All you need is...
From the Readers Digest
When asked "Do you think all any of us really want, deep down, is to be loved?" US novelist Garrison Keillor responded:
"No, we want to be rich, to be admired, to eat like a horse and be skinny as a snake. To have small children ask for our autographs, to be on terrific medications that make us calm and witty and sexy. To sing divinely in public. But in the absence of all that, it's enough to be loved."

From another song in my head
"When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool..."
"If I swallow anything evil,
put your finger down my throat..."
- The Who, "Behing Blue Eyes"

Today at Church
We had the special Covenant Service today as part of the Sunday service. It had three parts : Prayer of adoration, Thanksgiving and Confession of sin.
And one of the prayers went like this...
We confess the poverty of our worship, the formality and selfishness of our prayers, our inconstancy and unbelief, our neglect of fellowship and of the means of grace, our hesitating witness for Christ, our false pretences and our wilful ignoring of your ways.
Have mercy on us, Lord, and forgive us.

Santiago talking to himself...
"You give me much good counsel," he said aloud. "I'm tired of it."
-Ernest Hemingway, 'The Old Man and the Sea'

Quotables
This is a new label and will contain my own quotes plus anything else I see from time to time which sounds good. I just felt the label "Poetry?" wasn't doing this one any justice. So this is essentially the second post under this label.
"The world will be much funnier place if you learn to laugh at yourself"

Quotes
"Tops on these tips are the quips of wise lips"
Sometimes I just make up "wise-sayings" or proverbs if you want to call it that. I'm adding them to the "Poetry?" label because i an't think of anything fancier at the moment. To me they seem very original but it is quite probable and possible that they are modified/personalised form of existing sayings. If you think so, please do send me your comments.
"I hate photos. They destroy the illusions I have about myself"
