No chains

  ACTS 12 : 7 - 10 :Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. "Quick, get up!" he said, and the chains fell off Peter's wrists.
8Then the angel said to him, "Put on your clothes and sandals." And Peter did so. "Wrap your cloak around you and follow me," the angel told him. 9Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision. 10They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went through it. When they had walked the length of one street, suddenly the angel left him.
So this blog is not about all broken chains... its about how God was too good to me and helped me through various situations.. one being Green Card or Entry...
as for many of you you know what a green card is... an entry / resident permit into USA.. my green card is a bit different... the place is where the difference comes in..
so well at parithipara marthoma church, we went recently for carols, at nite 6pm to 11 pm though various houses in the city, town, village ...

yesterday as usual( not for me... but for the youth guys) it ended late around 12 am... so my hostel gate is usually closed around 10 pm... i had to get in... the gate keeper must be told in advance about this late coming, which i didn't... so the story is this.. i was late and had to get in...
Melvin one of my friends asked me... and i said God will provide the way... and he did...
so i reached the gate and saw it closed, so i got of my bike and went to the gate to call the gate keeper from outside the gate and saw it was not locked..i pushed the gate and it opened... i rode into the hostel and closed the gate behind me and rode past few seminary students who were decorating the crib..
i entered through a back door and reached my room.. i remembered the story of Peter,.. and saw God is even capable of doing greater things EVEN today and our God is an awesome God...

by the way how many people have heard "rock me sexy Jesus".... i wont complain against this song... coz its kind of sweet to hear ...its from Hamlet 2 (an english movie 2008 release).... take care ..
love ..subZ

The Nativity - by Gari Melchers

This could be my first ever critique of art that I have ever written and that is because it is only recently art has captured my interest as much as this work. This write up is made both in English and German as I want to practice my German.  'The Nativity' by Gari Melchers.  I am not an art expert and my critique is from a layman's point of view, but bear with me. I have tried reading some information about the art and the culture behind it and I have my two favourite blog posts about the same work and yes,  I have shamelessly copied some of their thoughts. Woebegone but Hopeful and other is by Lisa VO . Julius Garibaldi Melchers (August 11, 1860 – November 30, 1932) was an American artist. He was one of the leading American proponents of naturalism. He won a 1932 Gold medal from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.[1] - Wikipedia The Nativity is painted during the peak of realism movement - in a gritty and less idealised ma...

The Ultimate Claim to Glory

During a recent worship service, a thought struck me while singing about giving glory to Jesus. I wondered if it would be appropriate to ask for glory or to claim it for oneself. This idea felt blasphemous, as it seemed to imply that one could steal or exceed God's glory. History is filled with examples of kings and rulers who sought such glory, only to end up as dust and bones. But then I realized that even Jesus, in his prayer to the Father, asked for glory: 'Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed' (John 17:5). How could Jesus, being fully God, ask for glory? The Chalcedonian and Nicene Creeds affirms the answer as said in the verse "He (Jesus), Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage, (Philippians 2:6)". They affirm that Jesus, though fully God, did not cling to his divine equality but humbled himself. He is the only one who truly des...
