This is a wonderful message to share around with.
In HIS Love...
A priest passing through his church
in the middle of the day,
Decided to pause by the altar
and see who had come to pray.
Just then the back door opened,
a man came down the aisle,
The priest frowned as he saw
the man hadn't shaved in a while.
His shirt was kind of shabby
and his coat was worn and frayed,
the man knelt, he bowed his head,
Then rose and walked away.
In the days that followed,
each noon time came this chap,
each time he knelt just for a moment,
A lunch pail in his lap
Well, the priest's suspicions grew,
with robbery a main fear,
He decided to stop the man and ask him,
'What are you doing here?'
The old man said, he worked down the road.
Lunch was half an hour.
Lunchtime was his prayer time,
For finding strength and power
'I stay only moments, see,
because the factory is so far away;
as I kneel here talking to the Lord,
This is kind a what I say:
'I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, LORD,
HOW HAPPY I'VE BEEN,
SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHER'S FRIENDSHIP
AND YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN.
DON'T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY,
BUT I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY.
SO, JESUS, THIS IS JIM
CHECKING IN TODAY.'
The priest feeling foolish,
told Jim, that was fine.
He told the man he was welcome
To come and pray just anytime.
Time to go, Jim smiled, said 'Thanks.'
He hurried to the door.
The priest knelt at the altar,
he'd never done it before.
His cold heart melted, warmed with love,
and met with Jesus there.
As the tears flowed, in his heart,
he repeated old Jim's prayer:
'I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, LORD,
HOW HAPPY I'VE BEEN,
SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHER'S FRIENDSHIP
AND YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN.
I DON'T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY, BUT
I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY.
SO, JESUS, THIS IS ME CHECKING IN TODAY'
Past noon one day, the priest noticed
that old Jim hadn't come.
As more days passed without Jim,
he began to worry some.
At the factory, he asked about him ,
learning he was ill.
The hospital staff was worried,
But he'd given them a thrill.
The week that Jim was with them,
Brought changes in the ward.
His smiles, a joy contagious.
Changed people, were his reward.
The head nurse couldn't understand
why Jim was so glad,
when no flowers, calls or cards came,
Not a visitor he had.
The priest stayed by his bed,
He voiced the nurse's concern:
No friends came to show they cared.
He had nowhere to turn.
Looking surprised, old Jim spoke
up and with a winsome smile;
'the nurse is wrong, she couldn't know,
that in here all the while
everyday at noon He's here,
a dear friend of mine, you see,
He sits right down, takes my hand,
Leans over and says to me:
'I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, JIM,
HOW HAPPY I HAVE BEEN,
SINCE WE FOUND THIS FRIENDSHIP,
AND I TOOK AWAY YOUR SIN.
ALWAYS LOVE TO HEAR YOU PRAY,
I THINK ABOUT YOU EACH DAY,
AND SO JIM, THIS IS JESUS
CHECKING IN TODAY.'
If this blesses you, pass it on
Many people will walk in and out of your life,
but only true friends will leave
footprints in your heart.
May God hold you in the palm of His hand
and Angels watch over you.
But for those of us who are already His, He not
only holds us in the palm of His hand, but has
engraved our names there, and we are continually
in His sight (Isaiah 49:16)
This is too good not to share -
So this is me ... Just Checking In.

GUIDE TO A BETTER LIFE
This is amazing, he died of pancreatic cancer in 2008, but wrote a book ‘The last lecture” before then, one of the bestsellers in 2007. What a legacy to leave behind…
In a letter to his wife Jai and his children, Dylan, Logan, and Chloe, he wrote this beautiful "guide to a better life" for his wife and children to follow.
May you be blessed by his insight.
POINTS ON HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE
Personality:
1. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
2. Don't have negative thoughts of things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment
3. Don't over do; keep your limits
4. Don't take yourself so seriously; no one else does
5. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip
6. Dream more while you are awake
7. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need..
8. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner of his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
9. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
10. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present
11. No one is in charge of your happiness except you
12. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn.
Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
13. Smile and laugh more
14. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
Community:
15. Call your family often
16. Each day give something good to others
17. Forgive everyone for everything
18. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6
19. Try to make at least three people smile each day
20. What other people think of you is none of your business
21. Your job will not take care of you when you are sick. Your family and friends will. Stay in touch.
Life:
22. Put GOD first in anything and everything that you think, say and do.
23. GOD heals everything
24. Do the right things
25. However good or bad a situation is, it will change
26. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up
27. The best is yet to come
28. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful
29. When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it
30. If you know GOD you will always be happy. So, be happy.
While you practice all of the above, share this knowledge with the people you love, people you school with,
people you play with, people you work with and people you live with.
Not only will it enrich YOUR life, but also that of those around you.

Crucial for everyone, especially females--
A police officer wrote this! Please read coz may save your life!
Sometimes the little things we do, can make the biggest difference!
I'm not one who normally forward emails (as I find them annoying), but for the ones that I do, I believe that they might potentially help someone out.
I know that some of the items below have been sent over and over again! But sometimes we do forget about it and a reminder now and then is always good for us all!
Please pass on to your friends and family!
Crucial…
Because of recent abductions
In daylight hours, refresh yourself of these things to do
in an emergency situation...
This is for you & for you to share with your wife,
your children & everyone you know.
After reading these 9 crucial tips,
forward them to someone you care about.
It never hurts to be careful
in this crazy world we live in.
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do:
The elbow is the strongest point
on your body.
If you are close enough to use it, do!
2. Learned this from a tourist guide.
If a robber asks for your wallet or purse,
DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM.
Toss it away from you....
Chances are that he is more interested
in your wallet or purse than you & he will go for the wallet/purse.
RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car,
kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out
the hole & start waving like crazy.
The driver won't see you, but everybody else will.
This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars
after shopping, eating, working, etc., & just sit
(doing their cheque book, or making a list, etc.
(DON'T DO THIS!)
The predator may be watching you,
& this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in
on the passenger side, put a gun to your head,
and tell you where to go.
AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR,
LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE....
If someone is in the car with a gun to your head
DO NOT DRIVE OFF,
Repeat:
DO NOT DRIVE OFF!
Instead run the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car.
Your Air Bag will save you.
If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it.
As soon as the car crashes bail out and run.
It is better than having your body found in a remote location.
5. A few notes about getting
into your car in a parking lot or parking garage:
A.) Be Aware:
look around you, look into your car,
at the passenger side floor, and in the back seat
B.) If you are parked next to a big van,
enter your car from the passenger door.
Most serial killers attack their female victims
by pulling them into their vans while the women
are attempting to get into their cars.
C.) Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle,
& on the passenger side.... if a male is sitting alone
in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back
into the mall, or work & get a
guard/policeman to walk you back out.
IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY.
(And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs.
Stairwells are horrible places to be alone,
& the perfect crime spot.
This is especially true at NIGHT!
7. If the predator has a gun & you are not under his control,
ALWAYS RUN!
The predator will only hit you (a running target)
4 in 100 times, & even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ.
RUN, preferably in a zig -zag pattern!
8. As women, we are always trying
to be sympathetic:
STOP!!
It may get you raped, or killed.
Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking,
well educated man,
who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women.
He walked with a cane, or a limp,
& often asked 'for help' into his vehicle or with his vehicle,
which is when he abducted his next victim.
9. Another Safety Point:
Someone just told me that her friend heard
a crying baby on her porch the night before last
& she called the police because it was late
& she thought it was weird... The police told her
'Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door..'
The lady then said that it sounded like the baby
had crawled near a window & she was worried
that it would crawl to the street & get run over.
The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way,
whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.'
He told her that they think a serial killer
has a baby's cry recorded & uses it to coax
women out of their homes, thinking that someone
dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it,
but have had several calls by women saying that
they hear baby's cries outside their doors
when they're home alone at night.
10. Water Scam!
If you wake up in the middle
of the night to hear all your taps outside running,
or what you think is a burst pipe,
DO NOT GO OUT TO INVESTIGATE!
These people turn on all your outside taps
full bore so that you will go out to investigate
& then they attack.
Stay alert, keep safe, and look out for your neighbours!
Please pass this on.
This e-mail should probably be taken seriously because
the Crying Baby Theory was mentioned on
America 's Most Wanted when they profiled
the serial killer in Louisiana
I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know.
It may save a life.
A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle..
I was going to send this to the ladies only, but guys,
if you love your mothers, wives,sisters,daughters, etc.,
you may want to pass it onto them, as well.
Send this to any woman you know that may need
to be reminded that the world we live in
has a lot of crazies in it, & it's better to be safe than sorry..
Everyone should take 5 minutes
to read this.
It may save your life or
a loved one's life

Gambling of Taiwan Artist in Singapore
Jay Chou blows RM4.6mil in Singapore casino in two days
Other News & View
Compiled by ZUHRIN AZAM AHMAD, BEH YUEN HUI and A.RAMAN
TAIWANESE pop star Jay Chou lost nearly S$2mil (RM4.6mil) at a casino in Singapore, Nanyang Siang Pau reported.
The superstar had visited the Marina Bay Sands Casino during his concert tour in the republic last month.
He gambled off between S$100,000 and S$200,000 (RM232,000 and RM463,000) per bet. In just two days, Chou lost almost S$2mil (RM4.6mil) playing bacarrat.
A customer of the casino said Chou was accompanied by his manager and male friends.
According to the customer, Chou had good etiquette on the gambling table and he only wanted to be served by “aunties”.
> China Press reported that a pedestrian who was allegedly knocked down by a former Romanian diplomat to Singapore has won the civil suit.
The Singapore court, in default judgement, ruled that diplomat Dr Silviu lonescu has to pay Bong Hwee Haw for damages and the amount would be decided later.
Bong had earlier sought more than S$639,000 (RM1.5mil) in damages.
Ionescu was allegedly involved in a hit-and-run accident last December in Singapore that killed Malaysian Tong Kok Wai, 30, and injured Bong, 24, and another pedestrian.
The diplomat is currently being detained in Romania.
> The daily also reported that a coroner’s court in Singapore has ruled the death of Vernon Leong Jun Wei, 31, as misadventure.
Leong fell off the rooftop of the Hilton Singapore hotel on his wedding night in November last year.
A forensic report revealed that the alcohol level in Leong’s body was 161/100ml — double the legal limit.
Evidence and closed circuit television footage showed that the drunk and disoriented Leong had got lost in the hotel’s fire exit stairway.
He could have stumbled in the dark and accidentally fall to his death.
Thirty-five weeks later, his wife Kerin Peh, 27, leapt to her death from her flat.

Rumours: Two moons on 27th August 2010
Two moons on 27th August 2010
27th Aug the Whole World is waiting for.............
Planet Mars will be the brightest in the night sky starting August. It will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. This will culminate on Aug. 27 when Mars comes within 34.65M miles off earth. Be sure to watch the sky on Aug. 27 12:30 am. It will look like the earth has 2 moons.
The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287.
Share this with your friends as NO ONE ALIVE TODAY will ever see it again.
Once again, it's been shared in my university's Petroleum Google Group, that they have rumours of having two moons in Earth...What it symbolizes? I don't know, perhaps you can google it. In order to find out whether it's true or not, we'll have to wait and see~

Latest scam tactics in Taiwan
BEWARE!!: Latest scam tactics in Taiwan...it will likely be nearer to you soon! So please beware.
DO NOT LEND YOUR HANDPHONE TO STRANGERS.
These con artists who will approach you are likely to be a female or an elderly person. They will tell you that they just got rob and need to call the police. Right in front of you, they will call 110, 911 or 119 (the emergency tel for the local police). They will speak loudly for you to hear that they are reporting a case but halfway through, they will pretend that the reception is poor and walk about 5meters away from you with their back towards you.
All they need is 1min and a tiny gadget that acts as a USB (available for sale in China) to copy your entire phone book contacts.
Then over the next few hours, they will SMS to all your contacts, pretending to be you (with your tel no appearing in your contact's phone). The SMS will say that you are now overseas, in trouble with the police, you cannot use your phone and that is why you are sending out SMS. You need help to transfer money to an account. Usually the amount they ask is within affordable range. Your phone will not be contactable for the few hours that they are busy sending out SMS. So your family and friends will believe you are in trouble.
The case below happened to a Taiwanese and he reported to the local police a few days later when his friends finally manage to contact him and he learned that he was being duped. The police told him that this is an old trick that they use to target tourists and now they are moving to the locals.
So my friends, please do not lend your phone to ANYONE you do not know. If they really want help, send them to the nearest police station!
