just got to know tonight that two people i know are exploring. hahaha. somehow i feel very happy for them :X
the brother was caught by us 'cos we saw something he bought. hohoho :X
okie :)
at any rate, i dunno why i feel so happy knowing tt they're together :X hahaa. maybe 'cos it's been a year and a half since i thought tt they'll make a nice couple :X
haha :) ah well :)
went to campus crusade bookstore recently to do some exchanging of bible thing :) and saw some lifeguides (bible study books) which looked pretty interesting :D i got psalms, spiritual disciplines and parables. quite ex though >_< was reading the one on psalms and found it interesting!
it says tt we have to keep in mind that the Psalms are poetry and the Psalms are prayers.. and went on to expound a little on its significance to us.. that how psalms being poetry use words to drag us into reality itself.. that it is a language that gets at the heart of existence, and that in Psalms we can expect to find, exposed and sharpened, what it means to be human beings before God.
Psalms being prayer means it's a language used in relation to God. we don't learn the Psalms till we are praying them.
which i think was an interesting perspective to me.. 'cos i've always used Psalms to describe my emotions and feelings, to pray to God using these words when i am (usually in times of anguish) wordless. but the poetry aspect reminds me that even as i pray psalms, i deal with my actual humanity as well. the guilt, the bitterness, the joy, the exhilaration.
