Speak to me...in Parables
i want to or so even desire to be spoken to in language that is understandable yet not understandable.
i want be spoken to in terms like riddles or teasers
i like spoilers
i also like if i could speak as such to people
if only i did, what hurt would i be masking? speaking in parables gets us hidden meanings. Jesus did it, but we aint Jesus..right down to the color of our skin to the intentions and reasons we choose to deploy a parable..
most of us in the end...just para-babble
yea parababble

But Sharp just dont Cut it anymore?
define blunt. just being pure straightforward
in a matter of seconds what we all know of a certain trend, a way to do things, or possibly what we thought a thing would look, sound, smell or even taste like has just taken another edge towards change.
things just change, while Christians or the religious would tone down on using evolution prior to change, i think evolution just suits it best.
like imagine the prospects of us being in an alien world beckons us at the dawn of say 5 years and going
if i were to be blunt now, it's all about having a different set of views, probably a paradigm shift in the way we do things. Concepts probably will be the same, evolution has always had the same concept, just that it portrayed different variants. so would be the concepts of life, health and especially religion
can we then flow with the variants of religion especially, since the challenges are stacked up against us for a proper apologetic
or will we run out in our defense of the gospel, having ourselves left in the end in a world of bliss, a blissful world, a blissful world of doubt.
goodie

just not quite right
its almost 5 a.m, and i m staring blankly at an assignment i need to get done for some in-class presentation. bible school, its a tough world in there. and i m part of it.
what's disturbing? real life case studies. getting in a religious institution is a real life business. probably its massively demented that everything's holy flips sideways to be UNHOLY. AHAHAHAHAHA
but how much did i know of that i would actually start painting a canvas that would have all this moments in them as part of the paint and pictures, a canvas called my life.

We Just Cant Mind OUr Business
REJOICE! Barack Obama has become the president of the United States. Colored people down in freedom land are overwhelmed at the amazing, no, historic feat that has just taken the entire world by storm. how would this moment of change shine forth for the future of the United States, we dont know, but there is something that is happening now, something much bigger than all the colored and white people of the United States, the world put together is happening.
the people of Malaysia are rejoicing. OBAMA BOLEH!!!!
probably seeing the prophetic future of the world petrol price sinking lower with Obama's reform, i have no clue why all Malaysians are looking to Obama for political candy.
How will Obama affect Malaysia? probably a few visits, talks, probably some work together campaign. But does it concern the Bolehland society? we can all look to him as the democrat crusader, the man with the Big D instead of the Big S. but thats all we can do...LOOK.
when will we ever look to our Asianess, Bolehness, to actually do something about our own country, besides just drooling at Barack Obama, and the fact he is the first black american president?
psssstttt: Obama is Malaysian.
OBAMA BOLEH! MALAYSIA BOLEH! SEMUA PUN BOLEH!

The God who suffers...
i have alwiz attributed divinity to being transcendent. it does not and will not have anything to do with us, emotionally or personally. we make it personal because we encounter it, not that it counters us.
but then how can i reflect on a God that actually died for me, if he did not suffer first?
probably escapism wasnt much of his routine, but to actually think that it can be radical after all that true divinity is when it bridges the mortal with immortality realistically.

reflection: just maybe
it has been awhile since i was able to form up an expository outline. probably this time, was just out of a mere compulsive, carnal attitude to just meet one thing: assignment requirement. after being confined to the realm of what is known as the books of the Minor Prophets i had to pick a text.
searching through, everyone claims that prayer is the key to a good beginning. well i didnt obey it one bit. actually i dwell upon the how many times do i soak myself in prayer all the time as a bible school student. probably none when i should. and after deliberately searching i found one text. Hosea 11:1-4.
after reading through, i did not catch it at first. reread it again. didnt catch it the second time. reread, reread,reread. darn, all the times where i ponder about how can a fish survive out of the water does not compare to actually getting whats under the blanket for this text.
then i realized one thing:
to write love on your heart, it requires reflection on the past.
