Ang Batang Agila (The Eaglette)

by: Stephen Buslon

May isang sisiw na agila. Maliit, mahina, at walang kakayahang mabuhay mag-isa. Siya ay isinilang sa isang mundong mapanganib. Ngunit sa tulong ng kanyang magulang at ng mga agilang mas matanda sa kanya, siya ay natuto ng maraming bagay. Sapagkat siya ay isang sisiw pa lang, hindi siya marunong kumuha ng kanyang sariling pagkain kaya ito ay binibigay sa kanya ng kanyang mga magulang.

Just as I Am

When I was in Bible College, our Music Instructor assigned us to study one hymn and teach it to our classmates the next week. I come across this hymn, and it has been my favorite ever since. I am so humbled to sing this for our Lord Jesus Christ. He loved us for what we are and even died to imply His everlasting love towards us.

Cat Years, The

by Adair Lara

I just realized that while children are dogs - loyal and affectionate - teen-agers are cats. It's so easy to be a dog owner. You feed it, train it, boss it around.

Fullness of Time, The

by: Dorothy Valcàrcel

Has there been a time in your life when you felt so empty you thought God had forgotten you existed? You wondered if He forgot where you lived.

Now I Sit Me Down

This poem is written by a kid somewhere in Boston. I think he has this strange idea of the government banning the name of God being mentioned in school or even the possession of the Holy Bible or praying along the hallway.

There was once a bridge which spanned a large river. During most of the day the bridge sat with its length running up and down the river paralleled with the banks, allowing ships to pass thru freely on both sides of the bridge.
