Sunday's Homily

22We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.
23Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.
24For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has?
25But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
26In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.
27And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.

Fun and Games - 3

Okay, so Volly ball practice got cancelled becuase no one showed up :( But, my sister and her freind decided to grab something to eat from Moe's and head out to the beach for a walk. It was very soothing and fun. I got a chance to call my uncle Sandip and heard about great miracles the Lord is performing in people's lives! We prayed together. It was awesome! Okay, I am going to watch '3 walls' an idian movie recommended by a freind and doze off - laterssss.

An inconvenient truth - Climate Crisis

I just watched former Vice President, Al Gore's, documentary on Global Warming. Eye-opening! I am moved by it. I don't need time to take a second breath in order to believe any of the facts discussed in the documentary. Pollution is all around us! Globalization, Industrialization, Economies are to blame? Well, we won't have an earth to make money on if the way we are living - continues. If we study the history of earth and life upon it, we will find that everything around us has evolved. The consequences of Global Warming will be catastrophic, however, the earth will evolve. Life will still exist in a new manner different than ever before. But, we should not let it happen if WE CAN DO SOMETHING about it. That is one of the messages put across in the DVD.
I want to list all the reasons how Global Warming has and will effect us, however, I'd rather shed some light on how to become part of the solution rather then reiterating the problem. Please visit www.climatecrisis.net to learn about some simple things we can do to prevent further deterioration of our climate. Some things which I will do to help:

1. Recycle
2. Use energy saving appliances: I already switched 3/4 of the light bulbs in my house to energy saver bulbs. Next is to question FPL if they can provide Green Energy.
3. In the future buy a hybrid car.
4. Concur and voice my opinion when asked by government or when need to sign a petition or request support for a bill to pass in support of reducing Global Warming.
5. Use paper instead of plastic when you go grocery shopping.

Thanks for reading,

~ My 25th B-day ~

So, here is how the day went by...My 25th birthday...The silver jubilee of the life of Sadfeen Naimat. I started the day with lots of birthday wishes from mi familia and a prayer by my Dad. Previous to that my big bro took me out to dinner on Friday night to Stir Crazy and then to Cheesecake where we had, you guessed it, Cheesecake, ohhhh, the strawberry cheesecake was heavenly! It was a very nice evening out. Back to today, woke up at 11:30 am, had breakfast, ran some errands came home watched DeJa Vu (okay movie) had Biryani, slept for a little while. Oh, also took the interview of my brother and sisters inquiring about what they were doing on their 25th b-day...lets keep the findings to me ;) ... Woke up, with my Mum I went on a drive, we went to Church where I prayed at the chappel which was very soothing :) I loved it. Then we went to the beach spend a little time there and then we went and picked up my cake from the fabulous King's bakery. By this time the whole family got together and we sang a couple of Psalms 134 and 111. My dad read a passage from the new testament at my request from the book of Collosians 3: 12-18 or 20 the whole chapter is great. It defines me and I pray it continues to do so with Jesus' help and God's will. Dad said a beautifull prayer for me.
I had dinner and watched another movie. All in all it was a nice day. I pray that God Blesses me even more each day. I pray that Jesus is always there with me. I pray I feel His existence in my life more powerfully than ever!!! Remember; Jesus Loves You!

My 25th B-day - Thanks to God :)

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7)

Fun and Games - 2

Volly ball is back! Sri I miss you here at the court!! You would'nt play but be there for fun :) Rosie is so gooood and so is Michelle. I improved my serve drastically. This time I was not very scared of the ball. Note to self; when ball is above shoulder push it up/away and when below should level pick it up with arms! that sounds eazy but it takes lots of practice. Anyways, I am not so sore this time around :) We had a really good Chocolate Zocotto cake at the office for my Bosses B-day. Nice! I really hope my peeps are doing something special for my b-day coming up on cinco de mayo. I am eating pizza :( which will off-set any workout achieved by playing Volly ball for three hours!! No worries though.
Watched Blood Diamond...WoW...what a great movie. Memorable scenes:
Vandy getting through to his son when he points the gun at Archer ( Hot Hot DiCaprio !!!! ) after finding the diamond. Also, when Archer( Hot Hot DiCaprio !!!! ) calls up his journalist friend when he is dying :( So Sweeeet .
Alright, I am going to get Netflix back I miss it. New documentaries to watch:
Blood Diamond 2007 documentary and Jesus camp (Recomended by Puneesh).
