was at blogskins.com looking around.
and i came upon this skin.
it wasn't that fantastic.
it wasn't that eye-catching.
but the thing that matters,
is this poem right here.

We rode into town the other day
Just me and my daddy
He said I'd finally reached that age
And I could ride next to him on a horse
That of course was not quite as wide

We heard a crowd of people shouting
And so we stopped to find out why
And there was that man that my dad said he loved
But today there was fear in his eyes

So I said "Daddy why are they screaming?
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why is he dressed in that bright purple robe?
I'll bet that crown hurts him more than he shows
Daddy please can't you do something?
You said he was stronger than all of those guys
Daddy please tell me why?
Why does everyone wants him to die?"

Later that day the sky grew cloudy
And daddy said I should go inside
Somehow he knew things would get stormy
Boy was he right
But i could not keep from wondering
If there was something he had to hide
So after he left I had to find out
I was not afraid of getting lost
So i followed the crowds
To a hill where I knew men had been killed
And I heard a voice come from the cross

And it said "Father why are they screaming?
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why are they casting their lots for my clothes?
This crown of thorns hurts me more than it shows
Father please can't You do something?
I know that You must hear my cries
I thought I could handle a cross of this size
Father remind me why?
Why does everyone wants me to die?
When will i understand why?"

"My precious Son
I hear them screaming
I'm watching the faces of the enemies beaming
But soon I will clothe you in robes of My own
Jesus this hurts me much more than you know
But this dark hour
I must do nothing
Though I've heard your unbearable cries
The power in your blood
Destroys all of the lies
Soon you'll see past their unmerciful lies
Look there below
See the child
Trembling by her father's side
Now I can tell you why
She is why you must die"

i still couldn't get over the amazing-ness of it all.
was attending the miracle service yesterday,
and pastor pacer was talking about the fall of man and the grace of the Lord.
he asked this particular question that impacted me so greatly
and all i could remember of the service was this:
How did God feel when man sin?
all along we've been (or rather i've been) doing:
ah crap. i've sinned and now i have to confess and pray that He will forgive me thanks to the blood of Jesus, or oops i did something wrong and i need to repent etc.
it was all about me, us, never about Him.
it felt like you didn't do your homework and the teacher gave you that face and maybe scold for a little bit then let you go that kind of thing.
hell no. and i got my prayer answered today.

after the 9am service,
i just had this urge to attend speedlight for like after a super long time of not attending.
and pastor pacer talked about the book of Hosea.
it goes something like God ordered Hosea to take a prostitute as wife.
he did just that, cause it's like hey, God ordered you to. can't possibly say no right.
[would you have wanted that as your calling?
that one day, God came to you and say: you are to marry an unfaithful partner because that is what I have planned for you? no way any of us would have wanted to be in Hosea's shoes]
but for the first couple of years, Hosea was actually quite happy.
they had 3 children, his wife didn't leave him and he loved her.
then came one day that the wife actually said that she will leave him and the family,
go to her lovers because only they could provide her the finer things in life.
devastated as he was, God ordered Hosea to actually buy back his wife.
it's like you go up to the prostitute and redeem her kind of thing.
have you realised the answer to the question at this point in time?

how God felt, was the same as when Gomer (Hosea's wife) cheated on him and then left him.
imagine your own wife/husband sleeping around with other people
and you had to sacrifice your pride, money, everything, to get her/him back?
most of us would think:
ewk. she cheated on me! why would i want her back?
but hey. that's exactly what God did.
we turned our backs against Him, worship other things instead of Him.
it's the same as loving other people instead of your own husband.
and then He had to sacrifice his only Son, to buy us back.
yes, it's crazy, but that just goes to show how much He loves us,
(hello! wake up people! He killed his one and only Son, the only person who is pure, in exchange for us who are sinners, unfaithful, unloving, and basically don't give a crap about Him? i say:
there is no greater love than that.)

by the way, Gomer ended up loving Hosea, because he loved her.
just as how we love God, because He first loves us. (:

well, pastor pacer mentioned something about being filled with immense joy so much that we would actually burst after we know of this truth.
but all i felt was guilt.
if he meant being all snotty and teary-faced
then yes, i felt the "joy".

so many accidents today. lol.
was at mensa1 today,
and the guy at the next table dropped his phone onto his plate.
best part was that the phone landed right on top of the curry sauce.
a whole lot of them.
after jo left for her job interview,
it was sher's turn to drop her phone onto her plate.
then hx actually fell onto the floor.
no idea what happened but one moment i was carrying my bag ready to stand up,
next moment i turn and saw hx sitting perfectly on the floor like some model posing plus milo spilt over her.
awesome. xD

went to tampines library with belle and jazreel.
suppose to look for books with regard to the jap show&tell.
but nlb has no collection on asimo or humanoid robots other than the occasional astro boy and gundam.
so ended up at sengkang library and finished half of my p1 draft,
read through my otcm lecture for tomorrow's tutorial
and thinking of a draft post for geog.
notice that it's "thinking" and not "doing".
hais. i'm good at procrastinating.

a random note:

otcm is fun and all,
ya know, like you get to know more about drugs and medications.
i was doing the tutorial just now,
and it was all very easy to copy from the notes word by word.
but nothing goes inside the head.
you get things like paracetamol (which is the active ingredient for panadol but here we don't remember the brand names but the ingredients) and 7-chloro-1, 3-dihydro-1-methyl-5-phenyl-2H-1, 4-benzadiazepin-2-one (took me 5 minutes to copy from the notes).
i wonder how am i gonna survive the testsss.
and project briefing is tomorrow.

[i'm getting old.]
