Simple pleasures in the Mundane

This is my portfolio entry for my Masteral Class. It's about descriptive writing. Enjoy! Simple pleasures in the Mundane They say that simplicity is beauty. I dare say, I agree with them. There are things that some of us take for granted but are simple pleasures that make life grand even in the mundane. Like a cup of hot coffee made just right for your taste on a rainy day. The robust smell of the coffee is intensified by the hot water and even the dampness of the weather. The warmth that emanates from the cup between your fingers is also comforting. The simple pleasure of grass, freshly mowed in the morning. The damp smell because of the morning dew adds more to its freshness and coolness as you breathe in and out of its scent. The sound of an in-tune guitar as you strike each chord. The feel of smooth and soft wood as you slide through each chord progression and the vibration of the strings on your finger. The excitement it arouses in you as the song grows more and mor...

“Every day is a Chance to Die”

Romans 8:36 As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” [Psalm 44:22] The Sun is up, Another day is here. I wish I wasn’t up, I just wish to stay here. But I rise from my bed, I get ready instead. I walk to my corner, And my knees I bend. I bow my head, I ready my heart. Another day is about to start. And my life is about to end. Like that Sheep to be slaughtered, I get ready for death. Death to all my doubts and fears, Death to my future wonderings. But along with it are my dreams and my plans, Death even to my rights and desires. So that for His sake, Every day I die. That I will no longer live…. And Jesus in me will forever come alive.

"A friend loves at all times"

Friendship according to the world: You are my friend if..we are always together..if we you tell me everything..if you give me your time..money..energy..how long we've known each other..what I can get from you.. Friendship according to God:  You are my friend not because of what I could get from you but what I could give to you.. You are my friend even if I've only known you now..   You are my friend e ven if we don't see each other and be with all the time...   You are my friend even if I don't know what's happening to you half of the time.. You are my friend even if I don't get the same amount of time, energy and things I pour out to you. You are my friend because you are.  For who you are.  For what you are..  I thank God Jesus is my friend..and also Yours.  That's what's keeping us together!     Soli Deo Gloria! Prov. 27:10 "Never abandon a friend—      either yours or your father’s. W...

Blogging: A bloggers thoughts

Blogging... I've been a blogger now for almost two years. It's the same years when I finally got to know Jesus. And as I look back in my blog it was sort of a chronicle of my Christian walk. I kind of taken it for granted lately.. tsk2x... No updates and no more write ups. It's not that I don't have anything to write about. Actually, I just have a lot in my mind to write about. Busy days. So I'm gonna write something a bit informal...What's on my mind? "Glamorized sin and Sweetening the Enemy" I have my mistakes. And one of it is not just 'glimpsing' but even watching movies that promote this kind of mentality or should I say 'poison'. Sure, they look harmless but as I pray about it God revealed something to me: Satan is not the ugly, gruesome picture we used to see in the Bible. But usually he's almost every character in shows we see in our televisions and in the internet. My example would be this show: The new look for Bea...

“Does God really want me to be Happy?”

“I know God wants me to be happy.” Have you ever heard that statement before? You know what? That’s one of the most pathetic statements I’ve ever heard before. Hey, don’t get me wrong alright. I’m a Christian and I’m not that negative about happiness. In the contrary, I’m positive about it. But if you are in the ministry or desiring to pursue God, I would advise you not to go further if you’re principle in life is that God would grant you a happy life. I had the opportunity of researching the word ‘happiness’ in the Bible and it did not come up as many as expected. And when it comes up in the search, it is usually connected with joy, with the senses, with God and even as a thing as senseless as “chasing the wind”. Why would I advise you to stay away from the pursuit of God if all you want is happiness? Let’s look at the example how Jesus called the First Disciples, He said, “Come, follow me and I will show you how to fish for people!”(Matt. 4:19). Mind you, Jesus did not s...
