And all that is within

I'm laying it all down

For the sake of you my king

Happy New year

2 Corinthians 5: 15-17

"and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf.

Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer.

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come."

Oh my chains,

I can't disengage,

I don't believe that I want to,

One hand sings your praise, the other brings me shame,

I have selfishness to blame...

And I'm singing for freedom,

I know I'm not the only one praying to the one,

Who can bring me this freedom,

I'm ready for change, change, change, change...

Looking down I lay,

I keep holding my chains,

No longer bound but here I stay,

I scream father please,

I need rescuing,

I need you and you alone...

And I'm singing for freedom,

I know I'm not the only one praying to the one,

Who can bring me this freedom,

I'm ready for, I'm ready for...

Still you patiently await yet I won't just let go,

I see you and you alone,

Say come follow me cause there is you can't see

So I'm singing for freedom,

So I'm singing for freedom...

The time has come-separation lost the war to love,

Take my hand, grace is found-yeah-where your words begin,

You're alive, you're alive,

In the waking of new life,

Take my hand, in the end there's only love...

(Ooooo) there's only love (oooo)

There's only singing for freedom,

I know I'm not the only one praying to the one,

Who can bring me this freedom,

I'm ready for, I'm ready for-

Father please, I need rescuing, I need you and you alone..."

My other resolution, is to surrender my life everyday for Jesus. Thank you Run Kid Run for inspiration.

Surrender @ Encore.

Nice atmosphere poolside.

Unfortunately, it was pretty slim picking in terms of guys :(

There were some Asian guys who were alll wearing black and I asked them if they just came from a funeral.

They played techno music the whole night, which is okay, but it felt like I was at the gym! LOL

Ah, good times...

Surrender?

SARAH'S SURRENDER

John Garrett stuffed his checkbook in the back pocket of his jeans and turned and walked away from the school administrator. He swore to God, the next person who asked him for money was going to feel the brunt of his fury and aggravation. Impatience caused an added spike to his already soaring temper.

Did the good people of Duluth, Texas believe he wasn't already sharing his wealth? Did they think he kept his millions to himself and never supported even the smallest charity? He gave all right, and very generously so.

But evidently, it wasn't enough and the populace of the town was alwaysing up with new and better ways to spend his money. Just this month alone, he had paid for a new cafeteria for the local Baptist church. A church into which he'd never set foot, and never planned on setting foot, either. He'd funded a new wing of private rooms at the clinic that would raise the level of continuing care to that of a small hospital. And just this morning, he'd written a check big enough to supply every student in the school district with the latest iPad.

What he needed to do, and do quickly, was set up a foundation for the people of the county and hire someonepetent to run it, thereby leaving him alone and keeping his interaction with the people to a minimum.

He fully admitted to himself that he was unsocial. He flat-out didn't enjoy people. Didn't care for large crowds, didn't like small talk of any kind.

He kept to himself for the most part. His housekeeper bought his groceries; he did all his banking online. He was a loner, and he liked it that way.

He had one reason to seek outpany, and one reason only. And that was for sex. If he didn't have such a rampant sex drive, he'd probably never even feel the need to leave the ranch.

But he'd always had a very...

1973, An Israeli officer saluts ,surrenders to an Egyptian commander and hands him his Israeli flag after his post was overrun by Egyptian troops.

Surrender took place in the presence of international red cross, a privilage Egyptian POWs never had, they were either shot in heads or beeing forced to lay on sand were a tank runs over them. all by direct orders from the very civlized Harvard graduated Israeli officers.

My original idea for this was to place it all on a coloured collage background but by the time I got this far I found it wanted to stay black and white.

I am not really the boss here. I'm just the conduit.

Father, I surrender to Your will.

PhotoSketches of the Bruce - A series of images depicting scenes on the Bruce Peninsula, processed to simulate sketches.

Unconditional Surrender is one of several duplicate statues built by Seward Johnson, first in 2005 for Sarasota, Florida. Based on the photograph of the same name taken by Victor Jorgensen at the end of WWII, it has the same scene as the more famous V–J day in Times Square by the same photographer, the difference being Unconditional Surrender is in the public domain. The statue immediately ran into controversy, with many criticizing its kitsch, though it proved popular with tourists. In 2007 the statue was moved to San Diego where it immediate ran into the same controversies and mixed popularity. In 2012 the statue was replaced by one in bronze, an action that also led to the resignation of three members of the San Diego Unified Port District. Sitting in front of the USS Midway, the statue has again proved popular with tourists, many of whom replicate the kiss or look up the woman's skirt.

Additional statues have been erected in Hamilton, New Jersey, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and Caen, France, where it again faced mixed reviews.

Drawn for Illustration Friday, the word this week was "Surrender". This word was a funny one to do. I thought for a long time about what would be an appropriate image to suit it. The few things that went around in my mind were:

1. Something sensual and passionate

2. Something to do with the military/police

3. Something symbolic, and tragically emotional

None of these things appealed to me though, and i was at a loss until i decided, for old times sake, to listen to some obnoxious boy-band music. The song "My Alien" from Simple Plan inspired me to draw this, particularly the line "Please take me to your leader. Tell her I will surrender." So, a cute-sy picture for a cute-sy song :3

Here's if you want to have a listen to the song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gHUwWGD-_Q

I exist. It is soft, so soft, so slow. And light: it seems as though it suspends in the air. It moves.

“I do not take any pain killers. I surrender myself to the Goddess, and she takes care of me. I have been performing Kaavadi ever since I was 6 year old. I have decided to continue with this ritual” shares Sadaiyan Muththuveeran (54) while hanging on hooks in Bambalapitty.

24th Annual Chariot festival of Sri Mayurapathy Paththirakaali temple is held today (6th of August 2011) in Colombo amidst heavy downpour. Five wooden carved chariots parade through the streets of Bambalapitty (Colombo 04), Havelock Town (Colombo 05) and Wellawatte (Colombo 06).

Devotees dressed elegantly and took part in religious rituals such as carrying clay pots of camphor, rolling themselves on the ground, smashing coconuts and hanging on hooks (Kaavadi ~ Men only). Few devotees who fulfill their vows, got into trance and danced on the streets. Devotional songs played throughout the dazzling parade. Traditional and non ~ traditional musical instruments added colour to the festival.
