Week Past 03/26-04/01
Sat 03/31 a party was held at home for the March birthday celebrants of W's staff assigned at Regis. A small group. It was also a despedida of sort for a Regis' executive that W and her staff works with. He's resigning. Pics shows: Grace before meal. Dinner. It was pot luck. Then sing along with the Magic Mike. Filipino gathering won't be complete without it especially on a birthday party. Bottom pic a boxing match with Nintendo Wii.
Sun 04/01 is Palm Sunday. It's also April Fool's Day. I think it apt for those people who witnessed Jesus' triumphant entry. What made them become foolish on that fateful day that they had Jesus crucified. They glorified him at the beginning, Palm Sunday. Then deciding that Barabbas was more worthy to be "saved". Yet, what if they chose Barabbas to be crucified instead of Christ? They will not be called fools. Then what was meant to be will not be. The prophecy will not have come true. Then it was God's will. Just like those people, we will also commit "mistakes" in our life. Poor judgment, wrong choice. Maybe God wills it in order for us to learn and seek Him. Just like Peter who denied Christ not once but three times. Christ told him so. And yet because of this he became remorseful that in the end he offered his life in Christ's service. So did some of those people who "voted" to crucify Christ. When they realized their mistake about three to five thousand were converted. Perhaps some became martyrs.
