Amazing Grace Lyrics - by John Newton (1725-1807)
======================================
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
T'was Grace that taught...
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear...
the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares...
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...
and Grace will lead us home.
The Lord has promised good to me...
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be...
as long as life endures.
When we've been here ten thousand years...
bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise...
then when we've first begun.
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although there are different versions to this beautiful hymn, these words to Amazing Grace are what we have found to be most common. In recent times, Amazing Grace seems to be a song which many of us can relate to as the United States, and the world, go through great changes.
Although I have been online with this site for a few months, I am now pledging this page to the loss of those who have gone on before us, as well as to all of the families whose lives have been stricken from their losses. This beutiful soul healing song is extended to those who have simply lost a love one during lifes' journey or for those who are simply walking the good red road. Perhaps from these words featuring below, this song will offer you some kind of inspirational comfort when reflecting back on memories, or dealing with current or difficult times while simply getting through life on lifes' own terms.
I know it does for me so I definitely think it works for you too. It appears the words to Amazing Grace and its' melody are very powerful in many ways...and its power words of God is heavily touches so many souls around the globe today.

What is Parenting to you?
Parenting is the process of raising and educating a child from birth until adulthood.
It has recently become a very popular topic due to the necessity of clarifying the process of upbringing a child at home by parents as the opposite to the formal education of a child at school. A teacher-student relationship is different from the parent-child relationship. Therefore a parent's methods of educating a child must be different from a teacher's. At school teachers give a child general literacy and scientific knowledge; at home parents give a child general wisdom of life as parents themselves understand it.
Parenting is usually done in a child's family by the mother and/or father (i.e., the biological parents). When parents are unable or unwilling to provide this care, it is usually undertaken by close relatives, such as older siblings, aunts and uncles, or grandparents. In other cases, children may be cared for by adoptive parents, foster parents, godparents, or in institutions (such as group homes or orphanages).
Christian parenting is the one that really catch my attention here and probably we could learn from this method in bring up our children.
In the United States, disparate models explicitly termed "Christian parenting" are popular among some parents who claim to apply biblical principles to parenting. Information on Christian parenting is found in publications, Christian parenting websites, and in seminars devoted to helping parents apply Christian principles to parenting.
While some Christian parenting models are strict and authoritarian, others are "grace-based" and share methods advocated in attachment parenting and positive parenting theories. Particularly influential on opposite sides have been James Dobson and his book Dare to Discipline, and William Sears who has written several parenting books including The Complete Book of Christian Parenting & Child Care and The Discipline Book.
In a study of Christian parents done by Christian Parenting Today in 2000, 39% of the families surveyed have family devotions once a week or more, and 69% of parents consider Sunday school, youth and children's programs extremely important.-

Football Association of Sarawak
The Football Association of Sarawak enters a team in Malaysian football competitions to represent the state of Sarawak. The team is based in Kuching, and currently plays in the top division in Malaysian football, the Malaysian Super League.
Sarawak FA is not doing very well this season in Malaysian Super League they are currently at the bottom of MSL league table. I truly believe because of the poor management of Sarawak football club nowadays this team is just a team that is playing for fun instead of win more home and away matches, too bad they are lack the fighting spirit. The young lads and the good import players are there in the team but still their performance are below par or maybe tactically they are not good as those teams in the J-League. Ngap Sayot and Agi idup agi ngelaban spirit is no longer there anymore, common Sarawak shows them you can be one of the best team again in M-league just as good as you are in the 1992-2003. Agi idup agi ngelaban spirit should be the motto that we might need to re-established again among all the players.

EPL preview
The Reds hopes for the Barclays Premier League Title - hopeless
I was looking at the epl table yesterday and noticed my team is still at top 5 out of 20, The Reds are now 17 points behind leaders Manchester United and Arsenal following their fifth consecutive league match without a win. Today Noble is their hero at Upton Park. TOO bad..may be not as we are still working very hard to improve our position in our own league called 'fantasy football'. You are free to play fantasy football game, set up your fantasy football team at the Official Premier League site. Hopefully one day we will be the real manager to manage a great club like Liverpool FC, who knows - only God knows.
