The Big Bully On The Block (The Height Of Hypocrisy)




versus




In a few days from now, three Pinoys convicted of carrying illegal drugs to China will be executed with lethal injections. No amount of cries for mercy from the whole Filipino nation represented by our government could move the Chinese government to stay the execution and commute their sentences to life imprisonment. They mouth about justice for the poor people of China victimized by drugs brought by these drug couriers. They did not even consider that these drug mules were just victims of international drug syndicates who lured them with drug money. Now they preach us about victims of drugs. But their nationals who operate multi billion shabu laboratories and who run most of the drug syndicates in our country are summarily deported after being caught. They do not even serve prison terms and if they do, they easily escape because of the corruption of our jail officials. How about their fishermen who poach in our territorial waters for endangered species and when caught were just deported to China. The big bully on the block is flexing its muscles and we, small fries as we are, shiver in fear and shame. Shame on us as we are bullied by the big boys on the block. These are bullies Taiwan, Hongkong, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and others who always knock us down whenever they see us walking in the block. Even the biggest bully of them all, the US, treat us with contempt giving us outmoded war materials and hand me downs while they pour billions of dollars to their favorite proteges.

When will we learn to stand on our own two feet and defend our inalienable rights as equal citizens of this world. People of the Philippines unite before it is too late.

Vignettes From The Pearly Gates (Part 11)

Day 11

Do we please God or do we please men? Do we seek the approval of men more than the approval of God? If you are suffering even though you are doing the will of God, take heart,
"For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully
committed to Him." (2Chronicles 16:9)

Moving On- The Path To The Future




You want meaningful change? A change that can alter your life forever? Then choose a solid starting and ending point for your life. Start and end with something that you can really die for. Make Jesus Christ the Alpha and Omega of your life, then you have a solid starting point. Focus on Jesus Christ for it is He who was sent to save us from all the prison cells of our lives. He was sent not only to save us from eternal damnation but also to give us a victorious and abundant life.

Throw away all the bitterness from the past. Gather all the grudges, hurts, pains and bitterness in your lives and flush them down the toilet bowl and never let them bother you again. Forgive those who have hurt you before. You yourself have hurt others before. As far as you could, mend fences with those you have offended before and make restitution for your offenses. Unforgiving people always end up wallowing in their own prison cells of anger, guilt and depression. You would not want that for your life, do you?

As we begin to change and alter the circumstances in our lives, and as we turned from a mere spectator to a mover of life, we become channels of His divine blessings and grace for those who are still too weak to learn to walk by themselves. We become the eyes, ears and feet of those the Lord will give us to minister unto.

Moving on is the path to the future. Shall we commence our journey?
