I had a laugh when I saw this meme on Facebook, not just because it's funny but because it's true. We have WAY more in common with the “fool” who keeps getting roasted than with the wise man we thought we were. That sinking feeling hits hard after chapter 10. But here’s the beautiful (and...

Just hours after a 7.6 earthquake rocked the Philippines on October 10, 2025, a viral post connecting the whole thing to a Jeremiah 10:10 (because October 10 is 10/10) made rounds in the social media, particularly on Facebook.

I can count on my fingers the times I've flown in a plane. I've always considered traveling in one a privilege, if not a luxury.

The Philippine Election Day just concluded yesterday. In just three hours after voting closed, memes and rants filled my Facebook home page. There are complaints about why people they have not voted for are winning. Welcome to the tyranny of the majority. Most of my Facebook friends are young people. I am amazed by seeing...
