teaches you how not to take anything for granted

DO NOT JUDGE OTHERS

Much had been said about the circumstances leading to the death of Trinidad Failon, wife of Ted Failon, a popular news anchor of ABS CBN and formerly a congressman. Most have been quick to judge without regard for the children of the couple. Some even said that they will just apologize later if he is absolved, you think this apology would be enough after he had been hung in public?


“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” – Matthew 7:1-2

requested by chuvaness

i read chuvaness.com EACH day, her sense of style is uncommon here in the philippines, most especially in metro manila where the women tend to dress like clones of the models from the fashion magazines. she can go from high end to low end at the same time, from discussing foreign fashion to sarah geronimo. this month she among with ingrid chua-go and daphne osena paez are being featured as style icon of samsung.

the following was taken from her blog....

compare with my previous post

I was ranting on my previous post, in fact, I was crying earlier because of the perceive "loss" that i fear i will suffer.... hence i made that post entitled "careless". Immediately after posting that, i opened my friend rayri's email, and this is what i got.... truly, it makes one question what is important? material wealth, personal glory, or the life of another person? clearly, there is no contest....

"The very real human consequences that can result from driving while 'InTEXTicated'.

An 18-year-old girl plowed directly into the rear of another vehicle. She was going 70 mph. She apparently never even saw them. You see, she had been texting on her Cell Phone at the time.

You can see that she hit them dead-center with no attempt to slow or evade the collision.

She hit dead-center on her 2008 Yukon SUV as well. She escaped unharmed.

There was no blowout, no wet road, no curve or hill or fog to limit visibility. This girl clearly should have been able to see the traffic conditions at least a half mile ahead, had she been looking and not texting. She very nearly killed a beautiful 3-year-old child.

Here's a personal look at the real human cost of texting while driving:

Griffin before the accident.

Griffen the day after 4 hours of surgery to repair multiple skull fractures. He would surely have died or been severely disabled had they not been minutes away (by StarFlight helicopter) from Austin's world-class Dell Children's Medical Center and neurosurgeon Dr. Timothy George.

Day 4 - watching a movie on his Dad's iPhone.
The swelling of his head will go away, but that scar from ear-to-ear will be with him forever.

Feeling better. Mmmmm - Mac-n-Cheese. :-)

Day 5 - feeling much better. My granddad bought me my very own iPod and loaded it with movies.

Life is Good.

This morning. All my tubes are finally out. I'm going home today!
Note how much the swelling has improved in just three days.

It's almost unbelievable that it's been only five days since the accident that nearly claimed his life.

All the medical experts involved expect him to make a full recovery.
Pretty soon he'll be all healed up and back to normal - thank the Lord!
In only six weeks he'll be allowed to be just as active as any other 3-year-old.

Phone company records of text messages are irrefutable and accurate to the second; so it would be an easy matter to prove in court that a person was texting at the time of an accident. As with drunken driving, a jail sentence (no matter the driver's age) will be mandatory (Legislation is Pending in many States, including Texas ) whenever anyone is injured by an "InTEXTicated" driver.

I encourage you to forward this email to all your friends. We must try to stop 'Driving While InTEXTicated' before more innocent people are maimed or killed."

now, there are a lot of things i am thankful for, my family, good health, our freedom to worship the Lord and practice our faith without persecution....

careless

i have led a pretty comfortable life. there were times however that i wondered what if all of these are taken away? it's so easy, even the random act of a stranger can change the course of your life, mine did, it happened four years ago but now it's trying to take what i hold dear (materially speaking....that is)

i am emotionally battered... i rely on the Lord's assurances and presence and my husband's and family's support....
