Freddy Mercury

So I had some free time on my hands and I decided to look for some songs for me and Isabelle to enjoy. I ended up reading about Freddy Mercury. Dude is unbelievable as a musician. Check it out.

His Inheritence

A poem I wrote a few years ago

=====

Jehovah, He was
Jehovah, He is
Jehovah, He will be
He came from up on high
To dwell among His nation
He lived a holy life
No evil contemplation
When the time came
He made His Sacrifice
Hanging on the cross
Toward heaven He turned His eyes
Us forgiven, Him forsaken
He chose to die
He rose and conquered
All sin and death
Redeemed our souls, redeemed our lives
Restored our health
My soul waits in silence
For I am His inheritance

Mark Lowry Songs

I've been listening to Mark Lowry for a few weeks now and he is really good.

This is an amazing song. He has just put music to an amazing prayer that most of us utter.




Mark telling a wonderful story in his own special way.

Chirst(mas) is here

I am so in the mood of Christmas now. I am getting more and more excited by the day.

I was just browsing some of my friends' blogs and came about this link in Shayna's blog. You have to listen to the song. It moved me.

You May Now Kiss The Bride

I recently attended a colleagues wedding dinner and was reminded again of the wedding service. I realise that at every wedding (in one particular wedding, the minister ALMOST forgot!) that I have attended, the groom is asked to kiss his bride with words something like "You may now kiss your bride.""

What is the significance of kissing your bride at the end of the ceremony? I found this interesting article about the matter.

It is not JUST the kiss that matters, but the KISS while HOLDING HANDS and in the presence of WITNESSES that is important. It is to signify to the rest of the people present of the marriage and union of the two individuals.
It is also suggested that as the couple kisses, they exchange their breaths. This signifies the spiritual union of the two (the Greek word for spirit and breath are the exact same word).

So, this is significant and so I propose that kissing is sacred and should only be between a maried couple.

Kayaking

So this week, we headed out for the second part of our Kayaking Session. This time, the major portion of the trip was a 6km long expedition. The plan was for us to start at Pasir Ris Beach, head out to COney Island, beach up, have lunch then get back to Pasir Ris.

It was rather surprising for me that I struggled so badly to keep up with the group. This is especially so considering that last week I had no problems keeping myboat straight. I would love to claim that it was the boat that was the problem (cos I was using a different boat this time) but the truth is that it is the paddler that is to be responsible.

By the time we got to Coney Island, I was feeling really sick. In the words of one of the guys, "Merlion , liao!" I attribute this 'performance' to the 2x Fan Choy and 2 x Banana that I had for breakfast. I felt MUUUUUUCCCCHHHHH better after my performance. As soon as the stuff hit the water, it was obvious to me which direction the current was flowing at that time. I saw people get out of the water pronto!!!
The rest of the day was alright as far as the kayaing went. Like the instructor said, "Now you are lighter, easier to paddle right."

So there we were enjoying ourselves when we saw a bolt of lightning tear down from sky to earth way away at the refineries. That stabbed me with fear. We all turned around and rushed back to our landing point. Thankfully, we managed to beach up and get our boats back to the centre before the rain really hit us. Just as we started washing the boats, the rain fell. Hard.

Thank you captain for sending us all back home.

I was tired but not aching and really happy.
