mmm... chicken..

Trying to write an essay without a question is tough work. Sure, it gives more room for interest and creativity… but if you can’t get your parameters clear, it’s just plain frustrating (So says the one who plans to write a 15 000 word honors thesis next year). Life is just so full of painful ironies.

On a lighter note, i had emperor chicken for dinner yesterday. Courtesy of dong. It’s nice to have someone cook dinner for you once in awhile, although it does mean that you’re obliged to wash the dishes… but hey, nothing is free. except maybe the love of Christ :) and i did the rice! we totally cleaned the chicken to the bone. it was deLIcious! yuM!

I was reminded just a few days ago about how out of touch I am with hymns and all the old praise choruses. I opened an old songbook, and realized that I haven’t heard some of these songs in ages. A lot of them are old favourites, and it was like catching up with a long-lost friend. I just sat there for over an hour just flipping through and strumming on my brother’s guitar (which is in need of new strings). I’ve always loved the lyrics of these songs because of their depth of meaning and their comforting melodies – these are the songs of my youth. Haha. that just makes me sound old, but maybe I’m just an oldie at heart.

How can I say thanks
For the things you have done for me
Things so undeserved
Yet You gave to prove your love for me
The voices of a million angels
Could not express my gratitude
All that I am and ever hope to be
I owe it all to thee

To God be the glory, to God be the glory
To God be the glory,For the things
He has doneWith His blood
He has saved meWith
His power He has raised me
To God be the glory,
For the things He has done
