The Sporting Presidents

While surfing for Olympic updates from Beijing, I chanced upon a picture of GMA literally surfing. It looks authentic enough so I'm posting it here.

Pride

I wonder how would you define pride. Wikipedia says it is the excessive love of one's own excellence. Wanting our own way without considering the outcome is a basic form of pride.

There are 277 occurences of the word "pride" using the concordance provided by BibleTab.com. Most verses do not take "pride" in a positive way. Pride is a sin God hates the most. But why do you think God hates it so much?

The original sin is pride. If you can remember, Lucifer started the trend when he said:

I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Isa 14:12-14.

Please note the number of times the word "I" is mentioned.

Here are more verses from the book of Proverbs, Basic English version:

(8:14) The fear of the Lord is seen in hating evil: pride, a high opinion of oneself, the evil way, and the false tongue, are unpleasing to me.

(11:2) When pride comes, there comes shame, but wisdom is with the quiet in spirit.

(16:5) Everyone who has pride in his heart is disgusting to the Lord: he will certainly not go free from punishment.

(16:18) Pride goes before destruction, and a stiff spirit before a fall.

(21:4) A high look, and a proud heart ... is sin. (KJV)

(27:2) Let another man give you praise, and not your mouth; one who is strange to you, and not your lips.

Is your pride stopping you from believing that there is someone greater than you? If you can't acknowledge that you are not the best there is, then you are too proud, and you will never be.

Pride makes you steal money to support the lifestyle that you have. Pride makes a liar out of you. Pride makes you hurt the one that you love. Pride drives you nuts and you can't even accept the fact that you need serious help.

Asking for forgiveness is an act of humility Praying is also an act of humility. Two very simple things that proud people cannot do. So, why don't we all reflect and surrender ourselves to Someone Higher Than Us to take away all the bad pride that we have? It's that simple.

Professional Boxing 101: Champs

Kagamo gid sang boxing a. Indi parejo sa basketball, or bisan ano na sport, may isa lang gid ka champion. Sa NBA, ang Celtics ang champion -- tapos na, wala gamo! Pero sa boxing ya kadamo sang sanctioning bodies: WBO, WBC, IBF, WBA. Pati ang Ring Magazine nag entra man! Pero indi na naton pag considerar ang iban maliban sa mga alphabet soup belts. Kada weight class pa, may ara champion. Kag ano kuno? Kada champion may ara pa gid classification? Grabe, sige aton estoryajan.

• International Champion. Amo ni guro ang pinakanubo na title na worth mentioning. Kulang pa ang praktis para magid tuod tuod na gid na champion a.
• Interim Champion. Kun appointed ka lang na champion, amo ka sini. Kun may injury ang current champion gina kuha ang iya title pag lapse sang defense deadline date. Des pues, ginahatag nila sa next contender and amo ni na title. Daw indi ka maging proud kung interim ka lang a.
• Linear Champion. Kun gin kuhaan ka sang belt tungod na injure ka or wala ka kabayad sang sanctioning fees, amo ni ginatawag sang press sa imo.
  
• World Champion. Amo ni ya ang tuod na champion. Ambot kun ano ang difference sa International kag World? Maayo lang wala Universe ba. Daw beauty pageant na to ya tani e.
• Unified Champion. Kun may two World Titles ka halin sa any sanctioning body.
• Undisputed Champion. Kun may three World Titles ka halin sa any sanctioning body.
• Super Champion. Kun gin pakyaw mo tanan na World Titles. Daw pacquiao ba.

Grabe no? Tam-an ka complicated. Amo na kun kis-a mga common fans wala gid ka entiende a. Gusto lang nila kakita sumbaganay hasta mapatay ang contra. Earth gid.

Next time lain naman a. Halong lang da, bords.

UNESCO not involved with the search for the New 7 Wonders of Nature

I have received several emails asking for support to nominate Chocolate Hills and Palawan Subterranean River for UNESCO's search for the New 7 Wonders of Nature.

I did some research and found this fact:

UNESCO confirmed that it was not involved the N7W projects

While some of us might have bombarded UNESCO for its "non-inclusion" of our national wonders in the list, our efforts might have fallen on the wrong ears.

The project's official site is here.

Wiki scores one over Xenu!

I have always been fascinated by cults and have this obsession to find out how they operate. For the past two years, I've been helping a couple of friends escape the trap. I even dared to go to an "orientation" seminar. All cults depend on its membership size and they are willing to do anything just to get an individual to join.

I am reprinting a news item this morning to those who are interested in the Church of Tom Cruise.

Wikinews has learned that the Church of Scientology warned the documents-leaking site Wikileaks.org that they are in violation of United States copyright laws after they published several documents related to the Church. Wikileaks has no intention of complying, and states that in response, it intends to publish a thousand pages of additional Scientology materials beginning Monday.

In the letter to Wikileaks, lawyers for the Church's Religious Technology Center (RTC), which oversees the use of the their logos, writings and religious content, states that the site "placed RTC's Advanced Technology works on Wikileaks.org's website without the authorization" of the Church.

"I have a good faith belief, and in fact know for certain, that posting copies of these works through your system was not authorized by my client, any agent of my client, or the law. Please be advised that your customer's action in this regard violates United States copyright law. Accordingly, we ask for your help in removing these works immediately from your service," states the letter from Ava Paquette of Moxon & Kobrin, which was published by Wikileaks.

On March 9, 2008, Wikileaks published several documents relating to the Church's Office of Special Affairs and personal notes gathered by Frank Oliver, a former Scientologist and former member of the Church's Special Affairs office. On March 26, 2008, Wikileaks published the entire set of the Churches 'Operating Thetan Level' documents which included handwritten notes by Scientology's founder, L. Ron Hubbard.

Although the letter does not mention specific legal threats, the letter asks that Wikileaks "preserve any and all documents pertaining to this matter and this customer, including, but not limited to, logs, data entry sheets, applications -- electronic or otherwise, registration forms, billings statements or invoices, computer print-outs, disks, hard drives, etc."

Despite the letter, Wikileaks states it will not comply with the "abusive request" by the Church.

"Wikileaks will not comply with legally abusive requests from Scientology any more than Wikileaks has complied with similar demands from Swiss banks, Russian off-shore stem cell centers, former African Kleptocrats, or the Pentagon. Wikileaks will remain a place where people of the world may safely expose injustice and corruption," stated Wikileaks in a release on its website.

Wikileaks further states that, "in response to the attempted suppression, Wikileaks will release several thousand additional pages of Scientology material next week."

Love of money is indeed the root of all evil

I'd like to share to you a story that happened almost 2000 years ago. Money turns people into liars -- or worse, into thieves. Stealing is one of the earliest sins committed by man. That is why it is included in the Ten Commandments. It is straightforward and easy to follow. Thou shalt not steal.

I had a close encounter with a person who went astray because of money. She lied to her family. Then she lied to her officemates. She never realized that she also lied to God. She told lies upon lies and put her life in a mess.

Please read the story below and send me your comments. I will try to join the Bible story into my story in my next post.

Acts 5 (NIV)

Ananias and Sapphira

1 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property.

2 With his wife's full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles' feet.

3 Then Peter said, "Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land?

4 Didn't it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn't the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied to men but to God."

5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened.

6 Then the young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.

7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.

8 Peter asked her, "Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?"
"Yes," she said, "that is the price."

9 Peter said to her, "How could you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also."

10 At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

11 Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events.
