Shine for Singapore NDP 08

Have you seen a star,
One that guides you no matter where you are?
However vast the sky may be
Or dark it seems
You can be sure,its always there for you and me

Have you heard a song,
One that moved you, one that made you sing along?
Your dreams and hopes will all come true
If you believe that every vision begins with you.

*Shine for Singapore
This is your song
Deep inside your heart where it belongs
It'll always stay, strive for your goals.
You will achieve with visions so bold.

#Shine for Singapore
This is our song
Reach out for the sky, far and beyond
As one we'll stand, we're Singapore
It's here that we belong

Have you heard a song
One that moved you, one that made you sing along?
Your dreams and hopes will all come true
If you believe that every vision begins with you.

Nowhere I'd rather be, this is home to me
This star shines strong and free

choices...

Posted by ver0n1c4 at 03:25 PM on August 14, 2008.

in this life, we don't get along with everyone. sometimes people we get along with get along with people we don't. and sometimes they don't get along with people we are good with. is life always about making choices?

it would be nice if we can have same set of friends forever. but people do change. they come and leave. and maybe one day we will be the one who will leave too...

Stray Star

Posted by ver0n1c4 at 05:44 AM on August 16, 2008.

Luke 15:20 "His father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him."

The newspaper headline announced: "Young star pulled by wrong crowd may be destined to stray forever." The article wasn't about a promising Hollywood actor or pop musician whose personal life was disintegrating. This star was of the outer-space variety.

Known to astronomers as Tauri Sb, the relatively small star (20 percent of the mass of our sun) has been part of a four-star family. For 20 years, researchers have been watching its movements. They noticed that the small star was drawn toward a larger pair, coming close enough so that as it passed them, Tauri Sb doubled its speed and shot off away from its original solar family. It looks like Tauri Sb will end up wandering through space.

What happens in outer space is similar to what happens to people on our little planet. Like the young son in the parable, a person pursues bad relationships and wanders far from home. That "home" may be a family, a church, or friends. It also usually means wandering away from God. And it's all too easy to find "friends" who will encourage the wanderer to keep going.

The big difference between Tauri Sb and the prodigal in Jesus'parable is that the star, if it even turns back home, will be in an orbit far distant from its original relationship to its family. But the young son came back - back to his father's open arms.

The same can be true for you and me if we have allowed ourselves to be pulled away from a close relationship with God. We don't have to wonder if the Lord wants us back - He does. We don't have to wait light-years to repair out relationship -  He wants us back right away.

Once you were like sheep who wandered away. But now you have turned to your Shepherd, the Guardian of your souls (1 Peter 2:25)
