Once upon a December

On moonlit heath and lonesome bank
The sheep beside me graze
And yon the gallows used to clank
Fast by the four cross ways

A careless shepherd once would keep
The flocks by moonlight there
And high amongst the glimmering sheep
The dead man stood on air

They hang us now in Shrewsbury jail
The whistles blow forlorn
And trains all night groan on the rail
To men that die at morn

And naked to the hangman's noose
The morning clocks will ring
A neck God made for other use
Than strangling in a string

And sharp the link of life will snap
And dead on air will stand
Heels that held up as straight a chap
As treads upon the land


Love it Live

As someone who fiercely protects her freedom and indulges in being free-spirited, I've always thought I had freedom in the bag.


Boy was I so wrong.


God has been opening my mind, showing me what true freedom is.


Somebody asked me in the past, what is someone like me doing in such a high commitment church like CHC?

I didn't have an answer for that person back then, but now I do.


In Christ, is where I finally found genuine freedom.


A freedom so light I could cry. Freedom that leaves me as white as snow, with the liberty and tools to sculpt me anyway I want. No longer bounded by rules and regulations, but given the power to break out of the mould men created.



I am free, in love and Love.


and it feels wonderful.


:)




You know, the best revelations are the ones that bring you back to the basics. It can be so simple. Yes it can. Men may complicate, but we rely on Him to bring us back to what matters the most.


Come back to the simple, quiet love of God; won't you

So, I have not been blogging for quite a while, reason why I am back is because I have something to voice out!

The death of Michael Jackson.

I know, we have seen/heard/read plenty of tributes for this King of Pop, this is not one of them. Don't get me wrong, he is definitly, to me, the uncontested King of Pop. Except I feel that this event also reveals a side of humans which really annoys me to the core.

Back when he was alive, it was always negative when people talk about MJ. Discussions revolve around his special interest in little boys, plastic surgery gone wrong, his Neverland Ranch (and of course, its relation to little boys), etc. Nobody talked about how great and influential his music is; focus instead was on how destroyed and weird he has become.

Then he died.

Suddenly everybody loves him. Everybody mourns for him. Where are the critics? Where were those who called him a sickass paedophile? Or those who mocked him for his distorted nose and lame cover up for his sudden white skin? Where are they? Sudden converts to mourners for MJ huh.

This world is a messed up world.

Look at artists today; Justin Timberlake, Usher, R.Kelly, Mariah Carey, all whose music are greatly influenced by MJ. There is a reason why he is titled the King of Pop. He, is the original. He is, the King of Pop.


It required his death for people to stop tearing him apart.

Didn't it.
