Colts Vs Bears

Wow, what a weekend that was! I thought the Colts almost lost it! But no, my man, Manning, wouldn't give up! Great game! Though a part of me wanted Brady to come back with 1 minute left, but th at thought was almost immediately crushed by the cornerback Marlin Jackson's last-minute interception. And first ever Black Head coach to take a NFL team to the super bowl and there are two...How about that? It is going to be interesting with Lovie Smith's Defense and Tony Dungy's Offense led by my man Manning! Will be interesting!

GO COLTS!

What is worthwhile under the sun?

Today's ODB reading says:

It is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. —Matthew 19:23

The riches of this world are vain,
They vanish in a day;
But sweet the treasures of God’s love—
They never pass away! —Bosch

Does that mean I can just spend my money fooolishly? Does that mean I dont study hard and work hard?? NOOO! God expects us to be good stewards of the resources HE gives us: Money, Wisdom, Time so on and so forth. But the problem is when we give these "resources" so much importance that we forget the "source". Do not depend on what you have but on the ONE who gave it to you in the first place. Always be grateful and shun pride!

Peace!

Snow in Texas

Man can you believe that! Snow in Texas! It was beautiful! The roads were crazy though, people driving @ 20 mph on the highway. Took me twice the time to get to work! But hey, I got here safe! Thank God for that! And my car was all iced up on Monday! Check out the pictures! Me been sick the last two days! Feeling tons better now! Picked up my buddy Sushil and his new bride Menaka from the airport yesterday! Good to finally see him married and all! In the evening, picked up Ranjit from DTS and went over to Sushil's new apartment and ate dinner there and watched the Mavs destroy the Rockets in the 4th quarter! GO MAVS! They are the best! Hope the make it to the finals this year and win. They are a much better team than last year!

Today's ODB,

The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing. —1 Corinthians 1:18

Which way will you take? The question is clear—
The choice you must make with a heart sincere;
To Jesus the Lord you now are inclined—
Today is the day to make up your mind. —Hess

What Do I Owe?

Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe, sin had left a

crimson stain He washed it white as snow
- by Elvira Hall (1820-1889)

Amazing is'nt it? Often times we forget this simple fact!

Today's ODB!

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. —Psalm 46:1

Though oceans roar and mountains quake,

And enemies deride,

We do not have to be afraid—

The Lord is by our side. —Sper

Peace!

Wednes dei

The name "Wednesday" comes from the Middle English Wednes dei, which is from Old English Wodnes dæg, meaning the day of the Germanic god Woden who was a god of the Anglo-Saxons in England until about the 7th century AD. Thanks to wikipedia! :-)

So finally I managed to go to the Christian store to get my new book. Been bored since I finished my last read.."Three" by Ted Dekker. I hear it's come out as a motion picture now. Well this time I got the book "The Visitation" by Frank Peretti. "Three" was good book, really enjoyed reading it. You should check it out!

Today's ODB reading!

Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise. —Luke 23:43

We are with Him and He with us;

Great confidence this gives

To face life’s trials and even death

Because our Savior lives. —D. De Haan

Amen to that eh? Peace!

No Worries!

No worries at all? What? How can that be? I know thats how you feel when somebody says "Dont worry". Or the famous or rather infamous response is "You have no idea what I am going through". But today's ODB reading and the Bible beg to differ! Check it out!

A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps. —Proverbs 16:9

Should mystery enshroud His plan

And our short sight be dim,

We will not try the whole to scan

But leave each thread to Him.

There you go! Thats why we should not worry..cos HE is in control. So, when the creator of the Universe, the Almight King of Kings is in control of your life, hey whats there to worry???

Yesterday was a quiet day! Solved yet another citical issue at work! Had our friends Vinod, Dorcas and lil' Nidhi over for dinner. Played some toy car racing with V and crashed, after our guests left. So quiet day!

Peace!
