Please, pray for Abby.

I wanted you to know about Abby.

She was adopted from Guatemala. At three years old, she was diagnosed with a high-risk, aggressive form of Leukemia. Certain genetic complications have put her chance of surviving the treatment at about 20%.

I am praying for her and her family. Would you pray for them too?

You can find more about Abby here, on her family blog: http://www.riggsfamilyblog.com/2009/01/about-abby.html

Beauty of Friendship

Beauty of Our Friendship

Friendship is a Priceless Gift
that cannot be bought or sold,
But its value is far greater
than a mountain made of Gold.
For gold is cold and lifeless,
it can neither see nor hear
And in the time of trouble
it is powerless to cheer--
it has no ears to listen
Nor heart to understand,
It cannot bring you comfort
or reach out a helping hand.

So when you ask
God for a gift
be thankful if HE sends
not diamonds, pearls or riches
But The Love of Real True Friends.

Perfect Christmas Gift

Life Is So Good

The healing presence of God

Photo by Phönix 64 .... thoughts...

I know with every fiber of my being that the healing presence of God is flowing throughout my entire being, soothing my emotions and healing my body.
I am whole and well, for I am one with the healing presence of God.

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets; So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it...if it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it'd be easy, they just promised that it would be worth it.

I AM MY BROTHER's KEEPER

"I Am My Borther's Keeper" - it is Mel Avila's great idea and I'd like to participate.

Thank you Mel ! I Am My Brother's Keeper!



Cain committed the world's first murder by killing his brother Abel. When God confronted Cain about his brother's whereabout, he gave this classic remark, "Why, am I my brothers's keeper?" Throughout all the ages, man carried this same cavalier attitude towards his fellowmen. He always turned a blind eye on the sufferings of others and we could almost surmise that in his mind, he always carry the same answer that Cain gave to God- "Why, am I my brother's keeper?"

Now, is the time to reverse this decadent attitude of man towards his fellowmen.
Instead, let us show our concern and care for the least of our brethren by declaring these words:

Yes, I am my brother's keeper.
His pain is my pain.
His joy is my joy.
His sorrow is my sorrow.
His happiness is my happiness.
His hunger is my hunger.
His deprivation is my deprivation.
His ignorance is my ignorance.
His poverty is my poverty.
His sickness is my sickness.
His struggles are my struggles.
His loneliness is my loneliness.
His isolation is my isolation.
His imprisonment is my imprisonment.
His tortures are my tortures.
His agonies are my agonies.
His search for truth is my search for truth.
His cry for freedom is my cry for freedom.
His quest for salvation is my quest for salvation.

I cannot just sit here and mind my own business oblivious to what's happening to my brother. I cannot keep a blind eye to his cry for deliverance. I will make a commitment right here and now that henceforth, I will be my brother's keeper and I will do everything in my power to help him in every way I can. So help me God.
Signed this day and attested by me.

Be the one that the world is looking for...

Original Faith - Whether you're an atheist or a believer, this book may change your life.

"Be the one that the world is looking for" - Mahatma Gandhi.


Last week I received Paul's book "Original Faith" from Amazon.com.
/ I like Amazon/.
I waited for this book for a long time and I was sure that it will be a great book for me. But I can tell you that this book is much more than I expected.

"The first step in learning any language is listening. Than comes speaking" - Paul Martin

From first words I knew that this book was for me. I love your book Paul! I am truly thankful! Your book becomes my second Bible, my Daily Bread for my soul.

Paul is a wonderful man, with great wisdom that he shares in such a gentle way in his "Original Faith". I have learned from his book more and I still have much that he can show me.
What Paul said about love:
"In love, our perception of the worth-in-being of others is so emphatic and assured that when we become conscious enough of it, we find ourself demanded to conform to love's perceptions more powerfully than we are demanded to conform even to far most blatant realities and truths. We will dedicate ourself to our families and friends even in times of great trouble. We will risk death or torture for the lives of others"...

Paul, you are truly an inspiration to many of us. Keep shining your brilliant job!
May your days keep getting better and your health stay strong!

Embracing the Mystery

"There is something else, some other way of Knowing, some deeper part of our Being, that knows we are not in Grief, that we knows we are in Eternity; that sings out of that - that's the Mystery that cannot be said..."

everything is in order and justice,
nothing is random
nothing is wrong "...

Yes 20% of the amount that I get from this book will be given to an Orphanage “International Child Welfare Service” in Chennai, India. They have many programs and one of them is called as “Dawn and Dusk Home, A Home for the HIV+ children”, - those kids who were born with it not because of their fault.

Great job Dawn!
