Salt of the Earth

A Sprinkle of Salt

I promised myself just this week that I'd make more of an effort to blog so am gonna write something short today. I was reading Our Daily Bread today and found the following rather amusing yet true. Have a read:

As the “salt of the earth,” Christians can make others thirsty for the Water of Life.

We should realise that all of us are examples in life no matter what our beliefs are. What we say, how we act and what we do reflect who we are on the inside and inevitably influences others to become better people or to just give in and follow norms that may not necessarily be right. The wrong thing does not become right just because everyone is doing it.

The danger about being liberal is that everything is left to opinion and there is no absolute truth While I agree that there are areas of life that are in shades of grey; we still need the blacks & the whites. Without black or white how would we know what's right & what's wrong, what's good & what's bad?

Think about it.

Superheroic Strawberry Milk Splashes

Even Superheroes Drink Milk

Superheros & milk! Who would've thought?! I love the U.S. "Got Milk" ads and according to them my fav superheroes drink milk too! Sure they don't love the strawberry-flavoured delight that I'm into but anything that gets kids drinking milk is really awesome stuff in my opinion. I don't drink milk just cos' it's nutritious, I drink milk cos' I like it!

My mom told me I stopped drinking milk at a young age but I figure that's cos' I never got to taste the delicious taste of strawberry in my bovine-sourced supplement. Then there came along chocolate flavoured milk courtesy of the milk programme that the government sponsored in schools. I drank those but never really got into them. I can't remember when exactly I tasted my first sip of strawberry milk but suffice to say I'm hooked!

A Splash of Pink to Start The Day Off

Mua ha ha ha ha! I love milk and milk definitely loves me back. I love milk in the mornings and I love milk when I need thirst-quencher. Not the plain kinda milk but the sweet flavoured type. Most notably the pink delight that is strawberry milk. I don't care if I get teased by my colleagues, I don't care if people scoff at my love for this deliciously flavoured combo that tickles my taste buds ... I love strawberry milk! Nuff' said.

My Fav Strawberry Delight

Ahhhh ... all that talk of strawberry milk's gotten me thirsty. Time to pop open the fridge and get one of my two models out for a date. Strawberry milk, you gotta love it! *sighs happily*.

In Support Of:

Deep Down Knowing

John 17:25-26
"Righteous Father, though the world does not know You, I know You, and they know that You have sent me. I have made You known to them, and will continue to make You known in order that the love You have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them."

What an awesome, awesome prayer by Jesus for us. I am increasingly growing to understand just how important it is to have a deep, down knowledge of God in my life. Reading the Bible has become more than just finding something I can apply or a promise I can claim but more importantly it's peering beyond the veil and finding out what my Father's heart is.

I struggle with loneliness & acceptance as much as anyone else but as the days go by I am very thankful that I am coming to a deeper knowledge of God's love for me and it is a lot easier to fill that emptiness with God's Presence? How do I know that I am experiencing God? Well, experientially for me there's this sense of calm & peace that just permeates my being as I talk to Him & read the Word every day. There's this sense that He's there and I suppose that's what I mean by having that deep, down knowledge of God.

I remember purposing a long time ago that I'd make this blog something more neutral but I realise that who we are eventually emerges no matter how much we try suppress it. While I love writing about movies, video games & comic books - I end up writing more about faith than anything. Life matters more to me and if my experiences with God can help others, why not write about it?

I'm not all holy, I'm just like any other person in the world and I'm just like any other Christian who struggles to live my life real - pleasing to the One who made me.
