Ceasor by the King of Kings

When the does the word or name Caesar come to mind ?.. An Emperor in a white robe ? My cousin even said salad.. Haha.. But well, Caesar's the dog ( actually a puppy) my grandmother brought back from Malacca. This puppy isn't the cutest of them but everytime I look at it, I always think what it is probably thinking. Every morning, when I wake up it gives me this most "poorthing" look which is sooooooo amazingly irressitable.

But you know, it was probably yesterday or today that got me thinking that, "Hey, the same person that made Caesar also made me !!!" Amazing isn't it that God would be so creative ? I thought this simple post would be a bit refreshing especially to all pet owners out there.. Hehehe..

This is Me

"This is real, This is me,

I'm exactly where I'm suppose to be now,

Gotta let the light shine on me.."

Three simple lines played such a heavy role in a movie released in Malaysia during last weekend. The highly anticipated,"Camp Rock" of course. Today thousands of pre-teens and teenagers and the usual few 'hip' adults sing this song heartily. Yet, looking at this three lines, reflects on our daily lives, isn't it ?? Mitchie, a daughter of a simple chef/cook tries to colour her life in the movie by explaining to her "new" friends that she comes from a rich family and having a fabulous life. (Of course getting into some mess during the movie.) But as my post ," Are You a Dark Night ?" had already challenged, I hope to challenge again to every single Christian reading this post," How much of us a real (with family, friends and especially God) ?"

I'm glad to testify that going through the month of August was a real delight. Klang Jaya Gospel Hall had gone through a great series of messages during our 5 Sunday services on the vital church issues. Moreover, my church had gone through a Bible Study series called,"When God's People Pray" by Pastor Jim Cymbala from Brooklyn Tabernacle Church which was inspiring to say the least. Overall, we really experienced a real breakthrough in our church last month and hopefully in my life as I see the fruit in the long-hall.

Here's the rendition of three lines of ,"This is Me"(beginning of this post) from Camp Rock I thought we Christian should shout out !! :

"This is real, This is me,

I'm exactly where You've put me in, now,

Gotta light the light shine from me"

Luv,

Title: Bible Story
Artist: Scott Krippayne



God always has a plan
Like when He used a man
To show the people what faith was for
David knew it from the start
God was dealing with his heart
An opportunity was knocking at his door
Now he's the reason why we say
And use that old cliché
The bigger they come the harder they fall
'Cause with only five rocks
And a little slingshot
Goliath wasn't so big after all


(Chorus)
Stand up, stand up
You don't have to be afraid
He will give you courage
He will give you strength
Put your faith in God
And I promise if you do
He will make a Bible story out of you !!!


Daniel didn't give up when
They threw him in the den
Of lions that had quite an appetite
The king woke up and found
God had sent an angel down
To turn those lions into cats that couldn't bit
And everybody knows how the story goes
A man was called to set His people free
Underneath the desert sun
With nowhere left to run
That's when Moses parted the seachorus
You don't have to be perfect


(Bridge)
God can use you wherever you are
All it takes is a little faith
And a willing heart

Are You a Dark Knight ?

As the buzz of Batman is spread out, I can't help thinking of my favourite Batman movie previously "Batman Returns" and if you remember the villain was "the Penguin" played by Danny DeVito. As I opened one of my books a quote of 'the Penguin' from the movie was written on the page after the cover. This was the quote:

"You're just jealous because I'm a real freak !!..

and you have to wear a mask"

-the Penguin

As I thought I picked up a Christian book, it was weird finding a quote of the penguin in such a prominent place in the book. I flipped to the front cover and the book was titled, " Live like a Jesus Freak". So it kinda got me thinking: how much of a freak are we for Him or are we wearing a mask just because "we're not ready" to be freaks ? Let's face it being a freak ain't nice. But what, then, makes us different ? It's the essence of the Christian Life : Living Differently. But its our choice how much different we actually wanna be.. I want to be a freak and I want to be real - which would make me a real freak !! That's the way we can "carry our crosses" and the only way we actually suffer for Christ is to be a freak. Hahaha.. Yup, you heard me.. BE A FREAK.. LIVE FOR JESUS.. and LIVE IT TO THE MAX..

Funny or is it ?...

Funny how a $100 "looks" so big when you take it to church, but so small when you take it to the mall.

Funny how long it takes to serve God for an hour, but how quickly a team plays 60 minutes of basketball.

Funny how long a couple of hours spent at church is, but how short they are when watching a movie.

Funny how we can't think of anything to say when we pray, but don't have difficulty thinking of things to talk about to a friend.

Funny how we get thrilled when a football match goes into extra time, but we complain when a sermon is longer than the regular time.

Funny how hard it is to read a chapter in the Bible, but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a best selling novel.

Funny how people want to get a front seat at any game or concert, but scramble to get a back seat at church services.

Funny how we need 2 or 3 weeks advance notice to fit a church event
into our schedule, but can adjust our schedule for other events at the last moment.

Funny how hard it is for people to learn a simple gospel well enough to tell others, but how simple it is for the same people to understand and repeat gossip.

Funny how we believe what the newspaper says, but question what the Bible says.

Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided they do not have to believe, or think, or say, or do anything.
