My 11-year-old's Devotional Book

Last December 18, 2010, while I was passing by Robinsons Cybergate, Cebu from my monthly visit in Chong Hua Hospital, I spotted a last day book sale in the middle of the mall and when I see books, my enthusiasm bursts out since I love books.


I was able to grab Ms. Grace Chong's Super Devos for my 11-year-old daughter Maia


and Grace Found Me, another daily devotional book for my mom who just arrived from overseas.


 I was so glad that I have given these books to my loved ones and I was enthused by Maia's approach on her very first daily devotional because she was reading it like a pocket book instead of waiting another day to read the pages.


She loved the stories in it and am happy that she is reading stories that I know will mold her into a God-loving child, and erase my fear of her being a spoiled brat since our attention is all on her.


I have also asked Ms. Grace Chong to sign the books since she was around in the afternoon and took a picture of her.

MANTANGALE ALIBUAG DIVE RESORT

MAY 15, 2006 - After sending off my mom to the airport for KSA, this is the place where we went after Robin's burial. The place was like paradise but it doesn't take away the pain. It was like being in a dream, hoping somebody would be waking us up. Maia enjoyed swimming and Mama Gloria came with us because she was also Robin's favorite lola and Dennis' "emotion buffer" – he feels better with his mom around. Notice the hands of Dennis – as if he is carrying Robin in his arms.

THE SCIENTIFIC DEATH OF JESUS

"For the next 60 seconds, set aside what ever you're doing and take this opportunity! Let's see if satan can stop this. THE (SCIENTIFIC) DEATH OF JESUS At the age of 33, Jesus was condemned to the death penalty. At the time crucifixion was the "worst" death. Only the worst criminals condemned to be crucified. Yet it was even more dreadful for Jesus, unlike other criminals condemned to death by crucifixtion Jesus was to be nailed to the cross by His hands and feet. Each nail was 6 to 8 inches long. The nails were driven into His wrist. Not into His palms as is commonly portrayed. There's a tendon in the wrist that extends to the shoulder. The Roman guards knew that when the nails were being hammered into the wrist that tendon would tare and brake, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support himself so that He could breath. Both of His feet were nailed together. Thus He was forced to support Himself on the single nail that impaled His feet to the cross....

JOHN 3:16

John 3:16- I don't understand it.  A little boy was selling newspapers on the corner, the people were in and out of the cold. The little boy was so cold that he wasn't trying to sell many papers. He walked up to a policeman and said, "Mister, you wouldn't happen to know where a poor boy could find a warm place to sleep tonight would you? You see, I sleep in a box up around the corner there and down the alley and its awful cold in there for tonight. ?Sure would be nice to have a warm place to stay." The policeman looked down at the little boy and said, "You go down the street to that big white house and you knock on the door. When they come out the door you just say John 3:16 and they will let you in."  So he did. He walked up the steps and knocked on the door, and a lady answered. He looked up and said, "John 3:16." The lady said, "Come on in, Son." She took him in and she sat him down in a split bottom rocker in front of a...
