RADAR
Radar is very important for the security and safety of a voyage across the ocean waves. The Radar gives the opportunity to signal users of the sea when the vision is limited. It warns of any obstacle which must be steered by as given order by the duty officer. The Radar is very important and must always be “ON” while at sea. However, it’s the Officer on duty to be alert in every situation and remain watchful, to react and respond to the signals that appear on the Radar screen as CPA (Closes Point of Approach).
The HOLY SPIRIT is like radar. The Holy Spirit convicts of sin, righteousness and judgment. (John 16:8-11). He guides us to the truth (John 16:13). He leads, helps, warns us when there is danger…CPA…warning us ahead of time and miles away for any obstacles in and around our lives.
The HOLY SPIRIT gives the power, the desire, and the earnestness to remain all the time on the right course. Therefore, we must open our hearts to the guidance of the Holy Spirit as radar searches our heart.

LOVE: Continue to love and be loved
LOVE: Continue to Love and be loved!
Last night, after a long and tiring day I had a great time browsing the old newsletter from our church and I’ve red this cool article from our Daddy Paul, here are some insights from the article selected from Wayfarers;
If I decorate my house perfectly with plaid bows,
Strands of twinkling lights and shiny balls
But do not show love to my family…
I am just another decorator.
If I slave away in the kitchen baking dozens of cookies
Preparing gourmet meals and arranging a beautifully decked table at meal time
But do not show love to my family…
I am just another cook.
If I work at the kitchen,
Carol in the nursing home and give all that I have to charity,
But do not show love to the family…
It profits me nothing.
Love stops the cooking to hug a child;
Love sets aside the decorating to kiss a husband.
Love is kind, despite being harried and tired.
Love doesn’t give only to those who are able to give in return,
But rejoices in giving to those who can’t.
Love bears, love believes, love hopes, love endures, love never fails.
You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.
As I finished reading the article I wasn’t aware that my tears running into my face. At the end of it all, I’ve realized that it feels so good when we continue to LOVE and be loved. (“,). EXPRESS YOUR LOVE TO OTHERS before it’s too late.

Understanding an Active Adult
Being an active adult refuses one to retire. What will they do with their time? Everyone matter.
For many active adults, life and their worth have always been linked to the amount of work they had achieved and oftentimes find themselves unsettled or deppressed with the "excess time" they have.
Granted that weary bones--or even incontinence--narrow the spectrum of activities to choose from, retirement a wonderful time to start a hobby--establishing partnership or working with active adults are somehow exciting and a wonderful experience.
As the saying--You can't teach old dog new tricks, think again---That active adults ages 60 and above may just be the 40 generations or less. Scientists used to think intellectually sooner peaked at age 40. Now they know better. Recent research confirms that the human brain retain an astonishing degree of plasticity and capacity for learning throughout life. But going for a sharper mind not only means catching up on one's reading. Depending on your current health.
Actually, working with these active adults are meaningful and unforgetable, beacause i've learned alot from them. There are many this i've learned from them and one of which is patience because they are moody many times and you need to extend and extend to the highest level your strand to understand them, emotionally challenge because you need to be more sensitive to their feelings and many more...maybe ill discuss it again to my next post, i need to go now to fetch my lovely wife and have a romantic lunch with her. Let's LOVE more the active adults around us, be happy and blessed.

Leadership: The Challenge
Leaderhip. Everyone experiences it, or the lack of it, in their daily lives. Those called to lead can find doing so a daunting task. Those expected to follow can experience frustration when their leader is unable to lead and their organization seems to be going nowhere. Struggling leaders may agonize in the knowledge that others resent them and blame them for their organizations failures. Countless discouraged leaders would probably quit their jobs today, but they need the income. Besides, they fear the same problems would engulf them in their new jobs. Discouraged, Christian leaders carry the added, albeit misguided, burden that they are failing not only their people but their Lord. They feel guilty because they lack the faith to move their organization forward yet the same fears prevent them from leaving their leadership positions for jobs where they might be more successful. Is there hope for the countless numbers of leaders who are not experiencing the fulfillment and reaching the potential God intended for them? If anything can revolutionize today's Christian leaders, it is when Christians understand God's design for spiritual leaders.
Our world craves good leaders. It would seem that effective leadership has become the panacea for every challenge society faces. Whether it's politics, religion, business, education, or law, the universally expressed need is for leaders who will rise to meet the challenges that seem to overwhelm many of today's organizations. The problem is not a shortage of willing leaders. The problem is an increasingly skeptical view among followers as to whether these people can truly lead. Warren Bennis warned, "At the heart of America is a vacuum into which self annointed saviors have rushed." People know intuitively that claiming to ba leader or holding leadership position does not make someone a leader. People are warily looking for leaders they can trust.
