Welcome to Sar's "Stream". In this space you'll find a variety of topics that I am passionate about… from Parenting, Change, Relationships, Service, Taking Action, Leadership, Integrity, Success, Technology, Basketball, Android, Faith and Politics. This is the space where I strive to make a difference with pithy & engaging commentary.
If you desensitize the public (through a savvy, encompassing PR campaign that immediately labels those who stand up against the cause as bigots, for example), you can make anything “normal”, legal and acceptable.
Most people will tolerate everyone else; until you disagree with them that is.
- You’re called a bigot if you don’t support allowing “mothers” to choose to murder the defenseless unborn (like the kind of murder that Dr. Gosnell and ALL abortion clinics globally do regularly).
Project Nancy
I think “Project Nancy” was an effective dry-run for 2016. It seems like a savvy political strategy to gauge the strength of the Binay brand in every Region. The results are in and his team now knows exactly where they need to improve on a precinct level. The question is, will it pay off in a victory in 2016?
“Binay Poe”, at your service in 2016?
Do you really think Sen. Grace Poe can say “NO” to Erap, her late Dad’s best friend, who still actively campaigned for her even if she was “dropped” from UNA? What if she was “dropped” on purpose as part of a larger strategy to unwittingly become “nobody’s enemy”? If the Erap+Binay alliance holds, who’s to say we won’t see a “Binay-Poe” ticket in 2016?
I have just finished reading Todd Burpo’s book “Heaven is for Real”, a vivid account of his son, Colton, and his incredible journey to Heaven.
It just might be time to become a Filipino Entrepreneur and help our country truly grow. It’s also time to realize the demographic blessing we have before us… before it’s too late.
In the article by Jillian Keenan, she writes about the “Reality” behind the country’s Economic Growth.
With the water rising, dark clouds still coming and the spectre of spending the night floating in flood water; the man was sitting on his rooftop praying for God to rescue him. In the past 15 minutes a flash flood had filled the house up, water on the brink of the roof. With dusk quickly turning into dark, the hopes of a rescue were slim at best.
Then out of the gray horizon, cutting through the pouring rain, a rescue boat arrived! The man refused to board the rescue boat saying, “God said he will rescue me. Go on and rescue others. I am safe and trust God’s promise.” So the rescue boat left with its rescuers bewildered by the man’s choice. Two hours later, with the water above and beyond the roof the man was sitting on, a rescue chopper spotted the man clinging for his life on the flimsy Aluminum TV antenna. The rescuers were rebuffed, yet again, by the man with the same words he confidently spoke earlier, “God said he will rescue me. Go on and rescue others. I am safe and trust God’s promise.”
An hour later the man found himself fighting to survive in the raging river-like flood waters. It finally overwhelmed him and the man found himself being interviewed at heaven’s gates. He asked “Why did God not rescue me? I held on to his word faithfully and trusted he would rescue me from the flood.”
“I sent you the people in the rescue boat and you refused their help,” God began. “I figured maybe you needed a bigger vehicle to rescue you so I sent the people in the chopper yet you refused their help as well.”
If you use Social Media Sites, you’d be accustomed to seeing posts that request for prayers and praying for miracles to happen. You would usually also see comments that support the poster that the prayers will be answered or the miracles and blessing will be theirs.
This got me thinking.
If I simply pray and not “respond” and “take action” to what my higher power may be telling me, then my offer and actual prayer is an empty gong. If I can “BE” and take action but choose NOT TO, for whatever reason, then I am a hypocrite.
“I’ll pray for your kids healing.”
“I’ll pray for your intention/blessing.”
If I don’t act on the urging of God on something I can make a difference in, then I’ve not really done my part. Say a devastating flood hits and people need your presence and whatever used clothes you can afford to let go of. If you say “I’ve said a prayer for them” instead of being a living extension of God and be a response to the prayer people are waiting for, then you too have not done your part. The act of being an answered prayer to someone is better than the act of simply praying for someone else. If you can help and make a difference in other’s lives, you should do it.
