i'm officially down with flu and my ears are further blocked (people, talk louder when you see me), my tongue can hardly taste and my nose is now a leaking tap. ARGH. nvm, at least i'm not going to allow myself to be reduced to a weakling. i can still run, walk, talk, laugh, gaze at the sunshine.. i'm fortunate. its only a flu so i wont complain! =)
got this from a book -
Reaching for An Invisible God by Philip Yancey. he's getting to be one of my fav Christian authors.
"One of John Donne's Holy Sonnets contains the mysterious line, 'Churches are best for prayer, that have least light.' The phrase can be taken several ways, the most literal referring to cathedrals lit only by candles. Given Donne's own harrowing history with the church, though, most readers see a further meaning: Churches that leave room for mystery, that do not pretend to spell out what God himself has not spelt out, create an environment most conducive to worship. After all, we lean on God our of need, not out of surplus.
Why then, do so many churches strive to appear bright and well-lit?"
every day is a new day ♥
