Titanic
My company release us at 4pm so that we could go attend the Titanic Exhibition at MBS. It was a company-paid expense.
I had a great time in the Museum! I am always confounded though how much irony in Titanic there was. It is a real life drama. 705 lives saved and more than half of the passengers lost. It was believed to be unsinkable yet it sank to the deep depths of the ocean and till this day, it is too heavy to be lifted out of the ocean. Many people carried with them hopes as they board the Titanic and dreams sank as deep as into the sea...am i being too melocholic? Perhaps it is not as hopeless as it sounds. Who knows that in the dense titanic despair, there are something glorifying to God? Of those that are lost, how many are saved? If they are saved, then death has no power over them. I remembered there is a Father who stayed behind to comfort panic stricken passengers and who help passengers board the life boats and who also lead people of different faiths in prayer. A lady of Macy Department Store who choose not to enter the life boat but to stay together with her husband! But to say that the ship is unsinkable is now considered too assuming and lofty. I am sure that there are many lessons to draw from the Titanic tragedy. I found something interesting and God-glorifying about the Titanic.

It's a reflection of to live is Christ and to die is gain.
May we have a titanic heart for God and people. May we not love our lives so much but rest our hope in Christ.
