The year we have all been dreading yet anticipating with heavy hearts is so close to being upon us. I looked around last night at the year 12 valedictory, and all week at the departing year 12's and the raw emotion that each person felt for one another, this year was truly a talented and great bunch. Coming from a school and attempting to integrate into a completely new system, from 60 kids i knew well, to 175 kids of whom i knew about 1/3 (and know still only know 3/4 of them) was incredibly difficult, however as i look back worth every second of the challenge. As Vice Captain of the school i have come to know and love, i really want to say thank you to the year 12's who in the space of only a week i have come to know so many of. They are inspiring and amazing and though i could only name about 20, have truly touched me to become a better person and to create a better year for the class of 2011. The year is so close to ending and the greatest challenge we as a year could possibly face is rushing up so close. I must say i am a complete nervous wreck, however i cannot wait for the beginning of 2011, the beginning of the most eventful year of my life, the beginning of something special and the launchpad for my life.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4084972805863734449-7630217435150191051?l=giftofthelord.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://giftofthelord.blogspot.com/feeds/7630217435150191051/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://giftofthelord.blogspot.com/2010/10/so-it-begins.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4084972805863734449/posts/default/7630217435150191051'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4084972805863734449/posts/default/7630217435150191051'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://giftofthelord.blogspot.com/2010/10/so-it-begins.html' title='So it begins'/><author><name>MT6</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11803308439560523385</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4084972805863734449.post-8793296801562094346</id><published>2010-10-18T15:27:00.001+11:00</published><updated>2010-10-18T15:27:46.348+11:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Found this extremley funny letter failry sure its being sarcastic &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Dr. Laura:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the other specific laws and how to follow them:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15:19- 24. The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? - Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your Devoted Fan Jim&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4084972805863734449-8793296801562094346?l=giftofthelord.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://giftofthelord.blogspot.com/feeds/8793296801562094346/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://giftofthelord.blogspot.com/2010/10/found-this-extremley-funny-letter.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4084972805863734449/posts/default/8793296801562094346'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4084972805863734449/posts/default/8793296801562094346'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://giftofthelord.blogspot.com/2010/10/found-this-extremley-funny-letter.html' title=''/><author><name>MT6</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11803308439560523385</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4084972805863734449.post-7229370492890846089</id><published>2010-10-02T22:13:00.003+10:00</published><updated>2010-10-02T22:22:47.834+10:00</updated><title type='text'>Journalist ethics</title><content type='html'>Never Believe anything unless it has been officially denied. Monash Lecturer Quoting famous Journalist whose name escapes me. &lt;br /&gt; was Recently attending the Monash University experience day and was talked to by the head Journalism Lecturer who gave a seminar on Journalist ethics and Basics. It was simply amazing. My views on how news is presented was completely altered ,especially in situations such as the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Next year i will be undertaking a course named International Studies(in year 12) that looks at the wars going on in today's world with a high focus on terrorism and the aftermath of 9/11. My mind attention thoughts and feelings were all completely entrapped by this man as i listened to whether a man with a camera should stop brutal beatings or film the story to rely the message around the world effectively helping these people whose suffering and deaths allowed the news to travel around the world. I sat addicted as he explained that a women in the Africa's was fired from her BBC job for not filming and witnessing a demonstrated mass executions because she was sickened by the event. My passion and hope for the future is to become a Journalist or Lawyer by completing a double degree of Law/Arts i can tell you now this lecture will stay with me for the rest of my life and hopefully career. Please tell me your thought on the two situations i have presented as well as any others that you may have heard of.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>Daemn  Liberate Vos Ex Inferis</title><content type='html'>The being ran, his torn skin stung as he moved swiftly into the night. His cold, dead body groaned under the steady rhythm of his flight,his weight shifting slightly, he slowed to a quick jog. Standing deathly still the being listened to the night air for a trace of betrayal, but only the sound of his haggard breath and the beating of his hard metallic wings broke the unnatural silence. The moonlight shined on the silver patches of his once magnificent wings, now covered in rust unable to beat they lay by his side, dormant with a hint of power. His artificial limbs tensed as a soft breeze brushed remains of litter against the being. Scents filled the being overwhelming his senses, hitting his nostrils and taking the breath from his body. Leaping to a sudden start the being ran. Stones and shattered glass barred his way as he flew through the alleyways, his marred reflection starring back at him from the glass walls surrounding the street. As he ran sharp memories threatened to break through his consciousness, men in white coats there beautiful feathery wings folded behind their backs, clipboards in their hands, water so much water and pain. The being fell to the floor, collapsing with pain, as the memories came and went penetrating his mind flashing and disappearing just as quick. The being let out an inhumane cry that filled the night sky as he struggled to block out the pain. Gripping his head and clenching his broken wings together he rose to his feet and started to stumble through the maze of metal buildings and paved streets. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;High above the being three men stood on the rooftop of a giant metal structure. The building was in the center of the city, giving its occupants a complete three sixty degrees view of the giant maze like fortress city surrounding them. The building had a cold feeling in it although its residents were the exact opposite of its appearance. The building had a twisted look to it, jagged pieces of metal protruded from the middle of the central column and came out at all angles, giving it an dead and fearsome look. Completely black the only colour on the building came at the top of its spire a bright white tip decorating it. The occupants stood and watched the being make his escape. All three were similar in appearance with subtle differences distinguishing themselves. Each angel was dressed entirely in white their beautiful wings folded elegantly behind their backs. Adorned with suits and long flowing gray cloaks, the only dark colour permitted upon them they looked like the picture of beauty. The first figure had long blonde hair, tied back with a strip of white that bore the symbol of a golden ring, high set cheekbones and a soft full face. The beings eyes flashed green adding to his brilliance, but also containing a hint of malevolence. His nose was straight and lips curved up at one side giving him an almost snide appearance, were it not for his stunning appearance he would have looked evil. The next being had a boyish face but the body of a man. He was dressed in the same fashion as the other two men but looked brighter and more elegant as if such a thing was possible. His hair curled around his face and illuminated his playful looking features. His eyes bright blue and joyful complemented his round jaw and soft skin, but it was the long scar that ran from the edge of his eye across his nose and lips to the other side of his face that marred his overall grace. The third angel seemed to be leader. He wore white gloves encrusted with a jeweled version of the symbol on the first mans cloth a golden ring. A long curled sword hung from his waist, the blade a deep golden colour and its edge had been sharpened to such a point that it would run through the hardest element. The man had a peculiar look about him, an air of command but a total lack of interest in the situation at hand. His face conveyed that boredom, though his looks preceded both of the men next to him, his face conveyed no emotion and took his beauty out. His eyes a light shade of gray drew in everything around him but again took no pleasure or pain in what he saw. His short light brown hair fell around his face adding to the majesty of his looks and was tied back with another piece of white cloth although this one was tattered and sprayed with dried blood. The being raised his eyes and spoke to the two men flanking him, "You know what to do, find him and kill him, i do not want another failure". He glanced at the two men and saw his message and been understood completely. Though his eyes betrayed no emotion the two beings shivered suddenly feeling cold though the wind was warm and they were well covered. They started to move off to the side of the magnificent structure, unfolding their elegant wings, they turned to leap into flight. &lt;br /&gt;"Azrael" the being spoke softly, the being with the long blonde hair tied back with the white strip stopped and turned, nervously he swept his hair back and, moved almost gliding, over the to him. &lt;br /&gt;"You may go Raziel" the man said sweeping his eyes back to the boyish faced angel. Raziel looked back at Azrael concern in his eyes, the being caught the look and tutted, &lt;br /&gt;"Do not worry Raziel i am not going to harm him he has not done anything wrong...yet" the beings fingers twitched as he pointed at the edge. "Now go hunt", an edge of authority and malice crept into the beings face and voice. Raziel saw the flash in his eyes and quickly turned releasing his powerful wings and leapt into the air. &lt;br /&gt;"Raphael, please what ails you"? Azrael whispered staring at the cold figure, folding his hands behind his cloak he reached into his belt and gripped his ancient dagger. &lt;br /&gt;Raphael turned to the being and stared at him, "Release your dagger", he whispered dangerously, "I have need of you and do not &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;want&lt;/span&gt; to kill you". Azrael raised his head and stared at the creature in front of him. &lt;br /&gt;"I am sorry my lor-"&lt;br /&gt;"Do not call me lord", Raphael spat at the angel standing in front of him, We serve the one and only true being he is our Lord", Raphael looked venomously down at the cowering angel but as he did his features softened. "Is eram superbia ut changed angelus in diabolus, is est humilitas ut planto men ut angels", Raphael looked out over the city covered with darkness, "Many of our brothers have fallen Azrael, you were a man once were you not?...."Yes", he said as he saw Azrael nod,"You have not lived as long as me not been in this war, it is vital you understand nothing must get in our way, we gave birth to your race we must love them". Raphael looked down at the immortal being and swept down on him embracing him in a light hug. "Liberate vos ex inferis meus frater, save yourself, now go find him". He straightened from the embrace and looked at Azrael. The angel looked determined an energy had crept into his face illuminating him. He turned to go and was stopped by a light hand, "Look after Raziel he is eager but lacks self awareness".&lt;br /&gt;"I will try my brother", with those last words Azrael turned and launched himself spreading his powerful wings into the air savouring the impact of the wind and soaring after his companion.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4084972805863734449-5890819894320250702?l=giftofthelord.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://giftofthelord.blogspot.com/feeds/5890819894320250702/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://giftofthelord.blogspot.com/2010/01/daemn-liberate-vos-ex-inferis.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4084972805863734449/posts/default/5890819894320250702'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4084972805863734449/posts/default/5890819894320250702'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://giftofthelord.blogspot.com/2010/01/daemn-liberate-vos-ex-inferis.html' title='Daemn  Liberate Vos Ex Inferis'/><author><name>MT6</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11803308439560523385</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4084972805863734449.post-4745957952143720651</id><published>2009-12-21T21:09:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2009-12-21T21:28:41.537+11:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_E1bOhvZE_YY/Sy9J4hoKhOI/AAAAAAAAAAM/ucstHWM3ee8/s1600-h/Fallen+Angel.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

We battle for truth, for love. We fight and bleed for one more powerful. We anguish to keep the abyss of black at bay, to shrug away from hurtful embrace. We contradicted the one we loved, questioned him. They are flawed, a mere shadow of perfection, light bursts around the edges but never threatens to envelop the center and burn through. We have taken the fire and cleansed ourselves anew anointed with blissful burden though our love never wavers, we don't forget. Tarnished and ruined beauty marred with scars, our blasphemy our reputation. We are the tortured not the wretched souls deemed evil imprisoned within our fiery domain. The reason we rot, cast from the very paradise we helped create, rightly fear us as death, mysterious unknown, but their fear is confused. We were commanded to redirect our love from our father, to the ones moulded in our image, we refused we loved him to much we could not waste it on these inferior beings. We will have our vengeance on the cause of our sorrow. Our father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name.

with darkness. He slowly licks his cracked, bloody lips, scrutinizing the scrawny human a look of disdain on his face and mad glint of vengeance hanging in the corner of his eye. He swept his long dark tattered overcoat from underneath his boots admiring his strong fingers and sharpened talons. His hat fell slightly to the side revealing a hideous face, scars covered his nose and cheeks whilst a long gash starting from the base of his neck and climbing towards his horned ears dominated. He moved quickly hiding in the murky depths of air, smelling, tasting the fear emitting from the body like heat only sweeter. The human pulled her coat tighter to her body, shivering for a reason unknown to her, picking her pace up shoes echoing into an abyss of silence. The man shaped figure stepped from the air and into the world, enjoying the all too familiar feeling of pain, shaking his disfigured, ancient body, senses adjusting to the dark alleyway. He watched through demonic eyes as the human finally turned the corner suspecting but ever unknowing the fate that befell her. "A shame", the Harbringer thought, This one was unique she was a prize he would have savored, but he knew better than to let his lust overtake him ,for as beautiful as she was, she was on the list. He glided over dead autumn leaves, smiling with glee as they wasted away, to get a view of what was to come. She moved slowly now looking over her shoulder, sweat forming on her brow, she was stopping. A look of bewilderment crossed the Harbringers face, she knows he thought, she can't he counter argued with himself. He moved forward pulling a long sabre, strong and flexible, from his side muttering words as he proceeded. The woman kept staring, but there seemed to be a vacant look behind her deep, mud brown eyes. He was growing ever nearer her now still muttering words from a language known only to few. His sword burst into flames, he stopped mumbling and opened his eyes, intent shone through the bright orange pupils as he glared at his victim. Then it happened a terrible pain racked the body of the Harbringer, he dropped his sword screaming in silence with profuse pain clutching his disfigured head, falling from the air onto the hard cold concrete. The woman came out of her transfixed state and stared down at the now visible Harbringer. "So we meet again Abaddon I'm so glad you could &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;drop &lt;/span&gt;in" her voice emitted through the night air like a knife cutting through butter, strange high pitched and painful to the ear.&lt;br /&gt;"No it cant be" the harbinger forced himself to whisper through baited breath, "Y...your dead", he spat at the woman's feet. &lt;br /&gt;Another strange sound emitted from the woman's full lips "No not dead, merely broken, i suppose half dead, now that i ponder it", the woman stopped as if in thought, "but that's not the point is it"? Abaddon stared at the woman who moments ago was his target, loathing plastered upon his face. &lt;br /&gt;"You are a TRAITOR to the kingdom of Lucifer"! he bellowed, "you and all your Righteous Fallen".&lt;br /&gt;"Unfortunately for you The Almighty does not see it this way", she smiled viciously and licked her lips her eyes flashed bright blue as she leaned in close to Abaddon, "You the Harbinger the most valued of all the Fallen, right hand of Lucifer himself, how precious you are, shame it has to be this way, but your on the list". She pulled out a list and dagger from inside her coat, proceeded to bring the dagger to Abaddon's chest and touch the point where his heart should have been. Abaddon grabbed the woman's blouse "Lilith don't do this, you are the only one he loves". At the sound of the last word the woman's face grew distorted with rage. &lt;br /&gt;"Loved....... LOVED, he never loved me he loved the idea of me, a Fallen Arch, one who could easily gain favour with The Almighty, one who had the appearance of a cherub so that she could poison The Almighty, a tool", Lilith was breathing heavily features becoming quickly ugly and flawed. When my form was ripped from me by the hands of Lucifer when he... he discovered The Almighty and I, it was beyond pain beyond everything, I was nothing but a speck of being, and now look at me beautiful once again and with powers he", she spat onto the ground violently, "knows not". She tossed he long dark hair back and mumbled a few words "Kerach"! she yelled as she plunged the dagger into Abaddon's chest. She stared venomously at the body and turned to keep walking down the alleyway. I will know when he knows she though viciously tasting sweet revenge, How easy it was to fool him into thinking i was a human. Lilith moved to the end of the street and turned on the spot disappearing to all human eye. As she moved upwards through the sky a foxes eyes followed her upwards whimpering as it watched.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'
