gone

Saya terakhir udah bbrp hari menghilang kaga blogging, kecuali pas tanggal 18 dan kemarin. Pengangguran teladan nih ceritanya? Hehe.. ya dan tidak. Nih saya kasi tau ngapain aja selama seminggu ini:

Senin 21/5 - Istirahat dirumah seharian, mulai beres-beres. Sorenya ditelp Pastor David dia baru beli TV Flat Screen 51" minta saya bantu angkatin dari trucknya ke dlm rumah. Terus istrinya masak bikin baked chicken, hmm chickennya enak. Abis itu ya cipika cipiki ... namanya juga perpisahan....

Selasa 22/5 - Lynchburg bisa dibilang "lumpuh" total krn ada funeral service Dr. Falwell. Semua sekolah diliburin, traffic katanya bakal macet taunya super sepi. Semua orang pada gosip bhw President Bush dan Daddy Bush Sr. bakal hadir, eh ternyata kabarnya beneran dari burung alias boong. White House cuma kirim asistennya Bush. Ada Franklin Graham dan Rick Warren yg dateng. Gue tadinya mau ke TRBC ikut funeral service, tapi berhubung baru bangun jam 10.30, maka saya hadir di udara saja dlm doa dan putar TV untuk nonton acaranya, hehe.

Rabu 23/5 - Koran-koran heboh expose soal anak LU yg bawa bom molotov di mobilnya pas ikutan acara funeral, katanya itu utk ngewarning protester Dr Falwell. Itu anak bener2 kurang kerjaan. Hari Rabu saya diundang lunch, KOREAN BBQ, sama tiga cewek Korea sakti, Hye-Lim, Hye-Ryun, dan Skye. Gile tu BBQ asik banget.

Kamis 24/5 - Lanjut beres-beres dan packing2. Ben dateng ke rumah. Dia sejak minggu lalu udah pindah ke apartment barunya. Kmrn dia dateng dan kita sama2 beres2 dan bebersih di rumah sini. Sorenya pergi makan di Schmokeys Grill di Wyndhurst dgn Justin dan Lindsey, ini sandwich/burger khas-nya orang South. Pic-nya yang dibawah postingan ini.

Jumat 25/5 - Pagi tadi saya nongol di kantor sekolah, ceritanya pamitan sesuai janji krn hari ini kan Jumat, hari terakhir kerja sebelum weekend. Senin saya udah cabut dan disini public holiday so ga ada waktu lagi. Yah, tadi pelok2an dan cipika cipiki lagi dah sama para ibu2 kantor itu. Siangnya mampir ke Olive Garden.

Busyettt, beberapa hari terakhir ini saya jadi pengangguran teladan, yang artinya makan 2terusss. Maklum, sebentar lagi akan meninggalkan Lynchburg kota kecil tercinta, jadi di rumah Sandusky Drive ini lagi bertemakan packing-packing dan makan-makan. Saya bakal pindah demikian pula roommate saya, si mas Benjamin or "Dr Forrest."
Hari ini hari terakhir dia di Lynchburg karena besok subuh bakal terbang balik ke Idaho, the potato land. So pada mencar deh satu persatu. Ok gotta run some errands. I will post the updates.

At the end of the day

At the end of the day
When all papers go away
And lips just ain't enough to say
With friends going out each on their way

At the end of the day
When a dreamer passed away
A man of courage, wisdom, and passion that fully sway
A week full of memories in the month of May
A city where its skies turned to gray

At the end of the day
When all heads bowed down
When everyone looked to the Son
And thank Him for all that He has done

At the end of the day
When everybody’s gone
And I continue to move on
Reaching that vision, shining that beacon

At the end of the day
While looking at His shimmering ray
I hope my Master would say
“Well done, thou good and faithful servant,”

Lynchburg, May 2007

on my graduation day

this faithful servant of God will be most remembered as
a beloved husband, father, grandfather, pastor, and chancellor

Dr. Jerry Falwell
(August 11, 1933 - May 15, 2007)

untitled hymn

Weak and wounded sinner
Lost and left to die
O, raise your head, for love is passing by
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and live!

Now your burden's lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain, so
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live!

And like a newborn baby
Don't be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk
Sometimes we fall...so
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live!

Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live!

O, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can't contain your joy inside, then
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live!

And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side, and
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!
