I haven’t had the chance to blog lately… I really can’t say it was only by circumstance but somehow, a whole lot of things… physically and emotionally, have somehow contributed to my lack of enthusiasm in blogging the past weeks.
Not to mention that I totally lost my voice 2 Sundays ago right after Community Mass.  [...]

Earlier this evening, I came from the hospital where my grandfather was admitted. He was in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) and was pretty much in bad shape when I came to see him. Most of his immediate family were there to get word on his condition… some offered prayers and made sure the doctors [...]

Summer is here! If you’re a parent to adolescent kids, you’re probably wondering where you could take your little rascals to for a vacation. Search no more… GenRev, the student (youth) arm of the Elim community is holding it’s annual retreat and this time it’s being held in Cebu City!  So gather your [...]

My wife and I decided to do our fasting today. As you might probably know, there are different kinds of fasting… of course the most common of them all and the first that comes to mind is the practice of either (1) not eating meat; or (2) abstaining from food altogether.

Last Sunday… me, my wife and the kids, attended the birthday party of our good friend’s little baby. I thought to myself that other than the kids enjoying the celebration, it was also a great opportunity for the entire family to bond and have fun.

I’m really excited to read this new book I got entitled, “It’s Not About Me”, a New York Times Bestseller by author, Max Lucado. As I was going through some reading selections and other inspirational books over at our local bookstore, this particular book caught my attention… could be the packaging, could also be [...]

This particular Christmas of 2007 was probably one the least spent on in terms of money as far as I could remember.  Not by choice but by circumstance… and yet, it was THE best Christmas we, as a family, have ever had!
It gave us an opportunity to truly focus our hearts and minds to the true [...]

Christmas eve is tonight… we are spending our Christmas with our community which is actually probably the BEST way to celebrate the coming of the Savior.
My prayers for everyone is that they may reflect and remember (and for some, ultimately realize) the true and ONLY meaning of Christmas Day.
It’s isn’t about the shopping, the revelry, the parties, [...]

It recently was the first Saturday of December and my kids are well aware that every first Saturday of the month means that it’s “Kidz Life” time!  The gathering started a bit earlier than the previous months (about an hour ahead).
Kidz Life, for those wondering what it is, is actually a praise and worship assembly made just for [...]
