From the Dark
From dark clouds
we get water to drink
From dark mines
we get bright jewels
From the darkest trials
come our best blessings.
Be still.
God is in control.
How Evil Are You?
This is odd. And I actually believed that I am prepared for our upcoming Evangelistic Night on Saturday.
Naah! I stand true to myself & I know I am prepared for Saturday. Just entertaining you a bit. Enjoy!
How Evil Are You
| You Are 70% Evil |
 You are very evil. And you’re too evil to care.Those who love you probably also fear you. A lot. |
The Queer English Language
We’ll begin with box; the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox is oxen, not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
But the plural of mouse in not ever meese.
You may find a lone mouse, or a whole nest of mice,
But the plural of house is still never hice.
If the plural of man is always men
Why shouldn’t the plural of pan be pen?
If I speak of a foot and you show me two feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth, and a whole set are teeth
Why shouldn’t the plural of booth be called beeth?
If a singular this is a plural these
Should the plural of kiss ever be keese?
We speak of a brother and also call brethren,
And though we say mother we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
But imagine the feminine she, shis and shim.
- Alice Hess Beveridge
What Color of Martini Are You?
Just playin’. I’m busy this week so I’ll just leave you with this. Enjoy! =)
What color of Martini are You
| You Are A Blueberry Martini |
 You are a eclectic drink - liking to change drinks and venues often.You are usually the first of your friends to find a cool new dive bar or cocktail. You should never: Drink mystery drinks strangers hand you. Unless you want to wind up in a foreign country. (Hmm.. maybe I do! LOL) Your ideal party: Is mobile, hopping from party to party. Your drinking soulmates: Those with an Orange Martini personality. Your drinking rivals: Those with a Chocolate Martini personality. |
The Brightest Star
They who clear the clouds for others will get sunshine for themselves.
They who give light unto others make themselves the brightest star.
They who give light unto others make themselves the brightest star.
This reminds me of our former Musical Director. Mae always beams the brightest smile on us and that alone is enough to cause us all to behave well during choir practices. Even the naughtiest among us listens to her. Even the most rebellious in the group respects her. And I believe its all because of her magical smile. It moves us all in a very uplifting way that even the darkest of our thoughts are thrown back by just one smile from her.
Ofcourse she’s also doing very well in her trade, truly worthy of respect. But the thought of this one person being able to bring inspiration to the entire group bewilders me. I’ve been with several musical groups and management always seemed to be a tough job that I could almost see the wrinkles form on the group leaders face. Like they’re growing old right in front of me.
Still, Mae manages to smile and make us smile too! Its like her presence never fails to let the sunshine in. How she does it, I have no clue. Why she does it? Maybe to let the sunshine in her life as well.
She has shown me that its possible to accomplish perfection without incurring stress spots and premature wrinkles. For the few years that I played under her baton, Mae has brought a brilliant light upon us and for this she herself has indeed become the brightest star.
10 Language Twists
1. Ever wonder about those people who spend $2.00 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backwards: NAIVE
2. OK…. so if the Jacksonville Jaguars are known as the "Jags" and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are known as the "Bucs," what does that make the Tennessee Titans?
3. If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea…does that mean that one enjoys it?
4. If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren’t people from Holland called Holes?
5. Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery?
6. If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?
7. Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist but a person who drives a racecar is not called a racist?
8. Why isn’t the number 11 pronounced onety one?
9. If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn’t it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed?
10. If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it Fed UP?
Do You Know What’s UP?
There is a two letter word that perhaps has more meaning than any other two letter word it’s UP. It’s easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we waken in the morning, why do we wake UP? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends, we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, wewarm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special, and this is confusing. A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.
We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP. To be knowledgeable of the proper uses of UP, look UP the word in the dictionary. In a desk size dictionary, UP takes UP almost 1/4th the page and definitions add UP to about thirty. If you are UP to it, you might trybuilding UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don’t give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When it doesn’t rain for a while, things dry UP. One could go on and on, but I’ll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP, so I’ll shut UP.

Words That Inspire
"The important thing is not to be bitter over lifes’ difficulties. Learn to let go of the past and recognize that everyday won’t be sunny. And if you find yourself lost in darkness and despair, remember - it is only in the black of night that you can see the stars and those stars will lead you back home. So don’t be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble, to fall.. because most of the time the greatest rewards come from doing things that scare you most."
This is a pretty lengthy one and I have no idea who originally wrote it. I just recieved it through SMS and felt moved by it so I thought I’d share it with you. If you know where this quote came from please let me know so I may give them proper recognition.

One Night..
One night I ran away
Got lost in the world
Stumbled
Cried
Ran after someone
Got wounded
Dreamt
Fell into puddles
And stood up again
Cool huh?! And it all happened in one night!
Arms Of Love
I alone will be accompanying a soloist in this song. No lead nor rhythm guitars, no bass guitar, and no prcussions (although there’s some in the CD). I have the lyrics here. Read on. Then listen to it. And if you like it, buy it! You dont want to be one of the many thieves who take away the food from an artist and a musicians table, do you?
Arms of Love
by Amy Grant
Lord Im really glad youre here.
I hope you feel the same when you see all my fear,
And how I fail,
I fall sometimes.
Its hard to walk on shifting sand.
I miss the rock, and find theres nowhere left to stand;
I start to cry.
Lord, please help me raise my hands so you can pick me up.
Hold me close,
Hold me tighter.
I have found a place where I can hide.
Its safe inside
Your arms of love.
Like a child whos helped throughout a storm,
You keep me warm
In your arms of love.
Storms will come and storms will go.
Wonder just how many storms it takes until
I finally know
Youre here always.
Even when my skies are far from gray,
I can stay;
Teach me to stay there,
In the place Ive found where I can hide.
Its safe inside
Your arms of love.
Like a child whos helped throughout a storm,
You keep me warm
In your arms of love.
Everyday
Everyday brings new chances to grow
New beauty to see
New plans to do
and goals to pursue.
Everyday is a step towards our dreams in life.
Currently, every day of my life is consumed by rehearsals. We need to practice, practice, practice! Though it won’t take us any closer to Carnegie Hall, we practice some more with high hopes and prayers that we would be instrumental to the drawing of people closer to faith.
Sometimes I wonder how marvelous the works of man can be when all who work in it has faith in its outcome.
Death In The Circle Of Friends
Today I mourn the loss of friends.
Don’t get me wrong, they’re still around. You might even come across one of them around the University, around town even!
Still, I grieve the loss of memories.
A tragic exchange of conflicting principles unearth my homicidal tendencies. Until everything that screamed all at once now fall into dead silence. Three teardrops. One for each person whose fond memory no longer exists.

One word can describe what I am feeling right now. Sad.
Don’t try to ask me why, nor what happened. I can not answer yet.
A few minutes fly. The tears are now dry.
"Is it because of your friends?" you bravely ask.
Perplexed I can only answer with yet another question, "What friends?"
My Best Friend, My Worst Enemy
I am convinced that the worst enemy anyone could ever have is their best friend. The last time I checked, there is only one person that I can consider as my best friend. The trouble is, she was never a friend to begin with. She was a secret lover, a stranger, a cheer leader (she danced while I rock).
A perfect illustration of poles are we. She expresses her feelings while mine, reserved. She wears pink, I wear blue. Or she’d wear black if I wore white. She rules the halls of the elite kind, while I live out the reputation of those that lurk in the dark, narrow streets. She’s a Catholic, I’m a Protestant. She skips Sunday mass, I’m a church pianist.
I tried to command her existence in my life, tried to make her cross the tight-rope of my will but as perfect as she is, she did not fit the categories I have set. She always had trouble finding her way towards my elusive spirit until she stopped predicting my actions, my emotions, my decisions. She failed to tie me to her shoes. We both gave up. She stayed an inch farther from my arms’ reach while I strapped myself at the back of her head.
Then I saw how incredibly wonderful she is in her world as she marveled at how I governed mine. I admire her greatly. We both have learned our place in each others life and it is not within each ones world. Dissolving the enclosure of our comfortable domain, we lovingly complimented each other as opposites.
At a time we discussed about what will happen if we parted. That was a bit difficult to imagine because we can’t tell who will leave and who’ll be left behind. Nonetheless, it’s a scary thought for both of us because we both keep our promises and (thanks to the misery delivered by her ex and mine) we have sworn to make a living hell out of anyone who would dare hurt us in any way.
We may not be the best of friends, or atleast we did not begin our life together in this manner, but we have learned too much about each other to risk becoming each one’s ex. We both know enough to threaten our lives with a daily supply of irritation and torment.
As my complimenting opposite I respect her capacity to anger as I fear mine. She is my best friend and my perfect adversary. I love her and her unfamiliar world will always bewilder me as our lives entangle in a daily pleasant surprise.
