Insightful Moments - Part 2

October 25 – 30. Seattle and Tacoma

Stayed with Mark and Monika, with their two sons. Had a taste of german cuisine and polish hospitality.



Taylor accompanied me to view Seattle from “the Pin” and then to the science museum where “the dead sea scroll” was on exhibit.

Went to spend “an evening with Joel Osteen” with Mike’s family.


Drove by myself to Silverdale to visit Don Fortune and his family - a long time college friend at UPLB and SVCF.



Spent a day with Mike’s and Dave Norman’s family in Northwest Trek where we saw all the animals indigenous to the place.

Then went to Mount Rainier where we had snow in all its forms, and for a moment,


the sun was out enabling us to see some of the mountain peaks.







Insight: Christianity respects and celebrates the best of all cultures. Our God advocates for a worldview and practice that merges somehow the international nature of the church and the diversity of culture that it seeks to honor without allowing the “control” of a dominant culture. Such merger is likened to a dance – where the music changes constantly allowing for the diversity of steps, tempo and rhythm.


October 30 – November 1. Las Vegas
Hosted by Keren – visited Hoover Dam and lake Mead; drove through the strip at night; saw Las Vegas at night from Stratosphere; intrigued by the wedding chapel signage;

marveled at the dancing fountain of Beladio , and watched the world renowned – Cirque Solei show “KA”


Met with Kuya Del his daughter’s family – Aileen.


Had dinner with my niece Maricris, her daughter Ramona and Ate Beth





Insight: Money, money, money… it is everywhere but in my pocket! But when I need it, there it is!
