No one else but HIM...

I finally had the good chance to update my blogsite. I was not really caught up with much things to do these past few days (just went to my part-time work last Monday and yesterday), but, it's just that I was not in the good temperament to write. :-)

Anyways, do you hear what the world is speaking nowadays? My husband and I talked about this last night. He thought that we're now living amidst the realm of awful events & people. Murders, prostitution, drunkenness, illegal drugs, wars, terrible family feuds, greed for money, crave for fame, hunger for authority, bad speech and all other kinds of exploitation, corruption and out of control actions are already scattered every corner of the world. Media is more concerned of what a person can do evilly than acknowledging and grasping a more sensible empowering stories that will enrich people's mind and behavior. Absurd and scarry as it may sound but we cannot escape from what's going on. These are truly manifestations of 2 realities: first, disbelief & lack of love to our one true God and second of all, that Jesus is coming back very very soon as what the Holy Bible has transparently told us. Nonetheless, these ghastly things that have been happening so rampantly should not consume us to losing hope but instead, should be a heads-up that we need to repent, go back to Jesus, strongly believe in Him, surrender our lives to Him and just allow ourselves to be embraced by Him so we will walk life with faith, peace, joy, victory, honor & rejoicing as we await His coming. There is no other remedy for all
these wickedness but JESUS CHRIST, Son of our God. Let us all shout out loud that we are wired in our belief that no one else can heal our land, but HIM.

Have a serene yet enjoyable weekend to all of us! :-)

It's anybody's game...

Football...Does this sport interest you? Tell you what, it actually confused & bored me when I first watched it. I really wondered why my hubby enjoys watching it when all I see in the field are just players tackling one another, running the ball and kicking or punting it off back and forth. Gee! Whatta lousy game I've ever watched in my whole life, I thought. However, when hubby explained to me its rules and mechanics, believe it or not, I started grasping the passion of watching it every Sunday. Eventually, I came to love it more than my husband does! In fact, not just I became a fan of it, but, a huge and avid fan. Funny, isn't it? hehehe

Last night was the NFC championship played between Green Bay Packers and New York Giants. Hubby made a pot of delicious chilli ,which is by the way the best chilli in the whole world, and grilled yummy Grillmaster Harty Beef hotdogs by Ball Park! It's fun because for us, it can never be a good football sunday if we don't prepare football food to eat. hehehe. So anyway, it was such a very good and great game. Both teams really played well & gave their best shot. It was actually an interesting close fight that extented to an overtime period. A mix of thrill, tension and excitement were felt by every fan of each team. Different commotions of the people in the stadium are loudly heard that I couldn't even take my eyes off of the televesion. I felt like I was personally there too. Sounds absurd, huh? hehehe. Anyhow, in the overtime, the Packers won the deciding throw of coin so they had the possession of the ball and that means they had the edge of winning the game. Nevertheless, a big twist all of the sudden happened, Packers lost the football by interception and gave Giants the chance to move it towards their goal. So, right down to the wire, least expected, Giants won by 3 points. Hurting to the Packers because they were almost there to be the champions yet Giants deserved the win because in all fairness, they really played so well that night. This phenomenal victory indeed astound the country because Green Bay was the awaited team to head to the SuperBowl but who the heck can predict & conclude when in fact, it is always anybody's game, right?

Well, you know what? I was not really rooting for the New York Giants. I just gave them credits for the job well done.

FYI, if you care, Giants face-off against the New England Patriots in the SuperBowl will be this coming February 3, 2008. Ummm, I guess, I am gonna root for the Patriots. :-) **wink**
