A love song I wrote 10 years ago, when I was amazed at how He was always holding and guiding my hands as I played the piano. I only gave it the title 'Into Your glory' two years later.
With Your hands holding mine,
notes of love through my heart.
songs of joy surge within me,
in your presence I abide.
Knowing You, I'm overwhelmed
by a sweetness uncontained--
Stepping into Your glory,
I see the cross where You were slained...
No pow'r can stand against You,
No beauty can compare
To the splendour of Your holiness,
to the mercy of Your hands.
I bow my knee before You,
In worship I adore
Gentle Saviour, Precious Jesus,
You're my all.

Remembering Our Source
I like this quote by Ignatius of Antioch, a letter to the church in the early 2nd Century:
"...at best I can only be a pale example of Christ Jesus; let people look away from the reflection and turn to the reality...so pray that I may never fall into the trap of impressing people with clever speech, but instead I may learn to speak with humility, desiring only to impress people with Christ himself."

The Elusive Mr Bones
This is a period of waiting and searching, and more waiting--- For the perfect job, the perfect house to rightly fit the perfect man/woman and perfect car. But in the midst of the search, Abel and I often found ourselves looking for the perfect job and house to match the dog we're gonna have!
Top 7 dog candidates
1. The Cairn Terrier (from:www.dog.breed.facts.com)
Quite a potential Mr Bones, if we could say! A proper ragmuffin, hunting dog and looks like the norfolk that we like. It's a nice size for an apartment too, though its supposed to be the biggest of the terrier breed.
2. The Maltese X Shitzu
I have many good things to say about this breed. 1. It has a smiling face, 2. it doesn't shed fur despite it looking like a jaunty furball 3. I semi-owned one in perth six years ago, and currently own one in Singapore, and from experience, know how affectionate they are.
The only consideration is that they're too cutsey for a husband if he has to bring it to work.
3. The Corgi (from:www.petandbook.com)
mm. I'm fine with this, only that it looks a little too 'sausage-like' for my taste. Abel likes it quite a lot (I suspect it's only cos the Queen of England has it!)
4. The Beagle(from yaletown yupp at fliker)
We like the idea of having a 'Watson'but this dog sheds quite a lot of hair! Still, it's a good size.
5. The Norfolk Terrier (from www.perrilandia.com)
It's certainly got the look and edge that we are looking for but no one's breeding it here in Perth!
6. The Border Collie (from www.gotpetsonline.com)
We are sad to place it second last but its medium size and tendency to shed hair makes it borderline impossible to have it in our prospective home. Abel is also worried about not being able to match the collie's energy level.
7. The German Shepherd (from: alan browser on fliker)
What a handsome, handsome breed. Abel and I can only admire them from afar because it's obviously unrealistic to bring em up for now.
