the wii challenge
its amazing how quickly a year can go by. my last blog turns a year old! haha feeling lots of different emotions as the year draw to a close. another chapter of my life, another page in this book. lots oh happy memories, lots of disappointing ones. things that makes me leap with joy and things that bear me down. it has all been written and can never be altered. for better or worse its my history now.
those who hear me often these couple of days speaking as not having that particular christmas-ey feeling this year. for some reason it didn't feel very celebratory. yes, people still give gifts and presents, people still say to each other blessed christmas, but something this year is different. maybe its the different events of this year, the relationships with friend (or lack thereof). every one seems busy. at what exactly, i don't know. i find myself busy too, ministry, church. there is far too many things to do, could be done.
maybe its the busyness that draws the focus of this season away, from the magnificent gift of life through the coming of our saviour thousands of years ago. it could be. but what exactly is it, i don't know.
yesterday, we were at alvin's place for a ForeRunner christmas party. It was fun! good food, good company, and my first wii session. now if you know wii, you know it has some pretty interesting games. like tennis, bowling, boxing, ratatoulie. haha though not so easy to play the last one. But as i was playing boxing with manson, i felt my arms getting really tired, achy and just without much strength to pull the punch with the intensity as i would have desired. "oh but how much i wanna tear at the opponent. maybe a better block and then i'll throw a faster punch into mid air." i don't know why, but it kinda reminds of 1 Corinthians 9:26 where paul discribed runnning, but not without aim and boxing, as not beating the air.
anyways, have a good Christmas everyone! be glad and reminded of the grace you've received as your gift this season. and the mercy you have been shown. Blessed Christmas!
