How to practically make Jesus the reason for the season this Christmas

The yuletide part of the year has come upon us again! But despite all the feverish holiday preparations, decorations and festivity anxieties going on, I doubt if unbelievers generally actually get a better chance of hearing about Jesus now than during the rest part of the year anymore. Christmas being about publishing Jesus and the [...]

Books I’m reading lately

Well there is something that I definitely didn’t stop doing in the village: Reading! Here are a few books I read recently (I couldn’t make out time to do personal reviews or commentary so I found and put up some book review links if you’re interested) …

Poetry: The World

The world is standing on her crown
Her skirt’s open to outer space
Everything is seen in delusion
For rebellion like a thick fog mantles the atmosphere

Poetry: No Dissatisfaction

Right now I could have questions
Happenings I wish I could know why
Like some difficult temptations
I hope He would explain by and by.
When in glory I see His face
I would know why sometimes He let me feel forsaken
Saying “sufficient for you is my grace”
-Even when my only consolation was the hope of heaven.
But then I have [...]

Poetry: Anger

Anger seethes like boiling water
When you release it by force -
Scathing and hurting – sorry for who gets burnt
And yourself limp, sapped and choking with remorse.

But when suppressed within
Its steam rises to clog the mind
And the heat would not escape
So its pressure prevails to subject body and soul
To an ugly sickly feeling…

Poetry: Small World

Now and then a stranger or event
rings a familiar bell
and I’m caught wondering
how it’s a small world really.

Everyday history repeats itself
happenstance has run out of new tricks
in its magic bag
because it’s a small world by and large [...]

Poetry: Chance

When the dials of a lottery machine spin
and hearts beat to match it’s fast clocking,
it may seem like the dials have a mind of their own
and with centripetal resolution know where they’re going.
But when the pointer finally rests, the result is nothing new;
so neither faith, fate or mechanical force can take the glory,
but mere chance [...]

On emotions

The following represent a few opinionative thoughts of mine about human emotions.
Emotions, naturally are by all means innocent. There should not be a need to judge an emotion as justifiable or as bad, rather it is the attitude we adopted or decisions we make despite ourselves and our inner emotions that could be regarded as [...]

More Travelling

I’ve not done a post in a while on the Everyday Christian Blog because I’ve been moving a lot recently. I have always had a wishful love for travelling, I just want to see places, and learn about different environments and different people; the only reason why I’ve never made any plans to see all [...]
