Faith : Misconceptions of Christianity
I’ve intentionally prepared this blog for Easter Sunday! When everyone else thinks of Easter egg hunts and parties or just simply going to church and complete an obligation, I on the other hand – have been contemplating another “faith-based” post that I haven’t done for a while. A week ago I had a chance to deliver a talk (for the 2nd time with this topic) – CLS Talk #2 – What it means to be a Christian.

REPOST: Faith
When I first arrived here in Abu Dhabi, one of the things I have written in my diary was to achieve something about my spirituality. I went to a church here… and a part of me had this feeling of “dejavu” the place was sooooo familiar. Along the bible studies I have learned how to communicate with GOD, though I have been with him, since he is my best friend… but in every Friday 11AM session I have gained something…But somehow fate leads me to another group, still for Christians… They are the CFC-FFL… Couples For Christ, Foundations for Family and Life. Here I met mostly couples and few of…

TGIT – 8 Counted Blessings Vol 4
TGIT – 8 Counted Blessings Vol 4 It’s been a while since my last TGIT blogpost. The last one was way back 2018. Wow! That was close to 5 years! Don’t get me wrong, of course I’ve had more blessings than the usual things I share online. At times, it is best to keep it to oneself and make it more personal between me and God. By now, I realized its time to share another set of Counted Blessings. In time when everyone seemed to be uneasy because of the pandemic/post pandemic happenings and all other things happening way back home (in the Philippines), it is still important…
