Music for the Soul

Saturday, September 29, 2007


I've spent the last few hours on youtube listening to music, and it leaves me with a strange melancholy. The playlist, if one could call it that, began with MLTR with a sprinkling of Chinese oldies (Jacky Cheung, anyone?), and progressed into popular opera with Pavarotti and Domingo.

I know and have heard precious little of the operatic voice, and as such would make a poor judge. But performances like that of Pavarotti's Nessun Dorma, or Bocelli's and Sarah Brightman's Time to Say Goodbye tug such deep heartstrings that I am reduced to tears. At the same time, I wonder, how critics sitting live in such performances can come out griping about sub-par performances. Music is meant to be appreciated.

Sam the shoplifting seagull!

This is so hilarious it is epic! Sam reminds me most of Remy in Ratatouille with all his dainty little inflections to reach his goal - in Sam's case, chilli doritos! Hahaha.

No longer I that liveth

Thursday, September 13, 2007


Trust in the LORD and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you your heart's desires. Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust him, and he will help you.

Psalm 37:3-5 (New Living Translation)

It's so easy to forget what comes first. I haven't had some time away with the Lord for a while. Verses that would strengthen me so readily in the past now seem hazy in my mind, much less my heart.

But God's word never fails. Even if I waver, His faithfulness endures through all generations. It's time to commit everything to Him once more. Time to trust Him in the worst and best of times. To trust Him no matter how I feel or what I see.

Because I know that above all else, God will help me.

Work

Tuesday, September 11, 2007


From the New Living Translation,

Colossians
3:22
You slaves must obey your earthly masters in everything you do. Try to please them all the time, not just when they are watching you. Obey them willingly because of your reverent fear of the Lord.
3:23
Work hard and cheerfully at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.
3:24
Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and the Master you are serving is Christ.

I've had a long week. Suffice to say things aren't looking rosy on any end. And I'm feeling awfully, awfully, left out of the loop.
