Holy Roar - Watermark

Holy Roar - Watermark

Trees of life are blooming
Your word plants the seed
And we see it growing
Your kindness leading to repentance
We see traces of deliverance
Lord, thank You for mercy

chorus:
Oh, can you hear it?
It’s the song of the redeemed
The pursuit of passion for the One who set us free
Oh can you hear it?
We’re crying out for more
So listen to our song
It’s turning into a holy roar
A holy roar

Rivers of renewal
Spirit whisper a revival
And send us rushing
Lord send us rushing..
Open hearts with hopes of unity
We’re servants to love in lost humanity
Lord send us reaching

chorus

And we come rejoicing and singing and crying out to You Lord
Can You hear the holy roar
As we respond to Who You are and all that You have done
Lord with our lives, with all that we are
We return to You, Oh God
You are holy God
We lay down our lives, our songs, these tears, Lord
Can You hear the holy roar? These cries, these prayers…
can You hear the holy roar? Still hear the holy roar

How to have a good day..

My mom forwarded me this email today... I think it is pretty cute.

How to have a good day….

Get enough sleep

Don’t forget those morning exercises

Wash properly and clean everywhere

Have a good stretch

Don’t get out on the wrong side of the bed

And if you are still tired …


...

Then best to go back to sleep!

Hello.. I want one

Who else wants one of these...?

To all of my readers out there, have a good weekend!

Friday Funnies

It was about a month ago when a man in Amsterdam felt that he needed to confess, so went to his priest:
"Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. During WWII I hid a refugee in my attic."
"Well," answered the priest, "that's not a sin."
"But I made him agree to pay me 20 Gulden for every week he stayed."
"I admit that wasn't good, but you did it for a good cause."
"Oh, thank you, Father; that eases my mind. I have one more question..."
"What is that, my son?"

...

"Do I have to tell him the war is over?"

The Chinese zodiac

The Twelve animals (十二生肖 shí'èr shēngxiào, or colloquially 十二屬相 shí'èr shǔxiàng) representing the twelve Earthly Branches are, in order, the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep (or goat), monkey, rooster, dog, and pig (or boar).

A legend explains the sequence in which the animals were assigned. Supposedly, the twelve animals fought over the precedence of the animals in the cycle of years in the calendar, so the Chinese gods held a contest to determine the order. All the animals lined up on the bank of a river and were given the task of getting to the opposite shore. Their order in the calendar would be set by the order in which the animals managed to reach the other side. The cat wondered how he would get across if he was afraid of water. At the same time, the ox wondered how he would cross with his poor eyesight. The calculating rat suggested that he and the cat jump onto the ox's back and guide him across. The ox was steady and hard-working so that he did not notice a commotion on his back. In the meanwhile, the rat snuck up behind the unsuspecting cat and shoved him into the water. Just as the ox came ashore, the rat jumped off and finished the race first. The lazy pig came to the far shore in twelfth place. And so the rat got the first year named after him, the ox got the second year, and the pig ended up as the last year in the cycle. The cat finished too late to win any place in the calendar, and vowed to be the enemy of the rat forevermore.

Chuck Norris Facts

Check this out...


Here're some excerpts:

• When Chuck Norris does a pushup, he isn’t lifting himself up, he’s pushing the Earth down.
• Chuck Norris can lead a horse to water AND make it drink.
• When Chuck Norris was denied an Egg McMuffin at McDonald's because it was 10:35, he roundhouse kicked the store so hard it became a Wendy's
• When Chuck Norris talks, everybody listens. And dies.
• If at first you don't succeed, you're not Chuck Norris.
• According to Einstein's theory of relativity, Chuck Norris can actually roundhouse kick you yesterday.

Surprisingly, the man himself, Chuck Norris, does not find all these offensive. I guess if he did, we'd all get roundhouse kicks on our faces... hehehe..

I miss Angeline

I'm currently in Penang for business. I've been here for 2 days and will only return home in a couple of days time. I'm missing Angeline. I miss her so much. The verse that says "two become one" has never been more real for me. Sigh...

My England no good...

English is really crazy

There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins were not invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies, while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write, but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce, and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So, one moose, 2 meese? One index, two indices? Is cheese the plural of choose?

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

In what language do people recite at a play, and play at a recital?

Ship by truck, and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? Park on driveways and drive on parkways? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell another?

When a house burns up, it burns down. You fill in a form by filling it out, and an alarm clock goes off by going on.

When the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it.

Tayo and Kemi

Akintayo Akinyemi has been my spiritual comrade during my uni days at UNL. We've been thru so much together and I've been so blessed by not just his friendship, but by the life of God in him. I always remember the time we shared during prayer meetings, bible studies, softball matches, movies and Taboo games.


Kemi Olubudun was the first Nigerian girl I met at UNL. I recall very well that she didn't like cats, and remembered telling her that she shared the same name with Pastor Tom Barber's cat. I didn't really get a chance to know Kemi too well, at least as I much as I wanted to, but I will always remember her infectious smile, somewhat like what Tayo has, and her desire to sing. And boy, could she sing.


Tayo will marry Kemi on the 10th of March, 2007. I always dreamed to see the day when Tayo will get married, but just that I never knew when it would happen (sorry tayo). But it's finally happening, and my heart rejoice with him. I'm so glad that he's marrying Kemi too.
So to Tayo and Kemi, my heartiest congratulations. May God bring much blessings to your lives, and I can't wait to see the little Tayos and Kemis...

Infrared Photography

I think the pictures produced are kinda cool. In case you didn't know, this is not BW photography. They use special IR filters and films, and for digital cameras, they actually have to modify their equipment to attain these results. Click on here to see more.

Free e-books

Free e-books here: http://etext.library.adelaide.edu.au/meta/authors.html . Here's the catch: Most of the books available for viewing are of either historical or philosophical genre. They are classical works of dead authors. In other words, for you who have no interest in these - boring.

Time for me to catch up on some Immanuel Kant's The Critique of Pure Reason & Dante's Inferno.

p/s: 4 days left of 2006. Need to put resolutions together...

Memoriam

Today marks the 2nd anniversary of the tsunami that wiped out over 200,000 people in Asia. I pray we will be reminded of how fragile life is on this planet, and may we never take it for granted.
