Judging is GOD’S Business
When we see a person having tantrums or going nuts, it’s easy to jump to
conclusions and say that the person has a bad attitude. But we don’t really
know what that person went through to make him or her act that way. For
all we know, he or she just had a horrible and painful experience.

Psalm 51 From the prayer desk of Rev. Deacon Gary
God doesn't want sacrifices; he wants our loving loyalty. He does not want
offerings; he wants us to acknowledge him.
Religious ritual like meditation prayers, if done to expand our understand of
God's mercy, compassion and forgiveness, it will surely nourished our
relationship with him. In other words if religious rituals such as meditation
prayers are carried out with an attitude of love for, and in obedience to
God way, we will feel the power of the Holy Spirit coming upon us. This is
divine inspiration. I am experiencing this many times.

‘The Filipino is Worth Getting Rich For’

SACRAMENTO, CALIF., Jan. 31 (PinoyGlobal) -Recently, Sen. Joker Arroyo
compared the situation faced by his friend Sen. Manuel “Titanic Manny” Villar
to what the martyred Sen. Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. faced during the
martial law era. No kidding! Let’s see. Ninoy said, “The Filipino is worth
dying for,” and he did. Titanic Manny can say, “The Filipino is worth getting
rich for.” He is now filthy rich… and getting richer every minute of the day.
Indeed, there is a comparison.

Was Panlilio’s Ouster a Hatchet Job?
02/17/2010 4:14 AM PST
SACRAMENTO, CALIF., Feb. 17 (PinoyGlobal) -The ouster of Gov. Fr. Ed
Panlilio from the governorship of Pampanga once again reinforces the belief
that the Commission on Elections (Comelec) is being used to “terminate”
the political lives of the enemies of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
Panlilio was the third governor who got axed for not playing ball with Gloria.

WASHINGTON,D.C., Feb. 17 (PinoyGlobal) -   Supporters of President Arroyo
are optimistic of her becoming Speaker of the House of Representatives
after the elections. Some solons of the ruling party are like mockingbirds
singing that GMA will be the next Speaker. According to them 100 Lakas-
Kampi-CMD incumbents seeking re-election are sure winners, not to
mention cabinet members running for Congress in their districts who will
also emerge victorious in the next polls. By implication they mean that this
cabal of solons will form the solid phalanx of GMA’s speakership bid.
