The Sweetest Thing

I always wanted to do reviews. It's always a great thing to have watched something really awesome and have to write about it. I mean it's probably the best job in the world, you know, to be a respected and well-liked critique. Now that I think about my life before as a student, I always loved to do reflection papers about movies or books that I happen to like. I don't really understand why some people find it such a hassle to go and share their thoughts and feelings about something beautiful; I always found that as something relaxing. How many times, in our sometimes stale life, do we get to be sanctioned to write about something that we like? I mean, really think about it?

Maybe it's because they don't like to set aside time to do this, or if Microsoft Word gives them headaches. I don't really know. Well, I don't really care.

The only thing that bothers me about reflection papers is that teachers always find a way to grade them. Isn't it funny though; to grade a reflection paper? It's like saying to a person: tell me what you think, and I'll tell you exactly, numbers and all, where you are. I think reflection papers are only useful when it comes to English subjects. At least there, you can grade them based on their grammar, but never about what they think.

But if you happen to be a teacher who does this, and you are reading this entry right now, I don't want you to feel like I was attacking you though. I am, with all respect, attacking you, but don't feel like I am. I mean, since you can grade people based on what they think, I'm just assuming you have the capability to not feel anything, you douche.

See? You just proved my point.

Anyway, I leave you now with my POWER SONG for the day. I intend to leave a power song every time I write something that isn't important to either you or me. I just feel like writing. Idle hands and all that.




The Sweetest Thing by U2 is one of my favorite songs for the day. It's just pleasing to listen to and the video is just an exercise of pure freedom. I mean, look at Bono. Now look at your wallet. Now think if you can pull this off with that much in your wallet.

Hope that made you feel better, somehow.

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 ...
