We will meet again

I am thankful for my friends; they have been many. Each has left some dear cherished memory. Sometimes I can relate them to places, names, books, events, letters and even songs. Occasionally, some memories are revived strongly; a picture or the mention of a place or an activity. However the fondest memories are those of my favourite place and the people associated with it. The mist laden hills; high up in the eastern Himalayas.The long winding roads. Times when the road to a friends house was never too long. The taste of the local delicacies. The glorious, blazing red colour of the rhodhodhendrons in early spring. The vibrant painting of the himalayas by the early rays of the rising sun...transforming the colours of the sleepy mountains from once pale grey, to red, then pink, to orange, to golden yellow and then vibrant dazzling white. One evening, I was caught in a dense fog. Visibility was barely a feet. I would have to bring my hands...

Matthew 10:29  Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. Matthew 10:31  Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. Luke 12:6  Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? Luke 12:7  But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. From the above passages of the Bible figure this out! If two sparrows worth a farthing, then what would two farthings get you? If you got four sparrows as an answer then you are wrong. For the passage clearly states that 2+2=5!!! How is this possible? I learnt this from my Bible teacher. We were out shopping at the local market one day and a seller with five woven bamboo stools caught my teacher's attention. After a hard bargain, the seller was ready to give the stools for 10 units of the local money. Since my teache...

Her Father's eyes

Yes, its past valentine. Like the magi, I have sought an unsurpassed gift for you my love. Words fail... but this song reminds me of what I have always seen in you. You look beautiful... nay glorious so much more... because you have your Father's eyes. And this song, my love is all about you.

Be still

How would it be if the world you know of, live in and depend on for your day-to-day life is turned upside down? A sudden storm in life, an earthquake, a disaster. Sometimes disasters loom in slowly...you can see it coming, and yet there is little that you can do to prevent it. How would it feel to have the very basis of your life removed from your feet? May be it is your job or maybe its your relationship with a loved one or still maybe a life threatening illness! How would it be to have all your expectations in life come crashing down? To have all your hopes dashed down! Do you have something or someone to cling to when everything else gives way? While reading about some of the unconquerable fortresses in the world, I found one thing in common among them. That each of them had an inexhaustible supply of water and food within them. Do you have access to this unlimitless Living water and bread in times of severe emergencies and long drawn exigencies? Is there one hope and certai...
