I really appreciated how Coach Enrico presented the preaching earlier today about adultery and lust. It began from the Beatitudes in Matthew 5:8 which says,
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”

You Deserve More Than Secondhand Love
It’s just that, more than anything, I want to tell you that rather than waiting on every word that comes from the mouth of a blogger, you can choose to wait and meditate on every word that comes from the mouth of God. Nothing could substitute that – no matter how seemingly well-written or timely. Every other source should be secondary.

An Escolta + Estero Weekend
A few months ago, my friend and I decided to do something outside the usual Saturday morning routine. After breakfast, we rode a jeepney to Escolta and visited The Hub Make Lab and The Den (Map). Then, we walked through China Town under the heat of the sun to find the sea food place popularly known as Estero, aptly named for its location–right beside a tiny creek.
Reconnect
I was browsing through old notes and unfinished write-ups where I found this and decided to complete it:
This morning I woke up, opened my laptop and tried to open Facebook as I usually do. But today there’s a pop-up on my laptop saying I owe 200 pesos to my service provider, hence my internet connection is “restricted”. I had to pay the remaining amount so that the connection could be returned.
Rage, Rage
Have you ever had that time when you felt that your heart has been stagnant almost inactive? I know I have. It is unlike those days that I feel on fire for the Word, on fire to inspire and to encourage. It feels like just passing by. Like I’m living on the bare minimum, just passing through the moment.
And somehow, these words resounded to me:
“Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”
These words are from a poem by Dylan Thomas. Analysts say it’s a poem about fighting death—the physical kind, about not allowing yourself to passively wait for “that good night”, about fighting for life as much as you can.
Weddings are reminders for me that God has a grand plan for our lives. 🙂
When Joan Sed I Do
Leader, Not Boss
We must lead without demanding, motivate without manipulating, encourage without expecting compliance. We pray for people and we let them take charge of their relationship with God.
