Desmond and the Written Word.

what power lies in the written word?
if it shall be, that the pen is mightier than the sword,
then this pen has reached the end of it's worth.

if it shall be, that a picture is worth a thousand words,
then the frame might just as well be holding air

because this pair of eyes cannot comprehend what it sees before it.
every penned-phrase that takes the place of bloody battle
is washed white.

alas, white that's whiter than even snow.

word of man, word of man, you are disgraced, and denounced.
you lie in your latent form, powerless.
where is your sting?
where now the milk and honey?

you hold no sway over perception of the half-empty-full cup.

now, this house rests it's case:
No power lies in the written word.

Desmond and Okay.

Just feet away from her sister Maria's tiny white coffin, Shaohannah Chapman stood with her parents and listened as her daddy read a letter she wrote.

"I will see you soon, but not too soon. I hear the roads are made of solid gold and God waits for everyone. When you see that I'm coming, wait for me at the gate," he continued as Maria's pictures — smiling in huge sunglasses or sitting next to her birthday cake — flashed on two screens behind him.

Boy's plight remembered

The Saturday service, sometimes pierced by spontaneous laughter from the pews caused by funny Maria stories, also served as a reminder that another life, that of the teenage boy who drove the truck, has been shattered.

"I haven't always been a good brother," one of the Chapman boys said. "Just like my dad helped Maria, I hope I help my brother. … (God) healed Maria in a way we don't like, but he's going to heal (my brother) in a way we're going to like."

And then Chapman recalled how he tried to fight for his little girl in the hospital, how he told the doctors he needed to pray, he needed to save her.

"That's what you do as a dad," he said, his voice breaking up. And how he asked God for a sign to know that his daughter was OK, and the frustration when it didn't come. Not right away, he said. And then he found a card Maria painted but never finished. When he turned it around, it read "see."

"I heard her little voice and the voice of God," he said. "She said: 'See, dad, it's OK.' "

It's so incredible to me, that You have so much grace and forgiveness for everyone. So incredible to me that You see us individually, instead of lumping us altogether. So incredible, that You can say, " it's okay child, the punishment of your sins have been paid for," even when we have given ourselves up as hopeless-cases.
Today, something reminded me of how 'practical' I am when it comes to You. How I cry out for Your presence, but take it for granted when You have so graciously given it to me.
"I could search for all eternity Lord, and find, there is none like You."

Desmond and the Idol 08' Finale.

Hahaha I know this is so ridiculous for a blog entry. but argh. Carrie Underwood is really really pretty and I'm kinda late for the idol finale bandwagon.. but here goes.

And in my opinion, one of the most enjoyable performance of the night. Michael Johns and Carly Smithson had so much chemistry. It was so fun to watch them.

Michael Johns.. way too early man. way too early. nice vest tho!!

Oh Carrie, even with the ridiculous scarf-cuff thing.

K, I have no patience to properly upload pictures, or to find them. Haha.. this will suffice. ARGH! Just like if you can sing, you can sing the telephone book and it'd be nice... If you look good with a stupid scarf-cuff thingy, you can look good in anything.

And one for David Cook, who sang a really nice song for his last night.. Dream Big. haha..

K enough already desmond!!
Up, up and away!!(:
e my Home.

Desmond, Jones, Wayne and Caspian.

It only dawned on me today that Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, The Dark Knight, and Prince Caspian are coming out this year!! And two of them within weeks of each other!!

Yes, I knew the movies were coming, but i didn't know, know, you know?

It is quite plain that I like Batman, like duh... But I have never said how much I liked Indiana Jones as a kid. I guess I forgot all bout him, until last year when I heard bout KotCS, and it sorta all came back to me.

Now... I did a fair bit of re-prioritising in terms of my favourite superhero, and I'm sad to say Batsy has been bumped to whatever number follows after Dr Jones. Hey! Indy's just way too cool to come after Batman.

And as a kid, I made my own whip, got my own Fedora hat (well, as fedorish as it could get,) and imagined myself as Indiana Jones' side kick, fighting evil nazi soldiers and the like, and piecing puzzles together. Then getting similar clothes to him, and not to mention swinging from one end of the stairs to the other. (PRETENDING to swing, by tying one end of my 'whip' to the railings, then running from side to side. ) Come on man, even the theme song is as timeless as the one from Starwars!

Yes, yes... I lived the Indy-high life.

And while I've never watched all the Indiana Jones' films, I've rewatched The Last Crusade so much I blew the tape. (k haha, i exaggerate, but you get the point.) Still, here's hoping that all 3 movies will be real good.

Don't let me down Jones, Wayne and Caspian!

Desmond and the Sayings.

Well. "There is a first time for everything."

(Oh my word. And it feels kinda strange to be typing a blog entry again after so long. )

I realised that this is the first time since I've started blogging (which is like eons ago,) that I've not blogged for an entire month. And just to clarify, I wasn't on the media fast. Altho I didn't do alot of things cos I kinda felt guilty blogging, and gaming, if there were others who couldn't.

Anyways, in keeping with the dishing out of sage-wise sayings.. here's one to end off.

.....

I can't phrase my story properly. Anyways it ends with "Monkey See, Monkey Do."

Well, Einstein did say, "Imagination is more important than knowledge." (Courtesy of Preacher from Morning service.)

And, you do know what they say about Imagination: "It's the best policy."

K. Fine. It's Honesty that's the best policy. And in lieu of that, the Einstien quote was courtesy of morning service AND google!!

Sayings are so fun! haha. (: night world.
(And I promise to blog better stuff than this heap of rubbish next time.)
