Problems on paying your bills? Face your creditors. You are not to get pressured more than what you are getting now. Face your creditors and tell them you need to work out something with them to help you pay the bills. It could be damaging to your social ego but it is the most sane advise I can give. Face your creditors and tell them the truth. Work out something and try to find extra work on commission basis to earn extra income. And most of all pray, one never fails with prayer. Prayer is very strong because you are not merely reciting with words. Prayer is a heartfelt communication with the spiritual sphere of our God. When you are at your lowest moment that is the perfect time to cross the bridge and seek the help of God. You can pray more by heart when the problem is pressing right?
A state archivist was charged with stealing hundreds of artifacts at the New York State Library to pay off his daughter's credit card debt. Officials found hundreds of documents and artifacts in the archivist's home. He admitted taking things on an as-need basis to pay family bills, house renovation, car bills, tuition and his daughter's credit card problem. His theft increased in 2007 when he learned that surveillance cameras were to be installed in the library.
A Virginia lawyer tipped off authorities when he saw the four page letter from Vice President John Calhoun written in 1833 listed on eBay. The archivist who is earning $71,732 a year from his job was placed on administrative leave.
He got a big salary after all it was just the luxury that made him spend much. It could be easier to simply face the creditors and sell what is in the house than steal. Luxury items are not necessity so they can live without it. Never steal, just face your self and your creditors. Facing self is not easy especially when it involves social acceptance but it has to be the cleanest and least headache. Never steal because one thing will lead to another and you find yourself more in trouble than you were before. Pray, face yourself and face your creditors... That is the only way!

Intelligence is not wisdom
Intelligence is never a sign of wisdom. It is a gift from God to succeed in working out developments and technological innovations to help and alleviate the life of your community and of humankind. Math skills, problem solving, economic solutions and computer advancements are all intelligence. The beauty of living in a simple life filled with love and concern for the human being is what we call wisdom. Wisdom deals more on the spiritual level of the person. The advantage and the opportunity to understand life and deal with compassion and love to resolve war and conflict. That is wisdom. Intelligence resorts to retaliation and arms while wisdom resorts to understanding, compassion and peace.
Once can definitely exist without the other because they are different set of gifts given to man based on how they seek for the face of Jesus. Naturally you can tell the tree by the fruits it bear and you can tell a person by how he gives his idea and concept on things. Wisdom comes from conversations with God. One only gain it when he seek him with all his heart, body and soul.

The heart of worship
When the music fades
All is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless Your heart
I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath
I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm coming back to the heart of worship,
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
When we need an inspiration to begin our worship let's begin it by singing praise and worship songs. Get to the heart of worship stripped with all our earthly troubles and wealth. We come in humility all by ourselves to worship him with all our heart. There is only one requirement for this - intentions. Know that God sees our heart regardless of how we deny it. If you find it difficult to start the prayers sing it. Jesus would love to hear your heart sing today!

Slice of life
A slice of life is a slice of faith. Everything that happens test our grip with our ancestors faith, our mother's faith and our very own faith. Sometimes one could be so lucky he will have all the pain in the world and all the bad things in life. And he begin to question God why? I for myself cannot understand why at some times in our life there could be so much hurt and so much pain. If we look deeper, everything happens for a reason. But most of the time we can't be that reasonable because it will be very difficult to endure everything. Remember that it is us all along. It is up to us to end the pain by trying to know more of God. When some bad things happen he wants something. That something is you to remember him. It was us all along.

The Man with the mission
The Man with the mission has been working on it for the love of mankind. His mission is to direct souls and lead souls to the realm of his Father's kingdom for eternal happiness. The Man with the mission gathers his sheep and takes care of that sheep because of love. He is weary waiting for that invitation from us so he starts giving us the invitation. And what's more, suffering is a challenge for people who were given the invitation to experience and endure it. Why I said so? People who came out of the challenge came out to be stronger, mature, patient with all the good virtues in life, and best of all, inherit the wisdom that came from experiencing and enduring the challenge of sacrifice and pain. Inherit I say because wisdom is already there but it didn't work because there are specific requirements to make and that is enduring love, tears in pain, and the sacrifice to continue living with the gift of life God has given us. It works when we overcome all this and we gain the spirituality to see things the way we should all see it, in the eyes of compassion and care for humanity. The man with the mission completed his mission here on earth with great compassion. This is the only time I am telling you to be a great copycat of the Man with the mission. Do your day-to-day task with great love and compassion and you will see how these special ingredients can make you stronger to fulfill commitments.

what's the purpose of living?
I can't comprehend why some people have more than enough riches in this world and some have only their tears to accompany them in their hunger. I can't even say they didn't struggled hard or even worked hard to live that's why they didn't become rich. They did their time well and so am I. Today I have been sitting in my bedroom looking at the houses outside mine, if you can call it a house. They were more of a makeshift shacks. Life could be eluding at times. There are people who are quite favored by God. They lived a very comfortable life, more than comfortable I think. Sometimes I ask why there is such discrepancy in our values. I know that the ideal answer is effort, work and faith. This morning I just wake up and ask why after all the efforts I just can't live quite comfortably yet. Of course we have this feeling at times especially when everybody in the family is getting sick and me taking care of them even at dawn and myself getting sick with asthma also. Now thinking of the budget and all that goes to the medical bills, getting replenishment is quite difficult when I am sick also. Maybe I am just tired but I just can't help writing what I think. Life essence, people's sacrifices and God's glory is a matter of deep spirituality or else misunderstanding can lead one to rebellion against his love. This is why a lot of people are finding some sort of outlet for their depression like witchcraft and listening to fraud prophets. What's the purpose of living then?

love conquers all
A 66 year old Brazilian man saves grandson from the grip of a 16 foot long anaconda by beating the snake with rocks and a knife for about half an hour until it released the grandson. The boy was then rushed to the hospital for the needed stitches on his chest. This is what we call a love that knows no bounds, selfless, move to sacrifice self just to save the other. This could happen to anybody but great love does not manifest with just anybody. What I am trying to say is if we promote caring and loving with every people here on earth then we would have impend war and live on a peaceful world.

cocaine vaccine
Houston Baylor College researchers are working on cocaine vaccine to treat people hooked on drugs. The vaccine was designed to stimulate the immune system to attack the real drug when taken. The immune system will then recognize the drug when ingested and work on a combination of antibodies that binds to the cocaine. This clever idea prevents the drug from reaching the brain and rid the users of interest over the drug because they won't get high anymore. Addiction vaccines are very promising but they are unlikely to work with everyone since treatments has to be customized too according to body reactions. But it seems that the vaccine just circumvents the reward pathways in the brain to hijack cocaine. This time if human test will succeed we got ourselves the cure of the century: a drug for a drug.
