really want to buy much materials just yet except for an aluminium sheet. That day, i had wanted to rush back to IJ to collect my graduation cert however had somehow boarded the "wrong train" and ended up late as the office closes at 4.30 and thus i bumped into Amanda at toa payoh. She knew that i had to get materials and suggested that i go to the market to find some but i was carrying quite a lot of things so she kindly offered to go along with me. When we were about to reach the bus stop, we saw a heap of wood thrown outside a building. We got down and found even more wood which was nearer to the bus stop. We asked the people working there if we could take some and they were like "take take" the planks were huge but Amanda kindly helped me to carry them all the way home! Really blessed!
