Small Comfort

its some small comfort n fillip 2 my morale dat i scored ok for my 1st real assignment at uni..in dark hours we all need encouragement they say..

75% is not quite e high distinction i was expectin of myself but its somethin dat i believe is a start n which i will build on as a strong foundation..better build on gold n silver rather than hay n straw so e old proverb goes..its a good start (i'll give) but not 1 i'm extremely satisfied with..feel dat i pulled some wool over my lecturer's eyes dis time which i won't escape doin next time..it was above all God's grace which saw mi thru..was expectin a credit onli but aimin for a high D..thanks be to God then..

Uncle Raymond's outa critical condition now even though he had to go into e operatin theatre twice..e second time to stop bleedin in his heart..dat was some relief..he'll be outta action n in recovery for bout 6 months from Monday..he works himself too hard i alwaez tot n needs a good break..Mayb dat was e plan all e time..e gift of perspective...

Thanx Kumu for dat chat yesterday nite..i needed dat opinion n view..i noe wat 2 do n where to go frm here (i hope)..n guess wat e topic for church was 2day man? seein God's glory in our lives as we perservere in faith n hang on to Him..how about dat in e light of wat u told mi happened on e train dat previous week?n e worship centred round e phrase in a song, "Lord, show mi ur glory.."

oh n, its Lent..e season has started..those of us frm e SA who noe wat dis anglican (episcopal here) tradition means n see it in e light of e SAS revival of e 90s with new meanin will fulli appreciate its significance...

so then, we're in e run up 2 e Holy Week again..Palm Sunday, Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursdae, Good Fridae, Limbo Saturday n Easter Sundae..down to e Via Dolorosa n beyond e Tomb..Preparations hav begun..
