OPEN MY EYES
(Jesse Manibusan)
Open my eyes, Lord. Help me to see your face.
Open my eyes, Lord. Help me to see.
Open my ears, Lord. Help me to hear your voice.
Open my ears, Lord. Help me to hear.
Open my heart, Lord. Help me to love like you.
Open my heart, Lord. Help me to love.
I live within you. Deep in your heart, O Love.
I live within you. Rest now in me
Here is another version by Vanessa Morissey
Very simple song...but a wonderful prayer to do. Let us start today.

Mouth Brooders
I have read about it. I have dreamt about it. Now I am living the dream.
I have a tank with at least 7 female cichlids with either eggs or emerging fry in their mouths.
To an unfamiliar eye, one will not be able to tell if a female is hiding a surprise in their oral cavity, however, once you know where to look, it is actually surprisingly easy to spot
Now I can't wait for the fry to emerge.

Cichlid Heaven!
My fish tank is alive once again.
After a period of recovery from a not so successful planted tank, I had enough of an empty fish tank in the middle of my living room. And after the fiasco of having plants in my tank, I have gone back to the first fish I kept when I started the hobby.
The decision to go back to keeping cichlids was quite simple.
Firstly, they are one of the most colourful species of freshwater fish you will be able to find, rivaling the colour of a marine tank.
Secondly, keeping them entails creating specialised water and tank conditions that will allow the fish to thrive. The tank I did up, recreates the rocky waters of Lake Malawi in the african rift valley. Hard, alkaline water with a rocky habitat are what these fish call home.
Thirdly, these fish really have got character. Fierce, independant and displaying behaviour beyond any other species of fish this size.
The list goes on...
Words don't mean much so take a look

If you want a guided tour to the biotope of Lake Malawi in a living room, give me a buzz and drop by.

Litany of Saints
I have been looking for this for such a long time.
It is a beautiful rendition of the Litany of Saints. This solemn prayer and invocation brings to mind the multitude of holy people that have come and gone before us. They show us a way to our God and that a life of holiness is not unachievable.
And as we recall each and everyone of these men and women of God, we pray that they will help us in our own pilgrimage.
Listen to the Litany of Saints and tell me what you think.
