go, lorenz, go!  hep-hep, hurrah!

If a person is angry with me, he or she may call me 'stupid' to mock me. Or any other person. But that is justified kai we are human. To 'err' is human. We are not perfect.

But ang Ginoo walay inkonsistesiya. God is perfection.

Man and Woman is born sinful and unworthy of God's Love. However, God's Unconditional Love for worthless and sinful man is the very thesis of "PERFECTION."

While we were yet sinners, He died for our sakes.

That comes from my heart!

..and every starving children in Africa  and around the World are covered by your stupid God!! Ignorant and hypocrite..

That "God" is not stupid, nor is he ignorant , nor is He hypocritical.

As we speak, that 'God' is living in the hearts of the billions of Christians in the world who give generously for charities that help the poor, especially in the most desolate of places, such as in Africa.

Have you ever heard of the CRS (Catholic Relief Services)? Which sends millions of dollars for the provision of food, clothing, medical aid, and supplies to refugees, orphans around the world? Especially in Africa?

What Is Catholic Relief Services?

A: Catholic Relief Services carries out the commitment of the Bishops of the United States to assist the poor and vulnerable overseas. We are motivated by the Gospel of Jesus Christ to cherish, preserve and uphold the sacredness and dignity of all human life, foster charity and justice, and embody Catholic social and moral teaching as we act to:

    * Promote human development by responding to major emergencies, fighting disease and poverty, and nurturing peaceful and just societies; and,
    * Serve Catholics in the United States as they live their faith in solidarity with their brothers and sisters around the world.

As part of the universal mission of the Catholic Church, we work with local, national and international Catholic institutions and structures, as well as other organizations, to assist people on the basis of need, not creed, race or nationality.

Ayaw ug ayaw jud mo pakontrol aning mga relihiyon. You are the most important commodity sa ilang panginabuhi. Panginabuhi ug ngal-ngal sa mensahe nga gikan ra sa ilang mga lubot ug walay kamatuoran.
Pangaligo mo oy, nanimaho uroy mo ug utot. Dili mo maulaw sa mga Pinoy nga nagkamoritsing na ang mga nawong unya inyoha pa jud nga tontohon, mga tonto jud mo..hehehe

Hi Shirley,

You know, you are entitled to your own beliefs and I respect your right in expressing your view. We all cannot agree to everything. To choose to believe or not believe is an individual right. Na sige, I said all I had to say.

Peace.

I confess to almighty God, to blessed Mary ever Virgin, to blessed Michael the archangel, to blessed John the Baptist, to the holy apostles Peter and Paul, to all the saints, and to you my brothers (and to thee, father) that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word, and deed, through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault. Therefore, I beseech blessed Mary ever Virgin, blessed Michael the archangel, blessed John the Baptist, the holy apostles Peter and Paul, and all the saints, to pray for me to the Lord our God. Amen.

Confiteor Deo omnipotenti, beatae Mariae semper Virgini, beato Michaeli Archangelo, beato Joanni Baptistae, sanctis Apostolis Petro et Paulo, omnibus Sanctis, et vobis, fratres (et tibi pater), quia peccavi nimis cogitatione, verbo et opere: mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Ideo precor beatam Mariam semper Virginem, beatum Michaelem Archangelum, beatum Joannem Baptistam, sanctos Apostolos Petrum et Paulum, omnes Sanctos, et vos, fratres (et te, pater), orare pro me ad Dominum Deum nostrum. Amen.

O my God, relying on Thy almighty power and infinite mercy and promises, I hope to obtain pardon for my sins, the help of Thy grace, and life everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer. Amen.

Domine Deus, spero per gratiam tuam remissionem omnium peccatorum, et post hanc vitam aeternam felicitatem me esse consecuturum: quia tu promisisti, qui es infinite potens, fidelis, benignus, et misericors. In hac spe vivere et mori statuo. Amen.

Domine Deus,
amo te super omnia proximum meum propter te,
quia tu es summum, infinitum,
et perfectissimum bonum, omni dilectione dignum.

In hac caritate vivere et mori statuo. Amen

Forget not to show love unto strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

  -Hebrews 13:2

It is good to help the poor and homeless. Sometimes, we do not know if they are angels in disguise...

In medicine , specifically in cardiology, we understand that the heart beats for a purpose. If we look at the processes that commands the heart to beat, it is because of two aspects:

1. Electrical impulses from the conduction pathway (from SA node to AV node, which sends electric impulse down to the Bundle of His, and down to the Purkinje Fibers, and to the ventricles)

2. Mechanical Action (after the electrical impulses are sent, mechanical action is manifested in the form of atrial and ventricular depolarization and repolarization)

Pariho ra pood ni sa concept of HOPE and ACTION. Hope is integral to the relationship of man and wife, and that HOPE is the basis of the ACTION for CHANGE in a relationship. Hope is the basis for reconciliation in marriage where husband and wife AGREE to work together and to COMPROMISE. Hope , in a figurative way, is similar to the conduction pathway of the heart. There must be hope for positive change to occur; the same as how there must be a conduction pathway in order for mechanical action to manifest.

God had HOPE for us, He had LOVE for us.
His ACTION: He came down from heaven, deigned to be born in a manger by a woman named Mary. And deigned to suffer death as a man so that he could satiate His Law of Sacrifice for our Sins.

Isles is correct in choosing that quote because there is no where we can go that God cannot follow. In fact, God, because of His Divine Power, is everywhere and with that knows everything. Even if we climb the top of the world to escape Him, still He will be there. If we submerse ourselves to the depths of the sea, still He is there. In fact, there is a verse in the Book of Psalms that expresses David's understanding of this omnipotence of Father God.




Psalm 139

O Lord, you have searched me and known me!
2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from afar.
3 You search out my path and my lying down
and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.
5 You hem me in, behind and before,
and lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high; I cannot attain it.

7 Where shall I go from your Spirit?
Or where shall I flee from your presence?
8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
9 If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 even there your hand shall lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
and the light about me be night,”
12 even the darkness is not dark to you;
the night is bright as the day,
for darkness is as light with you.

13 For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 If I would count them, they are more than the sand.
I awake, and I am still with you.

Na kalimot man pood ko aning thread.

Kini ay kuyaw kaajong bersikolo kai ang Ginoo man ning sulti ni Prophet David :

"Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."

"When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return, and repayment come to you. But when you give a reception, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, since they do not have the means to repay you; for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."

That was very beautifully worded, Magbalantay. Thank You.

Hehehe i'm glad that you have a rich fondness for flavor and taste!

OT: i have yet to taste louisiana-style gumbo. that is one thing i should remedy. hehe

I miss you, my dear, dear friend. It is hurtful sometimes that I cannot hear your voice or talk to you again.

Rob, this past Saturday I just celebrated my 26th birthday. I just realized that your birthday was on the 19th, last tuesday.

Happy Birthday, Rob. I miss you and I love you, bro.

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.

For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

hehehe, next time if you're in Chicago, I'll cook this for you.

But if you like, I can also cook kare kare for you instead. hahaha!

Today, we decided to cook Thai Food. Our version of Kang Karee, a very popular Thai curry dish.

'twas delicious! And vegetarian too!

Lunch at the Creperie. I ordered the Iberian Crepe.

Casually dressed for a sunny Chicago stroll.



Downtown Chicago

















Lunch!

When he saw me ingon siya, "Dr. Lorenzo! Dr. Lorenzo!"

Ingon ko dali, "Quit that status shiet up!" hahaha.

A night out with Georgi at the clubs in downtown Chicago reminded me of old times.

Our younger days. I am happy to see how much he has done these past 3-4 years. It is hard to imagine that the first time I met him , he was still that 18 year old foreign exchange student from Bulgaria. Now, he is a senior Financial Analyst for Goldman Sachs.

Some 6 years ago. College pa mi duha. hehe.

My old time college room mate and friend, Georgi, met up with me this month while on a visit to Chicago. The last time I saw him was back in 2007. So hapit na 3 years since we last saw each other.

He came to Chicago for an interview to the University of Chicago. He was recently accepted to University of Chicago's MBA Program. Congrats bro!!

Prayer is extraordinarily helpful for anyone who is suffering a broken heart.



God, you care deeply for broken-hearted people.  This is a promise you make: You are close.  We pray for all those who are crippled by broken relationships.  Our hearts take the blow of disappointment.  We feel crushed because our hopes are dashed.  God, heal broken hearts.  We cannot fix our own wounds.  But you can.  If pieces of our heart have been lost, or are held captive by another, recover them and bring them back to us and miraculously “put us back together” so that our heart is whole again.  You are a mender of broken hearts.  We ask for this miracle, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.

    â€" John 17:17

Hi Shirley,

It's good to hear that you and your husband were able to salvage the marriage and in turn, develop the momentum to develop an effective relationship.

It's very common for us here in the United States to hear about relationship turning sour, resulting in a separation and/or divorce. I must say that it's quite comforting to know that people are able to put aside differences and work on compromising.

Please accept my warm regards. Welcome to Tubag Bohol Dot Com!

Ensign Michael Austin, of USS Howard (DDG 83) watches Philippine navy ships BRP Rizal (PS 74) and BRP Pangasinan (PS 31) move into formation during a divisional tactics exercise in support of Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT) Philippines 2011. CARAT is a series of bilateral exercises held annually in Southeast Asia to strengthen relationships and enhance force readiness.

PUERTO PRINCESA, Republic of the Philippines (July 4, 2011) - The guided missile destroyer USS Howard (DDG 83) is trailed by a tug boat, as the ship leaves port for the underway phase of Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT) Philippines 2011. CARAT 2011 is a series of bilateral exercises held annually in Southeast Asia to strengthen relationships and enhance force readiness. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Katerine Noll)

The Spratlys are armed and defended by a contingent of the Philippine Marine Corp. Theirs is the duty to maintain tactical and strategic defense readiness of the Kalayaan Islands.

Another view:

The Kalayaan Islands. Note the airstrip, which gives the Philippines the ability to maintain air-control of the region in case of a wartime scenario.

Former President Ferdinand Marcos approved the construction of the air strip back in 1975, noting the strategic interests of the Spratlys.

This is quite alarming to hear of possible insurgency activity in Bohol. I hope that the military does its job in protecting Bohol and keeping out all 'would be' insurgents. God Bless BohoLandia.
