Godly Sorrow

July 13, 2008

For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. (2 Corinthians 7:10)

There is a difference between worldly sorrow and godly sorrow, though both are deeply felt. You can feel genuine sorrow over something you have done. Your mind can become consumed with your failure and offense against God and others. Judas felt this kind of sorrow. He betrayed the Son of God for thirty pieces of silver, the standard price of a slave. Yet his sorrow did not lead him to repent and to seek restoration with his fellow disciples, but rather to a lonely field where, in his anguish, he took his own life (Matt. 27:3–5). Judas carried his sorrow to his grave.

Books Have A Cause

July 11, 2008

There is a book for everyone and once in a while, we happen to read a book that changes our life and our perspective for the better. A book that encourages us to go on when we think things are getting tough, a book that inspires us to continue dreaming despite all the disappointments that came our way. What book made that kind of difference in your life?

In my case, Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist boosted my spirit during the time I was feeling lost. It inspired me to seek for my own personal legend and trust the universe to pave the right way for me. It taught me that the real treasure is not all about finding precious jewels and gold but enriching yourself with life experiences that makes you a better person.

At first, you might think of his concepts a little like New Age teachings. However, the best-selling of all books itself taught that God gives the desires of the person He finds delight (Psalm 37:4) and that He causes all things to work together for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28).

A Good Reason To Go For LCDs

July 8, 2008

A CRT monitor consumes an average power of 140W during operation and 15W when idle. On the other hand, an LCD monitor consumes 55W and 2W only during working and idle operation, respectively. Clearly, a CRT is bad news for those trying to lessen their power usage.

Good thing is that an lcd monitor is more affordable these days compared to three years ago. Back then, this things costs around PhP15,000 and so people on a budget logically picks a CRT. Now, manufacturers have managed to slash down the price to half.

So if you are on a quest of saving the earth by going environmental friendly, go grab for yourself an LCD monitor.

Unwanted

July 8, 2008

Ewan ko ba. Bakit ba may mga taong sadyang manhid.

Pasensya na at hindi ko lang mapigil ang inis na nararamdaman ko. Ako yung tipo ng tao na kayang magpaubaya at magparaya. Huwag mo lang talagang masasaling ang aking ina. I tend to despise anything and anyone that becomes a discomfort to mom.

Walang bigat sa akin ang salitang kamag-anak. A relative doesn’t automatically become a member of my family. I place more value to people I’ve chosen to be a part of my family instead of those who automatically became one by chance. Blood is thicker than water is only always true in fluid mechanics.

I just wish that dad will have the balls to sort this out. Otherwise, I will handle this matter in my own hands.

Naruto Manga 407: Message Decoded!

July 7, 2008

Naruto Manga Chapter 407: To Naruto. As the decoding effort continues in the cryptography unit of the Hidden Leaf Village, Shikamaru is growing a little impatient with Naruto who has been looking at the coded message yet is saying nothing the whole time. It was then that he blurted out that it is because he is puzzled why, despite all the numbers, the message started with a katana “ta” character which everyone have mistaken for the number 9. Only Naruto managed to notice this from all those times Jiraiya made him read his handwritten drafts for the past three years. From this development, they figured that Jiraiya’s message could be in a line number, word markers, or pages of any of his written books.

With Kakashi’s suggestion, they looked in to the Come Come Tactics, the book Jiraiya was writing when he was training Naruto. From it, they manage to decode a message saying, “The real one isn’t with them.” They decided to consult it with Fukusaku-sama to see if it’ll make sense to him.

Elsewhere, the six-person Pain prepares to attack the leaf to capture the nine-tail beast.

Return to God

July 6, 2008

Thus says the LORD of hosts: “Return to Me,” says the LORD of hosts, “and I will return to you,” Zechariah 1:3 (NKJV)

God places much of the burden of what we will become on our response to Him. If we have drifted from God, His call is to return to Him. God promises that if we will return, He will immediately renew His relationship with us. James 4:8 promises that if we draw near to God, He will draw near to us. Matthew 7:7 guarantees that if we seek Christ, we will find Him. Much of the Christian life rests upon our response and our desire to experience God to the fullest.
