DON'T TURN ON YOUR TV!!!

I was taking an online survey. they showed me the pic above, and asked me to write a story about it, being as creative as i could be within a limit of 1000 characters and including the points

• What is happening in the picture?
• Why did it happen?
• If you were in that room, looking at the scene, and given one hour, what would you do, and why?

this is what i wrote (with some additional words and punctuation, since on this blog i don't have a character limit):

the picture depicts a teenage girl lying inert in a living-room.

she is lying thus because her soul has been sucked up by the television in her living-room. this is part of an insidious alien invasion. we have not been aware of it, but while we were sleeping last night, aliens switched every tv in our homes with these evil soul-sucking devices. DON'T TURN ON YOUR TV WHEN YOU GO HOME TODAY! not unless you want to suffer the same fate as this poor girl, with your soul trapped in the TV and your house wide open for the aliens to take over.

if i were there, i would get the *toot* out of that room before the TV sucked my soul out too. then i'd turn off the mains, thus deactivating the soul-sucking TV. then i'd get some tools and dismantle the TV, thus hopefully releasing the girl's soul and bringing her back to life. then we'd go on to help others and in the end we'd save the world from the alien invasion.

this might need slightly more than an hour, lol.=D

The End

An Ode to Frodo

To be sung to the tune of the oldie, "Oh Carol"...

Oh Frodo

I am but a fool

Doggy i love you

Though you always drool

You lick me

And you jump around

But if you leave me

I'll be really down

Doggy i enjoy rubbing your belly

Almost as much as you

Though you're sometimes smelly

And i don't like your poo

I will always want you as my doggy

Though you sometimes run away

Oh Frodo

You're my sunny day!

lol! =)

In other news, i have a camp coming up, 30 May-2 June... it's a combined church family camp between 3 churches, and the SU team has been invited to do our Inter-Generational Camp thingy. do pray for me as i prepare sessions and games for this camp.

to end, here's a pic from the last IG Camp we ran (1-3 May). One of the IG games we ran was a station game, and this was the station i was in charge of: Scissors, Paper, Stone, Splash! =)

to know and follow hard after You

Dear Lord,
Please give me one pure and holy passion.
no more foolish passions,
no more misguided passions -
just one pure and holy passion.

Dear Lord,
Please give me one magnificent obsession.
no more self-indulgent obsessions,
no more self-destructive obsessions -
just one magnificent obsession.

Dear Lord,
Please give me one glorious ambition for my life.
no more high-flying ambitions,
no more selfish ambitions -
just one glorious ambition for my life...

To know and follow hard after You.

~{O}~

This prayer was inspired by this song:

.

Give me one pure and holy passion

Give me one magnificent obsession

Give me one glorious ambition for my life

To know and follow hard after You.

.

To know and follow hard after You

To be found as Your disciple in Your truth

This world is empty, pale, and poor

compared to knowing You my Lord

Lead me on and i will run after You

Lead me on and i will run after You.

.

Amen.
