Time earned back



i had a good weekend, it was the best I've had since the cricket finals when i was with another friend of mine.This weekend was both retrospection, introspection and extrospection...a lot of inspection. i am here sitting at my computer again after vowing not to use my cell phone to go online again, yet online from a cell phone, thinking about the week. it was not as profitable as i wanted it to be. But in the end, i did learn a lot. it was good. You know like some times God can change an entire messy week holiday i spend goofing around, into a great one when he draws a line under the line like in a maths problem , you sum it up be zero and God adds another lets say "grace" marks and pushes you across the fence-- this is how i feel. i have passed a horrible test . I am now ready for more.

I had spend some time with a wonderful family today and some guys and girls at a club. i felt my week had the real twist that i looked for till then happened there . Shame, i had been invited earlier this week and i did not go. Any way i had a friend who told me to reconnect to God. This is the part i felt i lost over the holidays, even though if you read some posts ago you would find me saying i wanted god to reorient my compass, well i messed up. but he did preserve me. how nice of him. Thank you lord.

At the cafe, I did learn a lot especially the fact that i had forgotten all the history i gathered up so far; man, it was embarrassing to forget. Anyway at the spoken English cafe we had some fun today. There were new words / definition added to my lexical knowledge and gave me the peace of mind and direction I've been looking for. So, it was cool.

Finally!, the compass is reorienting. It funny that it took so long. i had to go bad and worse to turn to the right direction.  well, it happened and now i am moving forward. i expect clear waters and bright sun shine. the voyage is hopeful.

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 manner . For m

Testimonies

This is an extract from a mail I had written to my friends and I wish that most of you my readers would get this message too. I want to tell you about a few testimonies that changed my perception of testimonies. Most of you may have heard me say this many times, but then since its that good, I wish your Christmas memories could include this one too.  The first story occurs in a little village of pullad. Now that is in Kerala, and for those who do not know where it is, the place is near kumbanad, and around 15 Kms from Chengannur/ Thiruvalla and some where in the mid point between ernakulam and trivandrum .  SEE IT ON MAP I HAD WRITTEN THE STORY IN A BETTER FORMAT OVER AN YEAR AGO. SEE TOTALLY SIMPLE FAITH.  It is a village more than a town , with rubber trees, bugs and the sweet sound of rain in the woody and leafy region, so it cooler and humid than most other parts of kerala. So, i was here, in a prayer meeting run by a pentecostal group called the hallelujah prayer fellowship

Spirit of the Lord and his Standards

The chapter Isaiah 59 is a very meaningful chapter. The chapter begins with the prophet telling us that God has not run away from us or nor is he hiding that our tears cannot be seen or our cries cannot be heard. But when we went away from God, we were also neglected justice by others and God saw that his children were oppressed and were denied justice and as it is said in in Isaiah 59:15(b) . This is our God. Although we are sinners he says and that there were no one who could stand for you as mediators , God would bring you the salvation. The Lord is at my right hand, he is there to protect me, but let me tell you that God is also there to guard you from sinning. The verse Isaiah 59:19 , is the most important verse that we should remember when we are tempted. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him and put him to flight*. Isaiah 59:19 What does this verse mean to you? This is what I have understood and I follow. You
