More than 10 years ago, email was the craze. Everybody had an email address and forwarded messages that filled the limited mailboxes. Nowadays, email has been replaced by social networking sites which offer much more, in real time. One can now post continuous messages. One hears a blow-by-blow account of someone else’s thoughts and escapades. A plethora of words flood cyberspace, not to mention the billions of text messages (SMS) that send telecom companies in the Philippines laughing their way to the banks.
But words are cheap (though not quite in the Philippines where a text message costs a P1.50 or more). Words have become so commonplace. We hear them, read them, text them, twit them and google them.
But in many cases, we don’t keep them, for one simple reason. Words have been truncated from their source and ultimate object — the person, who is definitely bigger, more noble and more important than the words he or she can utter, or the words that can be uttered about him or her.
Curiously, the good news today would have us put back that intimate link between word and person. The words that one utters stand for the truth about the person, the truth within the person, and the truth that is the person. Words, taken apart from the person as subject or object, are just letters put together,maybe “full of sound and fury, [but] signifying nothing.”
The core of the good news has to do with the Divine Word, uttered from the beginning, the Word become Flesh, second person of the Trinity. Word and Person are intimately united in Christ. As Word of God, He is one with the Father, and was true to His nature as God, true to the Father.
We are called to the same oneness and intimacy and to be incorporated in Christ so as to become sharers in this Trinitarian life and mystery. But we need to do our part. “If you love me, you will keep my Word.” Fr. Chito Dimaranan, SDB
Reflection Question:
Am I careful with the words that I speak about a person?
Lord, tame my tongue so that I may never hurt anyone with the words that I speak.

No Greater Love
Jesus said to his disciples:
“As the Father loves me, so I also love you.
Remain in my love.
If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love,
just as I have kept my Father’s commandments
and remain in his love.
“I have told you this so that my joy might be in you
and your joy might be complete.
This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.
No one has greater love than this,
to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
You are my friends if you do what I command you.
I no longer call you slaves,
because a slave does not know what his master is doing.
I have called you friends,
because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father.
It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you
and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain,
so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you.
This I command you: love one another.” - Jn 15:9-17
Good morning World!
A lot of things may happen in a day.Usually we plan out things first time in a day,that's in our bed,our table,kitchen,garden& in our pace. But most of the things happens in a day is not based on our planner.Most of the things really surprise us.
At the end of the day in our beds and room as we take rest, we just simply surrender what had happen and thank GOD for all those things.
I believe its the same things in the totality of LOVE.
Most of the people around us,we ought them to Love. Especially, Friends and Family.But when a test comes in our relationship, we forget what is to love. We then we want is to hate.Our for such a person then be wash away by our hate and selfish decision to them. The verse above reminds me of the Love of Christ to me and you.
That he is our Master.more than that he offer himself to us a Friend.
He lay down his life to us in such a kind of a way of Friend.
Friends always guide and support each other especially in tough times.
Christ reminds us that when you longer see a friend into a friend,when you see a friend to the perspective point of an enemy, when all of your trust and love to that friend is gone,when your friend became your sudden foe. Christ commandment to us is this
LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
i believe this is the kind of love that this generation always share.Amidst of whats happening in the world right now.And we must try To Be Loving than to be righteous.
And all of this LOVE is meant to give glory to the father more than to our friends.

Discernment
Discernment is the ability to distinguish right from wrong, true from false—to "test everything; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil" (1Thess 5:21-22)
time
Time to give glory to You. Time, I need to spend more time, just a little more time to spend with You.
I really have no good excuses, you've given me the breath of life. The least I could do is sip this cup with you, Drink up your love alleviate the strife.

Nahitimbakuwas ang akong panan-aw
Sa kalit nga pagdailos
Sa imong patadyong
Daw ang labtik sa pasol
Tadlas nianang nag-ugdo nga kabilin
Diha sa puti mong hulagway.
Kaayong pagkaladlad
Sa duha ka biyoos, nanuyhakaw
Diha sa kabuntagon.
Kaayong ikinto ibabaw sa akong balikhaw!
Kaayong isinggit paghinay!
Kay samtang nagpanglingi ka
Kon wa bay nakaambit sa imong pagpabaya,
Nagbingkil ang mga dahon,
Gitukmod sa lunhaw ang laya
Aron motipon sa yuta;
Nasaag ang huyuhoy,
Miong-ong ang akong mga mata
Ilawom sa gamot sa kahoy;
Midailos pag samot ang patadyong
Napasapasa ang imong kaanindot,
Gisapnay ka sa mga balud,
Gisapupo ka sa tinubdan
Sa kahayag ug anino,
Gitinguha ka sa mga lusay
Aron himoong gapasan
Sa ilang alimungaw,
Gihulad kang way kaindig
Sa mga tinguha sa daman ug damgo,
Ang imong pusod garbo sa Ludabi,
Ang imong kiaykiay lunsayng pinay;
Gipasangil ko sa langit
Ang akong himaya
Kay sa paghagtos sa pasol
Gibinlan mog taga ang akong kasingkasing.
Sa kalit nga pagdailos
Sa imong patadyong
Daw ang labtik sa pasol
Tadlas nianang nag-ugdo nga kabilin

Gugmang di na ba gayud mahibalik?
Ohh. gugmang gikalimtan sa hingpit!
Gugmang sa maka usa atong gisawhan
Gugmang sa damggo na Balang..

A Path with you. Nov 5, '09 3:55 AM
“Anything is one of a million paths. Therefore, a warrior must always keep in mind that a path is only a path; if he feels that he should not follow it, he must not stay with it under any conditions. His decision to keep on that path or to leave it must be free of fear or ambition. He must look at every path closely and deliberately. There is a question that a warrior has to ask, mandatorily: ‘Does this path have a heart?’”

The amazing thing about the human body is it has 100 trillion cells and 90% of them are not
human cells. They’re fungi and bacteria, microorganisms … the thing that makes us human is
not human. So within us is, basically, the back story of life on earth right to that first original
cell 40 million centuries ago, and if you could, for a moment, stop and feel what is happening in
your body, there are 6 septillion things going on at the same time – that’s a 6 with 24 zeroes
after it – going on, right this instant as you sit in your chair and then in the next instant.
Within 10 seconds, 100 more things have happened than in all the stars and planets and
asteroids in the known universe, in your body. And that is called life.

Lifted Light!
a day that appears that my heart wanders
I really dont know why i am not contented
of the test and peace
that came from above
I obey and accept then
a destiny that i never dream
thats why now i will pursue
my beloved
of my search of the learn that
i exist of its fullness of the tip of the world
where we stand and breath
i did notice that
a spark of light that is much brighter than the rays of the cosmos.
i offer to you my love
of which is not of a worldly heat
and of my only treasure in this world
that waits of the wisdom of the key to my heart
then there i never expect that our hearts spirits been lifted
raise up to eternity.

DANCING WITH GOD:
When I meditated on the word Guidance
I kept seeing 'dance' at the end of the word.
I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing.
When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.
The movement doesn't flow with the music,
and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.
When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead,
both bodies begin to flow with the music.
One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back
or by pressing lightly in one direction or another.
It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully.
The dance takes surrender, willingness,
and attentiveness from one person
and gentle guidance and skill from the other.
My eyes drew back to the word Guidance.
When I saw 'G: I thought of God, followed by 'u' and 'i'.
'God, 'u' and 'i' dance'
God, you, and I dance.
As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust
that I would get guidance about my life.
Once again, I became willing to let God lead.
My prayer for you today is that God's blessings
and mercies be upon you on this day and everyday.
"May you abide in God as God
abides in you".
Dance together with God, trusting God to lead
and to guide you through each season of your life.
And I Hope You Dance!!
Let's Dance...
