Basic Safety Training

05-14 April 2010 - Bacoor, Cavite. This training really has ups and the downs for all it's worth. It was really nice to meet new people and learn a lot of new things. Pity, there was so much potential to learn only the teachers were sort of... incompetent... really. A lot of times you think you're wasting your life sitting listening to well worn jabs repeated every few minutes. Sigh... The things you endure for money hahaha ^_^

Firefighting Practical Exam

I handled a firehose and a fire extinguisher, I didn't know there were so many kinds! You can't just grab one and put out a fire. You have to know what kind to use for what kind of fire or you can end up making it bigger... They didn't teach that in medschool ^_^ tee hee

Jesus is a Seed

"as scripture says: What no eye has seen and no ear has heard, what the mind of man cannot visualise; all that God has prepared for those who love him"
-- 1 Corinthians, Chapter 2:9

Easter Sunday in Santo Domingo. The father friar spoke of Jesus resurrection comparing it with two other terms commonly mistaken or associated with it - reanimation and reincarnation.

He explained reanimation by giving examples. Jesus' raising Lazarus from the dead he says was NOT resurrection. Lazarus rose to the same life, being the same person as he was before he died. Also he raised two more people, the only son of a widow from Nain (Luke 7:11-14) and the daughter of the religious leader Jairus (Mark 5:22-43. Both in the same light as Lazarus. Same Person. Same Life.

Reincarnation is the belief of Hindi that you are reborn back on the earth based on the deeds and how you lived your life. You can be reborn in a better state or caste or be born something repulsive like a cockroach.

When Jesus was resurrected, His disciples and even Mary Magadelene at first did not recognize Him. He resurrected. He WAS Jesus yet He was also something more. He ate. He mingled. He was still himself yet He was something more. Something that is not subjected to the limitations of human life. And this is the life he promises us in His second coming. Father Friar said St. Paul explained this better in 1 Corinthians Chapter 15 by giving an example. We are like seeds. When we die, we go into the ground only to rise up into something great. A corn plant is the same as from where it came from, a corn seed. Yet still something better. St. Paul continues that through one man, Adam, we all died, and it is only right that through one very special man again we should gain life.
