Feast of Sts Peter and Paul

2008-06-29T17:28:00.001+01:00

June 29, 2008

Sts. Peter and Paul

(d. 64 & 67)

Peter: St. Mark ends the first half of his Gospel with a triumphant climax. He has recorded doubt, misunderstanding and the opposition of many to Jesus. Now Peter makes his great confession of faith: "You are the Messiah" (Mark 8:29b). It was one of the many glorious moments in Peter's life, beginning with the day he was called from his nets along the Sea of Galilee to become a fisher of men for Jesus.
The New Testament clearly shows Peter as the leader of the apostles, chosen by Jesus to have a special relationship with him. With James and John he was privileged to witness the Transfiguration, the raising of a dead child to life and the agony in Gethsemane. His mother-in-law was cured by Jesus. He was sent with John to prepare for the last Passover before Jesus' death. His name is first on every list of apostles.

And to Peter only did Jesus say, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the nether world shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven" (Matthew 16:17b-19).

But the Gospels prove their own veracity by the unflattering details they include about Peter. He clearly had no public relations person. It is a great comfort for ordinary mortals to know that Peter also has his human weakness, even in the presence of Jesus.

He generously gave up all things, yet he can ask in childish self-regard, "What are we going to get for all this?" (see Matthew 19:27). He receives the full force of Christ's anger when he objects to the idea of a suffering Messiah: "Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do" (Matthew 16:23b).

Peter is willing to accept Jesus' doctrine of forgiveness, but suggests a limit of seven times. He walks on the water in faith, but sinks in doubt. He refuses to let Jesus wash his feet, then wants his whole body cleansed. He swears at the Last Supper that he will never deny Jesus, and then swears to a servant maid that he has never known the man. He loyally resists the first attempt to arrest Jesus by cutting off Malchus's ear, but in the end he runs away with the others. In the depth of his sorrow, Jesus looks on him and forgives him, and he goes out and sheds bitter tears.

Paul: If Billy Graham suddenly began preaching that the United States should adopt Marxism and not rely on the Constitution, the angry reaction would help us understand Paul's life when he started preaching that Christ alone can save us. He had been the most Pharisaic of Pharisees, the most legalistic of Mosaic lawyers. Now he suddenly appears to other Jews as a heretical welcomer of Gentiles, a traitor and apostate.

Paul's central conviction was simple and absolute: Only God can save humanity. No human effort—even the most scrupulous observance of law—can create a human good which we can bring to God as reparation for sin and payment for grace. To be saved from itself, from sin, from the devil and from death, humanity must open itself completely to the saving power of Jesus.

Paul never lost his love for his Jewish family, though he carried on a lifelong debate with them about the uselessness of the Law without Christ. He reminded the Gentiles that they were grafted on the parent stock of the Jews, who were still God's chosen people, the children of the promise.

In light of his preaching and teaching skills, Paul's name has surfaced (among others) as a possible patron of the Internet

Im sweet hahahahaha!

2008-06-29T17:27:00.001+01:00

You Are a Sweet Person

When it comes to snacks, you're more likely to grab some candy than heat up a pizza.

There's a good chance you're female (women prefer sweet snacks)...

Or at least, you prefer to be in the company of women.

Your tastes are simple and predictable. You are young at heart.

You tend to crave food you can just grab and eat.

Are You Sweet or Salty?

His dada feel so guilty about his cold. afraid and worried that he might pass it to james and mama to getting paranoid lol! but he is fine now.

The price of being parents

2008-06-24T17:53:00.005+01:00

Weve been so lucky to have our little baby boy. But mind you it is so tiring and exhausting. Its all worth it though, its not so easy getting up in the middle of the night when the baby is crying or wanted your assurance that you are there for him. ive never been so tired in my life , but ive never been happier in my life since i have my lovely baby boy. As a compliment me and my husband always take turn in the morning to look after james, not only in the morning though. So once james is awake so early, one will take him downstair and play with him so the other can rest and after few hours we switched role. Its not been so easy and i bet all the parents will agree on me.

Like today we did that me and my husband.. I took james downstairs so his dada can rest and after few hours he went downstairs to change james' nappy and asked me to rest and get more sleep while he is doing the laundry too. Never been lucky to have a husband like him. And once we are both awake dada is busy cleaning the house and while i look after james. He also cleaned our car, he always does that once a week as well as the house. Then he took the car to ths shop to get us something to eat for our dinner( as we called it lunch ).But normaly i cooked for our dinner but sometimes we just treat ourselves to get something outside once every 2 weeks, its not bad lol!Aside from our sunday tea which we normally get it outside to save me always from cooking.

And once i finished tidying the laundry and making the sauce for spaghetti i prepare myself and james for our playgroup. it is every tuesday just in our village school. meeting other mums and kids gives me time to chika chika and indulged myself with some issues and gossips in the village hahahah typical woman..... while the babies are busy playing but i have to keep james close to me as he is the youngest there and cannot crawl yet..pitty james always upset wanted to play but cannot do it yet..soon james...

as usual once i get home i am busy facing the monitor of our laptop hahahahaha! and while dada is resting playing his xbox 360 ..like a kid hes got many games oh dear!!!i just let him playing instead of spending time outside lol! which he cannot do now without my permission hahahahaha! we are both stucked now in the house..james' fault..lol!

Christening day..

2008-06-23T18:18:00.002+01:00

I wasnt able to post my blog yesterday was so tired after the celebration. Its james' fault again hahahahaha..poor james always gets the blame. Well, we had a beautiful day yesterday, get up so early as usual when i had my bath suddenly, robert shouted on me about the news in the philippines regarding the typhoon frank. I feel so devastated about it esp the tragedy on the sea about the ship that sunk in sibuyan island. I feel so sorry for the loss and their families.

After my bath we prepared for the christening of baby lean our neigbor next door. dada looked so smart in his black suit, james so cute in his cream polo and trouser and mama of course feels like princess hahahaa..with my white cream sexy top, smart 3/4 brown trouser, nice cover cutee sandal and bungles... Its started with a mass in st peters church and after that had our food and drinks at berwick rugby club place..James was so behaved in the church, all his baby friends were there making noise but james so behaved even fell asleep in mamas lap..clever boy! lol!

Spent most of the afternoon there having foods and drinks play with other babies chatting with parents, get tipsy with a glass of fine. Dada got me the strong one huhuuuuuu! poor mama feels dizzy hahahhaa! then went home sleep early so tired....

attention span

2008-06-21T15:45:00.000+01:00

Your Attention Span is Medium

Your attention span is just about average.

You may think that you have a short attention span...

But being distracted is something most people struggle with.

The most important thing is that you're aware that your mind wanders.

If you find yourself daydreaming, you can usually snap out of it.

It may be tough to concentrate at times, but you can do it... if you want to!

How's Your Attention Span?

we were so amazed on how our little james developing everyday. Yesterday, his dada discovered new from james and he showed it to me...James can stand while holding his both arms...we were so delighted and proud. He is so strong he is just 13 weeks. I also try to do tummy time esp after his bath while giving him massage and he really stretch his legs and arms. But sometimes he gets upset if it is too long...Apart from that he is really noisy now always making sounds, copying our sounds and we always caught him talking by himself lol! We love you so much our little hero..

My husband has to go out to change the rug for the sitting room that we bought. He doesnt like it coz its looks like dirty and I think thats the cause of james' rashes in his face. And he bought stuff for james in boots shop using his advantage card we could get points ..and its add up everytime we buy there so its worth a lot we've got more than a thousand points now. We just wait to get enough points to pay for car seat coz we plan to buy a new car seat for james. The one we've got at the minute is only good for certain months. We will be using the new one once we go for our holiday in september by that time james would be 6 months so we need a bigger one now that would last him till he is about 3 years old. I've done sme washing again hahahahaha! And ate Tess and family came around to see baby james and drop my food stuff from filipino shop.

Father's Day is a celebration inaugurated in the early twentieth century to complement Mother's Day in celebrating fatherhood and male parenting, and to honor and commemorate fathers and forefathers. Father's Day is celebrated on a variety of dates worldwide and typically involves gift-giving to fathers and family-oriented activities. In 2008, it will be celebrated on June 15th in most countries.

In the Roman Catholic tradition, Father's Day is celebrated on Saint Joseph's Day, commonly called Feast of Saint Joseph, March 19, though in most countries Father's Day is a secular celebration.

The officially recognized date of Father's Day varies from country to country. Like in The United Kingdom and in the Philippines its always in the third sunday of the month of June as most other countries.

2008-06-11T17:22:00.002+01:00

As usual we get up so early...James used to it now so does mama. Its really tiring coz im not used to get up early, I have no choice now have to live with it lol!. Every morning i play with James and once he gets tired lucky me hehehehe! coz its bed time again for him and mama can rest. Its our usual cleaning day, I want to do this week coz Dada's been working night shift. Eventhough, he still would like to do it but just want him to relax this time and get more sleep with James lol!

At 10.30 we have to leave the house for the Brilliant baby club to be there on time. Its nice to be with mum and kids share and learn from each other. I am the only alien there lol! i mean asian all are locals. But everybody's nice, its very informal and so welcoming plus free food hahahahaha! The baby's just almost the same age as james. We have 7 sessions just once a week, we talk stuff about baby its really brilliant. Indeed, its called brilliant baby club hahahahaha! We are supposed to talk and learn about baby message today but unfortunately the midwife is not feeling well.We just talk about getting our baby in to a routine esp sleeping time. As for james once he had his bath at night and feed he normally goes to sleep the next thing we knew its morning already hehehehe!BRILLIANT lol!

Playgroup day!

2008-06-10T17:30:00.006+01:00

Its windy today still nice not so cold. I still wear shirt and use my slippers nice lol! been up early coz James wanted to play so Robert and I just take turns to play and change him in the morning we are both tired, robert just went home from his night shift Im so proud the way he handles thing about baby stuff, coz its new for him , he's done a great job. As I said windy day, nice day for laundry lol! so does some washing again. I feel so sorry for our washing machine its always working almost everyday lol! I stop using our tumble drier now coz its not good for the clothes, i just use if it its really necesarry.

While Robert is in the gym, James and mama goes to Playgroup in our village with Claire and baby lean our neighbor just next door. And we meet more mums and kids their at the playgroup. The twins are there, they are so bubbly, lean is so hyper lol! Poor James ,so upset want to grab some toys but he cant hehehehe! Still young, he is the youngest in the group. And lean's big sister kirsty is there too just finished school when she pop out from the classroom and James always happy to see her, they both enjoy each other. Kirsty is like his big sister.

When Dada Robert get home, he bought James a new stroller a lighter one, coz the one we've got is so heavy its only good for walking in the village and its too big in the car. We need a lighter one for a walk if we go somewhere and easy to carry and put in the car. And a new curtains for the house, just a new look I am re decorating the house at the moment just to give it a new look. And bought some items for the kitchen as well. So im busy doing the sitting room and the kitchen. I choose the color this time so he is not surprised when i picked the motif..its orange hehehehehe! not all though.

Tomorrow another busy day for James and Mama as we will be going to attend the BRILLIANT BABY club in our town..So the scope is getting bigger now hehehehe! Just to learn some stuff about baby there its only an hour with free lunch lol and the best thing its all free. Our health visitor Chris invited us to go, so why not?Bring it on..

How to find your age from your appetite

2008-06-08T14:50:00.000+01:00

Here's a mathematical conundrum that's guaranteed to put a smile on your face while you scratch your head at the same time.

It takes less than a minute but will have you talking to your friends and family about it for ages. It's called HOW TO WORK OUT YOUR AGE BY EATING OUT.

Follow the instructions-and remember-don't shout out your age first.You'd probably tell lies anyway.Don't read the bottom until you've worked it out. And no cheating Trust me, you'll enjoy it. lol!

THE QUIZ
1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to go out to eat. It must be more than once but less than ten.
2. Multiply this number by 2.
3. Add 5.
4. Multiply it by 50.
5.(a) If you have already had your birthday this year add 1758, (b) if you have'nt, add 1757.
6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.
7. You should have a three digit year number.
8. The first digit of this was your original number: i.e. How many times you want to go out to restaurants in a week.

The next two numbers are your age. Oh yes it is! lol!

* incidentally, 2008 is the only year this will work.
* Daily Record paper

I am ME

2008-06-07T16:57:00.000+01:00

Feel His Power
I'm sitting here wishing I knew what to doto take your pain away.I'm sitting here wishingI somehow knewexactly what to say.I'm sitting here wishingyet knowing all the whilethat the best thing to do is pray.And so I pray God's love and peacewill engulf and comfort you.I pray He'll ease your suffering and painas only He can do.Place your hand in His hand;feel the power He gives.And know His strength is your strengthbecause within your heart He lives.

Prayer

2008-06-06T16:38:00.000+01:00

Prayer is conversation with God. It is something that is available for us to participate in no matter the circumstance or situation: anytime, anywhere. The Bible says that the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears attentive to their prayer (1 Peter 3:12). The Lord hears the prayers of the righteous (Proverbs 15:29) whose prayer is powerful and effective (James 5:16).
So let us pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. (Ephesians 6:18)

Disney Channel!

2008-06-06T14:02:00.000+01:00

We spend most of our day today watching telly The Disney Channel. Not the sort of stuff i would like to watch but since James came into our life i learned to like it. My baby likes it especially the song of Mickey Mouse lol! No wonder most of his stuff has disney logo on it, courtesy of Mama. James enjoys watching it.. he kicks his feet and makes a funny sound everytime they sing the song of Mickey Mouse. Its really entertaining esp at his age , the colours oh he loves it. Ashamed he cannot understand the words yet, will get through that stage James lol!

What a beautiful day!

2008-06-06T13:52:00.000+01:00

What a beautiful day! A beautiful day to wake up full of hope faith and love. After seeing my beautiful baby's smile no wonder for me life is so beautiful. I have all the reason to say so.

Seeing peoples smile in our village as we go for a walk ang paying the rent at the post office its a nice feeling sharing this wonderful world. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the trees that give us life, the family that give us reason to live on...

Hmmm im just so blessed and wanna share all this stuff in my mind and in my heart lol!

Lovely day at Kelso

2008-06-04T17:55:00.001+01:00

Good day to Everyone! We have a lovely weather today. Weather really permits us to visits Roberts dad in Kelso. I could feel the warm bright sun in our bedroom this morning and it was so nice. And my beautiful baby boy i think he likes it coz he gave mama a beautiful smile while in his bed lol!

We head to Kelso this morning with a nice weather i was actually sweating. Which Im so glad keep me alive lol! We walked along the town and went shopping to http://www.thefactoryshopgroup.co.uk/ , where i bought some stuff which i needed. They have lovely stuff there and very affordable.James really enjoys the sun while his dada is pushing his buggy. Robert's dad looks so cool today and smart. After shopping we went back to Dad's place and have our lunch a spicy pie, i really like it. And meet some of Dad's flatmates and james welcomes them with a gorgeous smile. But we have to go back to Dads place coz James fill in his nappy so i have to change him using pampers and wipe it with johnson soft sensitive. James enjoys it, he give mama a cutee smile while cleaning him.

After it, we spend most of the time walking in the town. See some shops the charity shops and the baby shop of course. While Roberts went inside the Post office to get someload for our electricity and visit some bank the bank of Scotland Halifax. We really enjoy walking making most of the beautiful weather.

Before heading home we supposedly stop in Morrisons to do our food shopping but instead we have to go home for James. So Robert has to do the food shopping alone. I have to settle James. he looks so tired after a busy day. And prepare out tea roast chicken with vegetables and roast potatoes hmmmmm yummy.

Now we just spent the rest of the night relaxing, watching films. Robert will be working tomorrow so it would be a busy day for me and James doing some cleaning at home and walking

Hmmm Lovely day! Hope more days to come ...

my first post

2008-06-03T16:02:00.000+01:00

Hello everybody, i am new here.Its my first post here as i just joined the blog. i hope to acquired more knowledge and information about this site and hope i could share something as well that will benefit for the common good. A good friend of mine introduced this to me. I didnt waste time and jumped in too join the community as i heard good feedbacks from my friend. Well not so much to say actually as im still learning about this stuff, but looking forward to enjoy and explore everything hopefully all good.

Hmmm let me start by intruducing myself..would that be helpful? would say so lol! I am Ann, Im a married woman with a happy marriage life living with my loving husband Robert here in the United Kingdom. We have a beautiful healthy baby boy. A bouncing 11 weeks old big baby lol! We named him James ( from one of Jesus' disciples). James is the best thing that every happened in our life and we really enjoy and love every minute of it, apart from the tiredness though but its all worth it.

I am currently on maternity leave at the moment hopefully be back after summer here. I feel guilty leaving James that too early so I decided to extend my leave. Im so glad that my boss is so nice, so when i go back to work i can choose my time which is very flexible to me and with my famiy too. Meaning i can spend more time with my baby and husband which is very essential for my family.

So at the moment i enjoy the term as they called motherhood lol! and i loved it! especially now that James is so bubbly always seeking attention from his Dada and Mama. He likes seeing things now especially colourful objects, so his dada keep buying him colourful stuff and playing with him too and they both enjoy it. i could hear James giggling so loud.

Today, its not really good outside a typical UK weather wet and rain so we just stay at home enjoy the coal fire and watching telly and obviously doing this stuff lol! But. tomorrow if weather permits we plan to visit Roberts dad in another town in Kelso, part of Scotland ,a 20 miles away from our place. Just do some food shopping, have a walking lovely day and have meals outside so that saves me from cooking hahahahahaha!

I love this stuff writing my day events its like my journal lol! looking forward for another day to write more of me and discover more.

Thank you for letting me in....

Ann
