In the Bible, we learn that God hates divorce. However, because of our stubbornness, unruliness, and disobedience, divorce was permitted during the time of Moses. In an ideal society, a happy married couple produces secure and loving children. These children, feeling secure and loved, are better equipped to love others and contribute positively to their communities. A healthy family mindset fosters stronger, more resilient communities. Matthew 19:8–9 (NIV): Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.” Mark 10:11–12 (NIV): He answered, “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.” 1 Corinthians 7:10–11 (NIV): “To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lor

  In a world that never seems to slow down, I find a special kind of peace in the company of old souls. The warm, welcoming atmosphere of a gathering with the members of the Makati Garden Club felt like a comforting hug, soothing my weary spirit. One lovely lady, with a twinkle in her eye, looked at me and said, “You are so pretty, why are you hanging out with us?” Her sweet words touched me deeply, especially as I heal from a broken spirit. I smiled and replied, “You’re my kind of people.” The charm and elegance in the room were mesmerizing. The ladies, with their coiffed and stylish hair, reminded me of Jackie Onassis and Audrey Hepburn. It takes real character and style to wear your hair like that. The room was filled with extraordinary men and women, all so humble and wise. And the outfits too! Talking with people older than me is like unlocking a treasure chest of stories and experiences. They spoke of their vast book collections, the excitement of book auctions, and the joy of

 Hope for the World Foundation isn’t just changing lives — it’s rocking them to the core! I magine a group of volunteers from all walks of life, getting together in sunny California, not too far from West Covina, to make a massive impact. We’re talking about millions of lives touched, especially in places like Palawan in the Philippines and Mexico. Lourdes Duque Baron , an award-winning author, actress, singer, film producer, and husband Dr. Robinson Baron , who’s like a Jedi master of robotic surgery, and Michael Gavrizescu , the lead singer and guitarist of Burning Red, a total rockstar all join forces to create perfect synergy for one of the biggest medical missions to happen this 2024. It was only last year when 325 residents of Bataraza Palawan benefitted greatly from the previous medical mission initiated by Dr. Robinson Baron in partnership with Rio Tuba Nickel Mining Corporation ( RTNMC) and Coral Bay Nickel Corporation (CNBC), together with Manila Adventist Hospital and Hope f

  I recently reconnected with Richard Pines, a remarkable young man whose growth and humility left me astounded. Richard, at such a tender age, has risen to become the CEO of his own company, catering to clients both in the U.S. and Singapore. Our conversation took an unexpected turn when he posed a profound question: "How do you retain integrity in your Christian life, and embody Jesus Christ as you climb the corporate ladder?" This question struck a chord with me, as it resonates deeply with the challenges many of us face in today's business world. How do we uphold our values and dignity amidst the pressures to conform? How do we maintain authenticity in our relationships with business partners and employees without compromising our boundaries? Richard's journey embodies the pursuit of these ideals. His ability to absorb information surpasses many, a trait noticed by his mentors who believe in his potential to make a significant impact. Despite the inevitable ups a

  Being an indie artist, or an independent artist, comes with its unique set of challenges and aspirations.

  Mackenyu Arata has taken the world of One Piece by storm as the new heartthrob for fans of the live-action adaptation on Netflix. Initially hesitant, I found myself drawn to this green-haired Japanese actor, despite having never watched the anime series due to its daunting length and my busy schedule. Having already completed series like "Good Girls" and "Gilmore Girls," Mackenyu's magnetic presence was impossible to ignore. A Stellar Cast: The casting for the One Piece live-action series is nothing short of spectacular. While it's essential not to draw direct comparisons to the anime, the selection of actors was spot-on. The chemistry among the cast members is palpable, and one standout favorite is Mackenyu Arata, who flawlessly embodies the skilled swordsman Roronoa Zoro. His portrayal captures the essence of a character that fans have eagerly championed. Aesthetic Appeal: Beyond his acting prowess, Mackenyu possesses a striking visual appeal. His presen
