If you're reading this,
And you would like to read more.
I'm relocating.

I am sorry Lord,
I've been in my will again.
Long for Yours in life.

Live life for Your sake,
Show me how to walk with You
- Honor You only.

With all, seeking You
Let not distractions pull me,
But seek to know You

Praise, glory to You
Let my life be Your pleasure
Your will, not mine, done.

Care for how you act
All relationships matter
Even of strangers


Strangers come and go.
But, true friends stay dear and close
Choose these friends wisely.

Well the joy of the haiku has sorta died down. But Galant, the friend that sort of started the posting of haikus, put up an interesting set of questions today. As requested (ish), posting answers there and here.

1) Meaning(less?)
If you had to devote your life to one quirky and pointless goal, what would it be?

Having some trouble coming up with a truly pointless goal that I would be willing to devote significant time to. But one goal I'd be willing to commit to if I had the time, would be to learn a wide range of languages. While many would find that anything but pointless, I have little to no interest in travelling and seeing the world. So such language skills would see rare if any use in my life.

2) Of Barbies, He-Man and Mr. Meccano
What is/was your favourite toy?

Does a toyset count? I'd probably pick Legos. Of all the toys high- and low-tech, these probably occupied and entertained more of my time whether I was alone or with friends. Even provided some distraction when I was (supposed) to be packing to move, unfortunately much has been lost over the years.

3) The Sweet Smell of...?
Imagine the technology existed which allowed you to not only receive sight and sound via your computer but also smell. What would be the scent of your website - transmitted to all who would visit?

The smell of a forest. The light smell of pine, earth, and fresh (clean), but thinner air. Basically: the pleasant smells you encounter as you hike through a (primarily pine) forest.

Trin

Fallen, bit behind
Probably won't make up missed
Just start up again

One day for one song
Translating love songs, the Psalms,
Into my Haikus

Psalm 6

A sinner, I'm weak
Do not abandon me Lord
Joy found in You, lost

Have mercy on me
Flee from me sins, temptation
Lord has heard my pleas

non-chameleon Invisibilty invented

The sci-fi dream comes
Invisibility soon
Not chameleon based


Regulating paid media

Restricted cable
Should it be policed?
Ted Stevens thinks: Yes!


Rice stands the test of time

Hungry? Take a bite
Of China's Great Wall, of course
Rice subs for mortar

Psalm 5

Hear my voice oh Lord,
To You I pray each morning.
Clean; let me become

The boastful, guilty;
They can not stand before You.
Righteous, let me be.

Psalm 4

Have mercy on me,
Lend strength against temptation
Show me Your safe path.

Psalm 3

Against God's trustees,
They claim, "no help found in God."
Many trouble me

Know no fear of them
For You are a shield for me
I can sleep soundly

Lord strikes ungodly
Protection for all His own
Salvation in Lord!

Psalms 2

Beware the Wicked:
Rulers set up against God,
God's Son rules in end

Earth: inheritance,
Will destroy your rebellion
For all comes from God

Therfore, Love the Son,
Serve the Lord with true respect
Put all trust in Him

more Choicepoint

'Nother class action
This one seems to be deserved
Unknown company

ChoicePoint collects data
Little notice to many
Identities lost

Lots of press, big news,
Congress investigates them
Allowed to exist?


Ads in games

Less watch the TV,
More play today's games instead
Ads migrate to games

Worthy of worry?
Seamless integration, good
Ad overload, bad


Stem cell story

It's controversial,
But stem cell research saves lives
Concerned less for this

Always same worry
Harvesting stems of unborn
From own body, fine.


- Trin

Psalms 1

Winds of temptation
To follow the ungodly
Go where the wind blows

Be firmly planted
Meditate on Word daily
Delight in God's Word

Drink Living Water
Secure in knowledge of Him
Bear 'fruit' in His time


fruit, ref: Galations 5:16-26

Fruits of the Spirit
Show His presence within me
Through loving kindness

Leave the beaten path
Let my feet guide at their will
Perfect summer stroll

Enjoying nature
A hidden lesson is sought:
True lasting beauty

Spied across the field
Beauty dancing in the wind
What is its secret?

A simple flower
Smiles with flowers, wind, and sun
Like others I've seen...

Insight dawns clearly:
It sees not nature about,
Dances all for HIM
