An academic point of view
I'm currently taking a class called World Religions, and the current topic is on Christianity. It is interesting to learn my religion from an academic side. Anw, I came across this mind-boggling verse in class today, it made me laugh actually. :P
Romans 7:14-25 (New International Version)
14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[a] For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature[b] a slave to the law of sin.

You'll never know
So, those two explosives were supposed to be delivered to synagogues or Jewish community centres in Chicago. Just a random thought, what if someone check in these "printers" in one of my flights to Chicago? o.0 Life is so interesting precisely because it's so unpredictable isn't?

Revelation
Is overseas education over-rated?
What an oxymoron- I am disheartened and hopeful at the same time. Maybe the real apple has yet to drop. Maybe it's a wake up call for me to focus on the greater picture, a picture that lasts forever.
