CHRISTIANS

By Maya Angelou

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'.
I'm whispering "I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven."

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And need His strength to carry on.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, somehow.

Christians do not think they are perfect or better than others.
They know they are not.

WOMEN Growing OLD

A friend e-mailed me this, and i made it a point to share the wisdom of my friend's message:

In April, Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday. Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older.

And, there on television, she said it was "exciting."

Regarding body changes, she said there were many, occurring everyday...like her breasts. They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her waist first.

The audience laughed so hard they cried.

She is such a simple and honest woman, with so much wisdom in her words!

Maya Angelou said this: "I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it willbe better tomorrow."

"I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights


"I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life."

"I've learned that making a 'living' is not thesame thing as 'making a life'.

"I've learned that life sometimes gives you asecond chance."

"I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw somethings back."

"I've learned that whenever I decide somethingwith an open heart, I usually make the right decision."

"I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one."

"I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone."

"People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back."

"I've learned that I still have a lot to learn"

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

Please send this to five phenomenal people today. If you do, something good will happen: You will boost another person's self-esteem

If you don't...the elastic will break and your underpants will fall down around your ankles!

c",)
Believe me, I didn't take any chances on MY elastic breaking... I sent it to a lot of special people I care for.

Call of Faith

To all out there!

Truly God looks every heart of us... knows the deepest desire of our heart.. He hears prayers!

I was so blessed when I read this

Act 16:31 – 32
“ Believe in the Lord Jesus,

and you will be saved
– you and your family!

God Truly loves each of us... no one will be harm.. He protects us as wella s our family

Lets continue pray each other.. lets try to be light and salt of the world.. for this is the only thing we can do for His goodness!

Hope you are all blessed in this.

God Bless each of us.. our family... Filipino families!

In Christ,
Joyce

ASAP Tagudin

The Foundation of Tagudin

The Augustine chapter of January 5, 1586 accepted the convent of Tagudin as a house of the order. San Augustin adds that it had San Christobal de Bangar for a visita and that no prior was named until the next chapter. Father Juan de Hererra was named prior in the chapter of April 15, 1587. Jorde states erroneously that the first minister was Father Matias Manrique who was appointed in 1591.In 1590, the convent was asked to contribute an annual rent of 14 pesos to San Augustine Monastery. The catalog of 1591 does not make mentioned of Tagudin, the Estado of 1612, however, indicates that Tagudin had one convent with two priests attending to 1,000 tributos or 3,000 souls. In 1639, the prior of Tagudin donated two bells weighing seven arrobas and seven libras (80 kg. 220 gm) for the campaign of Governor Sebastian Hortado de Corcuera against the Dutch who were threatening to invade.

Bio-Energy NL, Inc.



COMPANY PROFILE

INTRODUCTION
As a result of the global environmental concerns, the need to develop alternative sources of energy has been a major interest and research worldwide.

In the Philippines, energy shortage is a major risk in the near future and automobile pollutants have tremendously increased. Recognizing the need to develop a cleaner alternative source of energy, the government supported the use of coconut as a biodiesel or more popularly known as “CME”. With the recent passage of Biofuel Act, the demand for bio-energy crops such as coconut for the use of bio-fuel and alcogas products in vehicles has tremendously increased. However, coconut development continues to lag behind due to a limited source from only a few coconut producing regions and very limited CME plants found in the Philippines.

HISTORY
Realizing that the tobacco industry is already a thing of the past, visionary leaders from the North dreamt of restoring the agricultural height in the Ilocos region. With the development of coconut as an exportable coco methyl esters (CME), they thought that the coconut industry may thrive and flourish in the North as a feasible, economic, viable and sound investment.

In 2005, a group of dedicated businessmen and CME advocates through the guidance of said Ilocano leaders, organized the Bio-Energy NL Inc. also known as BENLINC with a remarkable outstanding capitalization in the amount of Sixty Five Million Pesos (P65,000,000.00).

The coconut development project spearheaded by BENLINC is the first, and the pilot coconut program in the north covering the provinces of Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, Cagayan and Aurora.

Nevertheless, the procurement activities will cover all coconut-growing areas in Northern Luzon, outlying islands in southern Luzon and the Visayas

COMPANY PROFILE
Bio-Energy NL Inc. otherwise known as “BENLINC” is a duly organized company existing under the laws of the Philippines which aims to develop the coconut industry in the northern part of the Philippines. It is composed of local leaders and businessmen mostly from the north who has been united by one and noble vision –to revive the coconut industry in the Ilocos region to be able to produce exportable coco methyl esters (CME) as well as to meet local demands.

BENLINC envisions to develop more than one million hectares over a ten-year period in ten provinces in the Ilocos Region by utilizing surplus rural labor and vast underdeveloped land resources into coconut and other bio-energy crops. The Philippine Coconut Authority together with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources have recognized and given their support to BENLINC.

BENLINC has developed a coconut-based bio-energy development program to serve as a blueprint to realize its objectives.

It has the following three (3) components:
Pilot coconut-based bio-energy development in priority areas including infrastructure and support services;
Pilot procurement, processing and export market development;
Project management and implementation support system.

OUR VISION, STRATEGY, VALUES AND CHALLENGES

OUR VISION
Our vision is to promote the use of coconut as bio-diesel and as an alternative source of energy not only in the Philippines but all over the world.

Our environment is threatened by automobile pollutants, and we need clean fuel to preserve our degenerating atmosphere.

We want to develop the North as a CME-producing hub that will cater the energy demands, locally and internationally.

It means that we want to develop an exportable quality of CME, and at the same time uplift the economic lives of the labor resources in the North.

We also want to promote the coconut’s eligibility for reforestation, and to promote its by-products for local and international consumption.

OUR STRATEGY
We dream of building the North as a prime CME producing center in the Philippines. With the support of the government and other international financing institutions, we desire to provide the best quality of coco-bio-diesel not only in the Philippines and conquer the world market through world-class service, creative marketing and cost efficient benefits. We hope to better the lives of individual and cooperative farmers in the North, and utilize our vast forest lands for the development of the coconut industry in the region.

We dream to build a bountiful and blessed northern Philippines. We hope to realize the dreams and aspirations of our marginalized farmers. We want to build a better and brighter future for the generation yet to come.

Finally, we are passionate in making a better and clean Philippines.

OUR VALUES
Our identity describes our present, and our future.
We believe in the core values of a progressive and reputable company:

COMMITMENT
We are committed to a higher cause- of building lives, realizing dreams and developing a region and country.

PASSION
We have a united and undivided heart to pursue the vision of our company

INTEGRITYWe do as we promised we will do

EXCELLENCE
We work an extra mile yet provide the best and quality service

TEAMWORK
We move as part of one body

OUR CHALLENGES
We will disprove the common perception that the Northern Philippines is not ideal for coconut plantation since it is always ravaged by typhoon and other calamities.

We will be able to convince and persuade the farmers and aspiring workers that the vast idle hectarage of lands is suitable and viable for coconut plantation.

We will be able to conquer all obstacles, and go beyond them. Our vision will hold us true to our ideals, and we will remain steadfast to our calling-building lives, realizing dreams and making a better and clean Philippines.
