Blogging

I saw a short film earlier this morning and it really made me think about this whole blogging thing. Anyway, it was about a couple who was torn apart by war. But before the guy had to leave, he made a pact with his wife to be that he would return no matter what, and he'll be faithful and all that crap... Anyway, while the dude was gone, the girl kept writing letters for him, telling him to forget the war and to come home to her. What really struck me most wasn't how romantic those letters were or what they said, but it was because after the girl wrote them, she would tear it up into pieces and throw them into the wind.

I was like, what the hell?

For one, i love the fact that winds are so easy to come by especially when your a melodramatic damsel awaiting he return of your prince.... But anyway, I'm not really here to make fun. I just couldn't understand why she had to go through the motions of writing all that only to destroy the letter. I mean, really? Why write when nobody will be able to read them?

I realized thereafter, like a brick dropping on my head, that that's exactly how I write. Not that I await the arrival of a melodramatic friendly wind to carry off my words into that corny horizon, but I write not knowing who I'm writing to. Only to realize at the end of each letter, that the words that I wrote down wasn't for my muse, but for myself.

It's silly when you think about it though. I mean, really. But I really enjoy not knowing who reads my words; I guess you can say I'd like to keep it that way.

So here's to you, stranger.

The Dove That Was Slain

Recently, an image has been circulating online of a dove tied and used as a prop during an Easter service. The public reaction has been swift, with many expressing deep outrage over the distress and injustice inflicted on a helpless, innocent creature. If you felt a pang of anger or sorrow seeing that image, your reaction is deeply human—and biblically grounded. Proverbs 12:10 tells us,  "The righteous care for the needs of their animals." We are hardwired to recoil when innocence is subjected to suffering. But as we process this outrage, especially in the wake of Easter, there is a profound biblical parallel we must not miss. For centuries under the Old Covenant, the sacrifice of innocent animals—including doves—was not an accident; it was a requirement. Leviticus 5 outlines how those who could not afford a lamb were to bring two doves to the altar to make atonement for their sins.  The unblemished animal bore the cost of human rebellion. The sight of an innocent creature l...

Psalms: The Glorious Worthiness of Our God

In a world constantly clamoring for our attention, where our focus can so easily drift to ourselves and our immediate circumstances, the Scriptures call us to a higher and more satisfying pursuit: reflecting on the absolute worthiness of God. True worship, both private and corporate, begins not with what we feel or what we need, but with who God is. Today, we turn our hearts and minds to two powerful psalms that illuminate God's character and His inherent right to all praise. Scriptural Illumination: Our passages for today are Psalm 100:4 and Psalm 96:4-9 (ESV) . Psalm 100:4 (ESV): "Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!" This verse, set within a psalm that is a joyful call to worship, speaks to the very posture we are to adopt when approaching God. The imagery of "gates" and "courts" evokes the temple, the place of God's manifest presence. To enter with "thanksgiving" and ...
