The Class Comedian

Roberto Bulias, one of my Sunday Class student in the ministry. When you see him personally you would think that he is a shy type of kid, lack of energy and weak. He is a skinny kid and he looks unhealthy. But his physical appearance became a bridge to laughter. He thinks of it as a gift to make other people happy. I can see in him that he is happy when he makes others happy. He is the class comedian, he makes funny faces to make his classmates laugh, and He is not easily angered, even if sometimes he is hit because of their “high level of energy “ , he just laugh about it.

During my class today, his classmates bullied him and put an ink in his face using a color pen. I expected him to cry or get irritated, but he just uses it to portray as if he were a terrorist and the laughter begins.

He is amazing, he laughs a lot. But don’t think he’s crazy, I don’t think he is. He is just a jolly kid. He makes his classmates laugh, he makes me laugh, and for sure he will make you laugh.

A laughter that can make your day perfect and stress free!

Still laughter is the best medicine!

LOVE!

Today, February 14, we celebrate the Valentines day, in remembrance of St. Valentine. Celebrating love and affection between intimate companions. This is the day were love is on the air. We give flowers and chocolates to the one we love. Giving surprises, etcetera.


Mostly that's what we're thinking during valentines. We forget the true meaning of LOVE. The powerful meaning of LOVE! The Agape Love of God which revealed to us through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. The love that saves and gave assurance of eternal life.


I want to share to you this bible verses that talks about love:




John 3:16


"For God so love the world that He gave His only Son, that who ever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life."




And from the book of 1 Corinthians Chapter 13 : 1 - 13 says:



 ¹ If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.


 ² If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.


 ³ If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

 ⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 

⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 

⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

⁸ Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

⁹ For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

¹⁰ but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 

¹¹ When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 

¹²For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

¹³ And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is LOVE.

Let love and peace reign in the whole world! God Bless Us all!

PRE- VALENTINES!

February 13, 2011 (Sunday) the day before Valentines day. I am not feeling well and not in the mood to report in the ministry. But i don't have a choice i have to, because it is my responsibility, it's my duty and the kids are expecting me. Blah...blah..blah.....blah....


To make this long story short why this is entitled Pre-Valentines, here are some pictures that made my day perfect and my valentines more happy.

These kids are really adorable.....:)

3 Seconds Matter!

Sponsor a Child

Three seconds seems hardly worth mentioning. It goes by so fast. What can one really do in such a short amount of time? In fact, it has taken you longer than three seconds just to read to the end of this sentence. So how could it be so significant?

Here's how: Every three seconds a child under age 5 dies somewhere in the world from a preventable cause such as diarrhea, malaria and measles. Right now, a little girl is breathing her last breath because she didn't have access to clean water. And a little boy won't wake from his sleep because he got a sickness that could have been prevented with a $1 vaccination. None of it has to happen.

God has called His Church to reach out to the poor and the needy — to take care of His children. In Proverbs, He tells us to "speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves." In James, we're called to "look after orphans and widows in their distress." In all, more than 2,000 verses in the Bible address children and the poor. God is that serious about it. He has commanded us to get involved. The very least we can do as a church is pray. Please take some time today to pray for the millions of children in the world who are suffering in sickness that could and should be prevented. Then, if you feel led, give to an organization on the frontline of the battle. One such ministry is Compassion International (compassion.com). Compassion ministers to more than 800,000 impoverished children around the world.

It's time for us to get involved. Every three seconds we hesitate is another life that could have been saved.

Courage, Integrity and Loyalty, this is their motto, being engraved in their hearts and mind. I was carried away by this words and had some insights on the present situation in our country. I will just keep this on my mind :).. All i want is to share with you the meaning of these three words. 

************************************************************

COURAGE! INTEGRITY! LOYALTY!

By: JOSE M. CRISOL, PMA '42

There are three words that are deeply entrenched in a cadet's heart, three words that he zealously guards against defilement and pollution. These three are: COURAGE, LOYALTY, and INTEGRITY. They are not cold and meaningless abstractions. They are not merely words. They are beacon lights that illumine the way as the cadet journeys toward the goal of his ambitions. They form the vertices of the triangle that bind the limits of the sphere of his conduct. This triumvirate of manly virtues is the basic pillar of a cadet's character. A failing or a weakening of one eventuates in the collapse of the moral make-up of a cadet. Each in conjunction with the other two acts as a moral fortress to safeguard the cadet against the onslaughts of the vicious and corruptive influences of the world.

COURAGE!

The first word in the motto of the Academy is COURAGE. By the very nature of the career for which the cadet is being rigorously trained, it is plainly evident that this soldierly quality should come first. A cadet is an officer in the making. He has chosen to embrace the noble profession of arms and has consecrated himself to its ideals. The career of a soldier calls for a fighting spirit, a stout heart, and a militant disposition. In the scheme of life, a soldier is prominently a fighter. He cannot be such unless he has the elemental virtue of soldiership: COURAGE.

An officer does not fight his battles alone. He leads men to battle, and it requires a greater degree of courage to be the heart and soul of a fighting unit. It is hardly conceivable that a man who is faint of heart and weak of knee could lead men victoriously in battle. By courage is meant not merely daring and fearlessness. COURAGE is a generic term. It means the fortitude with which Washington met the adversaries at Valley Forge during the darkest hours of the American Revolution. It means the gallantry and valor that General Del Pilar displayed in his heroic defense of Tirad Pass. It means the bravery and prowess of Hannibal when he picked up the gauntlet thrown at him by the seemingly formidable Alps. It means the boldness of the Light Brigade in their famous charge which Tennyson has ably immortalized in stirring poetry. It means the passive courage which enabled the early Christians to meet persecutions and martyrdom with a smile on their lips and a song in their hearts.

By COURAGE in the motto of the Academy is meant one who is tempered by judicious judgment. It does not in the least imply reckless daring and fool-hardy dauntlessness. By COURAGE is meant not merely to be able to walk right into the mouth of a belching cannon, unflinchingly, or to be able to face a firing squad calmly and serenely. It also means moral courage: the fearlessness to stand up and fight for what one thinks is right. It is the courage to defend one's ideals against an erring world. It is the courage to be able to acknowledge a wrong in the face of a jeering and hooting multitude. It is the courage to be able to persevere in the midst of the most trying circumstances. It is the courage to be able to stand firm on one's convictions.

LOYALTY!

LOYALTY is the second word in the motto. It means allegiance permeated with strong and enthusiastic feeling or sentiment. It means loyalty to loved ones; loyalty to superiors; loyalty to constituted authority; loyalty, solid and indivisible, to the country. A disloyal soldier has no place in an organized and disciplined army. No element can be more disruptive to any organization than a rebellious, treacherous, and disloyal member. Loyalty is the binding and unifying force in any army. It is the invisible chain of steel that links men together. Remove the spirit of loyalty from the members of a command and the unit will collapse like a house of cards. This soldierly virtue is a preponderant factor in welding men in a spirit of harmonious relationship and mutual understanding and sympathy.

By LOYALTY in the motto is meant one which emphasizes the idea of objective obligation. It is the loyalty as exemplified by those who, loyal to the last to the country's cause, 'died in the night' fighting against formidable odds to bestow upon their posterity a heritage of liberty championed by a government founded upon the ideals and principles of democracy. It is the loyalty that looks upon mutiny and treachery as despicable and odious. It is loyalty that looks upon the crime of Benedict Arnold as heinous and unpardonable. Loyalty, however, does not contenance blind obedience. It does not approve of obnoxious officiousness. Loyalty - yes, but not fawning and cringing servility. It is loyalty that is wise and discreet, not enslaving and debasing.

INTEGRITY!

Now comes the third and last word which is all-encompassing and highly paramount: INTEGRITY. This trait of character is the most important of the three. The other two may be disregarded but never, never this third. Strike out the third and a cadet or any man for that matter will be a wretch, a scum of the lowest stratum of society, an abominable creature who is a living dead. This quality a cadet must possess to the highest degree not only because his future career exacts it from him but also because he is a part of the body politic whose members should rightfully be men of integrity. INTEGRITY means honesty, uprightness, moral soundness. A cadet should guard his moral rectitude zealously lest it be stigmatized or blemished. History records the degeneracy of races, the disintegration of nations, the decline and fall of power and dominancy of what had been strong peoples because of the low and ruinous morals that gripped them. To secure to himself, therefore, an unimpeachable integrity the cadet has entrusted himself under the hallowed guardianship of an Honor Code.

INTEGRITY is a man's delicate asset. It is hard to keep it untarnished in a world that seethes with profligate vices and degenerate crimes. Yet if he can keep it unstained inspite of the malignant forces of evil, he has passed man's greatest ordeal. It is needless to theorize, it is superfluous to expostulate on the advisability of possessing an integrity that defies reproach. What does it profit a man if he has the whole world trampled under his iron heels but is a moral wreck? The military profession is one profession that demands an extremely high degree of integrity. A man of low morals and weak principles unindoctrinated in the rules of upright living and good conduct is a hateful pest that is unwanted in the army and in society as a whole. We hear of antrocious crimes committed by unprincipled soldiers in time of war. Crimes of unfold vulgarity and meanness that we blush when we hear of them. Those soldiers had courage; they had loyalty. But they lacked that one vital virtue: INTEGRITY. In the absence of this manly quality, they became a curse of humanity instead of professed protectors of the weak and the defenseless. Such is the importance of integrity in men who live by the sword.

COURAGE! LOYALTY! INTEGRITY! It is not a lip-motto; it is a living commitment. In and by this motto a cadet shall live and die if necessary.

What a Wonderful World!

/*Louis Armstrong*/

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.

I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.




* What a wonderful world for you and me... created by our Almighty Father.
Let us all take care of it, even in our own simple ways. 
If we keep on destroying it, thy coming days
it will fade away!

When Raindrops and Tears Collide!

Darkness invades the heavens

Dwellers move to their havens

Inescapable memoirs dwell in

And hearts started aching

Pain through the whole being

That let the teardrops falling

Attempting to see the world

But shoulders around are cold

Lightning and thunder strikes

Directly to the bottom of the heart

Followed by the rain

That appends to the pain

How terrible it was

Remembering the past

Started with a sweet dream

But in a nightmare it ends

Underneath this rainfall

To the heavens scream

Wash away this torment!

Let this tears collide

To the raindrops from the sky

And to the lament say goodbye…
