Love God above anyone else.


In the photo baove is my friend posing at the front
of The Monastery of the Holy Eucharist Church in
Simala, Sibonga is the most visited place for
people asking for enlightenment of the
Blessed Holy Mary.
 Our Father and Our God, unto thee, O Lord we lift our souls. 
If a man would follow, today, the teachings of the Old Testament, he would be a criminal. If he would follow strictly the teachings of the New, he would be insane. 
If I had been the Virgin Mary, I would have said "No."
 Margaret Smith
A just laicism allows religious freedom. The state does not impose religion but rather gives space to religions with a responsibility toward civil society, and therefore it allows these religions to be factors in building up society. 
If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god. 
If the grandfather of the grandfather of Jesus had known what was hidden within him, he would have stood humble and awe-struck before his soul. 
It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil. If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their fellow men, the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui. 
Jim Bakker spells his name with two k's because three would be too obvious. 
Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life. 
People from different parts of the Philippines who
 have heard about this miraculous place
would want to go to Simala and offer their petition.
If Jesus had been killed twenty years ago, Catholic school children would be wearing little electric chairs around their necks instead of crosses. 

It is now quite lawful for a Catholic woman to avoid pregnancy by a resort to mathematics, though she is still forbidden to resort to physics or chemistry. 

Just as the soul fills the body, so God fills the world. Just as the soul bears the body, so God endures the world. Just as the soul sees but is not seen, so God sees but is not seen. Just as the soul feeds the body, so God gives food to the world. 
Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too? 
Just in terms of allocation of time resources, religion is not very efficient. There's a lot more I could be doing on a Sunday morning. 
Krishna children were taught that in the spiritual world there were no parents, only souls and hence this justified their being kept out of view from others, cloistered in separate buildings and sheltered from the evil material world. 
 Morality is of the highest importance - but for us, not for God. 
In this photo, the church is  showing better improvements.
The structural details are very amazing. 
More and more people care about religious tolerance as fewer and fewer care about religion. 
No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says: He is always convinced that it says what he means. 
Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair. 
Muslims must believe that all power, success and victory comes from God alone.

All my life I just want to have a happy family.

One single afternoon when this family agreed to have an
ice cream party together, they're very happy eating and
making some pictures with just  the single
ice cream they had. Indeed,  happiness in the family
doesn't come in expensive buffets, big houses or
expensive tours.  It comes from every single moments
shared by every family members together. 

 A happy family is but an earlier heaven. 
A man should never neglect his family for business. 
Dignity is not negotiable. Dignity is the honor of the family. 
A family can develop only with a loving woman as its center. 
 A woman can take care of the family. It takes a man to provide structure, to provide stability. 
A woman should be home with the children, building that home and making sure there's a secure family atmosphere. 
A woman can plan when to have her family and how to support a family. 
Also, my mom and family are very important to me and I know that this is not expected. 


A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living.

Praying is everything...

Taken at Kushinagar -India by my aunt who's very in-love
with every place she travels and every people she
meets.
In this picture, these are the young buddhist monks
with their teacher and high priest monk ready to
pray inside the buddhist temple.

Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither. 
God made everything out of nothing, but the nothingness shows through. 
It's wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky. Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears. 

Creationists make it sound as though a 'theory' is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night. 
Doubt is part of all religion. All the religious thinkers were doubters. 
Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads. 

He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife.

Peace in all corners of the earth.,.

Peace for any contradicting beliefs, that's what our world
needs today.  For me, personally, if somebody's idea and
opinion is not the same with us, let them be.
Respect theirs for yours to be respected too.
Let's all mind our own business.
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. 
A people free to choose will always choose peace. 
A peace is of the nature of a conquest; for then both parties nobly are subdued, and neither party loser. 
He that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows or all he sees. 
For behind all imperialism is ultimately the imperialistic individual, just as behind all peace is ultimately the peaceful individual.

Arrogance is the absence of change.

I hope to see a cloud like that.
Change brings opportunity. 
Nido Qubein
Change in all things is sweet. 
Christians are supposed not merely to endure change, nor even to profit by it, but to cause it. 
Change is inevitable - except from a vending machine. 
Change is such hard work. 


Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself. 
He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils; for time is the greatest innovator. 
A pup who became a
koala. Nice.
Francis Bacon
It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad. 
It's the most unhappy people who most fear change. 
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. 

Just because everything is different doesn't mean anything has changed. 
 Change means that what was before wasn't perfect. People want things to be better. 

Change is the only constant. Hanging on is the only sin. 
Not only is women's work never done, the definition keeps changing. 
Lord, where we are wrong, make us willing to change; where we are right, make us easy to live with. 
Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change. 
Relentless, repetitive self talk is what changes our self-image. 
Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have. 

We live in a moment of history where change is so speeded up that we begin to see the present only when it is already disappearing. 
When you are through changing, you are through. 
What we call progress is the exchange of one nuisance for another nuisance. 
When you jump for joy, beware that no one moves the ground from beneath your feet. 
Without accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find perfect composure. But unfortunately, although it is true, it is difficult for us to accept it. Because we cannot accept the truth of transience, we suffer. 
Just when I think I have learned the way to live, life changes. 
We emphasize that we believe in change because we were born of it, we have lived by it, we prospered and grew great by it. So the status quo has never been our god, and we ask no one else to bow down before it. 
Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes. 
Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken. 
You could always go on changing things but there comes a time when you have to decide to stop. 
You must welcome change as the rule but not as your ruler.

Change is constant...

opponent, please??? jejeje!
He who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery. 
All change is not growth, as all movement is not forward. 


All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another. 
In a progressive country change is constant; change is inevitable. 
I don't know if you can change things, but it's a drop in the ocean. 
Action and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error, change - this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-confidence, fear; out of our fear, clearer vision, fresh hope. And out of hope, progress. 
If there is anything that we wish to change in the child, we should first examine it and see whether it is not something that could better be changed in ourselves. 
 If there is no struggle, there is no progress. 
If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living. 
If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. 
Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are. 
Mama, can I swap places with him?.,
Bertolt Brecht 
The world is changing very fast. Big will not beat small anymore. It will be the fast beating the slow. 
If you can change three lives in 10, three lives in a hundred, that's got to be good, hasn't it? 
If you're in a bad situation, don't worry it'll change. If you're in a good situation, don't worry it'll change. 
 If you want to change the culture, you will have to start by changing the organization. 
Sometimes its the smallest decisions that can change your life forever. 
The mind has exactly the same power as the hands; not merely to grasp the world, but to change it. 
The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance. 
The world hates change, yet it is the only thing that has brought progress. 
There is a danger of changing too much in the search for perfection. 
They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom. 
A suck culture change.
Confucius
Things alter for the worse spontaneously, if they be not altered for the better designedly. 
Things do not change; we change. 
 A lot of people get impatient with the pace of change. 
Anyone who thinks there's safety in numbers hasn't looked at the stock market pages. 
We all have big changes in our lives that are more or less a second chance. 
Always remember that the future comes one day at a time. 
 Change alone is eternal, perpetual, immortal. 
Change before you have to. 
Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts.
