This is an excellent post to read.
'On God's earth, there are two types of people. Givers and Takers. Givers will give even when they're poor, and the good Lord will often mysteriously place things into their hands, that they may continue giving. Takers, on the other hand, will keep taking, no matter how much wealth they've amassed. You just have to decide which one you want to be. In today's world, many wealthy people have a bad habit of taking, taking, taking, and from people who are poorer than them.'

"Intellectual disgrace
Stares from every human race,
And the seas of pity lie
Locked and frozen in each eye
Follow, poet, follow right
To the bottom of the night
With your unconstraining voice
Still persuade us to rejoice
With the farmyard of a verse,
Make a vineyear of the curse,
Sing of human unsucess
In a rapture of distress
In the deserts of the heart,
Let the healing fountain start
In the prison of his days
Teach the free man how to praise"
Short extract from Wordsworth's The Table Turned
I vowed to make loving people part of my motto of 2006 and I realise loving people is hard especially when sometimes things get emotionally draining and that is when you have to detach yourself a bit so you don't get so sucked up that you lose your passion and drive for life. 2006 has been a beautiful year thus far. Learning not to be so uptight with things, taking things as it comes and learning when its time to step back and say there is only so much I can do.
I'm rediscovering little mysteries, little miracles and little blessings and little guiding thoughts as I preciously flip open my brown little bible every night. In the words of a Cole Porter song performed by Ella Fitzgerald that has been ringing in my head of late, "Let's do it, Let's fall in love". Of course, I don't mean it literally here, but just to fall in love with little things. Things like a neighbour's hello, a little gesture of rememberance, a little word to say you care. In rediscovering the mundane, I think I might be rediscovering life, i hope. :)
** Edit: In my state of sleepiness, this blog entry came to exist on a Ke7 webbie as I mistakenly clicked on the wrong tab. This was meant to go onto my own blog, but since I realised I made a mistake- I figured I'll jus leave this post here so that it will "de-intellectualise" the look of this blog, making it more personal. :)

How the Kingdom Comes - Christianity Today Magazine
Too often, of course, the contemporary church simply mirrors the culture. Increasingly, we are less a holy city drawn together around Christ and more a part of the suburban sprawl that celebrates individual autonomy, choice, entertainment, and pragmatic efficiency. These are values that can build highways and commerce, but they cannot sustain significant bonds across cultural divides and between generations. Capitulating to niche demographics and marketing, churches that once nurtured the young, middle-aged, and elderly together, with all of the indispensable gifts that each one brings to the body of Christ, often now contribute to the rending of this intergenerational fabric. If this is a worrisome trend in the social sphere, it is all the more troubling for a body that is constituted by its Lord as a covenantal community.
