HEREDADO PECADO El castigo del pecado no siempre descansa en el que cometió el pecado. Los frutos amargos del pecado son a menudo transmitidos, y entregados a aquellos que no tenían la mano presente en ellos cuando fueron cometidos. Toda la familia puede heredar los pecados de sus ...read more
NAMANA NG KASALANAN Ang kaparusahan ng kasalanan ay hindi laging kapahingahan sa kanya na nakagawa ng kasalanan. Ang mapait na bunga ng kasalanan ay kadalasang ipinapasa, at ipinasa-pasa sa mga taong walang kamay sa kanila nang magawa ang mga ito. Maaaring manahin ng buong pamilya ang mga ...read more
To say the least, and I usually do, this summer has been quite a journey for the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and myself. I can't remember a summer equal to the one we just went through. The fact that we got through it is amazing. We have been staying at home more often than usual, but ...read more

I must admit I don't get away with very much, and I never have. It's not that I never try. It's just that whenever I try to get away with something, it always backfires. I wish there were a class somewhere entitled, "How You Can Get Away with Anything." I certainly would sign ...read more

I usually don't complain a lot. When I do I get caught in some dilemma that I can’t talk my way out. You think I would learn my lesson, but I'm still in the learning curve. It was a long week, and the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and I had a busy schedule. She went her way, I went my ...read more

Last week the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage came up with a brilliant idea. At least, at the time, it seemed brilliant. “Why don’t we,” she began, “take Monday off and just chill?” Since it's been a long time since I did any chillin, I had to ask her, "What do we chill ...read more

REPROVE AN ERRING BROTHER, DO NOT REPROACH HIM Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you, reprove a wise man and he will love you.

REPRENDER A UN HERMANO DESCARRIADO, NO LE REPROCHES No reprendas a los burlones,o acabarán por odiarte; mejor reprende a los sabios, y acabarán por amarte. Educa al sabio, y aumentará su sabiduría; enséñale algo al justo,y aumentará su saber.." (Proverbios ...read more
REPROVE AN ERRING BROTHER, DO NOT REPROACH HIM Huwag mong pagsabihan ang isang scoffer, o kapopootan niya kayo, pagsabihan ang isang matalinong tao at mahal niya kayo. Magbigay ng tagubilin sa isang matalinong tao at magiging mas matalino pa rin siya, turuan ang isang mabuting tao at pag-iibayuhin ...read more
DON'T MAGNIFY YOURSELF AGAINST THOSE THAT ARE FALLEN "If indeed you will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach" (Job 19:5) 1. Many people forget their own frailty, how easy is it for them to fall. We should be taught by the mistakes of others to avoid being ...read more

NO TE MAGNIFICARSE A SÍ MISMO CONTRA LOS DEMÁS "Si en verdad os engrandecéis contra mí, y alegáis contra mí mi oprobio" (Job 19:5) 1. Mucha gente olvida su propia debilidad, lo fácil que es para ellos caer. Deberíamos ser enseñados por los ...read more
HUWAG MONG dakilain SA IYONG SARILI LABAN SA MGA NA NAHULOG "Kung tunay na palalakihin ninyo ang inyong sarili laban sa akin, at magsusumamo laban sa akin na aking kapighatian" (Job 19:5) 1. Maraming tao ang nakalimot sa sarili nilang kahinaan, gaano kadali para sa kanila na mahulog. ...read more

I thought I had everything organized and in order. It just shows how useless my thinking is these days. There are many piles in my office and on my desk, and I know what is in each pile. Everything is organized to my specifications. My rule is: if I can't find something, I don't need it. ...read more

For several weeks, or has it been years, I’ve been waiting for an important package to come through the mail. I don’t know why they call it snail mail because I have seen snails crawl faster. With all our technology today, you would think that mail could come in on a particular schedule, and ...read more

This past week was one of the best weeks I've had in a long time. I got everything completed, as well as some overdue projects.

ANG BIYAYA NG DIYOS "Datapuwa't sa pamamagitan ng biyaya ng Dios ako ang aking pagkatao: at ang kaniyang biyaya na [ipinagkaloob] sa akin ay walang kabuluhan; subalit mas masagana akong gumawa kaysa sa kanilang lahat: gayon ma'y hindi ako, kundi ang biyaya ng Dios na kasama ko." ...read more
I have learned in my life, and probably just one thing: things have a way of catching up with me. I can't get away with anything. It's not that I don't try. There were a few times when I've come pretty close to getting away with something, but it didn't turn out the way I ...read more

I have had a certain dream many times over the years. Of course, it might lean towards being a nightmare if it does not come true. The dream is that one day in the week; I can have everything go my way. The nightmare part of that dream is that it never tells me which day everything will go my ...read more
