It's been a wierd wednesday...call it wierd wierd wednesday(WWW???)...for many reasons. I told you the other day this place was rife with rumor i was leaving. True. Iam. I aint exactly so excited about this whole thing though. This place been like home and its hard to let go. But i have to. Will be leaving very soon...in three days time. So you can be sure im seeing to it office is in order and all is fine in my department. Don't want to leave things in a mess yo!

And the wierd bit...........had to say bye to some people and it wasnt fun.Realy. Will have to endure bouts of nostalgia for some days to come but i trust i will get over it.I guess this happens to everybody, huh? Well, then im just being human!

This evening had one of those long walks with a friend. Came back a while ago. Now there is this particular "route" we took and i oh my God..i had lots to learn! Ok let me try to give a vivid description here. We negotiated our way through a murrum road, took a turn and another...and then another turn this time to a narrow path nieighboring patches of grass and shrubs in the vicinity. It wasnt the first time i was here. Along the way i was reminded of the narrow path in the Bible. It came as a suprise but it was making sense. This path is so narrow me and my friend could'nt "fit in" so we had to take turns...she went first and i had to follow. Being potentially dangerous in the sorrounding bushes n shrubs, we wouldnt dare venture into that "dead end". So we had to keep in file!

Think about all the "dead ends" we face everyday in our walk with Christ while we make our pilgrimage home...our real home..yet we have to keep moving on...along the "narrow path".

Meanwhile news just comin in..transport prices are back on high again. Somebody's got to pray about this.

We have "all" watched The Passion Of The Christ, havent we?? Yestarday was the my second time to view this Mel Gibson's thriller and it had the same hard hitting impact....you simply can't avoid its power. Not because of its fine soundtracks or cutting edge graphics or world accliamed cast (Jim Caviezel, Maia Morgenstern, Monica Belluci, Mattia Sbragia, Hristo Naumov Shopov, Claudia Gerini, Luca Loniello). Its a movie whose underlying effect is captured in its own tagline: By his wounds we are healed. It can't be more real!

My best part of the film is when a horrified Mary (Maia Morenstern) runs over to a scourged Jesus (Caviezel) saying "im here...im here...." and he looks up to her and says "Behold i make all things new". WoooW!!! What a line ! It just blew me away! And indeed Jesus makes all things brand NEW..no doubt. We only need to come to him just as WE ARE to realise this. For more info about The Passion, CLICK HERE. And there is an exciting interview of Jim Caviezel with CBN/700 Club's Scott Ross concerning his role of Jesus in the The Passion. To check it out, GO HERE.

Meanwhile.....the day passed by almost unnoticed because i was asleep for the biggest part of the afternoon. Guess it was fatigue of last week working me. You see, for the last 3,4 days ive been sleeping past 1Am.Anyway, i now feel much better...rearing to go for the rest of the week.

This morning i was in church and something happened...yes concerning the age old Apostle's Creed we have all come to know, cram, and recite every other sunday. Today, it was just more than the "I believe....." (so it begins). The whole esense and meaning of this passage made much sense to me more than ever. It was like i was saying.."Hey, this what i BELIEVE in and no one can take it away from me!" Frankly, it was not as "boring" as i used to think and for once i wanted us to go and on and on...making that divine confession that stirs up faith and enhances our connection with God. I know most of the "X - Generation" don't flow well with liturgy but a close look and more heart into these written proclamations could just be the thing you and i need. Don't try to dump these lirtugies, they aint as "lifeless" as we think!

It's a weekend so i won't be workin ma self crazy. Will go for a youth fellowship at church later on in the day n try to pile up on ma energy levels with a stress-free evening.

Atleast the month is tryna catch some momentum. Its 27th and one wishes february comes a little closer....im talkin about those on payroll..just like me! Its understandable we feel that way..for reasons "best known to us".

Happy Sunday!

Woke up on the "lows" this morning. I wasnt my usual funky self but if there is anything i have learnt, it is tell Jesus about such, carry on and leave the rest to him. And thats just what i did. I feel much better now. Didnt do much to do with work..yes 'work' as we know it.. Was content to read my Bible, give some computing assistance to some friends who were here this mornin. Later had a chat with a friend of mine and encouraged them where they, just like me in the mornin, were feelin like they were drifting into the "lows". I reckon thats what friends are for!

Was in choir practice today at church. I now realise music makes one younger. Honestly, i felt like a 13teen year old as we went through song after song..so free..n so happy. Now thats the fun of it. Does this remind you of a certain scripture?? "....for no one can enter my kingdom unless he becomes like a child "- Jesus. For me, this was all the more real this evenin.

Yesterday i told you to check out some online christian radio stations specially dedicated to rock your world with sensational spiritual songs. Upon revision, looks like i made things a little difficult. I gave you "longcuts" and that aint so friendly. So why not check out these "shortcuts''..they are much easier to work with i guess:

Live 365

1Faith FM

Lucky Seven Radio

Guys, all the above are streaming audio web resources so you may have some problems with nagging instances of buffering that interrupt the music. Actually i recommend Lucky Seven Radio...it doesnt buffer alot. Anyway, i think it all depends on your Internet connection speed. When you get to lucky seven's home page, Click the 'listen' icon next to Modern Christian.

Got be gone.

The day is effectively over. I uncharacteristically didnt have much to do today. Havin slept late last night it was practically hard to wake up early. Kept at my work place all day...read n sent a number of mail. Maybe i really had things to do but i simply ignored them...hey.. a guy needs a breather!! I think my unusually big chunk of free time enabled me to "adventure" n do a couple of things i hadnt done before..like trying out Windows command-line tools i have never used before...read other people's blogs..and ofcourse checked out comments on my own blog. And by the way, for those of you who are sick and tired of carrying CDs with you every time you want to listen to music...i think i got a simple remedy for you here. Well, you could check out this online radio website (Live365). Choose your prefered christian music preferences...you could as well sign up to have more customised settings. The other option:Open Windows media player (comes with all Windows o/s versions), click radio tuner. In the 'Browse by Genre', search bar, choose 'Christian hits' >>>>>then choose 1FAITH.FM-Gospel. (***For both of these options you need a dedicated Internet connection because they are all web based). Enjoy the music. Let me know if this has helped you in any way.

This week im reading the book of Hebrews. It has always been a fascinating piece of the Bible and though i have read it tens of times...i still find reason to read it again. and again...

Before i quit, there is this interesting SMS a friend of mine sent me many months ago. It struck me and it has since then never been deleted outa ma memory...it rings in ma mind everyday. She wrote:

"Hi Ed. The greatest mathematical equation ever constructed: 1CROSS + 3 NAILS= 4GIVENESS "

Amazed, huh?

It's 9:46 Pm here and im still at office. The good news is im done with most of the work i had to do so that comes as a relief. The day was its usual busy self but somehow i managed to pull through and keep my self in one piece. I realise its so easy to be absolved in work and forget many other important things..or more important things like friends...God. Yestarday the Lord reminded me not to forget to give priority to the one thing that matters most in my life: HIM. And it really made sense..or to be quite "current" , it does make lots of sense in today's cut throat corporate environment where its work work work and more work.So that's a lesson learnt!

Met a couple of friends today and that made it a much brighter n better day. I wonder what the world would be without friends...an extremely boring lonesome planet. Thank God for the opportunity to love and be loved back.....its the sweetest thing yo! So make it a point to love somebody out there....n dont just love em tell em whatchu love about them, er??!!

Rumor continues to float in and around the corridors of ma workplace that im leaving very soon....well at the moment its 'rumor'..just. Guess i should call a press conference and make a "statement" in typical "diplomatic" style..what do u think??!!

Today, we received and welcomed our new boss here. As far as im concerned...basing on the "Edgar scale"...he passed the first "test"..bravo !! I just hope he doesnt kick out my proposed project my former boss left on the desk...im prayin he doesn't cz i "badly" need that stash! and all that goes with it!!

Got to fellowship this evening. It was beautiful. I learnt not to lose focus of the cross.

************************

Now guys if u watched last night's match..i mean Arsenal against Spurs..u must have walked away the most dejected fella after the final whistle.....Oh ma God 5-1 was quite a spanking!!! Honestly too embarrasing for ardent gunner fans like me. Any way i shoulda seen it coming....it was only a matter of time n Spurs would hit the Arsenal. And it did...unfortunately.

Im back! hw is everybody?? If anything, let me start by mentioning that the year is movin on sluggishly.Maybe its because evryone is kinda broke in some way. i really cant wait for february!

Im back in Mbra. My sojourn in villa ended yestarday....its now business as usual. This mornin i hit the road and got to ma work place..things are pretty "stale" here..i mean the whole zone is deserted..just a few fellas here. Maybe the news that welcomed me.."breaking news" to put it rather differently, is that i will be leaving ma current work to another...........mbu!! Office is rife with rumor i got a new job "somewhere else" and that it is "juicy".....

Ohh ...how i receive that juicy job!! Who doesnt want good things???!!!!!!!!!

As usual, there is a pile of work for me to do here. i guess im goin to have to "hide" away from some people cz i may collapse under the weight of these endless assignments....reports..proposals....

Let me leave it here for now..catcha later on in the day!

Ta-ra!

People!! its been a hectic day for me.Had alot of computer diagnostics and repair work to do.Im not yet done as of now. These machines can at times be the most stubborn things u cd ever come across. And the heavy rain outside aint helpin matters cz i intend to travel back to villa today, that is im in Mbarara as of now. God help me!

Last week was fine..the usual uneventful self..not so much to do. But as i mentioned earlier in previous postings, its best i enjoy the moment while it lasts. Who knows very soon i will be back to the rigours of work. Actually its very soon....most probably next week.

So all is fine save for a chest pain that doesnt wanna let go. I rebuke it in JCs name!

I gues havin lots of free time all by myself has given me opportunity to read iimportant stuff..especially the Bible. There is somethin interesting about God's word...it just doesnt get obsolete. its ever green and every time i read them scriptures no matter hw many times, there is somethin new for me to learn. And the Lrd has spoken to me more clearly as i took time off to understand his will (in his Word) for my life.

Now im planning to get down all that God has to say/is/will be saying by creating a specially dedicated blog to this cause. Im sure you will love it.

Got to get back to work now. Have a great evening. To all those friends of mine out there..wherever u are i appreciate you. And to you that take time to read out ma blog...thanx ...candy kissess n rose flowers for u all!!!

Hello People!! Its '008 n i imagine u are all set for the new year. I certainly wish you the very best God alone can give.

True ive been "outta picture" for a rather long time and i couldnt wait for the opportunity to get back to you. 2007 left so many memories...yes precious memories behind and i can imagine u feel the same way. Will let you "peep" into my highlights of last year very soon. Just take this for trailer!!!!!!!

Im still in villa and Internet on this other side of the world can be so scarce. But thank God for today..i got ma self a connected PC-albeit with a slow speed..any way its high time i stopped complaining!

Got to end it here for today. As u can see im all fired up for the new year and m rearing to go...Bring it on!!!!!
