BLOGGER



Youngest kid of six with an inferiority and black sheep complex, but determined that God saves not just his soul to heaven but the remainder of his manic-depressive life, so others won't say he became a Christian and remained a jerk.


MAIN THEMES

On identity
i won't be transparent before i'm opaque. and you'll get to know me starting from the small things: who my favourite bands are. what kind of movies i like. who are my heroes.

On Christianity
I’m convinced that when confronted with sincere, real love, the Jesus factor will become obvious. But let’s not plant the cross before we carry it. I’m not trying to con you.

On dreams
Some dreams are meant to be achieved. I know that. But maybe other dreams are meant to drive us, privately. Never known to anyone but ourselves.


OTHER THEMES

On melancholy
It is a sadness that, when choosing between crying and sighing, will choose sighing. I'd almost say that melancholy is being sad about sadness itself.

On memory and nostalgia
It saddens me when life moves forward and people decide that certain things are worth forgetting.

On language
I've learnt that the word irregardless is filed as a non-standard word in the English language. That's a lexicographer's way of saying it's not a real word.

On politics
Crowds are fickle things. So when we stand in the thousands and cry against the present government, do we know who we're actually crying for?

On society
People always want the best for themselves. But I want to sometimes take second or third or fourth best, just so that the loser down the road doesn't always have to come in last. It must feel like shit to always come in last.

On growing old
Leasehold property make me feel sad. It doesn't matter how old the family photos are that you put on your wall. It's your family but it's not really your wall.

On philosophy
I ask you, if God loves everyone, and if God is also incapable of loving evil, how can there be such a thing as an evil man?

On a daily basis
One line quips, like this.

I GOT JOBBED!

Praise the Lord!!!


He is so faithful! You know, for so many months, God kept telling me "wait, wait... this one's not for you". For so long i felt not just the destitution of being jobless but of running low on sheer cash, still He kept telling me to stay faithful and patient.

The interview that i went for... the one where i banged my car coming home... it was for a sub-editor's job. i wasn't feeling incredibly confident that day. i marked down my asking pay by a bit. i don't know why...

they called me the other morning: "Fergus, we've got good news for you. we're offering you the job at..." DOUBLE OF MY ASKING PAY!!! Hallelujah!!! How awesome is our God?! How faithful is our God?! i say this not to boast about anything other than the power and love and faithfulness of our incredible God! He has doubled my portion before my eyes, increased my request by a whole 100%. I told Him that day that this testimony will go everywhere with me whenever i speak about my jobsearch. and i will tell the world about His goodness!

i've been blessed. blessed beyond my wildest expectations. i can tell you right now i know humans don't double your asking pay out of their own volition. This is altogether, completely an act and intervention of our Almighty God. i've caught a glimpse, you know, of the reward Father has for those who wait on Him. i've been over the moon for the last two days and i know our shared joy will be a multiplication of this kind of joy by infinite measure. i praise Him because He is worthy of praise!

"Father, i thank You. You love me more than i can imagine, and You provide for me all i will ever need. Jehovah Jireh, i praise You for who You are! My loving provider, my caring Father. Thank You! In Jesus' mighty, mighty name, Amen!"
