Pensieri Semplici 2009/02 "Michael Jackson - Gone Too Soon"

I cannot still believe my ears when I heard that the King of Pop Michael Jackson had passed on. I've not been a fan but I have heard his songs here and there. Three of my favorites being "Black or White", and "Gone Too Soon"... "Heal the World".. I started to download his songs to listen to them more closely. And I do miss him. Seeing all the hoo HAhss on the TV, news and media, the amount of coverage and exposure of this event, which really marks the end of a musical era. I feel a bit lost as though, strange to say that a small part, but important part of me have been taken away. He's like a part of my era, my generation, a period where I grew up listening to his songs, dancing to it, playing it in the band etc.. Unknowingly over time, his presence in music had stuck itself to me.

Perhaps now, without having to grapple with all the legal issue, the stressful comeback concert, this music prodigy and singing sensation, can finally lay his steps to rest. I hope he was a believer, and when I do see him in heaven next time, I would want to sing with him.

Pensieri Semplici 2009/01 "Being Influenced?"

Went to church today and had a sermon conducted by my previous Pastor. Don't get me wrong. I love him dearly as my shepherd and will always respect his views. His quoted from the scriptures a series of sins which being unrepentent of, we will never get heaven. He was worried about his young son going to school, and being influence to be a homosexual. If the child would to have gone to the counsellor, she would have told the child to make responsible decisions. Apparenetly, the parents had expected the counsellor to said it was wrong. This would have subjected the counsellor to another wave of bigotry from another smaller camp. Whichever is the case, they seemed to believe that their child can be influence to be gay. Sincerely, I don't remember anybody influencing me..
