THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER Every year we celebrate many holidays but there is nothing like Christmas; and I am saying this not as a Christian but as an observer.  You see, other holidays do evoke certain emotions; for instance, Memorial Day will make us think of the fallen heroes and Veteran’s D...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER Many of you did not Lyna in person, but you all had prayed for her when I mentioned her name in our intercessory prayer at church.  As you might remember, Lyna suffered a brain hemorrhage over two years ago.  For quite some time she was in a coma but by the grace [&...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER Life is a journey; so is faith.  Some of us travelled smooth and straight by faith, some travelled rough and winding.  Some arrive quickly but some arrive late.  We do not always know, so it is best to leave it up to God and trust in His judgment.  John Ne...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER Yesterday I saw a beautiful sighting: a squirrel’s calmly munching and enjoying its food right in the middle of our church’s courtyard. It was a pleasant surprise because I had seen squirrels at the trees, but I had never seen one at our courtyard.  That rare sight r...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER Today we celebrate our beloved church’s 40th anniversary.  We give thanks to God for His love and mercy upon our church, His Spiritual Body on earth.  We thank Him for protecting and blessing His church so much that through her, many have come to know His Saving G...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER I know, I know, you must be tired of hearing my talking about our grandchildren.  But allow me to indulge one more time, please.  The other day while Santy and I were at our daughter’s home, our two-year-old grandson, as usual, asked me to carry him around.  ...
