I sort of got very tempted to go and see a doctor, or 'report sick' in army lingo. Yet, I guess it was not necessary after all.
Anyway, this week was indeed eventful. One thing that really got stucked in my head was the fragility of life. The images that are gathered from some videos our instructor show on traffic accidents involving deaths had me really gross out and in shock.
James 4:14 writes:
whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away
Human beings on the road have become like pins that are just easily knocked down and killed in the most gory of ways, just because of non-compliance to traffic rules and regulations.
I am beginning to appreciate the Driver's Creed we all pledge each day before going for our drive.
Driver's Creed:
I, as a Driver of the Singapore Armed Force,
Pledge to comply with all traffic rules and regulations,
To be courteous and considerate to all road users,
To drive safely and defensively,
To maintain my vehicle.
There's no need to end this off with the 'with my life' (as seen in the soldier's pledge), which is quite logical and make sense.
Looking forward to the end of this driving course and the activities as the year draws to an end. Learning to ask God for journey mercies and grace each day I am on the road.
His Grace is sufficient. (2 Cor 12:9)
