It's Alright Now


I saw a damsel walking by
I smiled and said hello
She sneered and gave me nasty look
And then walked away
But its alright now
I guess my lesson's learnt
Not every girl wants to be friends
Not every story happily ends

I saw a fine girl walking by
She smiled and I said hi
We spent the evening writing poems
Singing as we went
So am alright now
I guess my lesson's learnt
As there are red and blue flames
Not every girl is the same

I've seen the heights of life
I've also seen the other side
Be nice to everyone you meet
Be nice to the cat on the street
But it's alright now
I guess my lesson's learnt
Not everything is as it seems
Not everything is as we see

I wrote a poem late last night
Because I couldn't sleep
I worried if it made any sense
Or if it was just dense
But it's alright now
I guess my lesson's learnt
You can't please everyone
I write to be at peace with myself

God's grace, subway surfers: what's the connection?

I was in church yesterday for Bible study and it was so awesome I had to share. We studied God's grace which in Greek is Charis. Let me digress. I am a big fan of the game subway surfers and I have a score of about 255k to show for the countless hours I have put into the game. When I first launched the game a friend told me his highest score was about 80k, he further told me that he'd seen folks with scores in millions. My ultimate goal then became having a score of at least 300k. It seemed like a tall order. However with time I realised that there were boosts (like surfboards, score boosters, magnets and power ups) and aids to help me achieve my goal. The more I ran, the more boosts I gathered,  the easier the game became and the higher my scores climbed. Now this post ain't entirely about subway surfers. Its also about God's grace. God's grace to us can be defined as the unmerited favor and support God bequeathed upon us. Titus 2:11,12 I paraphrase: The grace ...
