Greed

Greed ~ by john b. bejo

 

I have bowls of rice
Enough for the many
But never enough for the greedy...

( This is an old Igorot saying I heard from a priest, which I translated into English )

Opportunity

Alive

Alive ~ by john b. bejo

Let's demonstrate our love
in action
while they are still alive,
not through flowers
and loud lamentation
after they're gone.

Equation

“Life is a simple equation
We become what we see or speak or touch.
Seek forgiveness, and forgiveness will heal you.
Seek love, and the world will embrace you…”

Everyone Is

 

written by john b. bejoNobody has the monopoly of the Kingdom of God.
Everyone is a client.
Everyone is an agent.
Everyone is a manager, a supervisor and an investor in the Kingdom of God.
