fire engines and preaching

the previous night somebody cooked really lousily or tried to play matchsticks, at around late 2am...

2 LARGE FIRE ENGINES and 1 SMALLER ONE CAME!!!
was like omg.. anyway the smoke was quite bad. it came from the opposite block. my mum called 999 but seemed like someone called beforehand and gave the wrong block number lol.

actually, my mum made 2 calls. first was to tell them to come down. then she asked me, is it me or is the smoke subsiding already? and i said oh no i think so. and she made the second call, "hello i just now call ah.. i think dont need send the fire engine coz maybe the smoke stop already", as if the emergency hotline person machiam our fwen lidat.

and the firefighters ran down from the engines and it was really hilarious coz the first few was dashing to the lifts, but the few at the back wore super bulky suits and were struggling with their extinguishers and some bags of stuff. super uncool but hilarious.

but there wasnt any casualties carried out. so damm curious over what actually happened. there's like so much manpower involved in this freak accident. is it really bad cooking or what.

anyway i didnt go for church at all today. :( cried a little and was thinking *quite extreme* to skip church for a period of time and pretend to go havoc and make my father wished i was going to church instead, just to show him some colours. im that vengeful actually.. but i think nobody would find this a "good idea" and i think i shall be a good girl..

watched the preaching online though and i think it was good. and really true about christianity.
pastor says charismatic christians tend to build this "virtual reality evangelism", where we cry, pray, tithe, offer money, ie the hard-core stuff in my own words, but in the end had no guts to really save the lost. "We were crying about saving the lost but we did not save the lost"

he hit the nail on the head, a very frank and eyeopening statement. he continued to list out the negative points, further supporting by stating that

1. we make ourselves feel like we have done our parts by doing all that
2. we're too selective over who to bring to church

and i like his bus ministry stories, and the portrayal of snobbish people in his church. i feel guilty about that snobiety thing, coz i did practiced that when i was pissed when this girl didnt pay me the share of her cab fare to me even though i knew she wasnt well-off. and i always think that she's a sponge and sometimes really difficult to handle.

what would jesus do really?? and i am really curious how the pastor manage to hold up having many bottom-line-reducing-members (those who come from impoverished and high crime rate towns) and losing profitable-snobbish-members. if i were him, i would find it difficult to be so charitable.

the pastor said that paul was an unconsciously an hypocrite though i have yet to check the bible on this/ missed some bits on the preaching.

0432am now. hahaha lucky this is not homework.. tired to think of a conclusion to this. bye!
