And the human body, a dollar's worth of chemicals, becomes, according to the apostle Paul, the temple of God's own Spirit.

[I thought of a rather cruel trick i once played on a wasp. He was sucking jam on my plate, and i cut him in half, He paid no attention, merely went on with his meal, while a tiny stream of jam trickled out of his severed oesophagus. Only when he tried to fly away did he grasp the dreadful thing that had happened to him. It is the same with modern man. The thing that has been cut away is his soul. - George Orwell]

[My natural desires, i now see, are pointers to the supernatural, not obstacles. In a world fallen far form its original design, God wants us to receive them as gifts and not possessions, tokens of love and not loves in themselves. I have learned to pray, following Augustine, not that my desires be quenched or taken away, rather that my scattered longings be gathered together in their Source, who alone can order them. - Philip Yancey]

Some of the things i read and realised from 'rumours of another world'.
one thing that caused me to stop in my tracks is, "I have learned to pray, following Augustine, not that my desires be quenched or taken away, rather that my scattered longings be gathered together in their Source, who alone can order them."

Wowed me.
i used to think desires are not that nice.
i tried suppressing it, resisting it, ignoring it.
it never went away.

Yah, it's true, desires will never go away.
the more i suppress, the more it grew.

Uh huh. i have to bring my shillings of desires before the One who first instilled desires.
He alone CAN order them. =)

Haha. Woohoo.. feel so happy to realise this.
it ain't wrong to desire.
it is a gift.
we just have to direct them to God.
