Love is

Real love is not based on romance, candle light dinner and walks along the beach. In fact, is based on respect, compromise, care and trust.

Love does not need a reason. Pure love will come from the heart without reason and it’ll stay every season.

Love is not who you can see yourself with. It is who you can’t see yourself without.
Its so easy to fall in love but hard to find someone who will catch you.

Love is a language spoken by everyone but understood only by heart.
Everybody knows how to love but few people know how to stay in love with one person forever.

It takes a strong heart to LOVE but it takes an even stronger heart to LOVE after its been BROKEN.

I love it when I see old couples in love because it makes me believe that TRUE LOVE does exist.

Happy Valentines' Day to all.

Shirley Temple Passed Away

I am sharing this little blue glass that has a picture of Shirley Temple. Though I am not a fan of Shirley Temple, I watched some of her movies that are cute and at time funny enough to make me laugh. I wished to have the ability to make someone laugh even for just a moment and she did it well. She is 85, I believe.

She was a beloved by so many for her cuteness and right timing to crack up someone watching the old tube TV. She passed away leaving a legacy of making people laugh and enjoying life with laughter. May she rest in peace...

But many will be crying for the loss, a wonderful soul who made us laugh even at a young age. There was an article in Yahoo about Shirley Temple's passing, showcasing the house where she was born, a simple house just like ours.  She was born in Santa Monica California on April 23, 1928 with a father who worked at the local bank and her mom, a homemaker just like me. Together they had two sons but mom was so convinced that if she just had a daughter she could make her a movie star and so it happen as she believed.  What an inspiring thought that really came true as she believed. Armed with determination, which I admired, somewhat paved the path for Shirley Temple playing songs and reading books during her pregnancy to becoming a STAR.  How many people are able to do that - predict a child's destiny? She must have visualized it every day.

A very good example of what mothers can do for their children. She nurtured her from womb with love and care. They even have to move a few times to protect her. Her fame waned when she grew up and switched focus to doing service in politics such as a diplomat. What a real movie story to watch. She will surely be missed.

The Courage

We need the love and the courage to say the following like John :

It is right, holy, and beautiful to have sexual relations in the context of the marriage covenant.

It is right to be a virgin or celibate until marriage.

It is right to respect, cherish, and defend life from the moment of conception until natural death.

It is right to respect those with homosexual tendencies and to offer them healing and encouragement.

It is right for married couple to have children and always be open to conceiving them.

It is right to look at a Christian's body and recognize it as a temple of the holy Spirit.

It is right to be and look pure, free and holy.

It is right to be unpopular with those who aren't living for Jesus.

It is right to give God thanks and praise.

It is not right to have sexual relations outside of marriage.

It is not right to abort babies.

It is not right to have homosexual relations.

It is not right to use artificial means of contraception.

It is not right to look lustfully at a person.

It is not right to masturbate.

It is not right to tell "dirty jokes," condone pornography, or dress immodestly.

What Would You Do?

A friend shared about her sticky situation. One day, her neighbor who lives next door came knocking on her door. This neighbor is clearly someone who lives in the same block, someone you see in plain sight once in a while, yet hardly exchange hellos. She doesn't even know her name since she hardly had contact with this neighbor. The neighbor came over to ask a favor. Being a modest person, my friend entertains the neighbor with a smile on her face not knowing what is coming...

After all the pleasantries -

Ms. Rosie, would you be kind enough to share me your wifi password so I may be able to have internet access? We do not have internet access at home and I know you have. Please???

Rosie, who tried to maintain her composure, said in a diplomatic way to avoid hurting a neighbor's feelings, to steer clear of conflict took a while to respond " Mmm, I really don't know the password. My kids did the password thing and they are not home."

The neighbor, with a disappointed face replied "I see. I better leave my cell phone number so your kids can text me when they get home. Is that okay with you, Miss Rosie?"

I almost panicked, not knowing what to do but said "Okay.", my friend blankly said.

After the neighbor left, Rosie came to her senses and realized that her trick did not work. For trying to be modest, she put herself in this awkward situation. She tried to be subtle, indirect refusal, yet the neighbor did not get it.

Let me ask you. If someone asks for your WiFi password what would you do?
