just a break from BGT fever - actually its because I find the semis overall quite disappointing, while I still hold on to my faves, I think that the auditions were better for all of them, except for Diversity.

The title popped into my head as I was reading Job today (I'm at the part where he is upset with God and his friends who insist that he had somehow deserved the catastrophe that just fallen upon him).

This phrase is actually a line that has been used pretty often in the last few episodes of Naruto.

I think I can hear some of your mental thoughts screaming: "WHAT?!"

I know its pretty far out... a line from Naruto popping out when your reading the Bible. Tsktsk...how un-spiritual (or childish) can you get?

Try putting aside any Job's friends-like remarks and just look at the phrase on its on. Now it comes about when this boy of unknown origins (who later is revealed to be an orphan) comes across Naruto and asks him where home is and Naruto gave this answer. At the same time, Naruto firmly believes that Sasuke, his friend who has left him, will one day return as long as he (naruto) doesn't stop thinking about him(sasuke) .

As Job faces depression (well who wouldn't if you lost all your children, wealth and health?), he doesn't blame God for not thinking of him. Quite the opposite, he mulls over why God, being so great and almighty, chose to focus so much on him. He very much rather be left alone.

He was right that God focused on him, but not for the reasons he thought. And just as God focused on Job, He focuses on each and everyone of us. Portrayed as a father of a prodigal son, God longs for and thinks constantly of us, even those who deny His existence and live their lives without Him in mind. But just as the phrase says, home is really where there is someone thinking of you and no one thinks of us more than our Heavenly Father.

Psalm 139:17-18

How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.
They cannot be numbered!
I can’t even count them;
they outnumber the grains of sand!
And when I wake up,
you are still with me!

On a side note that is of a completely different tangent, check out this vid and have a good laugh. I don't care what people say, but Im proud to call Singapore my home for reasons like this! You'll sure never hear that song the same way again~
