jus a bit earlier, i was lost in a quagmire of negativity and thoughts of time-insufficiency... there's never enough time to do anything!!! there seemed to be a vortex into which all my time (and happiness) was being relentlessly drawn, and all i could find time to do was think about how my time was being eaten away... anywayz, ironic that i should've been in such a hurry before, neglecting all that i should be so thankful for, and now here i am typing a rather useless message here in order to pass time!!!
had a pretty enjoyable morning tho... ;p david's game of knightmare chess was interesting... interesting, if somewhat annoying at times... haha... one card can flip the game around and turn it on its head!!! think about this... a card that rotates the board 90 degrees?!? a card that allows swappage of 2 pieces on the board?!? a card that undoes your opponent's last move (rightly called "chaos")?!? - yah, i had that one used on me... twice... ;p haha... then played music with sal... wishing for more time to do these things i like!!!
shall soon be off to clinic (silly me for assuming it was meant to start an hour ago, argh, useful stuff i could have done if i didn't have to hurry)... anywayz, today's clinic is cochlear implants... probably the highlight of my being here, where the entire story of the cochlear implant began from small seeds... now to know that it's helped many thousands of people to hear once again, or hear for the first time, it's an amazing thought!!!
;p big picture beckons once more... time is a constraint that we're called to live within, a curious blessing, but without it, there is no such thing as change... also, i shan't any longer worry that i don't have enough time... because we are always given enough, according to God's perfect plan... similarly, there's a good reason why in paul's description of love in 1 corinthians 13, he begins by saying that "love is patient"... i shall be thankful for the lifetime ahead for us all to respond to our calling to love, to live, to worship, be content and rejoice!!!
in Christ,
dave
Proverbs 14:29 - A patient man has great understanding, but a quick-tempered man displays folly.
Proverbs 16:32 - Better a patient man than a warrior, a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 - Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not selfseeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
