Dear darlingest Miyang Marie,
I decided that for the entire season of Lent that I shall not shave, as a matter of a promise I made to God which is not a very, big thing in the greater sweep of things but just a small, personal thing. Yet all promises made to the LORD are nothing if we tend to compare them with other things for our God looks not on the size or severity of the promise itself but on the manner with which it is presented to His Divine Majesty.
Where Love is concerned, there must be no comparison between a thing of love and a thing of love for both of these things must be loved in the way they should which is always, always without compare. Which is why the question that asks, "who do you love more", like the question, "who is greater", in the context of Charity which is the love of God and of others in God as true self is not a question asked by those who know it, who are made privy to its ways. Because a creature when loved by its Creator becomes full of this love and tends to love its LORD in the way that all things are loved by its LORD as itself, with one love alone. And so those who are made intimate to the ways of Charity are made to be intimate with the Intimate not because they especially deserve anything or that they are exceptionally good but because God deserves to be loved, above all things, in the way that He ought to be loved by a world who loves Him so little and also not because any man or angel is in any way good but because our LORD is an infinitely beneficent LORD.
On the other hand, those souls who are very commonly called to this love are frequently those who are most alien to it being those most wretched of sinners who need it the most. I know this because I am one of them, my love.
I have to go for now.
I love you, my loveliest love.
Always to always,
Pusing
P.S.
I got this new cell phone, right. Well, one of the reasons why I got it was because it has a camera and with this camera I shall soon spice things up a little bit by including pictures here in our planet Annelies - pictures of the things we like and like to think and smile about. Pictures I shall take using this new cell phone which I got for a great discount from one of my friends from work. It also has an MP3 player which is a neat bonus. I just need to get some more accessories to get me started.
I shall have to use my computer at my father's place as a transfer station so I could transfer the pictures to my jump drive or an arrangement to that effect. My family life is a little complicated right now, my love, so I shall avoid thinking about these things for now because when I start doing that, it feels like drowning.
Suffice to say, my family right now is you, my loveliest love, you and all of you in and with our LORD God and true Country. When I think that to myself, Yang-yang, the stress of many things easily dissipates like darkness is chased away by light. Don't get me wrong, my love, I love my family very, very much - they are just as imperfect as I am, its just the evil, tares of sin and vice that imprison so many hearts, choking the life out of the souls of so many human beings, that I hate.

Dear darlingest Annelies Marie,
Some people might wonder, my loveliest love, why when I speak to our Starshine, I chose to use movement instead of settling for definition.
That is because, I want them to catch for themselves by their own willing appreciation of the divine gift of each of their own free will through ownership of the responsible practice of the same, the person that God wants to grow in each of them. This standard is the standard of our Liberty, my love, as a freedom bred not for the sake of enduring the evil in our days but for the sake of bearing what is good in our hearts so that together we may conquer.
To paraphrase one of my favorite quotes from Abraham Lincoln, "have I not destroyed my enemies by making them into my friends?"
We each have our own true belongings to the self in the self as well as to each other as true self and this belonging may only be attained by belonging first to our LORD, in all things to our LORD and last to our LORD - to God alone and in God alone, we are allowed to experience the reality kept for those who belong to it, in glimpses of a promised joy here and everywhere forever.
This reality is the reality that makes us belong together - something so over-used as to be so utterly under-appreciated a word as "Love".
I love you, my loveliest love.
Always to always,
Pusing
P.S.
One of my friends from work last night said to me that he is afraid of heights, I stated - out of the blue - that perhaps that he might be afraid of falling instead - for how can one be afraid of heights as itself alone without the motion that makes fear present in our being human. A line of thinking that I am now working to develop.

Dear darlingest Miyang Marie,
I love you, my loveliest love. When I say that, and our skies are clear, my darlingest dear, my heart flies swiftly to the love that we share together, but when the dark of the storms of this life comes and tears fall as rain, I am also able to trust in the love itself alone.
For love is a reality that exists independent and distinct from ourselves, it penetrates us and embraces us, it is infinitely more than any man or angel can ever comprehend. For God is Love.
I wrote about this for our little Starshines, my love - the beginnings of Charity in the heart is acceptance of this trust in God and in others in God - one love alone.
For how can one say love can be anything more or less than what love could really be who know the one Beautiful?
When you shall love thy beloved, he or she shall never feel in their heart the need to ask you, "who do you love more?" Because the heart in their hearts itself will understand that you love them without compare.
So love all things without compare. Say, to all thy beloved - thy friends and family - I shall bring our love as close as possible to our God and that is how I love you. And know in all thy humanity that this kind of love takes courage because it is the path of sacrifice; it is the road to Calvary exemplified by our Lord Christ. Love treads on no other road than the road of the Cross. Say what anyone will, this is our mountain path and the only way out of this midnight dark.
To love is to grow out of the self, a walk into the Heart of God. It is the labor of bearing burdens for each other; love gives and it chooses to give, willingly, and with joy, until it is spent and the substance of its own truth sets itself free.
Love is greatest of all for Charity is the queen of all virtues; she governs them like an army in battle array. The enemy of our hearts tremble when she takes the field for all Hell itself knows that the victory of heaven draws near to the earth for all of those who abide in Love in their heart of hearts for as God dwells in them, so does the hosts of the LORD abide with them, for our LORD is never without the Company of his angels, neither do the angels of the LORD march without each other.
We are human beings, imperfect, but Love is perfect in Its desire for us and is perfected in those who accept this truth: God loves us more than we could ever love ourselves.
There is only one way to love, one reason to do so and it recreates our hearts like a prism that shows forth this Light as an infinite spectrum of colors made present through us here, who choose to be present, in the absent gray and the unfeeling dark of exile time, in the Name of our LORD on behalf of those who are in need of God - all of suffering humanity.
How else can virtue be obtained or happiness effectively pursued but by this way? So must all things good by command of our LORD alone Who is the source of all good things produce this kind of fruit. As there is only one firmament, there are no divisions in heaven. As our Sovereign only has one Royal Standard, there can only be one victory over war. As our LORD has only one House, there can never be two places for the one eternal destiny. As our LORD tends only one Garden, why must any tree boast who produce no fruit of this kind? Why must beauty be a burden to them who know It not?
God is a reality and so the reality of a good and honorable religion must be revealed by its fruit and this fruit must be the fruit of virtue which is good works of every kind, edible unto all the nations of the one family of the nations of mankind and imperishable being born of changeless things.
Out of this, we may ponder about responsible development which is a balance between the need to sustain positive growth in our industries and the conservation of our natural resources.
For ordered love begets ordered people and ordered people, ordered things - money, goods and services.
We live in an imperfect world but the purpose of this world and of all creation, seen and unseen is willed by a perfect LORD, this gives us hope - we must only endure in faith and also in reason that is guided by it and then let God prevail.
“In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33

I read in an article once that Russia is searching for her greatest hero, my opinion is that perhaps this is too early to tell. She has heroes, all our nations are never bereft of them - only we become bereft of their remembrance. The LORD Himself has been careful in all His dealings with Mankind to stir the peoples of the earth always to their remembrances. Russia has been asleep for a time and now she is searching for herself. I am no expert in Russian history, my love, but if they should look for a hero at this present time, then they should look to the nameless Russian people - as a timeless, ageless whole - they and the lineage of their hopes together in God and Country above all else should be recognized, in my view, by the nation that they sustain by the state that they maintain.
---<--@
The state of our world require that NATO must in time evolve with the evolution of war from a regional bloc to a global defensive alliance - yes, including Russia, Iran, etc. this is necessary if the paradigm of war is to be effectively countered. For Peace that does not include all of the nations of the one family of the nations of mankind is naught but war in disguise - this whole world must live to become one family, one house, one peace. What about North Korea? There is only one Korea - a nation can not be divided forever, and it is war here that is the lie and not the one Korean people.
The United Nations, too, must adapt in her Charter the one Commonwealth Trust of the one Family of the Nations of Mankind and enshrine in her hopes a Charter of Rights - ratified by all of her nation-states and also by a Congress of Religions - Natural Human Rights, Workers Rights (including the Elderly, the Disabled and Veterans), the Rights of Women and Children (including the Unborn) and the Rights of Minorities (including Ethnic Tribes, Minority Religions, Prisoners, Refugees and Immigrants).
This paradigm of war and globalization juxtaposed will cause our world to tumble down into the gravity of conflict, instability shall breed more instability, violence shall empower more violence, evil shall give birth to more evil, for such is the nature of war - this beast is a devourer of peoples, a destroyer of civilizations and our history now allows us to recognize it at a time, times and half a time. (We shall discuss the phenomenon of globalization in another entry.)
Time is not an ally of this beast - so does the victory belong not to its relentless hatred of life and of all the things of life - a direct extension of its hate for the one Everliving and for all of the everliving. So to rest in our sufficiency, one with another, we certainly may - striving always for each other, all in All and all in God, knowing our true belonging is always to each other in God and Country, never holding back nor exceeding the promise we have in God and for us Christians, the promise we have in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Because war was from heaven thrown down so it must upon the earth be denied. Lest we forget. Lest we forget.

Dear darlingest Miyang Marie,
It's the day after Valentine's day, my love, and it's a relief for some people. My best buddy from the Bay Area says that he was "hiding away" yesterday. You see, we're both single, my darlingest, but the difference is that I do not feel the slightest need to "hide away" - both my single status or from women who are also single. Why should I be ashamed of being single, my love? I do not follow the fickle standards and the fleeting fashions of this world. Why should I be afraid to love when that's what this life is all about? And finally, why should I run away from true hearts who desire to relate with my own heart - either in holy friendships or in holy matrimony - when upon this depends the completion of the purpose for which God has allowed me to be born to this world? No, love is not a thing to hide away from nor does its perceived lack in one's life a reason for anybody to become bitter about it. Love Itself is the Lover - and were people to try and realize this in their lives, they would understand, God-willing, what St. Valentine's day is all about. And far from the day after this day becoming a relief to some, it would be a blessing to all.
St. Valentine's is not about carnal love by itself alone. This is the thing with the world nowadays, my darlingest, people associate love with lust to the point when not a lot of us can tell them apart anymore. The plunging moral standards of this world have caused so many to suffer even more, the pains of the life we have to live. And when one thinks about all of this even more, yesterday is one of those days when the numerous symptoms that indicate the approach of calamity for our poor world converge into one undeniable reality - that so much of this poor world has forgotten about our LORD and His ways.
The deadly vices of avarice, greed, covetousness, anger, pride, gluttony as well as lust seem to dominate the landscape of so much human souls that not only has virtue and the art of its grace become almost entirely unknown but the reality of our present times itself as a whole seems to constantly seek to make bitter war against the one Divine Will and this is what I refer to, my dear darlingest Miyang Marie, as the beast of war. And my hatred with All of you of this beast is such that if it only had you, my lovingest love, for its victim, I could not burn any more intense than I am now, in my heart. But this beast has had innumerable other victims and none of them, I promise you, shall remain forgot - such is the will that lives in me, my love, that many times, I am tempted to surrender to the lie that makes me what I am not. For many times, I do not know what I am and yet when I think about my innumerable sins, thinking of where my God is leading me causes me to tremble with fear and shakes my faith to the very foundation - for even though I can not see far enough to know the way, I know with a knowing that penetrates the very fibers of my being that I am utterly not worthy of this way. Indeed, the song "Who Am I" by the Casting Crowns is fast becoming another song of choice for me.
We're going to my uncle's burial today, my dear darlingest. And I also need to help my mom with the things she wants to get from our local market. I have other things I want to write but they will have to wait and I shall have to be patient.
I love you.
Always to always,
