Heaven is for real

Today most Christians celebrate Easter Sunday. This is the day where Jesus is risen. One of the local churches chose heaven as the theme of this year Easter Sunday. Well, in John 14:1-7,
1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”
 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”  6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” John 14:1-7.
So Jesus was comforting the people. He comforted us by telling us that there's a home for us instead of giving earthly materials to meet our needs. Five points He made. He said we should not be worried as there are many rooms in his home. 

He comforted us that He himself is going to check through the preparation of the place for us. But why He needs to do that? Isn't the rooms are ever ready? Well, the preparation was Jesus himself, the truth and the life. He assured us He will get us there though.

Oh, those assurances seem very future. And He said now the Father is with us. So trouble no more.

There are some accounts of Christians being taken to heaven and back. It's good to read some of the accounts. A recommendation from the pastor:  Heaven is for Real: A little Boy's Astounding Story on His Trip to Heaven and Back. I have not read this book yet, hopefully will. Again, we don't have sufficient information about heaven. So it's up to you how much to agree or believe. But the important thing is, we know heaven exists.

Happy Easter Sunday.

Day 2: A visit to some of The Tokyo Toilet project

On the second day of my trip, I decided to visit some of the public toilets under The Tokyo Toilet project. The idea was inspired by the film  Perfect Days . Since the public toilets under this project are scattered around western side of Tokyo, I visited a few in Shibuya area, which are quite close to each other. One notable location is Yoyogi Park.  One of the highlights of these designer toilets is the transparent toilet. Its transparent glass walls will turn opaque when the door is locked. This feature is based on the electrochromic effect. However, this feature is unavailable during late autumn and winter, which coincided my visit. The key takeaway from this visit: an eye opening experience about toilet culture and social inclusivity.

Trip 01-06: Day 8-9 (The end)

Day 8-9 (13-14 May) We proceed to Thailand in the morning. The immigration process was the easiest. We crossed the river by boat and reached Chiang Khong (the border town of Thailand). Then a mini van to Chiang Mai. Arrived in Chiang Mai about 4pm. Looked for a cheap room and then had an excursion around the town. The next day we will depart and back to M'sia. It has been a pleasant trip for the whole week. Laos is a beautiful and peaceful country with abundant of unspoiled forest and mountains. Now we have to get back to our real life. End of the trip.
