 Coming together is a beginning; Keeping together is progress; Working together is success.-- Anonymous. _____ Shiela has been very busy lately preparing for their wedding ( in fact she haven't signed our wedding contract yet , he he he) until Glenn came home from Dubai ( an Engineer who worked in a company who makes yacht- a sail boat). Though the sky was gloomy when we had our pictorials (at Nasuli, Bukidnon) we still manage to get nice poses & shots. I really like the sweetness of the couple since it seems so natural for them to care for each other ( make me think of the good old days I used to date my lovely wife Telay.... sighhhhh... haaayyyy...). Enough for that imagination Percy... hehehe... Anyways, hope u like some of our shots here. I will be posting an album of series of shots then... Enjoy viewing it. Thanks to Glenn & Shiela for this nice oppotunity. God Bless!

 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved also the church and gave Himself for her.- Ephesians 5:25.
 Christmas, when Christ was born (John 3:16), and Christ resurrection from the dead are the two most important events that Christians should celebrate... Without the other, there would be no such thing as 'Salvation' which we are enjoying right now. But again, let us all remember that, "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him."- John 3:36. If you haven't received Christ yet as your Lord and Personal Saviour, do it today! He will surely listen to you... be counted as one of God's children! Welcome to God's family!- Percy ____ This sunset photo was taken in one of our vacations at Duka Bay last year. Had it taken by one of our helpers... had set the camera first to manual mode "underexposed" to a half increments before I posed with my wife and two kids. Had done the sillouette thing later in Photoshop... Happy Easter everyone! God Bless!
 When Jesus died on the cross, He paid for the sins of human race. Only those who believe in Him, however, can receive His loving provision. The sacrifice of Christ is sufficient for all, but it is effective only for those who trust in Him.
As the Lord hung on the cross, two criminals were crucified next to Him. One of those men is now in the place of the lost- his doom in hell forever sealed. The other is with Christ- his place in heaven assured for eternity. Their contrasting attitudes towards the Man on the center cross made all the difference. One of the criminals railed at the Lord in unbelief. The other cried out in faith, "Lord remember me when You come into Your Kingdom" (Luke 23;42). To him Jesus said, " Today you will be with Me in Paradise" v.43. We are all represented by those two men. We either believe in Christ or we reject Him. Our eternal destiny depends on our decision. Jesus said to Himself, " He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already" (John 3:18). On this Good Friday, let's thank Jesus for paying for our sins. If you haven't trusted Him, do it today! In dying on the cross, Jesus became the Great Divider. - Richard De Haan.
 Every Person is driven by something. It could be the desire for money, fame, pleasure, or success. Whatever it is, something drives a person's life. Do you know what drives your life?
For what purpose did God put you here on earth? Obviously God has a purpose for you. But until you bring God into the picture, you will never understand what life is about. Here are some guidelines to help you focus this issue: GUIDELINE 1: Recognize what drives your life today. GUIDELINE 2: Realize that God has a purpose for your life. You are no accident, no chance happening. GUIDELINE 3: Receive the fullness of life that God intends you to have. "For me to live is Christ and to die is gain," wrote PAUL ( PHILIPPIANS 1:21 ). He knew what made his life worth living. How would you define your life purpose? You have one . Find out what it is. Tomorrow Begins Today
