Warwicks Birthday-Party Day was today so at 2:50pm i was rushing to reinstall the cd cover design maker on my computer (became unfunctional after the virus attack about a week ago) and after realising i wasn't even sure what to put on the cover and i could no longer remember the songs i had put on the cd i just made a quick background and gave the cd a title. "Warwick; the big 30" (it didn't seem very appropriate because there are only 18 songs on the cd). But i was already running late, and after getting stuck behind a cyclist at the bottom of the hill i thought i would turn up as people began to leave, however i chose not to beep at the cyclist and let them go in there own time. After getting to the party at Rebecca's Mother's house i realised i was one of the first guests anyway so my lateness was not duly noted. (Phew) After i thought the party was wrapping up i decided to go home, so i went home and chatted to my Great Aunty and Uncle whilst i ate a quick dinner. I listened to a good Barry White song "You're the first, the last, my everything" and stood open mouthed when my dad told me he had never heard of barry white. Sometimes i wonder what he did for his teenage years, i mean music is half my life and i'm no muso. If i can tell him who a 70s singer is then one of us has problems. I'll give him that i can't tell him half of those classical singers. Pavaroti, puchhini, umm..that dame lady...yea names like that. I do try. Anyway, i went for a drive around the port hills and then went back to Rebecca's mum's house to find guests were still around so we re-entered and i gave Warwick a second gift (as i felt inclined to) which i sure he shall treasure 'till the day he dies. :) won't you Warwick ;)
Anyway, i sit here on Msn Messenger tonight and one of my friends has changed his display name to "..Lord, I prey for the freedom of all peoples"
sure the text was misspelled but if you re-read the text without correcting the mistake it reads differently. He may not have intended to do so (infact he certainly didn't, as i asked him) but it is now read as a prayer of statement rather than want. He no longer prays for the frredom but states he preys for it. He seeks it, searches after it. He gets out into the world and fights to have it. He may not actually do this, but then again maybe he does. Subconsciously he lives a life where he, if put into a situation where he was faced with having a choice over the freedom of another, would say 'Enough is enough, let God's people go'
God's people? yes even those who donot acknowledge their father. They are still His people until the very end of their mortal lives because until that time they still have a choice of whether to accept the offer that Jesus has spread his arms to give. I think it's a good name, and it really finishes of a brilliant day. I hope others have had brilliant, shining days too.
