strength

strength is better tested by what one doesn't do than by what one does... 

sometimes

sometimes i put a clothes peg on my ear just for the feeling of relief i get when i take it off. sometimes i make my screen black and white just for the smile and amazement i experience when i switch the screen back to colour mode again.

satisfaction is the absence of pain as much as it is the presence of joy. it’s the absence of need as much as it is the fulfillment of want.

just a thought

friction

it’s heat, only care rubs hot
from a distance we’re hugging
this fight is something
at least it’s contact

(inspired by Rich v. Lieshout’s sermon 21/03/2010)

attraction

the only part that counts
is the part that isn’t understood        

no logic
no reason

the fraction
the slave

i don’t mind

competition

love to win
you play with passion
meaning your victory
when in fact it’s loss

the bad christian

I find it astonishing that Christians have become people known as a grouping of society that needs to adhere to a behavioral code. Any failure of a Christian to meet social expectations is called hypocrisy. This would be an unfair accusation if it weren’t for the fact that Christians are part of this problem. We (Christians) are quick to bring to light a ‘higher path’. A different way of living. We make our goalpost behavior instead of faith, as though obedience was the way to please God. I am learning that FAITH impresses Him far far far more.

Why would someone apologise to me when swearing in front of me...? I don’t care for your swearing - I care that you don’t know my God like I do.

I’m certainly not good - I just trust in Someone who is.

software update

This morning i was forced to cancel a few work appointments, and seeing as my mom was with me and we had time on our side, we decided to hit the local mugg & bean with armed with our laptops and 5 hours unlimited wi-fi usage vouchers (compliments of MWEB).

Three hours later our machines were updated with the latest software, anti-virus software, and even a few free music albums that I am now listening to... (for a free download of Angels & Airwaves’ latest album go to http://modlife.com/angelsandairwaves/love)

And this process got me thinking that sometimes our lives need software updates. Our minds need access to the Wireless.
