Flying Eagle

When the eaglet flew, parents can only watch from afar. Praying he will fly well, fly high and fly with the wind. Many decisions will be made by the new flying eagle. Daily routine and disciplines will be his own choice. All the years of nestling at home will be tested. Now he has to decide how high and how far he wants to fly.

When parents see good results, they cannot take too much credit for it. It is God's grace. Parents can only stand in amazement at their offsprings' achievements. The greater the success, the greater will be the wonder and joy for the parents. We can only continue to cheer them on and hope and pray for their journey to be in step with God. When there is danger we warn. When there is injury we point towards God's healings. When there is great results and rewards, may they remember God's favour.

Surprise Blessing

When we received something you never expect, we will be surprised right? That is what we usually react, especially birthday parties thrown unexpectedly. Having gone through so many, we can more or less expect it when our birthday comes around. The element of surprise is no longer a novelty.

However when your son decide to give you something never expected, it is a blessing beyond words. It happened to me last month when my second son came home for his semester break and gave us a sum of money from his scholarship allowance. It was a surprise blessing. I never expected, not until he started to work that is. He caught us by surprise. It was a wonderful blessing. God be praised for He has done wonderful things.

Eggs

I have said before, and I say it again.

Eggs are great and they do not cause health problems.

BBC , Times and many othe reports quotes British Nutrition Foundations and British Heart Foundation as confirming it.

I love eggs, and therefore it is good news for me. :)

Cricket Anyone?


No not this type! Its the game where 22 men played in whites under the midday sun, where they stop for tea and lunch.

Here is a tea towel explanation for cricket, the game:












The Ashes Cricket series between England and Aussieland can be a great spectacle. For the last decade and a half, the Aussies were so dominant that any test between the two would have been a foregone conclusion. This year England has somehow got together a good team to give Ozland a fight. The series of 5 five-days test matches is now at the final test. It is finely poised.
England is leading 2-1 with one draw. England will get the urn if they win or draw. Ozland needs to win to retain the ashes-in-a-urn trophy.
Suddenly cricket has drawn much greater crowds and passions then football to the consternation of both the football authorities as well as the cricket circles. Football because it has drawn away crowds and attention. Cricket because the rowdy crowds are not the cup of tea for the stiff upper lips of those who like their game gentlemanly and with supposedly good sportsmanship and genteel clapping.

Check this and this out if you are interested... which is unlikely for most ;p

Test cricket is one of the most unusual sports. It could be very exciting and nervy or it could be very boring.
