“The normal state of mission is crisis.” Bang! That goes deep. Deep into me. Those were the powerful words that struck me during our recollection last Monday. I’ve read the outline before the talk, I’ve even made the slide presentations, but hearing it over and over again made a big difference. More when you get [...]
The feast of the Epiphany is one of the most special days in our family. The coming of the “three kings” also meant a coming of something very important in our lives. We celebrate this day not only as the end of the Christmas season but as a day of blessing, a day of grace [...]
What is your idea of God? Reflecting through Christmas, God has been my savior, my miracle, my healer. He has been a friend throughout this year. Too many miracles has been granted to me. Too many answered prayers. Literally answered prayers. Those simple prayers that could actually brighten your day like.. ”Lord, let me have [...]
I woke up this morning thinking I don’t have enough. I don’t have enough skills, I don’t have enough money, I don’t have enough happiness to share today. I just felt a little “lonely.” Ahh yes, missionary life has and will never be full of “highs.” There were a lot of times, too, when we [...]

I write this entry looking at this… We’re currently in Thailand. Preparing for the 2nd Global Leaders Summit of CFC Singles for Christ. In a few hours, these chairs will be filled with passionate servant-leaders who have given their “yes” to serve God in a way that is more far greater than the path we’re [...]
I woke up this morning reading Fr. Pedro Arrupe, SJ’s prayer.. Nothing is more practical than finding God, than falling in Love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what [...]
