the hour grows late, and i am still here, up and wideawake and wondering...i've not really been able to sleep for the past few nights and i can't really tell why.
so many things i have on my mind...from mundane to major to perplexing. and i have no idea where to begin. confusion reigns...and yet i have an instinct that at a deeper level, i will be able to sort all of this out in its own time.
been writing a good lot of humourous posts lately, maybe all i want to do is forget that i have all this to think about. less than a month more to exams, and there is so much i don't know...i feel even more ignorant than when i did last year when i missed a goodly portion of second sem to do Jessup work. i was totally lost, especially in land law where i ended up flunking the test. i managed an A- in the end though, thanks to the great lecturer, Dr Yong and my 2 Musketeer friends.
but say what, tomorrow is another day to figure things out, to get the head and heart oriented in the right direction. the journey to the heartland takes place when there is a need to, and i know i'll make it through. because even when i thought i was alone in the desert, i wasn't. He was there with me.
God bless, and happy studying/working on thesis...we'll all make it...you'll never walk alone (liverpool club song). have a care, the journey isn't just for a day.
i still have many worries, and i wonder where i m going (quo vadis?) but that is for another day to decide. i can only live one day at a time ... now i will share something from catholic exchange
and hope that this will help keep the fire going in all of us...you are in my prayers, always.
Joshua 1:5
No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you.
--------------------
The simple lesson of today's Scripture is this: There is nothing God commands that he will not also enable us to do. God does not play games with us. He does not ask us to dance and then glue our feet to the floor. He is for us, not against us. He not only gives us the command, he gives us the will, ability, and strength to do what he bids us to do. If you, like Joshua, are facing a Canaan that needs conquering in your life so that you can do God's will, don't be afraid: God will be with you and will not fail you or forsake you.
amen to that. :)

Found your blog through the Homunculus. I've written on matters of faith indirectly, and I wonder if you would be interested on this post on Eastern Orthodoxy and iconography at all.
hello ashok, thanks for the link...i found it a very interesting and well-written piece on iconography which does form a part of the Catholic belief system...
Glad you liked it. More pertinent to your beliefs are probably these posts on Gerard Manley Hopkins' "God's Grandeur" and Hopkins' fragment Summa.
ashok, once again, thank you for the links...and i am moved beyond words by Gerald Manley Hopkins' poetic talent. his words are so beautiful and so profound...
your write ups have been amazing too, they show a lot of maturity and thought, and i appreciate the depth of thinking you've put into them.
hope to hear from you again.
