Hey Guys.
Its funny how the year is almost finished.
What has become of 2006?
Another Year, Another Dollar? (haha, thats about as much as i've saved in this whole process!!)
no... what have we learnt kids?
That ....
1) Money cant buy happiness
2) Life is too short
3) Make the most of your opportunities
4) Love those around you... even the unloveable... because you dont know when you'll see them next
5) Carpe Diem (seize the day!)
Ok, i may have just rambled the most cliched of quotes... but i genuinely believe them..... Life is too short to not have fun... Enjoy it!! most things are forgotten the next day... i've noticed people's memories are quite short (including my own... except if i went to school with you... or have met you... because i always remember who you are!! hahaha BEWARE)
Have a ponder as we wrap up the year... not just to look forward to 'the year being over'... i genuinely believe there is a better way to 'handle' the difficult in life... and often the most frustrating of things such as 'life'...
perhaps its prayer, perhaps its meditation... but where do you draw your strength? your resolve?..... within?? sometimes that works... but sometimes it doesnt... its very very fleeting... and moody!! (i dont know about you, but my moods can change greatly without much notice!!)....
so where do i get all this energy one asks???????? Why have i been getting up early even though i went out til 3am??
I for some mysterious reason think that its all Divine Intervention.... hmmm Yes... that 3 letter word to describe the most awesome of inexplicable... God.
I dont know what you believe about God... and i do care to know!! But what i know... I know to be true... and i live my life by his truth... which is found in the Holy Bible.
Man, i dont mean to sound preachy... but i guess its not completely bogus... afterall... WHAT IS CHRISTMAS??? Its the birth of JC... the MAN himself!! Come down, born of the virgin Mary (blah blah)... but heck... have you thought about what that actually means??
WHAT ARE CAROLS? They are singing of all this stuff!!!!!
Ok. So there are my 2 cents... I'll be interested to see what you guys think about this stuff... regardless of your religious b/ground... everyone has an opinion... whether you're jewish, chinese, buddhist, a travelling salesman or a tuck shop lady... we're all human!! we all have needs!! and well... JC promises that all these 'needs' will be met... JUST FOR YOU.... Thats why he was born and came down.... I wont talk about Easter, but thats a whole nother kettle of fish!!
Reflections for the day... (its cabin fever... Brisvegas is an hour behind... so its technically 5:55am QLD time!! ahhhhh why so early hey? again... divine intervention)
WHA!!!??
Im so tired... but happy i got to drive yet again... the 'Gold Nissan Tiida'... in the Gold Coast...
I got in so freakin early yesterday at GC airport... i managed to hang out and (think deep thoughts... haha ... yes, Van does think beyond the fun and the frivolity)... This beach.... Palm Beach... was so nice to sit and reflect... (i recommend 'private' hang time... with the Almighty on occasion... very refreshing!)
There is something about the water that makes me so relaxed... at peace... and so small.... God made... THIS?!
and this!!
and this!
and this!! (poster of damo found at Robina Music Store (GC/Qld)
Spinout-- Damo was going to be at ROBINA shopping centre y.day arvo after i was there!! He's following me!!!! hahah.... GO DAMO!!! Should have hung around to get an autograph... haha
(i can just ask Lou via his Wife Eileen i'm sure! :P) What a STAR!
This bumper sticker says: " With God, ALL THINGS are PoSSIBLE!" Matthew 19:26 I parked behind this car yesterday... its your usual cheezy/ slightly ugly technicolour quintessential 'christian bumper sticker'... but the message rings true.
Do i hear an AMEN?
(Amen)
Hallelujah!
haha
peace out folks :D

thanks Sal-Lee... i'm glad you left a comment on my 'deep' blog entry for this week!! Who would ever thought it would make it on my blog? :p
Well said my friend. I can’t believe that the years is almost over and after the many things that have come and gone and reappeared ....well in my life…I think how could I question the existence of God...at least in my shoes...
But hey …we’ve made it through another year ...thru the good and bad and undoubtingly it will get worse and we will need to draw from that strength again.
