A Night's Drive:Musings and Observations

Do crabs get carsick?

If crabs get carsick, do they walk straight after that?

If open burning is not allowed in Malaysia, why is there a sign on the highway which reads AWAS: KAWASAN PEMBAKARAN TERBUKA (translated WARNING: OPEN BURNING AREA)?

How stupid do they think we are?

Why is the windscreen still clear (read: bug-less) after an hour's drive?

Why, immediately after wondering why the windscreen is bug-free, do some bugs go SPLAT! on the windscreen?

Are bugs psychic? Probably not, since they wouldn't have ended up as dirt on a windscreen if they are.

Slavery

When Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, they were effectively making a statement that they didn't want to live by God's rules, that they wanted to choose for themselves.

Maybe they thought that living by God's rules was restricting. Maybe they craved freedom.

Ironically, instead of being free, disobeying God meant that they became slaves to sin.

Interestingly, in Old Testament times, male slaves were marked by their ears - as in, if you're a guy and you're wearing an earring, it means you're a slave.

Another interesting fact - the hole in your ear will close up if you take the earring out. Physically, we're designed to be set free from slavery.

So even though we're slaves to sin, Jesus' death and resurrection sets us free from the bondage of sin.

I salt my pillow with tears

as unrelenting memories pepper a lonely ceiling.

It's a private theatre for sleepless eyes.
