i dare you to move: Veritas et Aequitas

I was so close to getting my registration yesterday
but now they need a copy of my year 12 transcript
to see my english exam results.

Year 12.
that was so long ago!
I didn't even finish year 12 in this decade!
sigh.

ok, so my frustration level is peaking,
but as my friend always reminds me...
.. God is still on the throne! haha

tomorrow night I am heading into the city
with some other YWAMmers
to volunteer for the Invisible Children
awareness event (The Rescue)
for the children who are abducted in
Sudan/Uganda/Congo/CAR
for the rebel army.

you can see The Rough Cut here
which gives a background on the organisation
and the plight of these children.
there is an updated video on the site also,
with the current situation
and their blog.

so tomorrow night, in 90 cities around the world,
people will gather for a solemn march and
sleep on the street to bring awareness of these tragedies.

To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

A robin redbreast in a cage
Puts all heaven in a rage.

A dove-house fill'd with doves and pigeons
Shudders hell thro' all its regions.
A dog starv'd at his master's gate
Predicts the ruin of the state.

A horse misused upon the road
Calls to heaven for human blood.
Each outcry of the hunted hare
A fibre from the brain does tear.

A skylark wounded in the wing,
A cherubim does cease to sing.
The game-cock clipt and arm'd for fight
Does the rising sun affright.
