We were in Singapore during the last few days of the Chinese New Year celebration. During this time there are numerous parades for all different sorts of activities and religions. We were headed out from the YMCA where we were staying, and saw this Hindu parade going by. All the men were carrying these enormously heavy contraptions that were attached to their bodies with needles and bolts. There wasn't just one or two in this parade, but tons and the parade was still going on when we got home in the early evening.
Again, another man in the Hindu parade. It is amazing that they believe that they need to go through so much pain to worship their gods. Isn't it nice to know that we don't have to go through this physical pain to be close to our God? The only pain we need to go through is the death of our selves daily as we pick up our Saviour's cross!

Looking at all these pictures its a wonderful reminder of how free we are in Christ. Thank you for showing us Rachel thru your experience there in Asia how we are so lucky in our walks with Christ while at the same time reminded that not all in the world believe how we do... There are so many who deserve to believe & have that eternal freedom!
