A Little Morning Prayer
Dear Jesus,
Keep my words sweet, my tongue undeceiving and my smile true.
Keep my works loving, my arms strong, and my hands clean.
Keep my heart beating, my mind missing and my spirit singing.
Keep me with you, saved, loved and forgiven.
Amen.

The human mind is scrambling to find answers on the recent catastrophe that hit Japan. The thing is, scientific explanations about the nature of earthquake, tsunamis and Japan's geological situation did not satisfy the human hunger for curiosity.

Tsunamis and Faith
When a catastrophe hits us, like what happened recently in Japan, we often ask: 'why?'
WHY?
The answer is as elusive as tsunamis. It's unique to every situation. It's up to every person to find his/her meaning. The only sure thing is this: God never wills any of these to happen, but yes, He allows them.

A Prayer of a Grateful Heart
Thank You, dear Lord
For the hands that guide us,
For the eyes that watch over us
For the words that soothe our fears
For the whispers that dry our tears
For the silence that enables us to pray
For the day when we dance and play
For the night that allows us to dream
For the dawn that brings us the sunrise' beam
For the friends who make life worth living
For the enemies who make life intriguing
For the kin who hug us with affections
For the person who loves us in our imperfections.
Thank You, dear Lord...
