Finding Pasture: April 2015
http://findingpasture.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
I am the door; if any one enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. -John 10:9. Thursday, April 30, 2015. Jesus on the ferry. By its very nature, Camiguin Island is quite remote and separated from the mainland. Our primary means of transportation to and from the island is by ferry boat. There is a gang of boys ranging from ages 6 to 14 whose livelihood consists of jumping off the tops of ferries and diving for coins that passengers toss into the water. 8221; [He is risen!

Finding Pasture: October 2014
http://findingpasture.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
I am the door; if any one enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. -John 10:9. Sunday, October 19, 2014. What is a life worth? I knew theoretically, according to my Catholic Faith and pro-life upbringing, that this very sick woman's life was just as precious to God as the life of anyone else, but it was hard for me to accept that fact when faced with this very real situation. God is so merciful - Jesus softened my heart and also provided more than enough funding from m...

Finding Pasture: July 2015
http://findingpasture.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
I am the door; if any one enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. -John 10:9. Tuesday, July 14, 2015. Humbled by the holy ones. One summer morning, I read in Luke 14:11, “Every one who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” I knew Jesus was speaking those words to me. That afternoon, I stopped by the home of my student Kevin (read an older story about him here. Thanking Kevin's mom for the delicious food! I am so honored to have a han...

Finding Pasture: A God of miracles
http://findingpasture.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-god-of-miracles.html
I am the door; if any one enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. -John 10:9. Sunday, May 10, 2015. A God of miracles. I remember, pre-missions, I used to pray for the sick, for ailing relatives or elderly neighbors. I would say a quick Our Father and then pat myself on the back, having done my duty as a believing Christian. But what exactly DID I believe? Did I believe in signs and wonders? Did I believe that my God is a loving Father Who can and does answer my prayers?

I am the door; if any one enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. -John 10:9. Thursday, July 31, 2014. Just call him "Pods". Properly spelled, it would be Pads, but in the English language this spelling doesn’t lend itself to the correct pronunciation. “Pads” comes from Padre and is just one of the many nicknames we have for Father Joe, the parish priest with whom we work here in Sagay. Blessing a parishioner's newly-purchased motorella. Pods with some of his biggest fans.

Finding Pasture: March 2015
http://findingpasture.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
I am the door; if any one enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. -John 10:9. Monday, March 30, 2015. Jesus at the blackboard. With the arrival of final exams and graduation ceremonies last week, I’m reflecting on the past school year, the hard times and the happy times, and especially on the lives on particular students with whom I’ve had the privilege of journeying as they complete their high school career. Elza, class salutatorian, and her proud parents at graduation.

Finding Pasture: November 2014
http://findingpasture.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
I am the door; if any one enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. -John 10:9. Thursday, November 27, 2014. Prayers of the poor. In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus heals a blind man. In our mind’s eye, the scene is picturesque - the man and Jesus meet and have an unexplainable encounter that is both human and divine. We are touched by Jesus’ care and concern for this man’s suffering and great need. 8220;Ma’am, I’m hungry, ma’am. Give me the rice.”. Rosalinda and I make our way t...
