Hidden away

Colossians 3:3  For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

I have been grappling with this issue of "hiding" for a while. My earnest prayer has been that I may be hidden in Christ. This has also meant I have needed to hide myself, sometimes reluctantly, sometimes deliberately, from pulls and pushes that separate me from Christ.

Ravi, grapples with another issue of "hiddenness".  Almost the other extreme from my current position. While my current position is tending towards sensitiveness to God's presence, the other side of the coin would be the hiddenness of God. Why is God not obvious to so many people? For many He may be up there somewhere but certainly not in a realm where He is relevant to our day-to-day lives. For some He simply does not exist!

That's it from me. It would be good for you to listen to Ravi now!

'Tis hope, That keeps us going on. 'Tis hope, That makes us stay. 'Tis hope, That lightens up the load.  'Tis hope, that the seed, dormant for many years, once sown, finds life. Romans 15:13  - May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. 1...

Mysteries in the Mist

I am not a regular viewer of Netflix or Amazon prime, but two web series and one film captured my viewing interest. What got me binge watching these, though not in one go, was a combination of familiar location and local actors coupled with compelling stories and engaging drama. The first I watched was "The Last Hour", a mystery story based in Sikkim, with glimpses of  a familiar school: Dr Graham's Homes in Kalimpong. The story revolved around a local shamaan or Jhakri, who uses his uncanny sense of the nether world for solving the mystery. The second, a movie, called "Jaane Jaan" with the recurring theme of murder mystery in the mist, this time featuring a Darjeeling school: Mount Hermon. The mathematics teacher in this movie, uses his dogged persistence in solving maths problems to become part of the murder mystery solution. The most recent one "Pataal-lok-Season 2", another murder mystery story shot on location in Nagaland. The location in the fina...
