Christmas Greeting!

I can say boo to a goose, and so I do not need to say more–a beatific Christmas to every friend around the globe!

Remembered So Well

Long absent, soon forgotten is not how God deals His business–for even a naïve wish or that seemingly unanswered prayer is remembered so well.

Fathering

Fathering a kid is always a wonderful privilege–one doesn’t have to possess a biological relation or constitutional rights to show or demonstrate such honor.

Couch Surfing

I’ve been couch surfing in weeks, but not as a gypsy. Just need some air in sporadic manner–when serenity has never been that substantial.  

   

Uncivilized

Nowadays one can still be labelled uncivilized in spite of the presence of advancement or modernity or sophistication–not in my time. Civilization involves character.  

Transmute

Indubitably I cannot redefine the meaning of Christmas, but I can only transmute my outlook about it–from a selfish receiver to a selfless giver.

Choice

No one is born less or highly educated. The same way with having a good or a bad behaviour–it always starts with a choice.

Learning Language

Neither geniuses nor linguists can persuade me that language learning is difficult. It's my call as a learner to define whether or not it's fun. 

The Sounds of His Heartbeat

Whether or not we delight in the hustle and bustle of holiday season, do think and remember someone to someone the sounds of God’s heartbeat.

Christmas

Though intricate it sounds, no musical notation can befog the meaning of Christmas–not even a blue or a grace note or a mediant scale.  

Collision

The deeper I express my anger, get my dander up; the deeper God displays his love–that’s when my conditional and His unreserved affections collide.   

It's the Practice

One doesn’t find it hard to spell such simple, short word–kind, but it is the practice. If you want to be happy, embrace kindness.  

Indifference

Indifference reins someone in from doing goodness. So do not let it get you if you want your life will never be the same again.

Pet Peeve

One of my biggest pet peeves is enduring indifference. True enough, it doesn’t take a genius to show a tad concern for someone around us.   

Two Qualities

Don't be confused with being introvert form being indifferent - they're two opposite qualities - the latter is innate, the former is a choice - be insouciant not.

  

Behind Names #2: Name & Legacy

I didn’t choose my name or desired for it, but whether or not it’s beautiful I have its legacy to bear–not necessarily heroic.

Behind Names #1: A Prayer

May integrity resounds as people remember me–a life, a person that attracts souls to the Savior-a name designed to adhere goodness.

Blog

Aside from receiving books and hearing wisdom from a favorite author, being mentioned in her blog speaks volume of joy. So proud as a peacock!

A Note to the Keyboardist

As always, thanks for making every song easier to sing - like this morning. You have been my favorite keyboardist for a decade and a half.

Questions

Why do you keep pushing me away-and away while I, for countless times have tried to fit in? Should we blame it on the circumstance?

Willingly

Breaking or breakaway or breakthrough in a slight sense at least, perhaps, I think, resembles to a desire for freedom-starts a step of willingness.  

Those Were The Days

Years from now when I'll be no longer vigorous like I used to-all these'll become those-were-the-days motions-only to recall the days of my youth.

Self-righteous

You behave  and speak like a humble person. Listen when you hiss and spit your venom though-your words are poison to the soul. Save it! 

Workers

Only workers of the same kind understand the heart and needs of other workers. Being a recipient of generosity from outside this peer is eccentric.

Defeat

In my entire life as a player and spectator, I've never seen no defeat-not yet. And acceptance can take the sting out of it.

God and Nature

It's always a joy to meet published authors. This time in a different impression about someone of atypical advocacy-his love for God an nature.

Ouch

As I flipped through the pages trying to grasp each story, the more I could feel the words in conspiracy-at work-stabbing my heart.

Such Book

Reading this book is actually worth dropping another one, but I'm caught unaware how emotionally draining this is-like a heart soaked in agony. Hmm.

 

Response

Each day we're so confronted with queries we know would break or transform us. In this free world, your call matters-embrace wisdom or ignorance.

Picture

Whether or not a picture is candid in itself, there’s always something to unravel behind–like this one–limns lives fashioned by God’s grace.

Assumption

Do you really think that published writers or authors got magic or potion to play with words? Hmm, that is so peanuts to think about.

Vain Words

There were times when I fell for someone’s words–the sweetest promise thought it was. Voila! They were only false hopes gone with the wind.

Pride

Humans are undeniably prideful as I descry it. Were it not for God’s strength, staying humble within a second is no contrast to endless toil.

Rest

Rest isn’t about running away from day-to-day goings-on but staying calm in the arms of the Father amidst all these stressors–a beautiful realization forsooth!

Direction

In life, sometimes, just have to go through a detour or a u-turn so that from this complete reversal or deflection God’s direction is perceived. 

Decision

For every milestone a fragile being regards has always two sides-to draw closer to God or distant from Him. Ugh, dilemma! So be wise.

Unexpected Grace

Dare not to underestimate what God's grace can do to a person. Sooner or later, you'll find yourself completely baffled. I've testified it countless times. 

Legacy

Bequests are necessary, but only those who left legacies of love, compassion, and goodness will be remembered eternally-or let them be as unsung heroes. 

Servanthood

Like a fetter, ego and pride are manacles in my utmost desire becoming a servant-only humility and grace can unshackle me from these chains.  

Keep Serving

The hardest part in service is when it pushes yourself beyond limits-to also consider including the abusive or the undeserving. Keep serving anyway. 

Defiance

If I wasn't a defiant educator in the past, I'd still stick to that dormant ways of teaching until now-but I defied gravity necessarily. 

Dead Dream

For years, I've been haunted by a dead dream. It is kind of huge I left unfulfilled. The time has come to make it happen.

Weakness and Us

Weakness comes in various forms, but the greatest enemy resides within us-the one that opposes or agrees to conquer each battle-it is ourselves.

Bloom

Right in this world where fame or power or greed tries to consume each heart-think you've no place left-just bloom where you are.

Domicile

Why am I an out-and-out stranger in my hearthstone? As if was never part of it. Although have a drifter-I'm a dweller still. 

Kindness

That is why we were born yesteryears or decades ago because it takes time to understand then live kindness out. It isn't just learned overnight.

Books

I'm really picky about reading books, but that's not it - if it transformed the author first, only then I would find it worth spending time.

False Hopes

Whether you're on the side of believing or waiting or the one who lays down every false hope - never fancy anything like this. So vain.

Such Heart

If one could really define family or friendship or relationship without strings attached, that person is genuine then. Good for you who got such heart.

Gratefulness

Being grateful isn't always twined with long-winded thoughts or simple words. After all it is the honesty of mind and earnestness of heart. Silence counts.
