Power Rangers do you remember the super robot TETANUS in Power Rangers that appears after all the other smaller weaker robyots cannot make it???! Now i know why they called it tetanus!!! .. cos its the mega power as opposed to smaller twitches!!! AHAHAHAHA

Joy is more than just happiness. i believe that you can find joy in suffering because joy isn't just feeling happy based on the situation that youre in, its a deeper understanding and appreciation of situation. for example, i dont think that marathon runners feel happiness when theyre physically exhausted after miles and miles of running. yet they perserver because they find joy in their accomplishment. likewise, i dont think i feel very happy when im sitting on my ass exercising my brain for hours on end..i believe the thing that keeps me going is the joy i feel when i find understanding and revelation in what i learn.. you know like how when you study and suddenly all the blurred diagrams and scribbles on your notes suddenly make sense and you understand why Ca2+ makes your muscles contract!!! its so exciting! hahah.. i think im very blessed to be doing something that i believe in. i guess not everyone gets this privilege.. conviction in something really helps you to feel joy knowing the journey is necessary for the end result when there is little happiness during the journey itself.. Thing of the day!!!~ verse: "That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day" -2 Timothy 1:12 this verse isnt supposed to back up whatever i say or used as a biblical reference for what ive said..but its been the inspiration for what i feel is an understand of an aspect of life..Paul the apostle wrote this during his last days in prison just before he was going to be excuted and he was an extremely faithful servent of Christ Jesus.. i dont think i can use the words "I am not ashamed" to infer that he was joyful to suffer but i do think that after studying 2 Timothy and examing the things he wrote, you would come to believe that he did indeed feel joy while doing the work of God.

it just got colder in melbourne. =( there is no thing of the day.
