My trip to the "Sin City"

What a title? As everybody knew, I had a one day and two nights trip to "sin city" - Las Vegas on Memorial Holiday. I would like to share some of my trip experiences with you.

First of all, I will never try to drive that long again. It was 8 hours to go there and 12 hours to come back (we went the wrong direction for 3 hours). Although we drove in turn, I was still very tired. This was totally insane.

Secondly, I saw a guy pass out on the poker table. (Sorry, I did go to the casino.) Casino Staff had to use the wheelchair to take him out. It was said that every casino had lots of wheelchair prepared.

Thirdly, my friend asked me "can Almighty God create a rock He can't move" on our way to vegas. I answered "don't use human mind to test and understand God. It will not work. The question you asked might be a question for human, but not God. Human mind can understand God."

Fourthly, there is no way you can win the money from gambling. God won't bless you on this. (yes, I did lose some of my hard working money :( )

After I came back, I started thinking why I wanted to go to Las Vegas. I really didn't have fun over there. It didn't seem to be a city I like. I willd never go back! Vegas is a city full of temptations. People go there for the temptation. We know what we shouldn't do. But we don't want to "Flee away". This is our (my) rebellious sin nature. I totally forgot that my body is God's temple. So I drove almost the whole night without sleeping. The result was that I was so sleepy on Tuesday. Did I know that it would be the case? Yes, I did. But I chose to do so because I had never done that before. I wanted to experience ... But there are some things that God said you shouldn't do. It is clear as black and white. There is no experience in between. I told myself that as long as I was not addicted to that, a little fun gambling game is OK. I was wrong because I did something God clearly said NO. Hey, if I won the money, will I still feel the same way. Absolutely! it is not about money. It is about whether I was doing something God allows and wants me to do! It is not about whether I had fun or not. It is about whether I follow God's word.

The good thing is that God won't "erase me" because of this sinful trip. So I repent ...
