Blog Announcement #4

What this blog does not come close to doing justice to, is reflecting how evil I am and have been. While only a subset of my thoughts are documented here... many others I do not dare document or try to capture in words.

They are known and felt by God and me only. May be one day He will show it to all of you... so that there are no secrets any more, and you will know that when I say I am evil I mean the word and probably much worse than what the word tends to mean in its mild form in the christian religion or your imagination.

Slow Dance

I am probably for the slow movement




Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly’s erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down.
Don’t dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won’t last.

Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done!
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?

You’d better slow down
Don’t dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won’t last.

Ever told your child,
We’ll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,’Hi’
You’d better slow down.
Don’t dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won’t last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift..
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

Nobody messes up as bad as calivn... but this is for all the times I have... (and that's a lot of times). 

I love this game

Random Thought

God was more kind to man in His Curse than man is kind to himself in Sin

One Way Relationship

The fall has marred us so that we believe in a give and take relationshp so bad, that we, without help cannot accept a one way, get get relationship. We, by ourselves, are both unable and unwilling to let truth and perpetual gain coincide in one relationship

When you meet God you will enter a relationship in with you get, and you get - it is one way. I do not have such a relationship with any other being. 

"The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything. And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, for

   "'In him we live and move and have our being';

as even some of your own poets have said,

   "'For we are indeed his offspring.'

- Acts 17: 24 - 28

Can't wait to watch it. 

Bible - Hard to understand ?

If anyone says that the bible is hard to understand, I will give it to them.  But I know of nothing in this world so tangible and so committed to giving you the Truth, and the simplest understand it. 

Random Thought : Vessels of grace

We aren't sources of grace. We are vessels of grace. If we don't get it, we cant give it. So lets make sure we take a lot of it. 

Teachers' Day

I got this recently - it is one of the first letters from one of my first students. It reminds me of teacher's day celebrations in India. 

"Dear Mike, Daniel, Gagan and Media guys, 

Thank you for letting me come and learn about what you guys do. It was a great experience. I had a lot of fun learning about what goes up to create a webpage. Thank you for patient" (yep that's what she wrote) "when I didnt understand. You have a very friendly work environment which I was glad to get to see. Work hard and I hope to see your work on the Desiring God website. 

From, 

Ashley K"

If it helps... I feel a little sorry. 

Corollary to Pascal's quote on Happiness

Human Beings seek happiness above survival. If they get too convinced that their Happiness is not in survival, they kill themselves.
