Just Jinjer song

One of my favourite bands is JUST JINGER. They are considered to be the most successful South African Rock band.

Here is the lyrics from one of their latest songs...something to chew on.

What He Means:

If there is Grace in this world
If there is light on this earth
Let us use it, let us see it.. starting right now

Can we be down with ourselves?
Respectful and mindful of one
Of one another, your significant other,
Your sister or brother?

Peace, Love, more tolerance.
Faith, hope, trust in the same name of God

Peace, Love, more tolerance.
Faith, hope, trust in the same God in whose
name we die for, take an innocent life for
well that's not what he means..
and it doesn't matter what Book you read

Is there relief up ahead?
Cos Judgement and hearing await
A weight on our minds to bear,
A shame on our heads to wear

Where is Salvation now?
Now that we have what we want
Now that we have our wars..

Peace, Love, more tolerance.
Faith, hope, trust in the same name of God in whose
name we die for, take an innocent life for
well that's not what he means..
and it doesn't matter what book you read

with a little bit of ease and little bit of calm
acceptance is the key to all we know
what about a stir of compassion and
lenience?
what about some understanding?
what about some sympathy?

Peace, Love, more tolerance.
Faith, hope, trust in the same name of God in whose
name we die for, take an innocent life for
well that's not what he means..
and it doesn't matter what Book you read
(FREEDOM, KINDNESS, WARM DELIVERANCE,
COMFORT, MERCY, REDEMTION SONG!!)

Ship in Bangkok TOMORROW!!!

The Shipwill arrive in Bangkok tomorrow!!! Praise the LORD.

It has been a hectic few weeks but great hectic.

Please pray as we head into this unknown part of the adventure:

Some stories from the last few days as written in our weekly report to the ship...hope you enjoy!

· Other one…

During this week, while Oliver and Liezel were in the office minding their business trying to do whatever-it-is-you-do on lineup, all of a sudden two locals walked into the office. Because the team shares the office with 4 other Thai ladies, Liezel thought they were guests for our Thai office-mates but they kept on talking thai and Liezel’s desk-mate, Kitty, referred the older Lady to Liezel. Surprised Liezel got up to go and meet the Lady. Awkwardness reigned in the office as neither Liezel nor Oliver knew the guests. The lady took out her camera and pointed at the two – now REALLY uncomfortable – shiplings wanting to take their picture. It turns out that this couple came all the way to the team’s office to take a picture of them. Yes people we are now famous. Autographs will be available at 50 Baht a piece!!!

· Other TwoLiving on the ship has sort of made us immune to cockroaches – or so we think. Living on the ship has also made us use stairs more and not be too familiar with elevators (or lifts if you are from South Africa). On Friday night the team was heading back from their last team outing and as usual squished into the tiny elevator that takes them to the sixth floor, their accommodation. When the elevator got to the second or third floor or something in-between Liezel felt something on her arm and thought it a hair or something. A few seconds later Ji Ea let out a gasp as she saw the 6cm long cockroach exploring Liezel’s back. Four line-uppers and one cockroach trapped in ONE elevator the size of a doulos shower! 3 girls and 1 guy trapped in an elevator with a HUGE (that’s what WE thought) cockroach. Kaylee freaked out and so did Ji Ea (less vocal) and Liezel stood their not having any space to turn around or run away or freak out even more so she was left staring at the doors hoping it would open soon… Mr Cool Crispin flicked the monster off the black shirt as the doors opened and the ladies exploded from the lift with hearts racing and pulses beating.

Good friends...no...great friends!!!!

from inside my cave

Line up has the ability to use the smallest things to get big reactions. I am tired and slightly irritated tonight and hearing people skype about how they do not want to be here on lineup and would rather be somewhere else is enough to inspire a verbal massacre...BUT i will go the other route and try to pretend i am deaf, grab my pencils and drwa while watching a war movie. Sounds good.

The Lineup has been great so far. I made a GREAT friend in my South Korean team mate and learnt alot about relationships, my anger issues and how sarcasm is not always funny. I am learning that i am a selfish person that rarely posessed the grace needed to be a nice person...sad but true. BUT I AM LEARNING that withou Jesus...there is nothing.

Thailand is beautiful...
Thailand is dark...
Thailand needs Jesus...
SO BADLY...
