The Duck and the Devil

There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm. He was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods. He practiced in the woods, but he could never hit the target. Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for dinner. As he was walking back he saw Grandma’s pet duck. Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly, hit the duck square in the head and killed it. He was shocked and grieved! In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile; only to see his sister watching! Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing. After lunch the next day Grandma said, “Sally, let’s wash the dishes.” But Sally said, “Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.” Then she whispered to him, “Remember the duck?” So Johnny did the dishes. Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing and Grandma said, “I’m sorry but I need Sally to help make supper.” Sally just smiled and said, “Well that’s all right because Johnny told me he wanted to help.” She whispered again, “Remember the duck?” So Sally went fishing and Johnny stayed to help. After several days of Johnny doing both his chores and Sally’s; he finally couldn’t stand it any longer. He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck. Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said, “Sweetheart, I know. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing, but because I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long you would let Sally make a slave of you.” Thought for the day and every day thereafter? Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done…and the devil keeps throwing it up in your face (lying, cheating, debt, fear, bad habits, hatred, anger, bitterness, etc.)…whatever it is…You need to know that God was standing at the window and He saw the whole thing. He has seen your whole life. He wants you to know that He loves you and that you are forgiven. He’s just wondering how long you will let the devil make a slave of you. The great thing about God is that when you ask for forgiveness; He not only forgives you, but He forgets. It is by God’s grace and mercy that we are saved. Go ahead and make the difference in someone’s life today. Share this with a friend and always remember: God is at the window! When Jesus died on the cross; he was thinking of you! God is good all the time! All the time, God is GOOD!

Goodbye 2007, Welcome 2008!

Year 2008, ikalawang taon ko na nag-celebrate ng New Year dito sa Tanzania. May halong lungkot kasi malayo ako sa aking pamilya at saya naman dahil kasama ko si Rocky at mga bagong kaibigan.

Sinalubong ko ang taong 2008 kasama ang mga tropa dito sa Dar es Salaam. Kainan, inuman at kantahan subalit iba pa rin ang Pilipinas. Na-miss ko ang mga paputok sa kalye Marulas, ang pagsindi ng trayangulo at whistle bomb. Ang mga makukulay na lusis, sunud-sunod na ingay ng sinturon ni hudas at syempre ang kwentuhan, inuman at magdamagang videoke naming magbabarkada.

Lumipas na ang taong 2007 at heto na ang 2008, panibagong pakikipagsapalaran na naman. Tatlong buwan na lang at ako ay babalik na sa ating bayan. Nagdadalawang isip kung babalik pa ba dito sa Tanzania or subukan naman ang ibang bansa. Pero bahala na si Batman kailangan ko muna magbakasyon at tama na muna ang web development at graphic designing sa aking pag-uwi.

Happy New Year sa inyong lahat at Summer 2008, malapit na!

Alibata – Ancient Philippine Writing System

alibata

Baybayin or Alibata (known in Unicode as the Tagalog script) is a pre-Hispanic Philippine writing system that originated from the Javanese script Old Kawi. The writing system is a member of the Brahmic family (and an offshoot of the Vatteluttu alphabet) and is believed to be in use as early as the 14th century. It continued to be in use during the Spanish colonization of the Philippines up until the late 19th Century. The term baybayin literally means spelling. Closely related scripts are Hanunoo, Buhid, and Tagbanwa.

Glass of Milk

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.

Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water! . She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it so slowly, and then asked, How much do I owe you?”

You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness.”

He said .. “Then I thank you from my heart.”

As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.
