Holy Week

Its that time of the year again where Catholic faithful all over the world begin the Holy Week observance after some 40 days of 'fasting and sacrifices'...well...most Catholics....except me. I guess I am a sinner and just hope that Christ will have mercy on when He comes. Never claimed to be an angel nor the devil in disguise...just a regular trying to get by short wonderful yet chaotic life.

Ah..'faith'...now that's something. It can never be fixed, measured, counted or quantified...but only felt...akin to the emotions evoked by our senses. That is what faith means to me. To know that everything that happens in my life...happens for a reason...good or bad in my human perspective...knowing that God, in His divine love and knowing...is merely exacting His Will.

I thank God for life and for my family and the love that God sown in my life. I pray that He will continue to keep me and my family save in His loving arms. I make this pray through His Son Christ Jesus my Lord in union with the giver of Life...the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Sharing Some Thoughts And Love Of Music

Its been quite a long week of work despite being on 'official' leave. (trying to clear off back log of leave as requested by HQ but...alas...news doesn't stop ya). Some poor 18-year-old bloke got bumped off by his 'friends' over a girl. Now that is sad and tragic. Poor chap came from a broken home, raised by his grandparents, dropped out of school and eventually got mixed up with the wrong crowd. God have mercy on his soul.

The weather has cool a bit following several days of intermittent rain following almost a month of hot dry spell. (That has put a damper on my plans t take Kyra for a swim). Promise to take her out on Monday as I am off till Tuesday.

So its Sunday night and I am going to take a break to listen to some music and pick up a few guitar tips on the Tube. God Bless.

To None I Wish Ill But To All I Wish Peace And Love.

Keep It Simple

Yup...like the title says...I would love to just keep it simple. Life...as it is...is full up and downs, rights and wrongs and do's and don't's.....and never simple to most. Really...if you think about it...life is simple if we allow it to be so.

Pray that my faith in God, in life and love....remains uncluttered, clear, true and simple. That is all I ask.

To None I Wish Ill But To All I Wish Peace and Love.

Here Comes The Sun

How amusing is the folly of men. In these days of confusion, climate change and natural disasters...there are still lots out there who bicker and fight over the most trivial of things. Life is already short...and I sense that it will get even shorter soon than most think.

There are signs that we, as a race, are headed towards the abyss of our own doing. Greed of a few had caused the collapse of economies on a global scale last year. Peace have eluded wars that trace their roots to the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s. Then, there is the rising tension among several nations over unresolved issues.

The weather has also been freaky both on Earth and the Sun. In late December and early January, temperatures drop by almost three-degrees to a cool 26 Celsius before the blazing heat caused the mercury to hit record highs of almost 38 Celsius in February. There were also extreme blizzards and storms over most parts of Europe and China including recent flooding in France during this period. As for earthquakes...there were three big ones. Haiti was struck by a 7.0 earthquake on Jan 12 followed by a 7.0 near Ryukyu Island off Japan on Feb 26 with Chile hit by an 8.8 the following day.

Well, the same goes for the Sun which is is in its 24 Solar Cycle. The 24 cycle was initially predicted to put on a show of record sunspots and solar flares. However, the Sun remained blank and quiet for an extend period...a record not seen since 1935. Only in February did the Sun wake up and gradually showing signs that Cycle 24 is going to be a blast. (Cycle 24 and its sunspots and solar flares incidentally peaks on 2012).

So...there you go. As for me and my family....we got the air-condition serviced to make it a little more cooler at night. And I got my 'flint' for my 'end of days' rucksack...lol. Just pray that God will keep me and my family safe when the shit hits the ceiling fan.
