I began to try cartoon strips to communicate my thoughts after I heard a talk by Dr Calvin Chong from Singapore Bible College on the use of Web 2.0. We need to keep using creative ways to communicate God’s truth and though not all may choose this particular way, there is no harm in a bit of exploration and experimentation, as I have done here. Looks like I need to ask my friend Vee to help format the strip within the space.
Looks like my predictions at last has two on target and two misses. Man City and Man Utd were rightly placed first and second in my prediction. I expected Chelsea with Torres in form to be in the third place but it was not so. I expected Arsenal in fourth but they surprisingly came in third. Tottenham did better then expected, and Newcastle and Wigan and Swansea were the surprise packages.
This was truly the most exciting EPL season in decades. It was so surprising and unbelievable it almost seemed staged by Asian bookies or Middle Eastern oil money. The Queen Park Rangers taking the lead is fairy tale. Even more incredible the two goals in injury time! What if Barton had not been sent off? The drama on the faces of Man City and Utd fans over the game beamed live simultaneously are all good TV suspense and emo swings. Even the Arsenal’s 3rd place seemed oddly suspicious with the last moment replacement of experienced goalkeeper Ben Foster with his number 2. No wonder all the money and eyeballs are on EPL: it is still the most engrossing, watchable football circus in the world.
Good to know that Mr Air Asia managed to keep Queen’s Park Rangers up for another season.
Like funeral clothes discarded
This crimson red misery
Stained with tears and fears of a faltering hope.
Eleven atheletes in disarray
Pacing up and down, back and forth
Kicking and flicking
To patch together a win
Perhaps a point.
Red-faced over one who has ears only
For Gallic style and ideals
For the beautiful game
That the feet and hearts of boys
From many nations
Cannot carry nor hoist
With honours
For the season ends too soon
Too soon.
Before the curtains fall
And the sea is no more
May my eyes behold the glory of the Lord
Wash over the peoples of the earth
And may the colors of his love
Reveal the liberty of sons and daughters
What a sight
What a delight
When earth is shaken
And heaven’s perfections
Restores the garden of the Lord and
Life reigns supreme from the center again.
(Poem composed during the time of waiting on God at the Pastors’ Prayer Summit 2012 at Malacca)
