Good Friday 2013

-

The car park had quite a few cars parked yet there was a stillness.  The church was empty.  I moved to the sanctuary but it was locked so I ended up in the peace of the church.  The import of the moment hit me; the crucifix covered in red cloth!  Even if one does not believe in God and only sees Jesus as a man, I know I could not die on a cross for anyone!  What He did for us; His darkness ended in light for us!

As I sat in church this morning, listening to my thoughts yet not knowing what to do or where to turn, this song came to me.  



Consecrated cross
O' consecrated cross
Consecrated cross
I bow to YOU
Hear my cries O'Lord
Pity me dear Lord
Take me from these depths
Open up my eyes
Rise me up on high
Remember I'm YOUR child
O' consecrated cross

I do indeed fear what God is telling me.     Is it God?  If I believe my inner spirit is God, then I must do.

    Hi Jin:

    It seems to me that life always has a double message. J.C. was convicted and punished for a crime (in the time that he lived). Meaning #1. Yet, this same horrendous mode of death is interpreted as the means by which thousands are rescued from the eternal fire in the other life. Not easy to comprehend when the human mind can only comprehend the physical level.

Easter Sunday Musings

I am still at the stage of life where I wonder at the creation of life: how did this world form?  There must be other worlds, I won't be so arrogant as to believe that Earth is the only world.  How did the God, in which I believe create this world and for what purpose?  Why did he put me here, in this time, at this place?   Did my soul really choose this life?  Could it not have made a better selection  :/?  Yes, I am at the beginning.

After the rains

Good day!  What a beautiful day the Lord has made!  We have experienced our miracle, that of being alive and kicking today! I posted part of these comments below in response to Philo Alexis Baptiste's statement and it will be my blog of the day.  I want us to be creative and find solutions to this continual problem, which may not be so specific to Trinidad and Tobago as it may seem. _______________________ I am yet to hear government has begun work on straightening rivers, strengthening their banks , enforcing the laws that restrict building development above a certain feet and in general putting into effect mitigation practices to abate this annual flooding.  When will Cabinet sit and organize this?  All well and good to assist in the short-term but what medium to long-term measures are being designed and implemented? Were the Corporations given monies to do remedial work BEFORE the rainy season?  If so, who screwed up at the Corporations?  How do we ensure via training
