One of my fav hymns

How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss,
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One
Bring many sons to glory

Behold the Man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my barking voice
Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

The russian adventure continues...

- January 19th, 2006. It was -32C, the coldest day on this date since 1927.
- A cracked tea cup because the water was too hot!
- It is a fact- 30 minutes means 5 hours in my country of residence...

The russian adventure

.Things that I have enjoyed in the year 2006:
- Celebrating Christmas twice in two weeks.
- Having classes the day after Christmas.
- Visiting the cops for 5 hours and getting nothing in return.
- Getting to spend enough time with that special someone.
- Knowing that God is in control of everything...
