Sample 84 - Hope In Sight!


The future looks brighter. By God's grace, I happen to be blessed with someone to walk down the road with me. Indeed, there is greater light ahead when you see it with a partner.

I love you Paola! To God be all the glory and praise!

Sample 83 - August 15, 2008 - Florence Applying Dye On Marion's Hair

Florence Applying Dye On Marion's Hair - August 15, 2008



These are easily two of my favorite shots taken.

Mom and Dad were always telling each other that they would stop putting dye on their hair as soon as they reached 70. They were always so diligent and disciplined to set other things aside whenever their hair was getting just a little bit too gray for their tastes.

One thing I remember is that they always had a conversation whenever they took turns in putting dye on each others crowns. Now that I think of it, one thing I remember about them is that they never stopped talking to each other. True, they had disagreements and they raised their voices every now and then but they never stopped talking to each other.

As I was going through Proverbs 15 earlier today I read a verse, 'A wholesome tongue is a tree of life...'

Indeed, I believe communication was one thing that kept my parents together for 36 years until the Lord took Dad home. I believe their personal relationship flourished as a tree with every conversation they had.

I know Fathers' Day is coming up. I couldn't let it pass without acknowledging not just our Colonel, our Dad, but the wonderful marriage they had.

Miss you, 'Tay. I love you so much.

Sample 82 - Five



There will be situations that would be hard to understand... And perhaps, during these times, the reason why we fail to grasp why things happen is because due to some circumstances, we could only see (or bear to see) one side of the story.

If we are in Christ, we should always remember that though we would not be able to see all the angles all the time, our God is still always faithful to make things happen for our good, because He loves us. As we go through every trial step by step, I believe the Lord would make us see how the whole picture unfolds... and we would move forward, conquering in His name, for His glory.

God bless you.
