and also, my deepest apologies for this... incredibly late post
and yes, your email to p. gary was read out to the whole service :)
many were inspired
go xue!
hmmm, alot to say, to alot of people
I'm burdened
"...I raised my hands and i told God that i wanted to carry a burden for him. And as I did, i actually felt the muscles in my shoulders tensing."

Although I never recorded it down, God did reply me. I told him 'Lord, I want to carry your burden.'
He replied 'my dear, dear son, you should know this is not an easy burden to carry. even in your years in ignyte, you will face great challenges. I say to you again, do you want to carry this burden.'
'Yes, I do Lord'
and thats when the whole shoulder tensing pain happened
but that, that was physical pain
now I see more of what God meant
I'm gone through some of it, yet I know theres so much more to come
a minor leadership position in RGB
a leadership position in the prayer group in school
a learning leadership position in the cell group
plus all the other things I'm not supposed to tell
hmmm, poem
shall touch on the whole red pill blue pill-ness of matrix
inspired by the commonwealth essay written by joelle yong
and written in honour of xue er :P
oh yes! but first
A Blade Of Grassby Brian Patten
You ask for a poem.
I offer you a blade of grass.
You say it is not good enough.
You ask for a poem.
I say this blade of grass will do.
It has dressed itself in frost,
It is more immediate
Than any image of my making.
You say it is not a poem,
It is a blade of grass and grass
Is not quite good enough.
I offer you a blade of grass.
You are indignant.
You say it is too easy to offer grass.
It is absurd.
Anyone can offer a blade of grass.
You ask for a poem.
And so I write you a tragedy about
How a blade of grass
Becomes more and more difficult to offer,
And about how as you grow older
A blade of grass
Becomes more difficult to accept.
heh, funny poem
now, my own
Pillblue
well thats not fair
to walk away
simply because one
decided to stray
well thats not fair
to turn away
because the road ahead
is a darker grey
red
well thats not fair
to make me stay
well, I haven't
said okay
well thats not fair
to make me stay
I'll have no time
to go out and play
never content?
yea, thats it
more thought provoking then I intended it to
oh wow
dang, it didn't come out the way I wanted it to
nevermind
I'll do one of those "write 10 things to 10 people but don't reveal who" soon
its fun being the one who's always there
even if it is tiring
sometimes I guess I need someone to be there for me
I'm lucky I have my God :D
