Easter Sunday

20130401-010247.jpg

Been in Ottawa since Wednesday last week.

Today was the first time I actually sat down and paused.
Things have been very crazy.

I am not here on a pleasure trip but it’s turning out to be quite a fun time with my family. Especially during our trying times.

As tradition, I usually present a song for Easter.
I normally prepare a song of worship.
Not this year, I guess.

I’ll be honest with you, I haven’t believed in miracles in a while.
I think miracles only happen to those who have money and/or good looking.

The beautiful people get everything.
I, sadly don’t have both.

I don’t believe in miracles.
Do you know what I believe in?

Family.
I believe in family.

That’s why I am here.
And with the faith I have in my family,
I start to believe in hope.

It may be too late, but it is still something to hold on to.

Here’s to hoping your Easter weekend was good.

PS- Sincerest thanks to my friends who have extended their support. You know who you are. Thank you.

Pro-Life?

Well, there you have it folks.

Terri Schiavo died today.

The whole cycle of Euthanasia is complete.

You know what ticks me off on the whole thing?
The way it was handled.

They put the feeding tube in,
they take it out.
They put it back in,
they take it out again.

What is the deal????

Well, now maybe there was a higher power that took her,
and saved her from all this crap.

And another thing that won’t leave my head,
I think I read this somewhere,
I just can’t remember who said it.
But I strongly believe it might be George Carlin.

“Those who are Pro-Life,
are usually the ones in favour of the death penalty.”

I think it’s the same arrogance as,
“Everybody wants to go to heaven,
but no one wants to die.”

People are weird.

Note to self:
Check out some “Living Wills.”

Happy Easter

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

Growing up in the Philippines, where Catholicism is the dominant religion,
it was always assumed that everyone practices the same faith.
I have met some Muslims, Born again, Protestants and other religious sects,
but Christianity there is still the majority.

Only here in Canada where I got to recognize other beliefs and practices.
I have met people who say they believe in a higher power, but not God.
I have met Atheists, who does not believe in anything.
I met people who solely trust in fate.
And people who just wants the one religion with the most holidays.
(I call them government employees)

Anyways, as much as I am curious about them,
they are also curious about me being a Christian and the practices that we do.

I totally believe that everyone should have the right to practice their faith.
Whatever it may be.

But the only thing I despise is when they force their religion down your throat,
accusing you of wrong beliefs and tell you that they are the chosen ones.

I remember one time, I had this conversation with a friend,
who practices a religion that was founded by a Filipino,
who they think is the messenger of God and therefore his Prophet.

This guy basically told me that “They” are the only chosen ones to go to heaven.
So, I said,
“Hmmmmm.. really?”
Well. Considering that,
I pity the Lord up on high, because if you guys are the only chosen ones to be with him,
Heaven would only be filled by Filipinos.
He would go insane in a matter of minutes.
Imagine all the gossips he had to hear?
He would freak out and leave you guys alone.”

HAhahaha!! Oh well,
Let’s just say that my friend did not appreciate that and just told me to go to hell.
So I did.

I went to Canada. (Just kidding!)

Well, this update is going nowhere,
so I just want to say,
Happy Easter to everybody.

And may the word of God be known.
How wonderful it is to be living with the “Living God.”
My own Lord Saviour, sacrificed himself, for me.
To prove that evil will have nothing over me.
Amen!

Now all those who want to believe in Him say HELL YEAH!!!!

Just Kidding! (did I just hear the thunder?)
