Typical Excuses















"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching... Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you endured in a great conflict full of suffering. Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated. You suffered along with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions. So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded". (Hebrews 10:24-25; 32-35)

A Different Kind of Birthday This Year

It was a different kind of birthday experience I had this year. You see, this past weekend, just a day before my birthday, I admitted myself last Sunday in the wee hours (2am/3am 1st day of DST that day, too) of the morning to the ER because of stomach pain since Friday night. The ER were jam-packed. Spent all Sunday morning and better part of the afternoon in the ER hallway waiting (my own version of "no rooms in the inn" misfortune). It was diagnosed that I have an acute appendicitis. And to think this all happened during Lent—somehow, and fittingly, an opportunity opened up to deepen both me and my wife's Lenten practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving during my ordeal in the hospital. I got to offer up my pain and suffering, and an opportunity to pray quietly for the healing of all the sick I saw in the ER, as well as all the current patients at that hospital while waiting almost 15 hours before to getting a room; I also got to fast for more than 24-36 hours witho...

Got an Evangelization Moment?

𝙀𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙯𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙧 Through the years at work, I've learned that wearing a Jesus (or Mary or a saint) medallion or crucifix seemed to capture my clients' attention, and without me even trying, it elicits them to open up, ask and talk about faith, prayer or church conversations. I find many people are living in quiet desperation, longing for something transcendent. As an introvert, this is one simple way of evangelizing and sanctifying my workplace especially working on a setting or system that is imperfect. Excited to hear your #holymoments story, too. Who knows, "you may be the only Jesus some people see."   CHECK OUT SAINTLY CATHOLIC CHRISTIANS GIFTS & MERCH:  Amazon.com/author/domchu Artjuniverse.redbubble.com Teepublic.com/user/artjuniverse
