Elections

The elections are on the way, & the dance of democracy(As the Times aptly puts it) has just started. Forget about loyalty for a term, we are talking of coalitions with no common stand on any issue whatsoever. The principles are free to rot as long as as long as they get a shot. (at those in any other so called coalition, I mean). All laws which favour an opponent need to change(atleast till the elections are over).



All this just got me thinking. I havent got got my voters id made, as of yet. These guys from Jaago Re are doing a voters drive in my college.



Apparently, the last day to submit the form, to vote for this years elections was 1st of April. But apparently, the last date to nominate a candidate to stand for elections is still some time away. Thats not all, after a particular party has named a candidate it still has a few more days to withdraw his/ her candidature. Now with less than a month to go a voter is not even sure who is going to stand for elections.



But whats the use of rambling about ?? What can I do? What can we do? As for this elections, I can only pray. I admit its my laziness that I can not vote this time.



But the time has come for us to wake up! Its no use speaking in our sleep!!!



Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long supressed, finds utterance. It is fitting that at this solemn moment we take the pledge of dedication to the service of India and her people and to the still larger cause of humanity.



And this, knowing the season, that already it is time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to us than when we first believed.

Just do it

Hey guys its really time we all started posting something on this blog. I guess I ought to start posting again. So heres a post after a lonnnnnnng time. Actually I'm in the middle of my exams. Funny how theres plenty of time to do just about anything when exams are on!!


This is something I've been meaning to post for a long time but I'm a 'bit' of a procrastinator. As a matter of fact this has a lot to do with that issue .I remember some time back some one was expounding this passage about Martha and Mary. I just remember this one priciple that I 'heard' . "It is more essential to deal with the important things in our life than with the urgent."

So often I get caught in this race to do all the things that 'need' to be done that i forget to do the things most important. To spell it out, to spend time sitting at Jesus' feet.



Be not hearers of the word but 'doers'.

(P.S. while searching for an image for this post i found this. Check out the website at the bottom of the pic)

All over the land

Your prints on this sand.

Maybe I’ll falter

If I just leave

The prints that my father

Has engraved for me.

I feel your presence

All over this land

Your moving radiance

Oh it’s so grand!

I see you coming

Down from the clouds

Come now O Jesus

Rescue me fast!

I wanna go home

Be one with you

Even if I’m alone

I’ll follow you

[BRIDGE]

I’m goin home with you

I will follow you

So come and take me now

Come and spread your love.

A good reminder of God's Love.

The Pastor and his son

A good reminder of God's Love.

Every Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at the church, the Pastor & his eleven year old son would go out into their town & hand out Gospel Tracts.

This particular Sunday afternoon, as it came time for the Pastor & his son to go to the streets with their tracts, it was very cold outside, as well as pouring down rain. The boy bundled up in his warmest & driest clothes & said, 'OK, dad, I'm ready.' His Pastor & asked, 'Ready for what?'. 'Dad, it's time we gather our tracts together and go out.' Dad responds, 'Son, it's very cold outside & it's pouring down rain.' The boy gives his dad a surprised look, asking, 'But Dad, aren't people still going to Hell, even though it's raining?'. Dad answers, 'Son, I am not going out in this weather.' Despondently, the boy asks, 'Dad, can I go? Please?'. His father hesitated for a moment then said, 'Son, you can go. Here are the tracts, be careful son.' 'Thanks Dad!'

And with that, he was off & out into the rain. his eleven year old boy walked the streets of the town going door to door & handing everybody he met in the street a Gospel Tract. After two hours of walking in the rain, he was soaking, bone-chilled wet & down to his VERY LAST TRACT. He stopped on a corner & looked for someone to hand a tract to, but the streets were totally deserted. Then he turned toward the first home he saw & started up the sidewalk to the front door & rang the door bell. He rang the bell, but nobody answered. He rang it again & again, but still no one answered. He waited but still no answer. Finally, this eleven year old trooper turned to leave, but something stopped him. Again, he turned to the door & rang the bell & knocked loudly on the door with his fist. He waited, something holding him there on the front porch! He rang again & this time the door slowly opened.

Standing in the doorway was a very sad-looking elderly lady. She softly asked, 'What can I do for you, son?' With radiant eyes & a smile that lit up her world, this little boy said, 'Ma'am, I'm sorry if I disturbed you, but I just want to tell you that *JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU* & I came to give you my very last Gospel Tract which will tell you all about JESUS & His great LOVE.'

With that, he handed her his last tract & turned to leave. She called to him as he departed. 'Thank you, son! And God Bless You!'

Well, the following Sunday morning in church Pastor Dad was in the pulpit. As the service began, he asked, 'Does anybody have any testimony or want to say anything?' Slowly, in the back row of the church, an elderly lady stood to her feet. As she began to speak, a look of glorious radiance came from her face, 'No one in this church knows me. I've never been here before. You see, before last Sunday I was not a Christian. My husband passed on some time ago, leaving me totally alone in this world. Last Sunday, being a particularly cold and rainy day, it was even more so in my heart that I came to the end of the line where I no longer had any hope or will to live. So I took a rope and a chair and ascended the stairway into the attic of my home. I fastened the rope securely to a rafter in the roof, then stood on the chair and fastened the other end of the rope around my neck.

Standing on that chair, so lonely and brokenhearted I was about to leap off, when suddenly the loud ringing of my doorbell downstairs startled me. I thought, 'I'll wait a minute, and whoever it is will go away.' I waited and waited, but the ringing doorbell seemed to get louder and more insistent, and then the person ringing also started knocking loudly. I thought to myself again, 'Who on earth could this be? Nobody ever rings my bell or comes to see me.' I loosened the rope from my neck and started for the front door, all the while the bell rang louder and louder.

When I opened the door and looked I could hardly believe my eyes, for there on my front porch was the most radiant and angelic little boy I had ever seen in my life. His SMILE, oh, I could never describe it to you! The words that came from his mouth caused my heart that had long been dead, TO LEAP TO LIFE as he exclaimed with a cherub-like voice, 'Ma'am, I just came to tell you that JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU.' Then he gave me this Gospel Tract that I now hold in my hand.

As the little angel disappeared back out into the cold and rain, I closed my door and read slowly every word of this Gospel Tract. Then I went up to my attic to get my rope and chair. I wouldn't be needing them anymore. You see, I am now a Happy Child of the KING. Since the address of your church was on the back of this Gospel Tract, I have come here to personally say THANK YOU to God's little angel who came just in the nick of time and by so doing, spared my soul from an eternity in hell. There was not a dry eye in the church. And as shouts of praise and honor to THE KING resounded off the very rafters of the building, Pastor Dad descended from the pulpit to the front pew where the little angel was seated. He took his son in his arms and sobbed uncontrollably. Probably no church has had a more glorious moment, and probably this universe has never seen a Papa that was more filled with love & honor for his son... Except for One.

Our Father also allowed His Son to go out into a cold and dark world. He received His Son back with joy unspeakable, and as all of heaven shouted praises and honor to The King, the Father sat His beloved Son on a throne far above all principality and power and every name that is named.

Blessed are your eyes for reading this message.

Heaven is for His people! Remember, God's message CAN make the difference in the life of someone close to you.
