¿A dónde podría alejarme de tu Espíritu?¿A dónde podría huir de tu presencia? o me estableciera en los extremos del mar, aun allí tu mano me guiaría, ¡me sostendría tu mano derecha!
meaning:
Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
Ok, No offence to many of you out there. But as Obama tries to reform the m
edical welfare system people protest because they don’t want to help others then them selves!!, let me elaborate… In a debate yesterday in Wheeling, West Virginia. A woman carefully asked if they please could hurry up with the reform so that her daughter could be helped with her rheumatism since at the moment there was no way of paying for it. The response came quick… A man in a shirt stood up and said loud and clear: why should I pay for your daughter? Well there you have it people, the actual American reason for protesting against the reform… The product of a Supercapitalistic society. As soon as ones tax money helps other people people shout out Communism and Socialism as if they knew the meaning of these words!… is equality for all wrong? I call it Welfare. In Sweden we have a higher tax which everyone is willing to pay because we care for the less fortunate in our nation… as a matter of fact we have the best welfare in the world because of this… are we Communists now suddenly.. No definitely not! Maybee Obama sees the countries with the best welfare in the world and believes America has something to learn… who knows!
Yesterday when leaving for the train I found myself answering my friend “No, I am not in a hurry ’cause I don’t know what time it is!”
hehe, After 10 seconds I realized what I just said and thought hey, that is just so confusingly true! Yet again I found out ignorance can surely be a bless.
So latest from the world of football is that several people have kicked from the Iranian football team for life merely because they showed their support for Hossein Mousavi and the green revolution by wearing green wristbands in their game against South Korea. Some say football and politics don’t go together, I say everything is politics, espesially football! The fact that the Fifa world cup unites the planet in a huge sport event next year in South Africa is so much politics. The country has to think of their reputation before this event could ever occur… So did China last year when they hosted the Olympic Games … unfortunately they totally blew it because of what happened in Tibet. Just wish every football player representing a country could wear green just to show the Iranian people that they are not alone in their struggle… and to show their leaders that they suck big time… yes they suck! sucksucksuck … suck!
Now interesting enough Fifa have contacted the opposition in Iran to ask what the heck is going on… as the rest of us asks… GO FIFA =) I mean what is next … maybe Ahmadinejad will forbid football totally because the grass they play happens to be green… yeah then he will issue a law killing all green frogs and forbid people from eating salad. ajajaj!!
The election in Iran has taken my attention totally these last days. There was such a big hope, feast and joy as millions of people went to vote and fulfill their democratic right a couple of days ago, but it has all turned into a chaos by people feeling they have the right to beat down others of different opinion.. others who peacefully demonstrated against what they believe has been has been a rigged election. My thoughts go to all you in Iran who believe and hope for a more free and liberal country where people actually can choose the path of their own life for them selves and not have it forced upon them. I am going to wear green tomorrow and these coming days to show my support for your people and Hossein Mousavi.
Although it is possible that the greater majority of people who after all are not educated, not living in the big cities and are far from liberal voted for Ahmadinejad and thereby made his victory… lets not forget this man denies the holocaust, speaks of a total destruction of Israel, and has kept his country closed from the outer world. This once great nation sure needs some kind of revolution to get back on its feet… something this election no matter the outcome sure has started.
Good morning friends. Just woke up and am leaving to work in a couple of minutes as I will do this entire summer. Had a discussion the other day about the christian fear of one day having a chip installed somewhere into the body which supposedly would have the number 666!!! (Rev 13:16-18). Personally I don’t believe in this because it strides against so many other christian principles… that Christ within me is so much greater than whatever is is in the world… that the only fight is against the spiritual principalities which in turn are sooooooooooooo waek compared to the God who is on our side. So no I dont fear issues or things that is to come, but will live by God in the world and use whatever tools to Glorify God…. even a chip which would be quite cool!
Just got an email from Mum where she brought up some quotes from Kris Vallotton…
Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it’s about thinking about yourself, less.
You only have as much influence in a person’s life as they have value for you.
You’re not what you think you are; you’re not what others think you are; you become what the most important person in your life thinks you are.
God doesn’t hide things from us, but for us. (1 Cor 2)
Unforgiveness tethers you to the past and undermines your destiny.
Physical obedience produces spiritual release.
God’s love for all is equal, but he has levels of favor (Jesus increased in favor with man & God).
If you believe you’re a sinner, you’ll sin by faith.
It’s hard to live with sin in your life if you’re accustomed to living without it.
You can’t sin by mistake. Sin is a willful act of what you know to be wrong.
It was AMAZING! seeing 18000 people in the city declaring their faith in Jesus Christ. Time has come to brake down barriers between the baptists orthodox, protestants, catholics, the Swedish traditional church and all other free-churches and unite in what we have in Common, namely Jesus. This was done today when the radical united with the stiff and the born again with the traditionalist… haha. Or as The interview in the Swedish newspaper says:
- Well, I don’t agree with the theology from some churches, but today we lay it all aside and concentrate on what we have in common.
People wonder… why!?!? why on earth do you gather 18000 people to sing some songs and listening to some speakers. Well the reason is simple; to glorify Jesus (anyone who’s not a believer can have a hard time understanding this one) so try for a sec imagining he was there, alive and well… that maybe you can grasp the simplicity of doing this and much more for the saviour of the world.
Other secondary reasons are: to encourage each others as Christians by standing united, showing Sweden that there are a whole bunch of crazy believers following someone who was believed to be even crazier, and well to get a nice time in the sun with some friends!
Dad you did a great Job organizing this event. -peace
Just had an amazing day at work where I was in the sun all day chillin with the kids. For Lunch we ate Kebab, and I was able to take home some leftovers. Or some… I mean a bucket, a bucket kebab people!! Its all in my fridge now waiting for me to consume it.
Also had a fabulous time of worship practise and this Easter Sunday is going to be amazing! For anyone not going to any church, give it a chance this Easter. I am not the religious-hallelujah-type as you all know, but what Jesus did on the cross has managed to touch me deep inside again for the first time in a long while now. So full of expectations New Life 11 am !!
Just saw an episode of ‘Legend of the seeker’ and I know it sounds stupid, but here Bob goes quoting again!!!
So anyways in the story a good guy suddenly gets a bad spell on him which makes him kill people. But when the spell is gone he realized what he had done, regretted it but recognized that there was as real anger inside him that came out without control. So he told this to the wise wizard who said:
You are a man, not a statue. We all have dark desires and yearnings of vengeance. You
must remember how those feelings stirred your blood, because what marks the sign of good and evil is the choice not to act on them, choices we have to make every day.
meaning, you can not blame the feelings inside or the circumstances around, because to power of your will (choice to act) is stronger than the other parts. which is why you are responsible and accountable for what you do!
Amenish
A song by Dolly Parton.
‘Somethin’ lifting me upSomethin’ holding me down
Somethin’ to give me wings and keep my feet on the ground
I’ve got all I need, Jesus and gravity’ white text
Bob are you seriously quoting from Dolly ?!?!. Yes I surely am, and although she looks like someone who… well lets not get there! Anyways… I must truly say, without being the slightest ashamed, she is one of the greatest singers ever. This one song reminds me so much how we as Christians can get carried away, living in our christian bubble and forget the view of people who don’t live close to God… hence never are able to connect and relate to them. But also how our anti charismatic spirit (especially here in Sweden) brings us away from his closeness and his endeavour to reach our hearts.
So, maybee Dolly has a point here, we all need Jesus and gravity. Or in my words we all need a glass communion wine and a glass chardonnay (yes I actually just made that up, man I am clever!)
So what has happened the last days… As you all have noticed I am not much of a personal-blog writer because I don’t like the idea of getting my personal life exposed to anyone who wants to take a peek… there are even times when I believe it is just so wrong! then again I guess everyone has the sudden urge to let it all out… Luckily I am definitely not one of those sad sad sad depressing insecure few… who probably sits with their laptop, watching drama movies which reminds them of their traumatic childhood… And then just has to write it all down in their pity-blog, so that everybody can read what an sad sad sad dump one has newly become! … thank God =)
Where was I … oh yeah, lets return to my first question… The last days I have been working, watching four seasons of scrubs, served at a wedding, fake-strangeling som kids, almost bought an iphone, wondering why people with short hair looks more mean and buff, commenced on a new book about the maffia, joined the red cross and planning on what to do next semester… there
Have a great day peeps
Ah, another week has passed by, goals have been reached and new ones set up. As it is now I am working without any specific plan for what to come. You know, things just float by and though I am standing still the escalator moves me towards no planned goal at all. I mean things around happen; brother is getting married, niece is growing up, got a nice TV, Lalehs new record came out, work goes fine and well… lest just say the escalator takes life somewhere without me having to lift a finger! So I have thought out a crazy plan. What would you say If I just vanished from Sweden for 2 years… to work at an orphanage somewhere in Uganda or Vietnam or the Philippines… (anywhere warm!) … but Bob why in the world?!?!? … well,merely because I can I guess! The only thing that stops me is the thought, what would I do after that?… but that issue will always be there so! planning will go on and we will see what happens, as long as I am not stuck in this God forsaken comfort-zone!… do I hear an Amen!
Talked with some friends earlier today about ownership of airspace… you know like the airspace above sweden belongs to Sweden!… question is how high up does it still belong to Sweden, is there a limit?.. otherwise when the moon is above Sweden, technically we would own the moon! And those few minutes the moon is ours we can do absolute anything we want with it… !!
Apperently Russia dived under the artic ice and put their flag under the artic cirkel on the bottom of the sea there. So when the whole thing melts… they will probably claim that ocean for themselves. … !
Ok this irritates me, but the Swedish media still calls this city Bombay… why its real name today is Mumbai. They changed a couple of years ago (1996) because Bombay was the name given by the British empire, India felt like making it their own! SVD (the Swedish newspaper says they don’t call it Mumbai for the same reason you don’t call Copenhagen; København. But the difference is that København is Danish, Mumbai is not… its … International! …stupid stupid stupid ARGH! OK so its late and I am blogging about stupid things which irritate me… you know what else, I don’t like Kiwis, its a disgusting fruit! Morr
