Morality and The Dogs


I feel like I have to say something, with all the rampant issues in the society today. It seems that the world wide web has given people a louder voice, and an unbelievably huge amount of courage to say what's on their mind about anything and everything.

I know there was this issue about a comedian making a joke about very delicate social issues, and there have been pretty severe blows from both sides, celebrities and non celebrities, about the matter. What saddens me recently (in fact, just this morning), is a statement that a friend of mine retweeted. which is something like, " If you get offended by comedy, it just shows what kind of person you are."

Excuse me?

I think its time I put a premium on morality, and beliefs. Most of the times I just stay silent on such issues, but as of late I have been pretty much bothered by how things contradictory to my beliefs have been so blatant and outspoken, and yet I sit here keeping my mouth shut. I feel like I letting them think that they are completely right and I'm the one who should be thinking otherwise.

I don't believe that morality is lost in this day and age. I believe its because it has become the road less traveled,  that people are more driven by their impulses and desires, and today's technology encourages that-instant gratification. But I also know that there is a big possibility it will get run over, if someone doesn't speak up and gives morality hope.

It all begins with the fear of the Lord.

Everytime you open your mouth, send a tweet, write a status, or post in your blog, think about what God will say. I am not perfect, I do make mistakes and sometimes cave into "papatulan kita". Its reflex human reaction. So is selfishness. Our role as Christians is to glorify God, not ourselves. Every action, every turn should be as He pleases. That is the very least  we can do.

I think its time to speak up, but more importantly, it's time to act out what beliefs we stand for. If the world is loud, then we Christians should fight back harder.

Please dont let morality go to the dogs.

Hugs and Tugs

I feel that our church, International Charismatic Service, is something like a bee hive these past few months. It's buzzing ( pun intended) with palpable energy. We have several activities and projects running simultaneously as of the moment, and sometimes I cant catch up! But nevertheless, I'm so excited and I cant wait to jump in. You've already heard of the homegrown album launch and concert happening this June 16. But another exciting milestone that ICS is anticipating is the preschool center that will open this month. Yup, sometimes I cant believe it myself! Finally, a school in our church! And with Matteo nearing the preschool age soon, can God's timing be any more perfect? This year, Matteo's second cousin Noah will be one of the first students. Will your child be one of them? I am really so overwhelmed by the pace of God's work that has suddenly been poured into our church. I love the passion and vision that the current pastoral staff has been thriving...

Honor

There are things you do with great honor. Like fighting for your country. Serving the poor. Dying a martyr. But those are huge things. There are small stuff that makes you swell with pride. Here's a few of mine 1. Treating patients and they get better 2. Taking care of my child  3. Studying my a** off A few weeks ago, I was part of the entourage for two of our dearest friends, Wendy and Gj. We have witnessed most of their journey together as friends ( when they were so thick skinned and they didnt know how perfect they were for each other- seriously, its like you want to slap them again, and again until they break out their trance haha). But like everything in life, its all in God's perfect time, and sure enough that fateful day of Nov, 23, 2013, God let them have their happy ever after. I did forget to mention one small detail: their wedding was the day before my diplomate board exams. Crap, do i hate oral exams, given the fact that I almost failed my revalida during med schoo...
