Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.
~ Psalm 36:5

Christ died for men precisely because Men are not worth dying for; to make them worth it.
~ CS Lewis

Why?

We rode into town the other day, just me and my
Daddy. He said I’d finally reached that age, and I
could ride next to him on a horse that of course
was not quite as wide We heard a crowd of people
shouting and so we stopped to find out why There
was that man that my dad said he loved, but today
there was fear in his eyes

So I said Daddy why are they screaming? Why are
the faces of some of them beaming? Why is he
dressed in that bright purple robe? I bet that
crown hurts him more than he shows Daddy please
can’t you do something? He looks as though he’s
gonna cry You said he is stronger than all of
those guys-Daddy please tell me why, why does
everyone want him to die?

Later that day the sky grew cloudy and daddy said
I should go inside Some how he knew things would
get stormy, boy was he right But I could not keep
from wondering if there was something he had
to hide So after he left I had to find out, I was
not afraid of getting lost So I followed the
crowds to a hill where I knew men had been killed
And I heard a voice come from a cross:

And it said : Father why are they screaming. Why
are the faces of some of them beaming? Why are
they casting their lots for my robes?? This crown
of thorns hurts me more than it shows. Father
please can’t you do something? I know that you
must hear my cry. I thought I could handle a cross
of this size, Father remind me why, why does
everyone want me to die. When will I understand
why?

My precious Son, I hear them screaming. I’m
watching the face of the enemy beaming but soon I
will clothe you in robes of my own. Jesus this
hurts me much more than you know, but this dark
hour I must do nothing. Though I’ve heard your unbearable
cry — the power in your blood destroys all the
lies, soon you’ll see past their unmerciful eyes.
Look there below see the child trembling by her
father’s side. Now I can tell you why, she is why
you must die.

Not that there's nothing happening but more like there's not much time. I have a Photo Book to complete and OA Medical record photos to process. That's in addition to planning the medical trip on March 20th plus a bunch of new things at work and home to look after. Hang in there!

Will be blogging less the next couple of days as I'll be away from the office for a few days of training.

A strong opposition is NECESSARY to provide check and balance. This is essential in any government.

As Election draws near, the posters go up, only to get beaten and ravaged by the forces of nature and the unstoppable might of capitalistic expansion and the almighty dollar. How relevant are today's governments handling the crisis of nature or the economy is reflected like the posters. They are simply impotent.

The wedding of Jell & Martini in Damansara Perdana was quite an experience. I mean throw in Christian wedding traditions, gospel music, a sekolah menengah kind of dewan, bahasa malaysia sermon and exchange of vows and a whole lot of orang asli. That was the adventure we had this evening and it was quite unforgettable! It was simple, tastefully decorated and the atmosphere was just pure carnival. These people came all the way from their interior villages and it was simply evidence of the rapport and close support these Pastors working among the OA have.
