Lord, the sun came up today. Somewhere in the world flowers opened their petals. Birds sing. I thank you for these miracles and the countless more that are happening around the world at this very moment.

Amen.

Here I am at your feet

Crying out to You

Draw me near, hold me close

Lord I wait on You

For you're my greatest love

You're my comforter and strength

You're the First and the Last

You're my guiding light

I will run, I will soar

On eagles' wings

Sejak awal tahun, begitu banyak masalah yang harus dihadapi. Mendengarkan nasehat kawan untuk berolah raga, jadilah saya anggota dari satu club kebugaran di pusat kota ini.

A Prayer

Dear Father in heaven, You are the only Peace and Joy of life.

Dear Lord, I see after my answered prayer, and now I go through it all, my thank you will never enough to go to You. You gave me many colors that I hardly believe can tell.

Berada bersama mereka yang terkena banjir di kali Ciliwung, tidak ada rasa iba seperti yang hadir ketika menonton tv. Berada bersama mereka dan mendengar ceritera mereka menghadirkan rasa marah dan rasa itu meluap sampai-sampai ingin kuteriakkan PINDAH dan JANGAN TINGGAL DI DAERAH ALIRAN KALI.

Aku dalam masalah!

Beperang dengan tidak menyadari keberadaan diri adalah bodoh.

Kemarin telah kuluncurkan sebuah bom ke pihak lawan. 

Kini aku kehilangan kompas.

Lawanku telah memeta 4 titik kelemahanku,.... kini aku gentar.

Sepertinya memang aneh menghadiri natal di pertengahan Januari. Tapi aku tetap menghadirinya, menghormati Kepala Panti Asuhan Hati Suci yang telah bersedia mengundangku.

Dear God,Thank you for knowing me and caring about me.I thank you for loving me so much and still you wanted to make contact with me.Thank you for answering my prayer, and mak

Entering year 2007, where life is a battle, better keep on fighting as putting Jesus as our battle. As Lord Armies, we ought to stand firm, and stand still.

My friend asked me where I am going to in the Christmas Eve. Church is the easy answer. He does not stop his question there only, with your family, relative or friend he continued. With friends.

Kemarin, 16 Des 2006, seusai ibadah perayaan natal di sebuah penjara, panitia berkumpul, bersenda gurau dan berbagi cerita satu sama lain. 

Aku teringat ketika kuliah dalu, sambil menunggu pacar, aku membaca bukunya. Ia sedang membaca buku Sufi entah siapa pengarangnya.

Lord, you are always working on me, shaping me, growing me. As you challenge me, I sometimes feel tense and unsure. I want to remember you during those tense times. Help me to remember that as you encourage me to grow, you are creating greater harmony in my life.

Amen.

Kulihat Ia berjalan

dalam lorong teramat gelap dan penuh derita

Kuteriakkan tanya padaNya

Guru, mengapa Kau lakukan itu?

Mengapa, Guru?

Ia menoleh Kebelakang

Kulihat segores senyum amat menawan dari wajahNya yang mengenaskan

Dan kudengar jawabNya,

Hanya untukmu, Nak,!
