Today i went to church, and learnt one thing.
If there was one thing in the whole of the bible that is important , it is that Jesus rose from the dead. Can u imagine if that did not happen, then whatever we've believed in , would be in vain because it just means we're praying to a dead person. It means that Satan would have won . It would mean that every other person that has died believing that Jesus is God would not be in heaven as promised. There would basically be no hope at all.
The first book in the bible, Genesis has its very first mention of the gospel.
It says in Genesis 3:15 - And i will put enmity between thee and the woman and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head and thou shalt bruise his heel.
When Jesus died on the cross, Satan was glad. That would mean the end of hope for the people. But when Jesus rose from the dead, it was a bruise to Satan's head. Which is a worst injury? A leg injury or a head injury?
In 1 Corinthians 15:12 , it talks about how people doubt the resurrection of Christ. In the old days, it was very hard for the Jews to accept the duality of Jesus, that he would be man, and God. That theory only existed in Greek Philosophy, where you have stories of Hercules and all the gods, so it was hard for the Jews to accept something like that.
It says in the bible :
1 Corinthians 15:12-19 (King James Version)
Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
That is why , if anything the most important thing we can take from the Christian faith, is that Jesus conquered the grave and that He is alive, there is hope.

I"m a Vampire and I've lost my fangs
I've been listening to the Juno OST the past few days. Good soundtrack.
I think i'm losing my way with words. I can't seem to write them as well as i used to. I hope it has nothing to do with age.
Recently i've been bugged by work issues ; of things to come, and things that have already happened and are on going, and of the person i work closely with. I think it's important to have someone you are comfortable with, and can work with , but there are times, when i feel that i would rather much be on my own. There's nothing worst than working with someone that has a weird temperament. I think to nip the problem in the bud, it is to ignore how one feels, and just be professional about it. Just think of the end, which is getting the work done, and getting it done well. Maybe I'm too nice, which is what most people think of me, and then there is naivety. It's hard drawing the line i feel. How can one be nice, and not naive? Perhaps it is not letting people take advantage of me? Well, i need prayer in that area, in handling people.
After working at my new place, I've learnt a lot about people. That most of the time, we are driven by our opinions of them, and others opinion of them. That's not new right? But i think I'm really understand that point nowadays. I may not like everyone i work with, but you know there are times when i try to just forget about how i feel about them, and then just treat them as-is, and i find out they are not too bad after all. I think i want to do that more often. Some of the people i used to talk about or really dislike, i think they're alright.
There's going to be a change in my job scope soon enough. I really want to be able to do it well, and i'm sure God will help me by helping me to see what's important, and with a quick mind to do my job well. I don't want to compete with people. I just want to do my job and be happy. I don't want to be a bitch either to the people around me no matter how they treat me, because it's just not right. But, i want to be firm with people. So if you're reading this, say a little prayer for me when you happen to think about me. That Jayne will be grounded as a person, and happy.
