FAITH…. Sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible.
I had read this before at school when we were still fond on searching and printing quotes, stories on the net. But it never knock me that much maybe we are too many reading this that made me not focused on what I read but as I read it back on my office just last week, It hardly KNOCK ME and made me so HAPPY and now I am sharing this to you..... IT is REALLY worth Reading.... just have FAITH......... EVERYTHING IS JUST FAITH... AND LET HIM STAY IN OUR HEART AT ALL TIMES.. NO NEED FOR PROOF OF HIS MIRACLE.. NO NEED FOR CHAIN MSGS> TO TEST HIS POWER>>> JUST HAVE FAITH
INTERESTING CONVERSATION
An Atheist Professor of Philosophy speaks to his class on the problem Science has with God, the Almighty. He asks one of his New Christian students to stand and…
Professor: You are a Christian, aren’t you. son?
Student: Yes, sir.
Professor: So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely sir.
Professor: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Professor: Is God all powerful?
Student: Yes.
Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn’t. How is this God good then? Hhmm?
(Student is silent.)
Professor: You can’t answer, can you? Let’s start again, young fella. Is God good?
Student: yes.
Professor: Is Satan good?
Student: No.
Professor: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From…God…
Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.
Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.
Professor: So who created evil?
(Student does not answer.)
Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Professor: So, who created them?
(Student has no answer.)
Professor: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me son…Have you ever seen God?
Student: No sir.
Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student: No sir.
Professor: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of god for that matter?
Student: No sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Professor: According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your God doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my Faith.
Professor: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor: Yes.
Student: No, sir. There isn’t.
(The Lecture Theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat…but we don’t have anything called Cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such thing as darkness?
Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?
Student: You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light…but if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it’s called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?
Professor: So what is the point you are making, young Man?
Student: sir, my point is your Philosophical Premise is flawed.
Professor: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student: Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality. You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the Concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can’t even explain a Thought. It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact that Death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a Monkey?
Professor: If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes of course, I do.
Student: Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)
Since no one has ever observed the Process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on- going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a Scientist but a preacher?
(The Class is in uproar.)
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s Brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)
Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched it or smelt it?...No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then Trust your Lectures, sir?
(The room is silent. The Professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)
Professor: I guess you’ll to take them of Faith, son.
Student: That is it sir…The link between Man and God is FAITH. That is all that keeps things Moving and alive.
FAITH….
Sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible.
It turned out later that the student is Albert Enstein.

IT TAKES COURAGE TO ADMIT THAT YOU ARE WRONG
It takes courage to admit that we are wrong.
When a person commits mistakes he/she kept on blaming someone or kept on giving reasons but when you figured out the situation, it’s so obvious that it was him/her.
Why people stay where they are now? Because they never do changes to step forward nor shall I say, they never know how to admit their mistakes that’s why they never do changes regarding on it.
BLAMING! Is always the OPTION!
Why most of us – Filipinos, are in poverty?
I know what you are thinking. It’s because of our government.
But I say, really?
Did you hear what you are saying? While you are pointing your finger to the government, remember four of your fingers are pointing back to you.
I know government also play a big role for the improvement of our country- of the people. But just think! We are billions while we only have one government.
We have more than billions of opinions, suggestions, complaints but only one government.
If ever our government will get strict? Are you sure of billions of people, billions will follow?
You know what’s the problem most of us? We kept on complaining with out watching ourselves if we have done something or nothing and just kept on relying it to Government! Kept on blaming it to Government! I am not a pro-government or neither of my family is into government. But I just want to say that BEFORE WE COMPLAIN, WE MUST TAKE ACTION FIRST!
And THINK if we should complain and point our finger on the government or we must point it to our self first!
We are what we are now because we choose to stay where we are now and what we are.
It’s not the government, it’s not your neighbor, your brother, your sister, but IT IS YOU who put yourself to where you are!
And if you just have courage to admit your mistakes, then you have two ply of courage to change that for a better life.

CellphONE....
It was 6pm last night, after my duty, I went to Tronix to have my pictures in my phone printed and make it a s a key holder, after that I saw a Mr Softy stall nearby the scalator, so I stop and buy a Teen age cone. While eating the ice cream on the bench, I found out that every people that passed in front of me, have their cellphone held on their hand, nor some is calling somebody...
Nowadays, cellphone becomes the number ONE thing that people mostly bring nor seek for.
In the morning, for sure 95% of the people look on their phones by the time they wake up. And at night, cellphone is the last that they take a look before they got to sleep.
Look, how cellphone rules!
But hope it's not the cellphone that could break a family, a friendship or any relationship. Before cellphones were used to communicate with our love ones but as time goes by it is also through cellphones that a family, a friendship or a relationship become ruined....
Let us never forget that we cellphones were made for easy access and we can never stop communicating on the people close to us whom residing in far places due to work or personal matters.

Why most people are Unhappy
Why most of us were never happy of where we are?
Though we already have the things we wanted yesterday, but why now we look for another and for sure tomorrow it would be another one too?
Why most of the people always look for their happiness?
What is really “Happiness” means?
*** In my own opinion and based of my observations and also on experience since I am not an exemption for the upper mentioned attitude, HAPPINESS is next to ACCEPTANCE.
It is not bad to aim high. It is not bad to be on high. But it is bad to CRAVE FOR MORE when you have ENOUGH.
Why people are unhappy? For they never embrace the life that they had. They never accept of what they have now. They aim for more and more and more and more until it leads to discontentment that would result to UNHAPPINESS.
I know not all of us are abundant. That we still have lots of things we need that we still have to plant to harvest one, a reason why most people are striving so hard to attain it. But why at times that we already have what we need then we aim for our wants and as we have what we want, then we aim for something new on the following days and so on and so forth. As if we want to own everything, TO OWN THE WORLD. There’s no satisfaction in ourselves that’s why we are always hungry. Hunger that at times when we will just stop, talk and listen to ourselves, we can hear a part of us whom tired of the things we’ve done and miss the simple things that could make us happy. We even forget how to laugh like a child who laughs and smile on a little piece of candy on his hand.
We forget how to accept and say thank you of all the things that we have now. We even forget to ask the one who gave that to us. We forget what really can make us happy for we forget that we don’t own the world nor we own anything or anyone.
