Easter is NOT about a Bunny Invasion

Our local shopping mall, East Village, has recently experienced a bunny invasion. Seriously, bunnies hang from baskets from the ceiling. Bunnies sit on the stage. Bunnies line the aisles in Coles supermarket. Bunnies can even be found 'driving' a car!

Yes, as you can deduce, it IS Easter time. But much as you would like to think, bunnies have close to nothing to do with Easter at all. In fact, even Easter eggs isn't part of the Christian Easter story.

The Christian Easter story is all about the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ, the Christian God, became man in order to save his people. Human kind need saving because of sin. Sin is the rejection of God as Lord over your life. The punishment of sin is eternal death. God saved his people by dying the perfect death for them. God, being perfect, died on Good Friday, a death He did not deserve. On Easter, Jesus overcame death by resurrecting from the dead. Resurrection meaning, rising from the dead and never to die again.

Christians celebrate Easter because when they put their trust in Jesus, when they die, they will be raised again and never to die again. Wait, what? If Christians were to all rise from the dead, there should be a whole bunch of dead Christians walking now. Christians believe that there's a heaven and a hell. Heaven being where God is, where life is; and hell being where God isn't, where death and no things good is. When man die, they face God, the judge over their lives. If one has put their trust in Jesus' death as payment for their sins, God will allow one entry to heaven. If one hasn't put their trust in Jesus' death as payment for their sins, God will judge them guilty of sin, and send one to hell - eternal death as a punishment.

So if this Christian belief is true, and if you die tonight, where would you be heading to? There is a lot more to gain than to lose in their belief. So put aside the bunnies (or the massive seafood intake), and put your faith into Jesus as your Saviour and Lord.

COVID-19 Stay at Home Day 7: Crispy Rice Cakes Recipe

Image
Hey guys! Just sharing a quick analogy about numbers and COVID-19 and why you should avoid the disease before I post my recipe of the day. Imagine you have a packet of M&Ms with 100 little chocolates in it. Now you're being told between 2-6 pieces in that packet has cyanide in it, and there are a few that will give you violent diahorrea what would you do?  1) Throw the whole packet away 2) Eat it cause I won't die from diahorrea 3) Eat it cause what's the risk of dying, it's just 2-6%?! 4) Eat it and share it with all your friends and family and even your doggy! Personally, the most logical answer for me is to throw the whole packet away. It's the same reason why I'm staying at home to help stop the spread of COVID-19. I guess it's really food for thought! That said, here's my recipe for today! I've had some leftover rice from last night and NO WAY, not wasting any rice as it's super hard to find rice out there. I've turn my lef...

How to pick your notebook for Bullet Journal

The bullet journal is a "back-to-traditional" organisational tool. It has won many fans not only from those who like being organised with to-do lists, but also from many craft and stationary enthusiast. If you've not heard of bullet journalling (or bujo for short), it is a system using a combination of long term and short term to-do lists, coupled with calendars to keep organised. Variations include meal prep lists, shopping lists, goals, etc. Many craft lovers also use their bujos for variations of paper crafts (like scrapbooking) and calligraphy. There are a good variety of different types and styles of notebooks available on the market. One of the most common dilemmas most newbies to bullet journalling have is what type of notebook to use. It might seem quite trivial for those who have never stepped into the bullet journalling world, but in fact the different types of notebook are used quite differently. To pick your first bullet journal, I've tried to catego...
