Does a flower need contrition? Why not? Because it is being what it was created to be. Why do I feel a need for repentance? Why does anyone? We are created like the flower and there is a natural ideal which we can gauge all our behavior. Do we live up to this ideal? If we don’t, I suspect we are not living up to the ideal planted deep within our hearts.
Why has humanity been burdened with this freedom to live or not live up to our “best” selves? We are aware of its affects. When we are conscience of this ideal, we know that to choose less than our ideal shall create undesired consequences-regardless of our beliefs.

Events held during Holy Week in Quito include a procession in which hundreds of sinners called "Cucuruchos" walk across the Old Town streets dressed with purple garments that represent their repentance. As a demonstration of faith, some of them carry heavy wooden crosses or walk barefoot on hot asphalt during the entire journey.

Last weekend we made a trip down to the Pudu Prison in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. The 115 year old prison is to be demolished to make way for an urban redevelopment project. This is an attempt to document the untold stories behind the walls that have imprisoned the notorious criminals including the infamous Botak Chin.
Seeing the insides of the famous prison, I could feel a vast array of emotions. The atmosphere within these walls breathes trails of regrets, repentance, anger, sadness, loneliness, love etc.
May the lost souls of Pudu Prison rest in peace. Al Fatihah.

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me & I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. If a man does not abide in me, he is cast forth as a branch & withers & the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire and burned.” John 15:5-6
MEDITATION
“…How can we cooperate with the Lord’s pruning? Sometimes it’s helpful to reflect on whether we have become too set in our habits or ways of thinking. Maybe we tend to respond to challenges too defensively. Maybe we need to reexamine our priorities. Or perhaps we have other blind spots. If you see anything like this, simply ask the Spirit, “Is this an opportunity for me to be pruned?”
“If the answer is yes, we can turn to the Lord in repentance. Then we can give him permission to gently cut away the tangled vines in our lives that are blocking the flow of his life.
“There’s no doubt that the experience of pruning can be painful. Yet we can trust that our faithful and loving Lord knows exactly what he’s doing. He will stay close to us as he prunes us and helps us to bear fruit in every area of our lives.”
PRAYER
“Lord Jesus, I trust that you will cleanse and prune me so that I can bear fruit for you!”

“The Kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out at dawn to hire laborers for his vineyard…” Matthew 20:1
MEDITATION
“God is generous and gives us work for His kingdom…
God is generous in opening the doors of His kingdom to all who will enter, both those who have labored a life-time for Him and those who come at the last hour. While the reward is the same, the motive for one's labor can make all the difference. Some work only for reward. They will only put in as much effort as they think they will get back. Others labor out of Love and Joy for the opportunity to work and to Serve others. The Lord Jesus calls each one of us to Serve God and His kingdom with Joy and Zeal and to Serve our neighbor with a generous spirit as well.
“Empowered to serve with a joyful and generous spirit…
The Lord Jesus wants to fill each one of us with the power and strength of the Holy Spirit so we can bear great fruit for God's kingdom (the fruit of Peace, Joy, Righteousness, and Love) and also bring the fruit of His kingdom to our neighbor as well. We labor for the Lord to bring Him Praise, Honor, and Glory. And we labor for our neighbor for their welfare with the same spirit of Loving-Kindness and Compassion which the Lord has shown to us.
“Paul the Apostle reminds us, ‘Whatever your task, work heartily, as serving the Lord and not others, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward - you are serving the Lord Christ’ (Colossians 3:23-24). Do you perform your daily tasks and responsibilities with cheerfulness and diligence for the Lord's sake? And do you give generously to others, especially to those in need of your care and support?”
PRAYER
"Lord Jesus, fill me with Your Holy Spirit that I may Serve You Joyfully and Serve my neighbor willingly with a generous heart, not looking for how much I can get, but rather looking for how much I can give."

Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Jordan year 1997. Born in Bapouantou-Cameroon July,24/1967, Djapi was but thirty years old (30), when arrived in Jordan (97). Visiting the well known Cesar Place in Jordan, where the history of the Bible [Pilate-Cesar,etc...]. Religious Environment and Place,"GREATLY and HIGHLY INSPIRED, CONTEMPLATING-MEDITATING-LOOKING-SEEING-WATCHING THE SPIRITUAL TOURISTIC PLACE, Djapi THOUGHT OF CONQUERING THE WHOLLE OF THE WORLD, BUT IN PRAYER". THE QUESTION WAS BUT WHY?,WHEN?,WHERE?and HOW?. ONLY ALLAH/GOD KNEW. AT 30 years old, Djapi SITILL NEVER ACHIEVED NOTHING, HENCE ALL OF Djapi'S CONSTANT and PERMANENT EFFORTS and TRIALS WENT IN VAIN, THEREFORE, THE DAY IT WILL BE, MAY ALLAH/GOD MAKE IT ABOVE-BEYONG-OVER ANY and EACH and EVERYTHING THAT EXISTS. Djapi HAD BUT RECEIVED SPIRITUAL LIFE{(Q:7:203),(Q:32:9)}+SPIRITUAL LIGHT {(Q:24:35),(Q:6:122)}, BROUGHT UNTO Djapi BY THE "BLESSED DREAM OF ARCH-ANGEL GABRIEL POSTURE STAGE (Q:7:206)", WHEN Djapi WAS BUT (29 years old). Djapi ON THE VERY DIFFICULT LONG JOURNEY DESTINY ROAD ENTIRELY-COMPLETELY-TOTALLY IGNORED ABOUT SPIRITUALLITIES, BUT AT SAME TIMES, AIMING and ACHIEVING SPIRITUAL DEEDS ALONG THE WAY. IT IS SOMETHING ENIGMATIC-METAPHYSICAL-MARVELLOUS-MIRACULOUS-MYSTERIOUS-WONDERFUL THE "WORKING OF ALLAH/GOD'S GRACE and MERCY". Djapi THOUGH HAVING NOTHING, BUT ASKING-REQUESTING-PRAYING FOR THAT "META".
(Q:9:52) Say: "Can you expect for us
(Any fate) other than one
Of two glorious things-
(Martyrdom or Victory)?
But we can expect for you
Either that Allah will send
His punishment from HIM
Or by our hands. So wait
(Expectant); we too
Will wait with you."*
Will wait with you: THE WAITING of the Unbelievers AND THAT OF THE BELIEVERS ARE IN DIFFERENT SENSES. The Unbelievers wish for Disaster TO THE BELIEVERS, BUT THE BELIEVERS "WILL EITHERCONQUER or DIE AS MARTYR IN THE CAUSE, IN EITHER CASE HAPPY IN THE ISSUE". THE BELIEVERS EXPECT punishment for the Unbelievers for their infidelity, either through their own instrumentality, or IN SOME OTHER WAY IN ALLAH'S PLAN, and the Unbelievers would not like it in either case (Q:6:158).

My BLIND O.C. formerly villianess Bianca V in Samurai Warriors 4. Bianca's blindness origins was inspired from the '89 movie BLIND FURY. The difference between Nick Parker and Bianca is Bianca ALLOWS herself to be blind as repentance for her past deeds. She is one of many of my disabled charas.
This was the first church baptism post COVID. so much going on in this picture. I love to see the lifeguards on the slide watching.
I'm hardly a religious person, so climbing Mount Sinai had no special meaning to me like it does to many other Christians. But the sheer hard work of getting up there in subzero temperature (actually, more work required when coming down the 3,750 Steps of Repentance <- I kid you not)....
And seeing this magnificent sunrise while perched on a cliff's edge, huddled in our sleeping bags to keep warm was one helluva experience.
Thanks for the light, Egypt - I'm having massively nostalgic feelings of the days of being on the road but strangely enough, I don't crave to be away at this moment. The time in this amazing country would be something I hold very very dear to my heart for this lifetime.
