I lived with my parents at the logging camp,Manapasok. It was a great time in my life and we made many trips to Fabrica. I have been trying to find someone with photo's from that era. I am also trying to locate an old friend. His name is Antonio Hablo. When I visited from Viet-Nam in 1967 he was living in Bacolod driving a taxi. I would appreciate any help. God Bless Ben Grady,Jr. Rophe,

And it doesn't mean that YOU SHOULD NOT either. My friend asked my me why a pastor in a pentecostal church wails like he is too holy to do that. In my mind, why he shouldn't? Why David who comitted adultery and murder can't cry to God in desperation and frustration? Recognizing the rules and the ideals doesn't requires perfection. Rather, it should guide you towards it. It's one thing that keeps people from coming to God. They feel that they aren't worthy. They feel that they're too sinful. But isn't it is for them that Christ came? The other set of people are those who feel that they're holy and is worthy enough. Christ said, "I did not came to call the righteous but for sinners to repentance." What matters before God is the condition of the heart. “A missionary once said that you cannot just stand up to a bunch of starving people and say GOD LOVES YOU with enthusiasm and be understood & accepted.”

There are certain things that needs to be address first which often cost time, money and yes patience. It's easy to lay the ground rules, the ideals and say it as it in a big picture, but when things goes out of hand You simply cannot just stand and shout "World Peace!" and expect people to embrace you with tears in their eyes, sad to say reality doesn't work that way. just my 2 cents worth..
