The Dead Man Talked

5:05 PM 3 Comments
The book 90 Minutes in Heaven is a true story about Don Piper who died for 90 minutes, went to heaven and returned to Earth. At first I thought the book is more about the description of heaven, but it isn't and that made the book even better to read.
Although I personally would like to know what heaven is like but I just feel that nobody can perfectly describe it and Don Piper felt the same too.

90 Minutes in Heaven is a story of a Pastor who ministers but couldn't practice some of his teachings. It is a story of proofs on how prayer and faith can cure us, can heal us and help us. The book tells us to trust God and reflect for the lesson that He wanted to teach us during the times that we are down.

Don Piper himself questioned God at the beginning of his sufferings. He asked Him why would He let him experience the joy and peace in heaven and then bring him back to Earth with the worst kind of pain that is beyond the pain scale of 10. He kept on begging for God to take Him back and refused to accept his mission on Earth. But God is just great that He didn't gave up sending him people as an intrument for him to know what God is teaching him and telling him to do.

A review from Barnes and Noble was written that says the book is not what it is all about and that you can read the 90 minutes experience of Don Piper in just 15 minutes.

That's true, you can read the experience for 15 minutes and I understand why the story about his experience is just that short. Heaven should not be described by details, it is something we should try to reach and experience personally. The book is not just about the heaven. It is about how the 90 minutes experience changed the life of the people- believer and non-believer (who became a believer eventually).

I personally recommend this book because it is very inspiring. It makes us realize that no matter how good a person is, that person will never be perfect. It is a book that tells us that the way of God is hard to accept but is easier if we only trust Him. It will make us realize that no matter who and where we are, God has a purpose for that.

Read the book. It is a must read!

"All praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the source of every mercy and the God who comforts us. He comforts use in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When others are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.'

Let Them Know, Be Proud!

5:55 PM 1 Comments
It is never unusual whenever you ride the train and some people perform gimmicks inside just to ask for money. There are days that I had witness people who sings with our without an instrument, a group of dancers perform their stunts inside the car, differently able people who asks for your sympathy by giving them money and some were asking money because they said they are missionaries who devoted their lives to Christ and they need our support.

I know I don’t have the right to judge them because I don’t know their lives. But hey! Before you react, I would just like to let you know that this post is not about them. This is about the two Koreans I saw in the train this afternoon.

And to let you see what I saw, I took a picture of them secretly. I hope nobody noticed me because I don’t want people to think that I was making fun of them.

Here’s the pictures...and although I took a lot but this is just the best that I can do with a moving train, a camera phone and I was like maybe 10 meters away from them.



















Can you read it? It says BELIEVE IN THE LORD JESUS.

These two koreans ride the train and then transferred to another train (of course I was there too) with this sign board. They didn't ask for anything or said anything.

This brave action is just so touching, inspiring and cute. Yes, cute! lol
Idk what did the other passengers think about them or if they noticed these two, but for me it gave me comfort especially this times that there is an increase number of atheist in the world.

Yes! I'm affected about that and I don't need to explain it. All you need to know is that I'm a christian.

Be proud to let other people know that you BELIEVE IN THE LORD JESUS!

An Atheist Started to Believe

4:41 PM 1 Comments
I am not an atheist and I definitely adore and worship God with all of me. I made this whatever-it-is-called as I started to reflect why there is an increase number of atheist in the world. I tried to put my self in the shoes of an atheist and I tried not to be bias. But I guess God is just too good for me not to acknowledge His presence.


When I woke up this morning,
I wondered who I am;
Will I be the same man who will
live his life the way he wants?
What if I'll say I'm tired now
And I want to end my journey
Will it end because I wanted it to be?
But end my journey going where?

OMG I guess I am lost now.
Oh my! I just said God.
Does He really exist?
I mean, no he doesn't!
But what made other people believes
he does?

They said He made the world in 6 days
Like, how could that possibly be?
No man could be that powerful based in Science
and there's no evidence for that.

Oh wait, yes!
They said he's not a man.

But c'mon people,
Science has the evidence of evolution.
Man evloved from monkeys.
But wait, if evolution is true;
Then where did the first thing comes from?

Somebody must have made it.
But who did?
Man is the most talented and clever.
But they just evolved from monkeys.

Oh wait!
Maybe some powerful creature made it.
Is that creature named God?
Is my life's journey leading to Him?

You, the so called God..
You won't let me end my life, will you?
Well fine!
I guess it won't hurt to let you talk
And let my heart listen.

Maybe you are true
Because the world is still revolving
despite of all the crimes, hatreds and calamities.
OMG you are really true!
I guess I am starting to cry now.
I am crying now.
I think you are really true.
I think I've missed you God!


Nursing: The Healing Ministry of Jesus

11:24 AM 1 Comments
Taking up Bachelor of Science in Nursing in the Philippines became a fad nowadays. It gives the Filipinos the hope of being able to work abroad and earn more than what their own country can give them. Because of this, most of the people considers taking this course solely just because of the greener pasture it gives.

As for me, deciding to take up this course is actually my own choice, my passion to serve other people and as my vocation-a way of serving God. I know a lot of people who thinks nursing is not just because of the money and some of which are my friends.

Being able to work in the hospital opened my eyes to the wonders of God. Like how creative and perfectly God made each of our organs to make our body function well and how only the hands of God can heal the sick.

I also felt blessed to have the opportunity to help in taking care of other people and be the one who gives care. Everyday, as I learn and experience more about this course, my faith is also strengthened. There is no procedure or step I make that I don’t ask for God’s help because I know I am dealing with lives. The hospital will also help you realize that not even the strongest drug or the best doctors can cure a patient. It is only God and your faith that could actually heal the sick.

Nursing is actually a mixed career- you give care, do health teaching, pray for your patient, be resourceful and improvise the things that you have in order to do a procedure successfully. It is a noble job that follows the healing ministry of Jesus.

This is the best reason that I can give why I am proud to be a student nurse and why NURSES ROCK!

The Duck and The Devil

1:55 PM 0 Comments
There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm. He was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods. He practiced in the woods; but he could never hit the target. Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for dinner. As he was walking back he saw Grandma's pet duck. Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly, hit the duck square in the head and killed it. He was shocked and grieved! In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile; only to see his sister watching!

Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing After lunch the next day Grandma said, "Sally, let's wash the dishes" But Sally said, "Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen." Then she whispered to him, "Remember the duck?" So Johnny did the dishes.
Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing and Grandma said, "I'm sorr! y but I need Sally to help make supper." Sally just smiled and said, "Well that's all right because Johnny told me he wanted to help" She whispered again, "Remember the duck?" So Sally went fishing and Johnny stayed to help.

After several days of Johnny doing both his chores and Sally's; he finally couldn't stand it any longer. He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck. Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said, "Sweetheart, I know. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing, but because I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long you would let Sally make a slave of you."

Thought for the day and every day thereafter? Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done... and the devil keeps throwing it up in your face (lying, cheating, debt, fear, bad habits, hatred, anger, bitterness, etc.)...whatever it is...You need to know that God was standing at the window and He saw the whole thing. He has seen your whole life.
He wants you to know that He loves you and that you are forgiven. He's just wondering how long you will let the devil make a slave of you. The great thing about God is that when you ask for forgiveness; He not only forgives you, but He forgets. It is by God's grace and mercy that we are saved.

When Jesus died on the cross; he was thinking of you!

Christ Apparition Pictures

from the sender:

"I was just checking out your site at angelsghosts.com and figured I'd scan you a photo that we've had

since at least the early 1980's but by the looks of the type of photo paper it was developed on, I'd

guess it was taken in the early 70's. It was given to us by my aunt who had received it from a friend,

so I'm not sure of it's story. I remember hearing that it had been taken from an airplane window...so

here it is. You can post it on your site if you like."



from the sender:

"I have a very old copy of this picture that was found in my grandfather's family bible when he died. Written on

the back of the print was '1916 Arthur Hutchens - 4 Wells Kansas.' I've gone to the Kansas Historical Society

website and can find no 4/Four Wells Kansas or Tornado of 1916."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This pictures might not be true but it certainly inspired me.

"God may show up at our sickbed or in the midst of a life-threatening accdident. He may speak to us in a dream or right before a critical decision. Sometimes God sends angels to deliver a personal message, or leads us to a Bible verse that heals our souls." - Linda Watkins

God continues to show us His love every day. He even allow us to see Him but we fail to see because we simply don't care. We don't have to see Him in pictures like this just to believe He is real but I know this helps us strengthen our faith.

If we allow Jesus to let us see Him we could. We just need to have faith and have a constant communication with him.

I hope the picture helped you to feel blessed like what it did to me. I don't care if it is photoshopped which I don't think it is anyway because it is taken in the old ages.

Have a blessed day everyone!
