I just remembered a few lines from the song, "Hosanna", performed by Hillsong which affects me greatly everytime I listen to it.
"Heal my heart and make it clean, Open up my eyes to the things unseen, Show me how to love like You have loved me… [...]

It’s true that you can’t realize how fortunate you are in spite of all the hardships and trials you go through… UNTIL you see others who are in worse situations than what you’re in.
You think the world has conspired against you… that the walls around you are crumbling… that you cannot bear any more problems [...]

Did you know that there are people still out there who actually help others without expecting anything in return?  I’m not talking about relatives and family members, ok? …that’s a given.
I’m talking about friends… distant acquaintances… even strangers… people who are, in one way or another, also in need… sometimes even in dire desperation, but [...]

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.

Some people get the misconception that once you have a renewed and more intimate relationship with the Lord, all your problems go away. On the contrary, they don’t.

Tonight, I thank the Lord for another opportunity for me to prove my faith and trust in Him.

An inspiring Christian movie that tugs your heart and lifts your spirit. Wonderful production values as well. Who would’ve thought that a [...]

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, [...]

Yesterday, I had the most pleasant surprise from my little boy, Ralph.  No, it wasn’t anything like he needed acne treatment.  It wasn’t so much what he did, but what he said.
During one of our usual simple family conversations in the living room, he excused himself and announced that he was about to commence his private prayer with [...]
