"Do not judge others and God will not judge you. "(Mt 7:1)
In a world of self-professed "holy" people, judging others seems like second nature. Everyday, we get to experience being scrutinized by self-righteous souls thinking that perhaps, they are better than us, more spiritual, more compliant. They play being God, believing that they can read people's minds. These are the kind of human beings that nobody wants around. They only see what seem fit to their standards, fast to criticize, always missing the big picture.
Just because we observe the Lenten season differently, doesn't mean we are wrong. Justifying every bit of reason why we take this time to enjoy rather than mourn? I say, don't be guilty! Maybe God would prefer that we spend this time with our loved ones, more than going to different chuches, praying for self-gratifying intentions. This is my take on the observance of the Holy Week.

From a City girl's view point, there's nothing much to do when I go to the province. That's why this is the best time to: go out at night and look at the sky, roam around the backyard, take time to observe how chickens go about with their lives.

Come Easter Sunday, we had the opportunity to be chosen as the Principal Sponsors for the Baptismal of John Steeves & John Vincent. This is the 20th+ time that I will stand witness as a godmother, 1st time with twins. Yes! A double bundle of joy. I almost forgot what godparents are for, what the Sacrament of Baptism stands for. We had a refresher course on this.
- Baptism relieves us of the Original Sin
- Through it, we receive Sanctifying grace
- We become members of the Church of God

What do we really want? "World Peace!" - Ms. Congeniality 2, Armed & Fabulous
