Why be an undercover Christian? Live life!
My Island, My Home…forever
Have a blessed Christmas Eve with family and friends. If you are not with loved ones, I pray that the Holy Spirit comfort you and wrap you with love and peace. As for me, i am blessed to be with my wife and kids. I do not take it for granted that I have them around. I miss my mom and dad as they are halfway around the world. It warms my heart that they are at my fathers childhood home right now.
The Newsboys say it best.
Some negativity, frustration and angst tried entering my thoughts, but the words of encouragement from workhorseforchrist really has been helping my the past two weeks. Adam has an amazing blog that will inspire and educate. Please visit it.
Finally, I thank the lord for each and everyone of you who take the time to read this blog. I pray that this blog helps you as much as it has helped strengthen my faith. God Bless us all! -PJSLB
My favorite Christmas tree still is this one from the Micronesia Mall on Guam. The tree lights move to the sound of music ever 15 mins.
Feel free to add your favorite tree. Have a great weekend everyone. God Bless! -PJSLB
Pearl Harbor was an event that will live in infamy in the hearts and minds of all Americans. I can only imagine the horror and confusion that took place on that fateful day. Actually, i CAN imagine what it was like. As a son of New York, I know what it is like to see the place you grew up in change in just an instant.
What many people may not realize is that the attacks on that day was not just on Pearl Harbor. Thousands of miles away west of Hawaii (and a whole lot closer to Japan), The beautiful island of Guam was attacked as well and became Japanese territory. You can read a fabulous story about that fateful day on Guam from The Pacific Daily News.
Guam is a hidden gem that every American should visit. There is no place in the world that delivers the way Guam does. Guam is a melting pot of American, Asian, and Pacific Island culture and traditions. Pictures of Guam do not do it justice. It is much more beautiful in person.
On a day that we remember the lives of those lost at Pearl Harbor, please say a prayer for the people on Guam such as Cleotide Bamba, 84 whose life was also changed on that fateful day despite being thousands of miles away from Pearl Harbor.
In his name we all live. – PJSLB
