Your kingdom come

2009-07-12T22:52:00.006+05:30

Image: Llanfair Uniting Church

Lord God, because Jesus has tought us to trust you in all things,
We hold to his word and share his plea:
YOUR KINGDOM COME, O LORD.

Where nations budget for war, while Christ says,
"Put up your sword":
YOUR KINGDOM COME, O LORD.

Where countries waste food and covet fashion,
While Christ says, "I was hungry...I was thirsty...":
YOUR KINGDOM COME, O LORD.

While powerful governments claim their policies are heaven blessed,
While scripture says that God help the powerless:
YOUR KINGDOM COME, O LORD.

Where Christians seek the kingdom in the shape of their own church,
As if Christ had come to build and not break down barriers:
YOUR KINGDOM COME, O LORD.

Where women who speak up for their dignity
Are treated with scorn or contempt:
YOUR KINGDOM COME, O LORD.

Where men try hard to be tough,
Because they are afraid to be tender:
YOUR KINGDOM COME, O LORD.

Where we, obsessed with being adult,
Forget to become like little children:
YOUR KINGDOM COME, O LORD.

Where our prayer falter,
Our faith weakens, our light grows dim:
YOUR KINGDOM COME, O LORD.

Where Jesus Christ calls us:
YOUR KINGDOM COME, O LORD.

(He tawngtaina ropui tak hi ka phuah a ni hauh lo a nia! Ka kohhran lawina-ah hian Friday prayer kan nei thin a, chuta kan hman thin tawngtaina pakhat a ni a. Tha ka tih em avangin ka rawn chhuah chhawng a ni e)

Weekend at Windermere

2009-04-25T20:34:00.003+05:30

It was a wonderful weekend indeed! There are two reasons why I call it wonderful. First, during the weekend (April, 17-19) we had a Partners' Meeting where a truly fine Christians from different places in England and Wales met together. Besides the courses we have done, the joy and the warmth of fellowship we shared together were wonderful experiences which could never be forgotten. Second, the place where we met, Windermere, was one of England's most popular places for holidays and summer homes!

Here are few of many pictures I would like to share with you. They can also serve as pictorial supplements to Sian's report on Llanfair's Blog.

The Windermere Centre: The place where we stay

A lovely day for a ride!

I was there!

The dock where we docked:)

A perfect place for the swans

Lots of great fun for all ages!

The woods: A cool and refreshing rest, and of course, a wonderful view!

It snowed!

2009-02-14T20:15:00.020+05:30

On February 2, 2009 the heaviest snow to fall for 6 years in UK began to fall. It had been continued for more than a week. The snow caused transport problems in many parts of the United Kingdom, especially in London, where it was the heaviest snow for 18 years.

Some of the British transport websites were brought down by heavy traffic. People calling and texting during the rush hour jammed the mobile telephone networks. 800 flights from Heathrow were cancelled on the first day alone. In many places, schools were closed.

While the snow caused chaos for many people, I took an opportunity to take photos and videos, as usual! Posted in the following are some of the pictures I have taken during the week.

Statues

2008-11-24T01:47:00.013+05:30

I like statues! I have a great admiration to the artists who created them. Whenever you look at statues you can imagine how much they cost the artists to make them. At the same time, they can tell you a good deal about the persons or things they represent. So, whenever I saw statues I tried every possiblity to shoot them. Here are some pictures of the statues which I have taken recently.

Seen at Cardiff Bay: One of my most favourite statues!

Seen near Caerphilly Castle: Tommy Cooper, an Anglo-Welsh prop comedian and magician

Seen at a Shopping Mall in Cardiff: Elvis Presley

Seen on a roadside in Cardiff: No idea about the statue

Seen at Rhondda Heritage Park: I like this too!

Seen at Rhondda Heritage Park: A Painter

Seen at Rhondda Heritage Park: I smiled back at her thinking that it was real!

Let us pray...

2008-11-17T20:27:00.006+05:30

LORD,
May I ever speak
as though it were the last word that I can speak;
May I ever act
as though it were the last action that I can perform;
May I ever suffer
as though it were the last pain that I can offer;
May i ever pray
as though it were for me on earth
the last chance to speak to you.
Prayer of Chiara Lubich, Founder of The Focolare Movement

Penrhys Festival 2008

2008-10-09T01:00:00.005+05:30

Penrhys has a unique story to tell, its significance as a major European spiritual centre stretching way back into the mists of time. But here, I am only concentrating on the festival which I attended last month at Penrhys. 2008 is a very special year for the community of Penrhys. It is the year of the four hundred and seventieth anniversary of the destruction of the Penrhys Shrine and the confiscation and burning of the statue of the Mother and Child; as well as the fortieth birthday of the completion and occupation of the Penrhys Village. To commemorate this, the festival was launched on 30th August, 2008 and culminating on 26th september, 2008.

Since I was privileged to participate in the closing day events of the festival, I would like to share with you some of the pictures I have taken on that day.

A wooden sculpture inaugurated by the Dy. Mayor

Higher up the hill... the new statue of Our Lady (unveiled 1953)

Ffynnon Fair (also: Ffynon Mair), St. Mary's Well, which lies on the hillside

Pavane: Playing their own brand of live early music, including harp, oud, lute, hurdy-gurdy, medieval fiddle, bass viol, recorders, crimhorns, shawm, gemshorns, cornamuse, percussion.

Robin and Bina Williamson: The famous couple performing with a wonderful alchemical blend of harp, fiddle, flute, percussion and evocative East-West harmonies in an inspiring style recently described as 'Indo-Celtic Delta.' I was rather surprised to know that Bina happened to be Punjabi!

Frenetic Engineering Big Fire Show: ...as seen at the Royal Wedding, Cannes Film Festival, Glastonbury Festival, etc.

The Rain

Upon the just and the unjust fellow,

But more upon the just, because

The unjust hath the just's umbrella

We are Really, Really Sorry!

This is a picture of a starving little girl crawling towards the UN Food Camp, located kilometer away: she had collapsed in the bush, and a vulture nearby seemed to be waiting for her to die. This photograph won Kevin Carter the 1994 Pulitzer Prize for feature photography. The story of this picture does not end here. It has a more touching and tragic story to tell.

In 1993, Kevin Carter went to Sudan to capture images of that nation's dismal and unending civil war. Immediately after they landed in the village of Ayod, Carter began snapping photos of famine victims. Seeking relief from the sight of masses of people starving to death, he wandered into the open bush. He heard a soft, high-pitched whimpering and saw a tiny girl trying to make her way to the feeding centre. As he crouched to photograph her, a vulture landed in view.

After he took his photographs, he chased the bird away and watched as the little girl resumed her struggle. Afterwards he sat under a tree for a long time, smoking cigarettes, talked to God, cried, and thought about his own daughter, Megan. He later confided to friends that he wished he had intervened and helped the child. Journalists at the time were supposedly warned never to touch famine victims for fear of disease.

The photograph first appeared in the New York Times on 26 March 1993. Hundreds of people wrote and called the Times asking what had happened to the child. The reaction to the picture was so strong that The New York Times published an unusual editor's note saying the girl had enough strength to walk away from the vulture, but that her ultimate fate was unknown. Papers around the world reproduced the photo, and Kevin had become internationally known for his Pulitzer prizewinning photo.

Meanwhile, others questioned his ethics. The St Petersburg Times remarked, "The man adjusting his lens to take just the right frame of her suffering might just as well be a predator, another vulture on the scene." Even some of Carter's friends wondered aloud why he had not helped the girl.

Two months after receiving his Pulitzer, Carter was found dead of carbon-monoxide poisoning in Johannesburg, a suicide at 33. Portion of his suicide note reads: “I am haunted by the vivid memories of killings & corpses & anger & pain ... of starving and wounded children, of trigger-happy madmen, often police, of killer executioners..." “I'm really, really sorry," he explained, "The pain of life overrides the joy to the point that joy does not exist."

Think about this! About 25,000 people die every day of hunger or hunger-related causes, according to the UN. The WHO estimates that one-third of the world is well-fed, one-third is under-fed, one-third is starving! However, the world can produce enough food to feed its expanding population.

While millions of people are living in extreme poverty and hunger we can spend millions of dollars and pounds on weapons of mass destruction which are actually meant for the destruction of human life. Because of man’s greed, lust for power and money, and cruelty many children, like this sweet little innocent being, are starving to death! While we are enjoying a luxurious and comfortable life, people are struggling so hard for their survival. We let millions of poor beings suffer awfully daily and look the other way. Forgive us Lord. We are really, really sorry!

Jesus Saves!

2007-10-27T18:38:00.000+05:30

I always understood Jesus’ saving activity in terms of rescuing the dying soul, liberating the captives, dying for the sinners who are doomed to hell. In fact, this is - I believe - his ultimate reason for coming into the world. However, as I came across some humorous stories like this, I got another perspective from which I can look at Jesus’ salvific work in a new and different way. The story goes like this:

Jesus and Satan have a discussion as to who is the better programmer. This goes on for a few hours until they come to an agreement to hold a contest, with God as the judge.

They sit themselves at their computers and begin. They type furiously, lines of code streaming up the screen, for several hours straight. Seconds before the end of the competition, a bolt of lightning strikes, taking out the electricity. Moments later, the power is restored, and God announces that the contest is over.

He asks Satan to show what he has come up with. Satan is visibly upset, and cries, "I have nothing. I lost it all when the power went out."

"Very well, then," says God, "let us see if Jesus fared any better."

Jesus enters a command, and the screen comes to life in vivid display, the voices of an angelic choir pour forth from the speakers. Satan is astonished.

He stutters, "B-b-but how? I lost everything, yet Jesus' program is intact. How did he do it?"

God smiled all-knowingly, "Jesus saves."

Moral: In times of emergency, troubles, difficulties and sorrows never forget to remember that you have already been saved in HIS MEMORY. You are saved in him!

Also look at the following pictures:

Satan can no longer score a goal against you, ‘coz Jesus saves!

You Are Unique

2007-10-20T13:02:00.000+05:30

Think what a remarkable, unduplicatable, and miraculous thing it is to be you! Of all the people who have come and gone on the earth, since the beginning of time, not ONE of them is like YOU!
No one who has ever lived or is to come has had your combination of abilities, talents, , friends, acquaintances, burdens, sorrows and opportunities.

No, one's hair grows exactly the way yours does. No one's finger prints are like yours. No one has the same combination of secret inside jokes and family expressions that you know.

The few people who laugh at all the same things you do, don't sneeze the way you do. No one prays about exactly the same concerns as you do. No one is loved by the same combination of people that love you - NO ONE!

No one before, no one to come.

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY UNIQUE!

Enjoy that uniqueness. You do not have to pretend in order to seem more like someone else. You weren't meant to be like someone else. You do not have to lie to conceal the of you that are not like what you see in anyone else.

You were meant to be different. Nowhere ever in all of history will the same things be going in anyone's mind, soul and spirit as are going on in yours right now.

If you did not exist, there would be a hole in creation, a gap in history, something missing from the plan for humankind.

Treasure your uniqueness. It is a gift given only to you. Enjoy it and share it!

No one can reach out to others in the same way that you can. No one can speak your words. No one can convey your meanings. No one can comfort with your kind of comfort. No one can bring your kind of understanding to another person.

No one can be cheerful and lighthearted and joyous in your way. No one can smile your smile. No one else can bring the whole unique impact of you to another human being.

Share your uniqueness. Let it be free to flow out among your family and friends and people you meet in the rush and clutter of living wherever you are. That gift of yourself was given you to enjoy and share. Give yourself away!

See it! Receive it! Let it tickle you! Let it inform you and nudge you and inspire you!

YOU ARE UNIQUE!

My Home Town

2007-10-15T17:44:00.000+05:30

Though I was born at Darlawn I was brought up here in this town - Kawnpui. My family moved from Darlawn to Kawnpui two or three months after I was born. I received my early education in this town. My father once told me that when he got a job in the government in 1973 he was posted to this town by Mr. Ch. Saprawnga (RIP), the then newly elected MLA from Kawnpui constituency, who assured him that this place would become an important place in the future. It's up to you to decide whether Mr. Ch. Saprawnga was right or wrong. Whatever the case may be, I am proud to be the product of this very town.

Kawnpui is situated on the National Highway 54 between Kolasib and Aizawl. It is 54 kilometres north of Aizawl. As of 2001 India census, Kawnpui had a population of 6328. Males constitute 50% of the population and females 50%. It has an average literacy rate of 83%, higher than the national average of 59.5%: male literacy is 84%, and female literacy is 82%. In Kawnpui, 15% of the population is under 6 years of age.

If you come to or come across Kawnpui, visit Chawngthu Store which is just opposite to Kawnpui Bazar. There you will be welcome by my sister who is always there.

To Begin With...

2007-10-13T16:06:00.001+05:30

It began at night on the12th October, 2007. The three of us - me, Peka and Mafela - were sitting in my room browsing through some sites in the internet as we often did. Though it was not an official committee meeting, it really was an important sitting, a milestone, I should say. Mafela suddenly broke the silence saying to me, "Pa Fak, blog chu siam ve tawh la." I have thought about creating a blog long time back, but never attempted to do so. But this time, Mafela's words sounded to me to be a challenge to do something good which I have never tried. And so began the creation of my first blog which was named "youniq."

Three persons are involved in the making of this blog. I feel compelled to give them a place here. They directly or indirectly helped brought "youniq" to exist as it is now.

Mafela: My nephew, a damn smart boy, who never stops longing for more in the infotech world. I remember that, when he was just a little boy, he used to tell people that his "sap hming" was "A Pa Faka." He is the one who told me so many dos and donts about computer. He is also the one who suggested using the name 'unique' for my blog, which I modified it as it is.

Peka: Another nephew of mine. An innocent youngman, who keeps asking me questions as if I am a "Mr-know-it-all!" One thing unique about this guy is that he used to 'spak' unexpected, but interesting words at the 'right' time and at the 'right' place.

The two guys are now living with me making my life worth-living!

Kimi: A really nice gal, whose identity I better hide for the time being for fear of being reacted! She has once said to me, "Hman deuh i la chuan blog siam hi ka chak ngawt mai..." From that time only I just began thinking about creating a blog. I mean, Kimi, you inspire me! Just continue to humour me, ok?

Anyway, I will try my best to make this blog interesting, thought-provoking, challenging and of course, ecumenical. So... what a fun it would be...!
