stress relief for those who need it =)

After a month-long holiday in the US , my wife and I finally boarded
the plane in San Francisco last Sunday heading home to UK.

As the plane reached cruising altitude & speed with the seat belt sign
switched off, a 6-footer black man with the build of Mike Tyson in the front row got up from his seat, turned to face the back, raised his arm and
yelled, 'HIJACK!'

Everyone was frozen to the seat, expecting the worst to happen. Two
stewards were about to jump onto this guy to overpower him when
another voice answered from the back of the plane: 'HI JOHN!'

The moral of the story is:
If you have a friend named Jack, for heaven's sake don't ever "HI" him
in the plane.

Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat. —Genesis 2:16-17


I watched as a young mother tried to get her 2-year-old child to make a choice. “You can have fish or chicken,” she told him. She limited his choice to just two because he was too young to understand beyond that. Choice often allows a wider variety of options, and it also must allow the person to reject the choices.

Adam and Eve were in the best possible environment. God had given them freedom to eat of all the trees in Eden. He drew the boundary lines around only one tree! They had a choice, and it should have been a no-brainer to choose wisely. But their choice was tragic.

Some blame God for what they see as His restrictions. They may even accuse Him of trying to control their lives. But God gives us a choice, just as He did Adam and Eve.

Yes, God draws boundary lines, but they are for our protection. David understood this. He wrote, “You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies . . . . I understand more than the ancients, because I keep Your precepts. I have restrained my feet from every evil way, that I may keep Your Word” (Ps. 119:98-101).

God cares so much about us that He gives us boundary lines so that we will choose what is right.  — C. P. Hia

Lord, help us to obey Your Word,
To heed Your still, small voice;
And may we not be swayed by men,
But make Your will our choice. —D. De Haan

God’s commandments were given to fulfill us, not to frustrate us.

this blog has been collecting dust. a lot has been happening, but i can't really seem to pen it down right. or type it down, if you will. but i'm glad that you're so understanding, so encouraging throughout this whole period. i know it's been hard. but i'm glad you're praying about it. i'm glad that you're not just complaining why things are like that.

have faith. take heart, be strong.

The broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow from stealing all my time
I am here still waiting though i still have my doubts
I am damaged at best, like you've already figured out

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain, there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on
I'm barely holdin' on to you

The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded, I'm an open book instead
I still see your reflection inside of my eyes
That are looking for a purpose, they're still looking for life

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
with a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain (in the pain), is there healing
In your name (in your name) I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin')
I'm barely holdin' on to you

I'm hangin' on another day
Just to see what you throw my way
And I'm hanging on to the words you say
You said that I will be OK

The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone
I may have lost my way now, haven't forgotten my way home

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
with a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain(In the pain) there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'),
I'm barely holdin' on to you

I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'),
I'm barely holdin' on to you

this funny game

reading danny's and elyssa's blogs really brought  back memories of my own,

reading encouragement from others. how people rally together to support those who are down, it's just amazing. the before, during and after effects of a game, none can compare.











to those nursing wounds, chin up. losing is part and parcel of the game we love, it's how we recover that matters. be thankful that you are surrounded by friends who love you, and that we have a God who sees us through everything.

how i wish, time after time, that i could turn back the clock.

i'm tired. but i can't sleep. so here i am, lying on my bed, typing out nonsense on my blog.
