And my heart goes for the have nots, the poor the needy the sick. The orphans the jobless the grieving. The list goes on… And Christmas Day can make life more contrasted for them. Heartbreaking. Just look around. On the side walk are the homeless running like rats when the rain wakes them in their sleep. They are almost in every corner. From a distance you can see at your favorite fast food outlet somehow somewhere there is a poor soul hungry and looking with ever yearning eyes to bite that burger which to others is so common. “To be…

All of us desire the good things in life. A fine house not necessarily a mansion, a decent car running on four wheels, food on the table, funds to send the kids through college and a little more to spare and share with the less fortunate.

Like a soothing balm to an aching wound they are sweet waters to…

I just crossed the Line! Not any cease fire line but the point in time where a person becomes a “dual citizen”. I have crossed the international dateline and the equator many times but 60 years on the planet in a country called the Philippines can be fun.

Moses is ascribed to have written Psalms 90, verse 12 says “Teach us to number our days so that…
