He keeps his thoughts and fears to himself, and instead does exactly what Jesus tells him to do. The lesson in that for me? Don’t be so quick with my fears, my questions, my self-interests. Just calmly do what Jesus asks of me, and trust that the outcome will be good in the end.
Those lines came from a reflection for today's Gospel found at https://onlineministries.creighton.edu/CollaborativeMinistry/090720.html It's amazing how those lines hit me on the right spot. I am that person with the withered hand who decided to keep mum. I am that person who did not want to touch on anything related to politics. I keep my thoughts to myself. I do not want to be involved. Yet, I am also that person who hopes for the best regardless. Now, is it wrong of me to keep quiet? I do not know. But the lines from the reflection somehow tells me that there is a right time to speak out. In the scenario of the man with the withered hand and the Pharisees, it was clear that THAT was the right time to speak out. He would have made a stir in their hearts if he yelled "For bloody sake! my hand is healed and you're worried if Jesus has broken the law??" But the thing inside my heart is also whispering -- they have seen a lot of miracles, would my voice even stir something in them? They are jealous of the Lord.. Nothing I could say could ever change that... But, at least I could have tried.

Way Back Into Love

Way Back into Love (featuring: Haley Bennett and Hugh Grant) OST: Music and Lyrics I've been living with a shadow overhead I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed I've been lonely for so long Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away Just in case I ever need em again someday I've been setting aside time To clear a little space in the corners of my mind All I want to do is find a way back into love I can't make it through without a way back into love Oh oh oh I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine I've been searching but I just don't see the signs I know that it's out there There's got to be something for my soul somewhere I've been looking for someone to shed some light Not somebody just to get me through the night I could use some direction And I'm open to your suggestions All I want to do is find a way back into love I can't make it through without a way b...

What?! SSS lang?!?!

A funny but understandably innocent situation occured to be last Saturday that truly made me think a lot.... as in A LOT.. I was approaching the elevator on our 14th floor office at Landco when suddenly a bunch of people from the other office was also on their way.. since the building was considered as a 'smart building' hehe.. smart daw coz there aren't any buttons inside the elevator.. what you do is you press the desired floor you'd like to go to on the outside then the elevator screen shows you which door you are assigned, which then would take you to your desired floor.. hayy haba! Anyways Elevator C is the dreaded door since it's always stuck, rarely is running properly plus there are fears of being stranded because of it's MOODS hehehe.. as we call it. Now to make the long story short.. we were assigned to elevator C and one could hear shrieks and ayyy's of some people knowing we would be using the dreaded elevator.. plus there were qualms of death! ...
