CHRISTmas Time Na Naman

December 25 na naman therefore Pasko na naman, pero alam nga ba talaga natin ung bakit natin hinihintay ang panahong ito??

Kagabi, habang naglilipat ng channels ng TV, ang dami kong nakikitang mga movies na di umano ay ipinagdidiwang ang CHRISTmas pero, halos lahat ng mga nakita ko eh palabas tungkol kay Santa Claus, sa pamimigay ng regalo, sa kabaitan.......bla bla bla, oo maganda nga't naipapakita natin ang sense of giving and sharing your blessings and all that pero halos wala na yatang nagpapalabas ng nativity story, ang totoong rason kung bakit may Pasko.

Nakapagtataka rin kasi ngayon, parang takot na takot tayong sabihin ang pangalang Jesus o Hesus, sa mga palabas, sa mga commercial, ang sinasabi eh "Siyang ipinanganak sa sabsaban" o "Ang pinanganak sa unang Pasko", hindi ba natin ito masabi, ang pangalang ng nagligtas sa ating lahat. Wala lang kasi ang wierd, ang nasa utak na lang ng karamihan ng mga tao eh si Santa Claus, ang regalo ang mga mapamamaskohan, pero kaya nga tayo nagbibigayan ng regalo eh dahil si Lord mismo ang nagbigay sa atin ng isang napakalaking regalo......si Jesus nga pero kapag CHRISTmas eh iba ang nasa isip natin. Sana naman, bumalik sa puso't isip ng mga tao kung ano talaga ang totoong rason kung bakit tayo nagsasaya

EMMANUEL: Celebrating Heaven's Child

Kaninang 3:00pm, pumunta kaming mag-ina sa GCF Church (Greenhills Christian Fellowship) sa likod ng Robinsons Ortigas, nanood kami ng Emmanuel: Celebrating Heaven's Child.

Nakakatuwa dahil ang gagaling ng mga solowista at nagkita ulit kami nina Ate Lilet at Hannah Mastalero, mga dating taga-FBC. Nakakatuwa't nakita ko si Ate Lilet na kumakanta. Ang galing nga kasi yung isang malaking CHRISTmas tree nila eh stage pala ng Chancel Choir. Basta, ang galing.

Nabalik rin nila sa puso ng mga nanood ang tunay na ibig sabihin ng CHRISTmas, kaya nga tayo nagkaroon ng gift giving dahil si Lord mismo ang nagbigay ng napakalaking regalo sa ating lahat, si Jesus Christ, kung wala ang regalong ito, eh di dapat, kinailangan pa nating isa-isang magbayad ng mga kasalanan natin, eh dahil si Jesus na ang namatay sa cross para sa ating lahat (AND THAT'S ONCE AND FOR ALL NA) (1peter 3 : 18a "For CHRIST died for our sins, once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring us to God."), matatamasa na natin ang Everlasting Life with Him kung tatanggapin lang natin si Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior.

This CHRISTmas season, mas mag-po-post pa ako about this topic..........yung lang

Read out loud the text inside the triangle below. EyeTestT.gif
More than likely you said, "A bird in the bush," and........
if this IS what YOU said, then you failed to see that the word THE is repeated twice!
Sorry, look again.
Next, let's play with some words.
What do you see?
EyeTestT.jpg
In black you can read the word GOOD, in white the word EVIL (inside each black letter is a white letter). It's all very physiological too, because it visualize the concept that good can't exist without evil (or the absence of good is evil ).
Now, what do you see?
file00020.gif
You may not see it at first, but the white spaces read the word optical, the blue landscape reads the word illusion. Look again! Can you see why this painting is called an optical illusion?
What do you see here?

This one is quite tricky!
The word TEACH reflects as LEARN.
Last one.
What do you see?

You probably read the word ME in brown, but.......
when you look through ME
you will see YOU!
Do you need to look again?

ACTS and STUFF

Well, spiritually high na naman ang inyong lingkod, kasi kakatapos lang ng Cell Group namin kanina tapos ACTS pa right after. Nakakalungkot nga lang dahil hindi ako masyado nakikinig sa C.G. kasi inaantok ako (sori Ate Rose). Ang saya naman ng ACTS kanina kasi ang speacher eh si Kuya Dave, nakilala ko na sya dati sa Sibol Camp ng ISCF/IVCF. Ang topic nya kanina eh kung bakit sa kalah-lahatan ng mga taong pwedeng pagsabihan ng Good News eh shepherds pa....isipin mo, bakit hindi nalang yung mga priests, or scribes or elites diba?? yun pala dahil si Lord ay isang Good Sheperd din.......dahil kung iisipin natin, ang imahe ng mga shepherds noong Bible time eh mga taong hindi mapagkakatiwalaan at mga taong isa sa may mabababang social status sa lipunan. Pero, kahit ganoong sila, sila ang mga taong nakikita ng mga bagay na nangyayari sa paligid dahil ang iba'y masyadong busy......also, meron silang yung tinatawag na "A Shepherd's Heart".

Ang isang taong may Shepherd's Heart ay isang taong willing ibigay ang whole self nya para sa mga inaalagaan nyang ''sheep''. Sabi nga ni Kuya Dave, swerte nga tayo dahil si Jesus na ang sumalo ng lahat ng parusa, at dahil mercyful sya, pati enemeies at mga taong ayaw sa kanya ay disidido syang ma-reach-out, at dapat, ganun din tayo. Isa rin eh dapat, willing din tayong sumunod sa Kanya.

Basta, mahaba na ito, mahal na (bakit tawag ba ito)........inaantok na rin kasi ako eh.......bukas na lan......FAIR!!!!

Cell Group Namin

5th meeting na naman sa cell group nina LC, Ianne, Hanna at ako, well, may 'small group' din naman ako sa church pero ito ang first sa school. Pero ito na yata ang nagdala ng pinakamalaking blessing sa akin, dahil ang grupo namin ay may friend na hindi namin, kasundo, Relationships ang naging topic namin, at very timely nga naman, nakakatuwa pa eh kusang sumali sa amin si Isma, na matagal ko ng pinag-pray dahil once na nyang naantig ang aking damdamin dahil emo, sya noon at may problemang kami-kami na lang siguro ang makakaalam, pero salamat at nakilala nya si Lord ay ngayon, mukhang maayos ang kanilang samahan, isa itong answered prayer. Basta, anyway, nakasabay ko na naman sa pag-uwi si Mymy, wala lang, ang saya talaga ng araw na ito, yun lang, goodbye.

hahahahaha, ang taray daw ba?

ACTS 11/06/08

Ang speaker namin kanina eh si Ate Lila, pisay alumnus at Growing Deaper In God ang topic nya, tinamaan ako kasi prayer person ako kung tutuusin at hindi just accepting Christ in your heart ang mahalaga but understanding what that its meaning is. sabi nga sa Bible na you are saved by grace through faith and not by yourself so that no one should boast, kasi nga, we really, as in really, really, really don't deserve His salvation and mercy, but because of His immense love, He sent Jesus Christ here to die for all of us for ALL of our sins, maging yesterday, today or tomorrow pa man yang sins mo. Also, evangelism is not done by cornering a person and making God a fire exit for his sins, that person must be ablt to understand the real gift he has received. Sabi nga ni Ate, Christians must make God their way of life, as in si God mismo ang buhay mo.

sorry, pagod na kasi ako kaya maikli lang ito.

Pres. Elect. Barack Obama's Speech after Winning



CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) -- Sen. Barack Obama spoke at a rally in Grant Park in Chicago, Illinois, after winning the race for the White House Tuesday night. The following is an exact transcript of his speech.

Obama:

Hello, Chicago.

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.

It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.

It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.

We are, and always will be, the United States of America.

It's the answer that led those who've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.

It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.

A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Sen. McCain.

Sen. McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he's fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.

I congratulate him; I congratulate Gov. Palin for all that they've achieved. And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.

I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.

And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation's next first lady Michelle Obama.

Sasha and Malia I love you both more than you can imagine. And you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the new White House.

And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother's watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight. I know that my debt to them is beyond measure.

To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you've given me. I am grateful to them.

And to my campaign manager, David Plouffe, the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best -- the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America.

To my chief strategist David Axelrod who's been a partner with me every step of the way.

To the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done.

But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you. It belongs to you.

I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn't start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington. It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause.

It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep.

It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not perished from the Earth.

This is your victory.

And I know you didn't do this just to win an election. And I know you didn't do it for me.

You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime -- two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.

Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.

There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after the children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage or pay their doctors' bills or save enough for their child's college education.

There's new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair.

The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.

I promise you, we as a people will get there.

There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the government can't solve every problem.

But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it's been done in America for 221 years -- block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.

What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night.

This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.

It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.

So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.

Let us remember that, if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers.

In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people. Let's resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.

Let's remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House, a party founded on the values of self-reliance and individual liberty and national unity.

Those are values that we all share. And while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.

As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies but friends. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.

And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your president, too.

And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.

To those -- to those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security: We support you. And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright: Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.

That's the true genius of America: that America can change. Our union can be perfected. What we've already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.

This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight's about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.

She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons -- because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.

And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America -- the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.

At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.

When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.

When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.

She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that "We Shall Overcome." Yes we can.

A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.

And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change.

Yes we can.

America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves -- if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?

This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment.

This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.

Thank you. God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America.
