"Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." —Acts 4:12

We kept getting tickets to nowhere. We had finished a missions trip to Jamaica and were trying to get home. However, our airline was having problems, and no matter what our tickets said, we couldn’t leave Montego Bay. Over and over we heard, “Your flight has been canceled.” Even though we had purchased our tickets in good faith, the airline could not back up its promise to transport us to the US. We had to stay an extra day before boarding a plane that could take us home.

Imagine thinking that you are headed for heaven, but discovering that your ticket is no good. It can happen. If you trust the wrong plan, you will get to the gate of eternity but be denied entrance into heaven to live with God forever.

The apostle Peter said there is salvation in no one else but Jesus (Acts 4:12). Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). The only ticket to heaven goes to those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ and His death on the cross as payment for their sin.

Some offer other ways. But those tickets are worthless. To make sure you’re going to heaven, trust Jesus. He’s the only way. — Dave Branon


Lord, I know I’m a sinner and cannot save myself. I need You as my Savior. Thank You for dying in my place and rising again. I believe in You. Please forgive my sin. I want to live with You in heaven someday.

Jesus took my place on the cross and gave me a place in heaven.

Angel
8:52 a.m. | 2009-10-22

- Robbie Williams -

I sit and wait
does an angel contemplate my fate
and do they know
the places where we go
when we're grey and old
'cos I've been told
that salvation lets their wings unfold
so when I'm lying in my bed
thoughts running through my head
and I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

and through it all she offers me protection
a lot of love and affection
whether I'm right or wrong
and down the waterfall
wherever it may take me
I know that life wont break me
when I come to call she wont forsake me
I'm loving angels instead

when I'm feeling weak
and my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
and I know ill always be blessed with love
and as the feeling grows
she breathes flesh to my bones
and when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

Still Standing
3:11 p.m. | 2009-10-09

Israel Houghton, Lakewood Church

You gave me courage to believe
That all Your goodness I will see
(In the land of the living God)
And if it had not been for You
Standing on my side
Where would I be

If not for Your goodness
If not for Your grace
I don't know where I would be today
If not for Your kindness
I never could say
I'm still standing

If not for Your mercy
If not for Your love
I most likely would have given up
If not for your favor
I never could say
I'm still standing
But by the grace of God

To You I lift my offering
And set my heart on higher things
(For if it had not been)
For if it had not been for You
Standing on my side
Where would I be
(Where would I be)

I'm still standing
I'm still standing
I'm still standing
But by the grace of God [x3]

Love Story - Taylor Swift
4:58 p.m. | 2009-10-08

thanks and no thanks to lee retarded ling, i have this song stuck in my head. a song which i initially thought was so teeny booper and too sweet for my liking, and have learnt to accept but not like.

Love Story - Taylor Swift (click to view the MV)

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said, marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes

Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

Ok, so i found this performance with Def Leppard which i think is pretty cool.

lost in steps and translation
10:47 a.m. | 2009-10-08

i have no idea why these thoughts came into my mind.

so guess what, 3.5 yrs ago i was a newbie to the great historic Europe. and now 3.5 yrs down the road i've been to the amazing land thrice. (obviously still waiting to go there on a biz trip but anyway..)

this morning something flashed across my mind: flamenco classes at the beginning of the school term.

so you're probably wondering, why did i sign up for that?
1. it was part of the "you have to try new things" mindset
2. you can embarrass yourself and no one will know
3. it was cheap. 18euros for 6mths' weekly lessons. (they didn't tell us the class size was 40)

and then perhaps to answer your next questions:

1. why flamenco?
A: sounds cool what. just for a basic course, why not just learn a few steps instead of merely oogling at all the great dancers.

2. any other lessons you took?
A: yes. (hold your jaw...) street jazz and something else i can't rem and nv attended i think. the deal was, you could get a full refund within the first three weeks of the lesson, so we took it up for fun.

3. what kinds of lessons were there?
A: sports and arts. i was searching desperately for climbing, but alas! there were none! there were things like floorball, which i figured i could always learn at home. i think the lesson timings clashed as well.

4. what, street jazz?
A: Yes. as i said, things i'd never learn in SG. the class size was like 60 for that, and held in an indoor basketball court. the teacher merely danced and we followed her.

so main point, after answering all these, what did i learn?
um, i think i managed to be introduced to the basic steps. ok fine, i didn't learn anything more than 3 lessons, since it was pretty far away from our hostel, and we had more parties to attend later into the semester. otherwise we were feeling lazy and preferred food to exercise. after all, we were constantly lost in steps and translation.

以基督的心为心
7:35 p.m. | 2009-10-05

我需要以基督的心为心, 以他的眼看世界, 把冷漠变成爱。求主赐我那能力以我的生命感化别的未信者的生命,因为我不能靠自己的力量完成这任务。

把冷漠变成爱

你的眼是否被太多美丽的事物迷惑
你的心是否被太多纷杂的世俗绑锁
分些关怀给角落中受伤的灵魂
分些爱给那些不起眼的面孔

以基督的心为心
以他的眼看世界
你身边的人需要你我把冷漠变成爱

以基督的心为心
以他的眼看世界
这世界需要你我把冷漠变成爱

圣洁的敬拜
10:28 a.m. | 2009-10-05

赞美之泉

燃烧我们的心来行走这地
带着祷告宣告盼望
靠主耶稣名行出真理
步步燃出圣洁火焰

圣洁的敬拜 爱主的精兵
勇敢迈出福音的脚步
向世界宣告
“黑夜变荣耀日”
瘸腿要跳舞 瞎眼得看见
洁净这地土
复兴要来临

不畏惧 黑暗权势
坚立于救恩磐石
齐声向全地宣告
主的大能和救恩
--------------------

求神再次燃烧我的心,让我活出他给我的使命.

开天窗

五月天

一只鲸鱼 要怎么放进冰箱
打开门 然后用力关冰箱
然后呢 如果你还想要放一只大象
一份希望 要怎么放进心脏
如果你 活的有一点悲伤
答案是 用力丢掉鲸鱼 用力甩飞翔

是谁说半夜不能吃便当
是谁说彩虹不能长头上
是谁说蓝色就等于忧伤
你看看天空和海洋
顺风时就张开双翅飞翔
逆风时就等车再冲浪
没有风的时候 那就让我 开开天窗

一句歌词 怎么让你很难忘
方文山 林夕 和我都在想
想破头也钻不进一个紧闭的心房
一个难题要用多少的智商 多少泪 还有多少的盼望
多少人变成紧闭门窗 孤独的国王

是谁说半夜不能吃便当
是谁说彩虹不能长头上
是谁说蓝色就等于忧伤
你看看天空和海洋
顺风时就张开双翅飞翔
逆风时就等车再冲浪
没有风的时候那就让我开开天窗

是谁说半夜不能吃便当
是谁说彩虹不能长头上
是谁说蓝色就等于忧伤
你看看天空和海洋
顺风时就张开双翅飞翔
逆风时就等车再冲浪
没有风的时候那 就让我 开开天窗
是谁说半夜不能吃便当
是谁说彩虹不能长头上
是谁说蓝色就等于忧伤
你看看天空和海洋
顺风时就张开双翅飞翔
逆风时就等车再冲浪
没有风的时候 那就让我 开开天窗
OPEN
lalalalalala...........

我是OPEN将,快乐的一天和你一起OPEN
我是OPEN将,快乐的一天和你一起OPEN

Fürstenfeld

STS

Langsam find't der Tog sei End, und die Nocht beginnt.
In der Kärntnerstroßen, do singt ana Blowing in the wind.
Hot a grianes Reckerl an, steht do ganz verlur'n,
und der Steff'l, der schaut obi auf den ormen Steirer Buam.

Er hot woin sei Glück probiern in da groß'n fremd'n Stodt,
hot glaubt sei Musik bringt eam auf's "Rennbahnexpresstit'lblatt".
Aus der Traum, zerplotzt de Seif'nblosn, nix is blim,
ois wia a poor Schilling in sein' Gitarr'nkoffa drin!

Wochenlang steh' i scho do, wochenlang plog i mi oh,
i spül mir die Finger wund und sing sogor "Do kummt die Sunn".
Doch es ist zum narrisch werd'n, kana wüll mi singan her'n.
Longsom kriag i wirklich g'nua, i frog mi wos i do dua.

Do geht den ganz'n Tog der Wind,
nix als Baustell'n, daß koa Mensch mehr find't,
de Burenheis'l sand a graus,
und im Kaffehaus brennst di aus!

I wüll wieder ham, i fühl mi do so alla,
brauch ka große Wölt, i wü ham nach Fürstenföld.

In der Zeitung, do hom's g'schrieb'n,
do gibt's a Szene, do muaßt hin.
Wos die woll'n, des soll'n sie schreib'n,
mir konn die Szene g'stohl'n bleib'n.

Do geh' i gestern im U4, fangt a Dirndl an zum Red'n mit mir,
schworze Lippen, grüne Hoor,
do kannst ja Angst kriag'n, wirklich wohr.

I wüll wieder ham, i fühl mi do so alla,
brauch ka große Wölt, i wü ham nach Fürstenföld.

Niemals spül i mehr in Wien, Wien hot mi gor net verdient,
i spül höchstens no in Graz, Sinabelkirchen und Stinaz.
I brauch kan Gürt'l, i brauch kan Ring,
i wüll z'ruck hinter'n Semmering,
i brauch nur des bissl Göd für die Fohrt noch Fürstenföld.

I wüll wieder ham, i fühl mi do so alla,
brauch ka große Wölt, i wü ham nach Fürstenföld.

离开地球表面
丢掉手錶 丢外套 丢掉背包 再丢嘮叨
丢掉电视 丢电脑 丢掉大脑 再丢烦恼

衝啥大 衝啥小 衝啥都有人唱反调
恨得多 爱得少 只想越跳越疯 越跳越高 把地球甩掉

一颗心噗通噗通的狂跳
一顺间烦恼烦恼烦恼全忘掉
我再也不要再也不要 委屈自己一秒
一颗心噗通噗通的狂跳
一顺间烦恼烦恼烦恼全忘掉
我甩掉地球地球甩掉 只要越跳 越高

野心大 胆子小 跳舞还要靠别人教
恨得多 爱得少 只想越跳越疯
越跳越高 把地球甩掉
