WHAT GIFT WILL YOU GIVE?

Dear loved ones,

As you well know, we are getting closer to my birthday. Every year there is a celebration in my honour and i think that this year the celebration will be repeated. During this time, there are many people shopping for gifts, there are many radio announcements, TV commercials, and in every part of the world everyone is talking that my birthday is getting closer and closer.

It is really very nice to know, that at least once a year, some people think of me. As you know, the celebration of my birthday began many years ago. At first people seemed to understand and be thankful of all that i did for them, but in these times, no one seems to know the reason for the celebration. Family and friends get together and have a lot of fun, but they dont know the meaning of the celebration.

I remember that last year there was a great feast in my honour. The dinner table was full of delicious foods, turkey, honey baked ham, assorted nuts and log cakes. The decorations were exquisite and there were many, many beautifully wrapped gifts. But, do you want to know something? I wasn't invited. I was the guest of honour and they didn't remember to send me an invitation. The party was for me, but when that great day came, i was left outside, they closed the door in my face... and i wanted to be with them and share their table.

In truth, that didn't surprise me because in the last few years they all closed their doors to me. Since i wasn't invited, i decided to enter the party without making any noise. I went in and stood in a corner. They were all drinking; there were some who were drunk and telling jokes and laughing at everything. They were having a grand time! To top it all, this big fat man all dressed in red wearing a long white beard entered thhe room yelling Ho-Ho-Ho! He seemed drunk. He sat on the sofa and all the children ran to him saying: "Santa Claus, Santa Claus" ... as if the party were in his honour!

At 12 midnight all the people began to hug each other; i extended my arms waiting for someone to hug me and, do you know, no one did. Suddenly they all began to share gifts. They opened them one by one with great expectation. When all was opened, i looked to see if, maybe, there was one for me. But there was none left.

How would you feel if on your birthday everybody shared gifts and you did not get one? i then understood that i was unwanted at that party and quietly left.

Every year it gets worse. People only remember to eat and drink, the gifts, the parties and nobody remembers me. I would like this Christmas that you allow me to enter into your life. I would like that you recognize the fact that almost two thousand years ago i came into this world to give my life for you, on the cross, to save you. Today, i only want that you believe this with all your heart.

I want to share something with you. As many didn't invite me to their party, i will have my own celebration, a grand party that no one has every imagined, a spectacular party. I'm still making the final arrangements. Today i am sending out many invitations and there is an invitation for you. I want to know if you wish to attend and i will make a reservation for you and write your name with golden latters in my great guest book. Only those on the guest list will be invited to the party. Those who don't answer to invite, will be left outside.

Be prepared because when all is ready you will bw part of my great party.


I love you!
Jesus

MY HANDS ARE SMALL SO THAT THEY FIT INTO YOURS

On one hand, im starting to like how my essay is turning out, so im not so sure if i wanna drop anymore.
Yet, i've so much on my small hands.

Sometimes i think about the future,
and i think about what's gonna happen,
and i try to think of how my life would turn out.
and then i realise,
I DONT KNOW.
i could be an architect, my childhood dream.
or an air stewardess, though lacking two cm.
or a teacher, even though everyone thinks i'll scare the kids.
or invent something and be rich shit, or not.
i dont know what i want to be, or who i want to be.
i only know God has a great plan,
just that i dont know what it is yet.
so i'll just wait and see,
even thought sometimes it can be quite scary.
im disconcerted.


"forever: its a short word for a veryvery long time.

TILL ITS OVER.

i've decided to being all of you on my long and ardous journey of my geog essay.
and im very glad to say that, all is not lost!
with motivation popping out at the most random of places and most random of times (think toilet bowls and one am), i can only say it's my great big Friend up there doing something.
so, this is the revised first half, enjoy:) and comments are very welcome :):)

“Till Death Do Us Part”

The very last line in the marriage vow is by far the most important, yet hardest to comprehend, and it was many years ago that the Human and Physical components of our surroundings had uttered this vow and forgone their single statuses to come under the large umbrella of Geography.

Currently, debate is rife about separating its long lasting union, speculation that they were never meant to be. They are worlds apart, with Human Geography likened to Art and Physical Geography likened to Science. Michael Naish, in his book contribution, outlines the developing views of the scope of school Geography in the United Kingdom during the late 1960s, where the whole syllabus underwent a ‘conceptual revolution’ to include more systematic and scientific teaching methods. The dominating element of this revolution was the attempt to explain phenomena through a more scientific approach, which involved posing and testing of hypotheses or construction of conceptual models to fit reality. This heavily undermined the Art aspect of Geography as the Science component took over as head of the household with its mighty influence on both the Human and Physical parties.

To further exasperate the situation, ‘it is often argued that Geography has not a distinct subject matter compared to other sciences but a distinctive point of view from which study is conducted’, hence touting the ‘marriage’ as illegitimate. As described by Joan Nunes, the superfluous nature of geographic content has made it difficult to define what is regarded within its scope, causing much discrepancy. The broad category of Geography is most effectively captured by William Hughes:

“mere names of places...are not geography... know by heart a whole gazetteer full of them would not, in itself, constitute anyone a geographer. Geography has higher aims than this: it seeks to classify phenomena (alike of the natural and of the political world, in so far as it treats of the latter), to compare, to generalize, to ascend from effects to causes, and, in doing so, to trace out the great laws of nature and to mark their influences upon man. This is 'a description of the world'—that is Geography. In a word Geography is a Science—a thing not of mere names but of argument and reason, of cause and effect.”
-William Hughes,1863

It is an ambition to describe the world.

Beautiful Lord, Wonderful Saviour
I know for sure, all of my days

Teach me dear Lord to live all of my life

Lead me Lord I pray

Take me, Mould me, use me, fill me
I give my life to the Potter's hand
Call me, guide me, lead me, walk beside me
I give my life to the Potter's hand

You gentlly call me into Your presence
guiding me by Your Holy spirit
teach me dear Lord to live through Your eyes

I DONT KNOW

i thought i was invincible
i thought i could handle everything
but i do not have the capacity or conviction to do so.
so i give up?

its not that i have no interest,
its more like i have no time.
rather i concentrate on a few and do it well than undertake alot and underperform in all.
jack of all trades master of none,
thats what i am,
and sometimes i hate it.


"and no daniel, it has nothing to do with you, i just cant wait to have you baack.
