What a hillarious new series! After watching the pilot episode last night, I know I’m hooked! A story about a guy who thinks he’s being punished for the bad things that he had done before and wants to make up for each one. I’m sure to continue watching it every Tuesday at @ 9:00 PM. You can check it out at: http://www.nbc.com/My_Name_Is_Earl/

Sorry Amazing Race, you lost a viewer with your lame “Family Edition” version!

Well, yes, it is my birthday. And it’s not just another year. This year, I officially left the 20′s!

Looking back, I could not ask for more. With God, my wife, parents, family & friends in my life, I have it all! As my wife always teases me, “The Joy Of Being Rhoy”. Oh yeah, and I don’t argue with her. I got joy in my heart for the life that I have lived. I never regret anything that I have done, good or bad, as these things made me a better person. I have repented of those bad things and praise God for forgiving me. He’s been faithful.

Thanks to everyone who share this joyous day with me. God Bless!

Do you believe that God knows what His people want even before they asked for it? It may sound cliche when I say that God is a gracious all-knowing and all-powerful God and ,of course, He is capable in doing it. This week, I personally had the experience of receiving God’s grace even before I asked.

You see, sometime ago last year, I went to my bank to apply for a low-interest credit card. Since I was a staff member, the financial officer told me that I’m also allowed to get a personal line of credit with a very low interest rate. At the time, I just said, whatever. I don’t really need it, but if I can get it, might as well. I totally forgotten about it, meaning, never used it.

But this week, me and my wife Tin were faced with a dilema. We decided that we are going to get a car. So get a car we did. I went to the dealer and tried to get financing from them. Unfortunately, I bought a used car and the interest rate was just crazy. It was not what I expected, to say the least. I went home & told Tin about the incident. We prayed to God for guidance & help for this financial problem that we are currently facing. The next morning, while I was checking the rates for car loans on different banks, I noticed something on my online banking page: PERSONAL LINE OF CREDIT! It goes on to say that you can buy an RV, repair a house or even pay for your new car. Then it hit me. God did answer our prayer long before we even asked Him.

How about you? Have you asked God for something recently? Well, don’t sweat it. If it is His will, He already gave you the answer!

Praise the Lord for His goodness! AMEN!

Lately, I have been struggling inside trying to figure out what part am I supposed to play in God’s ministry here on earth. What if I’m a leg that is trying to be an arm? Or an arm that is trying to be a leg? I didn’t know what the answer, until today.

Playing “Wonderful Cross” on my old but reliable Godin guitar, tears started streaming down my face. I love playing guitar and God made me sound good at it. At least to my ears. You see, I’ve been wanting to play bass guitar because I think it was cool. But now that I’m playing bass, I started to miss playing guitar. While in my state of emotion, my wife came in and ask me what was happenning. After I told her what I was feeling, she told me that God wants me to be where God needs me. And it struck me. Maybe it’s not a permanent part that we are playing here on earth. It’s a dynamic thing. Later today, as supposed to playing bass, I landed the part of playing acoustic guitar for the Sunday service. It was a wonderful experience!

Would it have been different if I think that I should be playing bass or lead guitar? This I know, God wanted me to play acoustic guitar because he wanted me to. And that is more than enough for me …
