I Give You My Heart - Jeff Deyo
Don't you just love irony. Lolx.
Anyway, yes, i know i promised a personalised, yada yada yada template but judging for the complains i'm getting due to me hiatus, i dont think you guys'll mind this yet ya ? Heehz.
Yes. Regarding the pink. Well, there was the blue and green one. Cornflower blue and limegreen. And personally, i rather like cornflower blue. So why didnt i use that skin instead ? Simple. ANDREW IS USING IT and that the limegreen look real gross. Too neon. Bleach. So yea, the other types looked well, not clean enough so here we have, a slightly pinkish one. I promise to deliver all of you from this pinkness once my iBook is back. For those who don't know what happened, i dropped my iBook during PL camp, kinda killed the hard drive, it's at apple now, more than 2 weeks already. Sigh. My data~~~ *Sobs*
His name is Bill. He has wild hair, wears a T-shirt with holes in it, jeans and no shoes. This was literally his wardrobe for his entire four years ofcollege. He is brilliant. Kind of esoteric and very, very bright. He became a Christian while attending college. Across the street from the campus is a well-dressed, very conservative church. They want to develop a ministry to the students, but are not sure how to go about it.
One day Bill decides to go there. He walks in with no shoes, jeans, his T-shirt, and wild hair. The service has already started and so Bill starts down the aisle looking for a seat. The church is completely packed and he can't find a seat. By now people are really looking a bit uncomfortable, but no one says anything. Bill gets closer and closer and closer to the pulpit and when he realizes there are no seats, he just squats down right on the carpet. (Although perfectly acceptable behavior at a college fellowship, trust me, this had never happened in this church before!) By now the people are really uptight, and the tension in the air is thick. About this time, the minister realizes that from way at the back of the church, a deacon is slowly making his way toward Bill.
Now the deacon is in his eighties, has silver-gray hair, and a three-piece suit. A godly man, very elegant, very dignified, very courtly. He walks with a cane and as he starts walking toward this boy, everyone is saying to themselves, You can't blame him for what he's going to do. How can you expect a man of his age and of his background to understand some college kid on the floor? It takes a long time for the man to reach the boy. The church is utterly silent except for the clicking of the man's cane. All eyes are focused on him. You can't even hear anyone breathing. The people are thinking. The minister can't even preach the sermon until the deacon does what he has to do. And now they see this elderly man drop his cane on the floor. With great difficulty he lowers himself and sits down next to Bill and worships with him so he won't be alone. Everyone chokes up with emotion.
When the minister gains control he says, "What I'm about to preach, you will never remember. What you have just seen, you will never forget. Be careful how you live. You may be the only Bible some people will ever read." - Author Unknown
Found this off a Christian Goth website. A very interesting read. Goths're not just people who you see as wearing black make-up and dark clothings but a subculture with attitude, music and all.
Anyway, I rather enjoyed reading this story. Talk is cheap. Don't try to live like a Christian, try to live like Christ. Christ had never despised anyone, so who are we to do so?
So now, i'll need to update some of my links. Or at least as many as i remember. Really sorry for the delay people. =/
