I was reminded by how gracious our Lord is. Today's sermon touched on the issue of forgiveness. Pastor quoted an example of seeking forgiveness when one did something wrong to another. It is not the case that since God has forgiven that person so we 'must grudgingly' follow suit and forgive the party that did injustice to you. The cruz of the matter is that God forgave us first so we should forgive others as well. So is there someone who stepped on your toes and you are still bearing that grudge or unhappiness?

The next thing is that I am in a dilemma. There are two courses which I would like to enrol. One is the Advanced Safety Driving Course conducted by Performance Mtrs, distributor for BMW. They teach the finer points of driving & what to do in an emergency plus other things. There is also a segment where participants will negotiate a slalom, execute a handbrake turn, do a quick sprint and stop before the end point. And the best part of it is that the vehicle is provided. A brand new BMW 325i is all yours to trash (not to wreck it but drive it hard) and drive it to the limits. The theory sessions are indoors and a full-day practical at the Pasir Gudang racetrack in JB.

The other course is the class 4 & 5 license. This is where you are trained to drive a vehicle such as a lorry and a crane. Once you pass, you are eligible to drive a bus, lorry and crane. For those who wish to pilot a prime mover pulling a container trailer, there is a one day course conducted at PSA. I thought of this course is just to have the skill and partly to 'get the license'. Whether I will have the chance to drive such huge vehicles is another question.

Both these courses cost about $850 each!! That's a huge sum. However the benefits of enrolling for each courses are tremendous. But in life, choices as well as sacrifices have to be made.

So the questions is:- Which one should I choose? Or shld I just save the $$ and forgo both of them?
