Once in a while, we find the past making an appearance in our present. Like a movie flashback we find ourselves reliving a memory long dormant and forgotten.
That’s exactly how I felt standing in front of one of the halls in Teachers Camp, Baguio. As I looked through the dusty [...]

I haven’t been able to blog lately. I’ve been so busy. I do add short pieces to http://thoughtsofalostboy.blogspot.com/ and I do answer your questions on http://www.formspring.me/dbonifacio.

God never said we couldn’t bring our wealth to Heaven. He actually told us how when He said to deposit our valuables with Him.

Shopping for [...]

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who [...]
