E’en So

(Buy this CD to hear this sung by the Kansas City Chorale on Track 12.)

Peace be to you and grace from Him / Who freed us from our sin / Who loved us all, and shed his blood / That we might saved be.

Sing holy, holy to our Lord / The Lord almighty God / Who was and is, and is to come / Sing holy, holy Lord.

Rejoice in heaven, all ye that dwell therein / Rejoice on earth, ye saints below / For Christ is coming, Is coming soon / For Christ is coming soon.

E’en so Lord Jesus quickly come / And night shall be no more / They need no light, no lamp, nor sun / For Christ will be their All!

E’en So Lord Jesus Quickly Come by Paul Manz

Rev 22

I’m Feeling Flaky

I woke up this morning to this. Now to resurrect the Pencam, put on some layers, and go out trekking.

Fist of the Law

Abu Sayyaf brigand at court hearing tries to grab guard’s rifle, gets punched out by state prosecutor. How’s that for justice?

A quick-thinking state prosecutor did a Manny Pacquiao last Tuesday when he knocked down a suspected Abu Sayyaf bandit who tried to wrestle away the M-16 rifle of a jail guard after a court hearing.

Western Mindanao assistant regional prosecutor Ricardo Cabaron floored Mubin Ibba with an upper cut although the latter was taller and better built than he. Ibba is facing charges in connection with the Aug. 8, 2001, beheading of nine residents of Balobo village.

What’s Your Safeway?

Large map of DC Safeways: Social, Soviet, Sixties, Senior, Secret, Spanish… In DC, every Safeway has a name. Social Safeway in Georgetown, for example, is the upscale Meet Market, while Soviet Safeway on 17th Street NW has long lines, short supplies, and narrow aisles. Myself, I get my groceries from the nearest one to my office: “Secret Safeway,” called “Townhouse” and hidden along a back street near the corner of Florida and Connecticut Ave NW.

Update: DCist carries the exhaustive Capital Safeway list.
