Men Of Honour
Whew, I just had Band of Brothers DVD marathon.
The DVD was sort of borrowed from a cousin a year ago, and then I had to return it to her tomorrow night, so I'm rushing through all these discs. Blame myself for always procrastinating on actually watching them. I guess I won't be finishing the entire series by then. (6 DVDs, 2 episodes each, 1 episode 1 hr+) I know I can't.
Whatever the case. Band Of Brothers ROCKS. Just because it's a show about men of honour, justice, and loyalty. The guys in the show are always standing out for their friends, putting their lives out on the front, and grow to become even more rigid in the midst of battle. And that's difficult - to give out so much and have your life at stake. Imagine about 70 years ago, boys as young as 16 going out for war. I will freak out if I was one of them. But the responsibilities of a man, to his nation, his family, and to God is nothing less than giving 100%. It's all about the GLORY AND HONOUR! For God!
Okay. I'm being a little too chauvinistic here.
Crap, not finishing the series is torturous! I'll go see if the DVD set is affordable. If it is, I'm gonna lay my hands on a copy. It's too breathtaking to just let go of Band of Brothers just like that.
CNY has been pretty boring so far. My Dad hasn't brought us to go visit more relatives (except the ones we MUST visit) this year. He's busy with work... its CNY, everyone's suddenly taking airplanes back to their mother countries for their reunion dinners. So he's gotta work extra-time to dish out those food that you eat on airplanes. This is especially so since we had the heavy inflow of China-people.
I'll go back to sleep.
Quote from a random site:
"I think a lot of Christians get stuck in a cycle of sinning, repenting, trying to live right, falling into sin, repenting in guilt and so on. It's a nasty, horrible cycle that feeds on itself. While our churches often teach a bit of grace, too often we live by the law and not by the grace we proclaim. I know that even as I marveled at God's grace, I found myself trying to be victorious over my sin so that I could feel more "worthy" of His love. Slowly I'm learning that will never happen. "
Funny how we all humans are like that. Go figure the quote. If you would reply this post about your feelings it would be even better. :]
