A Worldwide Impact?

CRP is at it again. It is all over the world.

Its products, now from various multi-national companies all over the world,

is being manufactured in CRP, and disctributed all around the world.

 

And lately, the impact is also worldwide. Worldwide poisoning due to

hazardous chemicals being used in the products.

 

The result? Worldwide banning of the so-called ‘cheap-labor-and-big-profit’

products. This big country is at it… again.

 

I’m waiting for the next scene on the news…

An Inspirational

Life Is a Gift

 

Today before you think of saying an unkind word

Think of someone who can't speak.

 

Before you complain about the taste of your food

Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

 

Before you complain about your husband or wife

Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion.

 

Today before you complain about life

Think of someone who went too early to heaven.

 

Before you complain about your children

Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.

 

Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn't clean or sweep 

Think of the people who are living in the streets.

 

Before whining about the distance you drive

Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

 

And when you are tired and complain about your job

Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.

 

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another 

Remember that not one of us is without sin and we all answer to one maker.

 

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down

Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around.

Life is a gift. Live it, enjoy it, celebrate it, and fulfill it.

 

Conspiracy?

When the year started, there was also a “contest” instituted by the head of the

Children’s ministry in our church. When my daughter showed me the piece of paper

and explained what it was, and what they were supposed to do, and what will happen

at the end of the specified period, some thoughts immediately raced through my mind

right there and then.

 

What:    Collect the papers on a weekly basis; keep and secure them

Who:      Kids who attend the Sunday class

When:   Every Sunday, so long as there is class held; until the 6 months is over

 

Yesterday, the papers were counted. True enough, my expected result, or at least,

a prediction I made came true.

 

A certain child got a complete set of these papers. That is very good, isn’t it?

Well, it isn’t. You see, the child went back to her home country twice in the 6-month

period of collection. So you may be thinking, ‘How then did she collect at 25 papers?’

Beats me! Does the mother know? Does the father know? Not sure. What do I care?

Does the ministry head know? Are the kids’ group leaders aware? You bet!

 

This is just a very shameful occurrence. Even at a young age, the inclination to

do the just the opposite of what the church is teaching is being done, not only by adults,

but by children as well. Many that is why the constitution is very hard on the penalty

for ‘corruption of minor’. The wrong that old people do becomes right in the eyes of kids.

 

Well, I’ll keep my mouth shut. Even if I talk, I’ll only find enemies. And the harder part is,

I’ll become enemies to those who chocse to ally with the wrongdoer.

 

It is really hard to be standing on the rock of truth… easily visible, easily a target.
