More insights..

Faith, FAITH, & fAiTh! I never get tired of writing about faith. Ever heard of the cliche, "Faith can move mountains"? Do you really believe that nothing is impossible with God?

When i was a little kid i had a book titled "Nothing Is Impossible With God". I found this book very handy everytime i encounter difficulties in life. This is not your typical book you read from cover to cover. You only open this book when you are down and need some consolation. You refer to the index such as "money" "fear" "health" every single thing you can possibly think of is in that book. It's like God talking to you directly and explaining everything to you. At the end of every chapter is a prayer. This is how i've learned to pray. Faith & Prayer are comparable to an archeologic discovery. You have to continue to seek and work hard until you find it. And once you have found it, it's a treasure that no one else can steal from you.

I can talk for days about faith. About my feelings on faith and prayer. I knew from the beginning that my mom's passing had a significant role in my life, that would be another blog entry.

Thank you Jesus for the gift of faith and the power of prayer. :)

Things to think about..

It is not right ...........

1. To base your judgment of one person's character on the things that are only visible to the eyes.
2. To favor somebody over another.
3. To disrespect people because of the way they look or their status in life.
4. Sleep without even saying a small prayer.

10. To not express your love to the people you really care about.
11. To wait till a person dies before we actually praise that person for the good things he/she has done. Your eulogy will be worthless.
