Short film following a couple of kids from a small village In Thailand and how soccer(football) changed this small village for ever.

Inspired by the 1986 FIFA World Cup, children built the pitch from old scraps of wood and fishing rafts. After making it to the Semi-final on an inland tournament, all the village were inspired to take up the sport. They built a brand new pitch, although the wooden one still remains and is popular among tourists. As of 2011, Panyee FC is one of the most successful youth soccer clubs in Southern Thailand, and the boys who built the pitch back in 1986 are now grown men. A 2011 brand campaign for TMB Bank includes a short film that tells the team's story.[3] The film is based on interviews with the original team, and it stars local children rebuilding the field on location

Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus

A poem the author wrote to highlight the difference between Jesus and false religion. In the scriptures Jesus received the most opposition from the most religious people of his day. At it's core Jesus' gospel and the good news of the Cross is in pure opposition to self-righteousness/self-justification. Religion is man centered, Jesus is God-centered. This poem highlights my journey to discover this truth. Religion either ends in pride or despair. Pride because you make a list and can do it and act better than everyone, or despair because you can't do your own list of rules and feel "not good enough" for God. With Jesus though you have humble confident joy because He represents you, you don't represent yourself and His sacrifice is perfect putting us in perfect standing with God the Father.

Blessing your baby!!!!

2013 has been a year of blessing, got promotion @ work and personally got the best promotion of all -Father to Joanna. From the day we came to know of Joanna being conceived , all through the pregnancy we kept of praying for her.One of the things which I did was to look out for verses in Bible which talks about kids & blessing of children. At times I read out all these verses in faith, just compiled a list hope this will be useful for you too.

Blessing for your Baby!!

 1 Samuel 1:27–28

 "I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD."

Jeremiah 1:5

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations."

Luke 2:40

"And the Child continued to grow and become strong, increasing in wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him."

Psalm 127:3

"Behold, children are a gift of the LORD; The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one's youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them;"


  Isaiah 8:18

Behold, I and the children whom the Lord has given me are signs and portents in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.  

HE will sprinkle clean water on you

This particular verse really touched me, you fight against sin daily and one get so used to falling deep in it and feels that is fine and no hope to get out of it. Everybody will have their own personal demons to fight with, I have my own share of them and often felt there is no way to get out of it.I try to raise and then fall, like a pig returning to its mud.

These Bible verses really touched me and gave me hope.

Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your uncleanness and your idols.  Also, I will teach you to respect me completely, and I will put a new way of thinking inside you. I will take out the stubborn hearts of stone from your bodies, and I will give you obedient hearts of flesh.  I will put my Spirit inside you and help you live by my rules and carefully obey my laws. "

Ezekiel 36:25- 27

Father teach me to respect you completely,give me a obedient heart and put your spirit inside me, Lord I yearn to live by Your will but I am powerless without your grace to get over the uncleanliness in me.

Hosea 4-My people are destroyed for lack of Knowledge

Hear the word of the Lord, you Israelites,
    because the Lord has a charge to bring
    against you who live in the land:
“There is no faithfulness, no love,
    no acknowledgment of God in the land.
² There is only cursing,lying and murder,
    stealing and adultery;
they break all bounds,
    and bloodshed follows bloodshed.
³ Because of this the land dries up,
    and all who live in it waste away;
the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky
    and the fish in the sea are swept away.
⁶     my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.
