The Bible on History Channel

My husband has an amazing mind with regards to remembering history and facts. When we watch the Jeopardy, a quiz show here in the US, hubby can answer 80% + of the questions. He is up to date with politics, current events and the trendy Big TV Shows such The Bible and Vikings on History Channel, he knows it first hand. The Bible is an Epic series on History Channel aired on primetime and produced by Roma Downey and Mark Burnett ( see 2nd photo below).

The mini series runs for 10 hours and shown in five installments. It started March 3 and will conclude on Easter Sunday. Each episode runs for 2 hours and we have been watching it since. At first, I thought no one would patronize it especially that it talks about Christianity. Lo and behold, it is trending in Twitter, most talked-about in Facebook and according to the news, The Bible had 13.1 million viewers on its first episode and by far, the largest audience on cable TV this year. 

I am very happy that The Bible has a positive feedback not only from the religious community but including those who are not Christians. I read the twitter feedback and was truly amazed that most of the tweets are positive. There were blasphemers and some controversies especially when they showed the EVIL who look like the US President. If you haven't seen THE BIBLE on History Channel, you can check it here and I hope you will enjoy watching. Don't forget to watch it this Sunday at 8/7C for the last two-hour episode.

Have a blessed Holy Week to all.

Prayer For Others

I read this prayer posted by a dozen of my friend's wall in Facebook. I thought of sharing this message to all of you too.

I cannot make the sparrow fly,
Nor can I understand
What makes the clouds hang in the sky,
But I know One who can.

I cannot make the ocean waves
Dash forth against the land;
I cannot help the soul that craves,
But I know One who can.

I cannot hear the humble prayers
Of those of foreign clans;
I cannot ease their wants and cares,
But I know One who can.

I cannot lead the erring ones
With mine own trembling hand;
Nor yet restore the hope that's gone,
But I know One who can.

I cannot see the broken hearts
That long for joy again;
Nor can I mend the broken parts,
But I know One who can.

I cannot heal the many ills
That come so oft to man;
I cannot give the joy that fills,
But I know One who can.

Nicki Minaj Is Mocking my Religion on her Performance on Grammy's

I have nothing against the talent of Nicki Minaj. I saw her on TV, I heard her name via TMZ news but, I am not familiar of her songs. Probably she is popular ... whatever. No offense to the fans but, there are so many people were offended by her performance during the Grammy Awards last night.The performance was a bit too far. It was so insensitive of her having to perform an "Exorcism inspired" presentation. It was disrespectful to Catholic Religion especially when she bring the Pope imitator as her escort. What a shame!Is the thirst for fame had to be like this? What an awful choice of presentation.

Fill the World with Love

When I was in high school, I was in a church choir. We had a beach get together party and we hired a boat to sail us to the river and off to the beach area. As we were sailing, we sang religious songs and one particular song that I can't forget is the song Fill the World with Love. It was memorable because I was staring at the gorgeous sunset. It was serene and just beautiful. Happy Listening! I saw this children's choir in you tube, you might check on them too. In the morning of my life I shall look to the sunrise.
At a moment in my life when the world is new.
And the blessing I shall ask is that God will grant me,
To be brave and strong and true,
And to fill the world with love my whole life through.

(Chorus)
And to fill the world with love
And to fill the world with love
And to fill the world with love my whole life through

In the noontime of my life I shall look to the sunshine,
At a moment in my life when the sky is blue.
And the blessing I shall ask shall remain unchanging.
To be brave and strong and true,
And to fill the world with love my whole life through

(Chorus)

In the evening of my life I shall look to the sunset,
At a moment in my life when the night is due.
And the question I shall ask only I can answer.
Was I brave and strong and true?
Did I fill the world with love my whole life through?

(Chorus)

Are You An Atheist?

It is hard to become a fisher of man! Right now, I have these goals in life: To Know and Praise God, To do good Deeds and Respect others! I do believe in God! So, when I encountered people who doesn't, I don't pushed my own views! This week, I met someone who says, "I have problems with Catholics, because they pray images and statues". Here we go again but, I don't want to debate about Religion 101. If you are an Atheist, my response is this story: A man went to a barbershop to have
his hair cut and his beard trimmed.
As the barber began to work,
they began to have a good conversation.
They talked about so many things
and various subjects.

When they eventually touched on
the subject of God, the barber said:
"I don't believe that God exists."

"Why do you say that?"
asked the customer.

"Well, you just have to go out in
the street to realize that God
doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists,
would there be so many sick people?
Would there be abandoned children?
If God existed, there would be neither
suffering nor pain.
I can't imagine loving a God who
would allow all of these things."

The customer thought for a moment,
but didn't respond because he didn't
want to start an argument.
The barber finished his job and the customer
left the shop.
Just after he left the barbershop,
he saw a man in the street with long,
stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed
beard. He looked dirty and unkept.
The customer turned back and entered
the barber shop again and he said
to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."

"How can you say that?"
asked the surprised barber.
"I am here, and I am a barber.
And I just worked on you!"

"No!" the customer exclaimed.
"Barbers don't exist because
if they did, there would be no
people with dirty long hair
and untrimmed beards,
like that man outside."

"Ah, but barbers DO exist!
What happens is, people
do not come to me."

"Exactly!"-
affirmed the customer.
"That's the point!
God, too, DOES exist!
What happen is, people
don't go to Him
and do not look for Him.
That's why there's so much pain
and suffering in the world."
