no two ways about it


someone told me this:
to prevent yourself from getting disappointed by your results..
aim low


i was skeptical about its effects
but thought i would give a try cos this exam[prelims] wasnt going to be good
o well..it didnt work!


getting back the results with or without expectations was erm..painful
i tried to aim low for the papers i knew i screwed up
but holding the marked scripts in my hand
staring at the marks scribbled boldly in red..
it basically didnt feel good


good will always be good
bad will always be bad
there's no two ways about it
there's no trying to fool yourself about it
no matter how hard you try to


thats how our relationship with sin works too
often we try to rationalise out mistakes
and attempt to reduce the 'severity' of our sins with various excuses
but deep down inside we know thats what we did is still wrong
and that we deserved to be punished


but unlike exam results..
sin has been paid for with grace:)
