"Life is too short to stress."

In this column my aim will be to give a quick overview of top sporting news like never covered before. I will examine all sporting issues that tickle the mind, from chess to curling...It should be very interesting to say the least, as I have always wanted to be a sports reporter [lol], yes, I am passionate about sports. Guess what, this year is the 2010 World Cup and Commonwealth Games, whoopee..It should be lots of funs for me....
In this section I will examine some of the words which stimulate my mind daily, monthly, yearly. Though the thoughts may seem to be relevant for one period in time, you may be shocked to know that a lot of my words have been written over a 15 year period. Poetry writing for me started some 21 years ago. In that time I have written over 2,000 poems, some of which have never been featured on these pages. You will be able to further stare into my mind, which at times is covered in pain, grief and happiness. All of us at different stages in life experience these thoughts, its just that we never document them, but we all feel the same at some point. Life is poetry in motion, each step is a journey to a new word, before the journey ends a sentence is formed, and the journey starts again......
In this upcoming feature I will examine books which I have read recently and give a brief synopsis of their content. The first of the many books I would like to focus on is, Hannibal: Enemy of Rome. In the next 4 weeks I will provide you with some astonishing history on Hannibal as never before revealed. Many persons may not even know who Hannibal is, but trust me, after this review you will want to know more and more...
With the new year comes big possibilities in the different financial markets. As oil and gold prices continue to rise, the opportunities for big gains become evident. In this upcoming column I will focus on some investment opportunities for 2010. I will provide some practical plans to make safe money, bearing in mind that the recession is still affecting many people. I will also share some of my best kept secrets in stocks and forex trading which may be useful for many. By no means will I tell people that investments are not risky, but you can make money with calculated risk taking. Many of us are still reeling from losses in investment schemes, but the time is now to make some return on our small investments. I only hope that my input will be useful to you all.
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and to-day, yea and for ever." Hebrews 13:8
As another year is upon us, I wonder if the above scripture is applicable to us in anyway. The past has just been left in the wind, never to return. Are we the same yesterday, today or forever? The things that we did yesterday which were right, will we carry them into this year? The same statement can be made in the reverse, will we carry the bad with us too?
I have heard it said by some before that due to the changing times or modern ways of man that things also change. I once heard someone use this argument to justify women preaching or usurping authority over men in worship, saying that things and times have changed. Hebrew 13:8 states categorically that God does not change, he is the same yesterday, today and forever.
As Christians we are required to live righteously yesterday, today and forever. We often fall short, but we are covered by the blood of Jesus Christ who died for our sins.
We view days differently than God, in fact, Psalms 90:4 states in reference to God that, "For a thousand years in thy sight Are but as yesterday when it is past, And as a watch in the night". We have no control over our destiny, but what we do have is now. We have the chance now to make right with God, to follow his commands and live a righteous life.
This is a new year, the past is the past. Let's take the following message with us from Phillippians 3:12-14:
"Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus.Brethren, I could not myself yet to have laid hold: but one thing I do , forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
