December Facebook Status updates...
Isn't it incredible that the turn of time should be joy to so many people... Isn't there something deeply human about being able to enjoy the turn of time around the New Year? Who would you thank for this ability to enjoy the 'turn of time'??? Who would that be, if not the Creator of Time? Thanks be to God for creating Time!!! :)
'The Artist' is a new award winning 'silent' movie. Watching it made me wonder if we shouldn't go back to making silent movie again. In silent movies, you see more than you do with the talking version. The few important dialogues are displayed, because they are few, they carry more weight and you appreciate 'words' better.
To live, really LIVE... one has to see, really SEE which is why I think everyone should be an artist. :)
Be metaphor minded.
Well, the fact of the matter is that sometimes during chit-chat socializing I just feel bored to death. I guess most people feels this way too... I am just saying. :)
The reason why I like older movies is because they had better script. The reason why I like those scripts is because they belied a deep sense of Truth and meaning in life.
We live in a story, but the story is not about us neither are we the Author. In as much as we think the story is about us and we are the Author we are trying to usurp God's prerogatives.
A symptom of Whether one is a 'New Creation' in Christ is in how one SEEs and perceives life. This change in perception happens by 'having the eyes of your hearts enlightened' (Eph 1:18) by the Word of God. So one Fruit of the New Creation is a thirst for the Word of God. You shall know them by their Fruits.
'My Week With Marilyn' shows the decrepit side of love with an ironic sense of lightness.
Well, actually I don't need Christmas lights or Christmas tree to get into the 'Christmas Spirit'. Christmas songs and hanging-out with the Christmas-minded would suffice. To each his own, I guess. :)
When the fear of God dies, man tries to be god. When there is nothing else worthy of worship, man worships himself. When there is nothing else worthy of love, man loves himself. Such is the state of the man 'without the chest'.
I wish my mind had been fertile on Saturday night as it is now. It is twirling with too many ideas that I can't sleep now. Well, I guess sleep will have to give way... somethings are more precious than others. :)
The answer to the question of where our identity lays in the source of our happiness. What do you do when you really want to be happy? What is it about that which you do that makes you happy? If you lose that one thing which makes you happy, what would the loss mean to you?
Sitting on wooden benches at 'Little Burgers' with the sun on my back and cool breeze about. Little burgers to bite into, slush smoothie to sip and a good book to read. Life is good! God has put 'enough' in the quotidian to make us happy and grateful. :)
Love is an end in itself, but knowledge is the basis of love. You can't love something/someone you don't know. Knowledge is important, but it can't be an end in itself. A pursuit of knowledge untethered from love can lead to tyranny, which was what happened with Karl Marx.
When the sense of entitlement is assumed at such a basic level that it becomes a lens through which life is perceived, it jacks-life-up. This is especially true when it comes to matters of pursuit of happYness. "Do 'whatever' makes you happy" is a dictum of modern age. The truth is, without 'norms' the pursuit of happiness becomes destructive...
I was feeling really sleepy and wanted to go to bed... but then I started writing the journal... :)
All discontentment is grumbling against God.
Journey is more important than the destination only as long as you do not believe in ultimate Truth. If you believe in ultimate Truth, then destination matters.
Oh, the sound of good rain! That will be the lullaby to which I'll fall asleep! :)
Anything worthy of admiration ought to be written about.
People talking to me on facebook makes me feel good, but the realization that I am depend on it makes me feel bad. Well, may be I need to take another sabbatical? Hmmmm...
Hey... it is December, how come there isn't any good movies yet???
'O, Holy Night' on full volume on the Sennheiser earphones.... over and over again... goosebumps..
