Country in decline...
Sad to see on question time tonight Stephen Green being given a hard time.
People in the audience muttered everytime the bible was mentioned and Jerry Springer the Opera came up again with people having no problem with it.
Perhaps its just peoples perception of God and a complete lack of understanding of his holiness...It makes me afraid to see people treating issues such as portraying God in a nappy with such disregard and deriding the Word of God...
At least the earth is the Lords and everything in it.

Whats been happening in my life?
This past couple of weeks has been incredibly busy with university applications, A level work and piano playing all slotted in somewhere around the cricket thats been on. The ahes rocked! We rock! Australia don't! yay!
A new year also means a fresh start with the CU...there were 70 people at the meeting today which is an encouragement. Like everything, the initial influx of people is likely to gradually decrease as the year goes on but still nice to see so many people there.
Heard a quote recently which said "Its easier to say no before you have tasted than it is after you have tasted". Hopefully I'll take this approach this year as I will legally be allowed to visit pubs and peer pressure increases.
Unfortunately there will be nothing witty here today (out of character I know :-p)

long time no post...I apologise. I dwell on the well side of life having been particularly challenged these past couple of weeks.
Recently came across a delightful political verse in Ecclesiastes...

Hmmm...
Norton Internet security has very usefully been blocking websites such as addictinggames.com and blast billiards which has helped me to get on with my life.
However, I have a complaint to register. Tonight, I attempted to access sermonaudio.com and was blocked from it. The reason? no, not religious fundamentalism but sex/Acts...now either Norton Internet security is completely wrong or Sermon Audio is...hmmm

A Message? But what message exactly?
My song is love unknown,
my Savior's love to me,
love to the loveless shown
that they might lovely be.
O who am I
that for my sake
my Lord should take
frail flesh and die?
Coldplays new album X&Y is obviously influenced by a number of artists that have preceded them. The ending of the second track "What If" sounds remarkably similar to something the Beatles have done while as has been much talked of the track "Talk" has taken a lot from Kraftwerk's "Computer Love".
Having listened to most of the songs on the album I also think that the hymn by Samuel Crossman that I have quoted above influenced Coldplay in their song "A Message". Chris Martin starts by singing "My Song is Love..." with a pretty similar tune that we sing to the hymn. Thats as far as it goes however, but if the hymn had been an influence they are quite nice words for a high profile celeb to read. That said, it doesn't seem to have impacted Mr. Martin but hey...theres a useless analysis for you.
The message of the song "A Message" is the usual you'd expect...a small love ballad with average rhyming. I like the song and am sure thousands of others will. The message from the hymn that I believe Coldplay may have heard is far deeper and to be heeded by everyone. Its a shame that its not the case in this society.
