july 2010

this year has been long awaited. we've had the africa cup of nations, the FIFA World cup in Africa and me writing this blog.. more to talk to myself than anything, the love of Naruto has grown and will stay, Bleach has taken an up run in the rankings of good tv for me not to forget the FBI were here last week....!!!!hmm
the year has been good.

this month saw my Spanish dudes of the game win the cup with that phenomenal win against Germany and then as you know the win against Netherlands.

July 11th: the blasts in Kampala. tragic.. shocking, infuriating and very very frightening. i watched in horror, as did others, the next morning's breaking news on television. people had died!!! lots of people. they didn't know who had killed them and he had no clue of who they were, who loved them and who would suffer the consequence of their actions.
nonetheless these people sent our brothers home in this violent burst and dug into our minds with fear of one another and reminded us that " our lives are not our own." that someone somewhere can snuff out our light and dim the hopes of those we loved. that we are helpless mortals and things are not as much in our control as would be suggested to comfort us.
those hands of hatred or warning or whatever they think they thought was a justification for their action were perhaps not the hand of God nor the work of evil refugees.
i really abhor the manner in which the people of Uganda were so quick to point a finger at the minority people who had come here only to steal a piece of peace from here. you know people who would not be alive had this country of ours not been here.
it reminded me however of this very often forgotten fact: i can all end now.
Yes it might end in a Boom or a smashing of a car or a sweet silent theft by death. the curtain falls, the trap door spider may just pull you in!
so more than ever are u ready to go today. Pray for the grieving but pray for the souls of our nation that men shall seek God and perhaps find him and be redeemed that they may not die but pass from this life and into the life that comes after this.

July 11th. May all those who died rest in Peace. and may those who remained behind be comforted and devote themselves to the one who is God over even death.
