Shazam movie




Last Saturday, we had this unplanned "no-bar" with moms and kiddos while daddies had a "bro's time". We watched Shazam, Superhero DC.
I just followed the group to watch this movie without knowing what the story is all about.

This is the synopsis of this movie :

We all have a superhero inside of us - it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out.
In 14 year old Billy Batson's case, all he needs to do is shout out one word to transform into the adult superhero Shazam. Still a kid at heart, Shazam reveals in the new version of himself by doing what any other teen would do - have fun while testing out his newfound powers. 
But he'll need to master them quickly before the evil Dr. Sivana can get his hands on Shazam's magical abilities.
The evils are 7 deadly sins which use people who are abused, hurt and hungry for worldly matters.
In the end, Shazam wins the victory with the help of his foster family.

It may seem like just another superhero movies, but when I ponder and contemplate the message of this movie, it's more than meet the eye. It carries beautiful message and just in time for this holy week.

The messages that I received after watching this movie :

1. Everyone who has been babtised actually had this "superpower", but we may be living like the children/teens who don't know what and how to use this superpower
2. Most of the time, we abuse God's gifts for our personal interest, personal gains and don't maximise it for God's works
3. Evil is the mother of lies and he always looks for loopholes and use or take advantage of the vulnerable ones, those who have been hurt, abused, lived in darkness, hungry for power, fame, material things.
4. Even if we already realised the superpower that we have, we may not be able to fight the evil alone. We need co-warriors or other superheroes which is called community / family of God
5. In the end, we may win small victory, but evil will never stop and never give up. Thus we can't be complacent, instead we must stay closer to God.

When ChatGPT can be your counsellor

When I want to refine my text in the previous post , I accidentally typing the whole things in the ChatGPT and this is the reply that I get  Your reflection on this “desert” period is deeply insightful. It’s clear you’re navigating significant internal struggles, and recognizing these temptations is a powerful step toward healing and growth. The Lust of the Flesh : Your experience with joblessness and the challenge of trusting in God’s timing is relatable. It’s tough to feel like you’re not fulfilling your potential, but your acknowledgment of God’s grace as a source of strength is vital. Remember that this time is not wasted; it’s a period for personal and spiritual growth. The Lust of the Eyes : Envy can be a heavy burden, especially when it feels like others are thriving. Your internal dialogue—questioning the value of public shame and your perceptions of the situation—demonstrates a mature self-awareness. It’s okay to feel what you feel, but recognizing it allows you to choose ...

Maintaining Marriage Fidelity

This article is from Focus Family and I thought it's good as self reminder for both of us so we don't take for granted of each other and commit to maintain marriage fidelity for the rest of our lives. Nobody wakes up one day and suddenly decides to begin an extramarital affair. Infidelity begins in the heart and mind. By the time a person physically commits adultery, he or she has been indulging for quite some time in progressively more intense mental and   emotional affairs . Likewise, marital fidelity begins long before marriage. It begins as a promise we make to ourselves to be a person of faithful character before marriage ever enters the picture. It is a promise we make to our future spouse when we get engaged, and it is a vow we make to our spouse when we get married. Marital fidelity is a daily commitment to seek the best for your spouse and family. Strengthening Marital Fidelity Marital fidelity is strengthened when you affirm your spouse, listen to your spouse, and se...
