But unfortunately, my peaceful moment has been cut off by me bumping with something hard. Don't know what happened next as I watched my self falling backwards in slow motion- showing my skills in acting.

'Spiritual Reflections' Over the past years, ever since I started interacting on social media by sharing my faith, writing short reflections about life has been uplifting to me and to the readers. By time, since 2012, I have embarked on writing monthly reflections and posting them in various social media platforms. These reflections which reflect my Christian faith have been read by numerous persons, persons who at times have also expressed their gratitude towards my thoughts. This Christian book, 'Spiritual Reflections', gathers these monthly reflections written over the past two years. These reflections were based on my personal experience of life, on experiences of my friends and relatives; they are about different social issues, but above all these reflections were written in a way to increase the faith of those people following Christ or seeking Him in their life. The intention of these thoughts is for the reader to stop and meditate upon the reflection he picks, and to seek God through personal prayer.

This is how easily two stiff souls can learn to bend, And pivot around the mulberry times Like dancers, defining their time and space.

As a young 17-year-old, David would like nothing more than to goof around with his friends, ask the girl he likes out and sit around a dinner table with his family. With no memory of the last time they did this, he seems to be living on a dream trying against odds to hold his family together. David is bent on his goal to love his father till he turns his life around and show his sister that persistent love can change anyone. Soon enough he realises that plans no matter how tight can break. Sara has been running for a long time. She can barely remember why she started or what she's aiming for. One thing she's certain of - Jim is at fault. At the speed she's maintained all her life, she's missed more than she realises and when her brother returns to their lives suddenly, she fights the urge to know more, to dig deep and figure out some long-buried emotions. Mike's life has comprised of jail terms, running, hiding and searching. When he meets a young woman, he finds purpose and passion in his otherwise bland life. Now the question is, will he have enough time to run back, uncover truths and search for the right things before it's too late? The loss of his wife brought Jim lower than ever. In his grief, he turns away from his children sowing deep hurt and resentment. In a sudden move to correct his mistakes, he seems to have forgotten how to do anything right. Will he get the chance to soothe his children's hurt or is his destiny already written in the stars?

Four small whispers can now leave rehearsal, the last cigarette has been ground to ashes. It was once important for us to kill some Negroes, no matter how many times they claimed to fear God― no matter how pretty their dime store dresses were― no matter how late they were for choir practice.

"kutipan yang terlahir dari raga serta perasaan"

These are the warning signs of a visceral God at work: The repressed hands become tender and forgiving once again, The calloused eyes begin to see the wonder of a thousand newborn suns, The chained heart learns to leap at the thought of angels and popsicles.

Now it is a vineyard, like so many others;/But when you taste its wine, you drink the blood of your brothers.' From Red Hill, a French folk song. I let someone else do the driving for a little while- I watched the lines blur behind us, each racing after the next, towards some vanishing point just beyond the Stuckey's sign; I am abandoning Red Hill again.

'Defining Moments’ is the story of Ellie Ward, a professor with a knack for making bad decisions at life’s crossroads, often with tragic consequences. At the age of nine, Ellie accidentally discovers a time portal near her childhood home, one that opens to her in situations of extreme trauma and emotion. Passing through the portal takes Ellie back in time to the key decision points that lead to her life’s tragedies, enabling her to change those decisions and avert the crises. The downside is that she never has any idea what the specific ‘defining moments’ were, and so she never knows how much of her life she is going to have to repeat to undo a bad situation. River ice studies take Ellie to a remote town in Canada’s Northwest Territories, where she agrees to go along with three other people in a tiny, single engine plane to scout for ice jams. Ellie’s decision not to insist that they turn back before venturing too far from town becomes another defining moment in her life when their engine fails and they crash land in the bush. As the only able-bodied survivor Ellie’s graduate student, Brenda, must take on the burden of keeping the others safe as they wait for help to arrive. Fearing that Brenda will crumble under the emotional strain, Ellie shares her personal journal as a diversion. As the hours of waiting turn into days, Brenda immerses herself in Ellie’s autobiography, and we join with her in reading of Ellie’s multiple lives, loves, careers, passions and losses. Brenda is astonished to read that her professor has managed to go back and reverse those bad decisions that resulted in tragic outcomes. Is this actually possible, or is Ellie’s journal just a work of fiction? And if it is possible, and Ellie has found a way to rewind the clock to each defining moment in her life, will she live to get the chance to do it this time?
