This Man
So...Lent is here...the time where we all give up somethin we really really dig for 40 days...I've decided to try and give up tea...*gasp* *shock* *horror*
For someone of you, that might not be earth shattering...but to those that do, i think it is. So...let me introduce myself to those who don't...
Hi, my name is Ross. i love tea. i drink my tea out of a huge Homer Simpson mug (some can back me up on the size of this cup). i drink on average 2.85 cups of tea a day, the cup average may increase depending on weekends. i love tetley's and recently due to my birthday, im lucky to have started to have a high affinity for Mango Green Tea from Whittard's. not alot of things put me more at peace then when i drink tea. To sum up: Ross + Tea = a very happy man
So, this time around i've decided to give up tea for lent...and i gotta be totally honest, its been 2 days...i feel like 4 cups right about now...but this somethin i want to show to God that i can offer something as small as tea upto Him. 'cos in perspective...what did He sacrifice for us? cos im pretty sure it wasn't almond peanuts.
I was searchin for Jeremy Camp videos on You Tube and i stumbled upon this video...someone managed to splice parts of "The Passion" movie with Camp's song "This Man"...this post sounds more like an Easter special but im gonna post it anyway, jus to give y'all (rather ME) some encouragement to show how much He sacrificed for us...
whip out the 'ol John 3:16 for further reference:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life"
So... Milo from now on then eh?
