Our soul was refreshed and attitudes amplified. Assured that we can be still, because God is in control

 
 

Still tired and recovering from the aftermath of our Milenyo or Xangsane experience, my family went to Cathedral of Praise to worship.
 
The chorus of one of the songs still ring to my ears:
 

“When the oceans rise and thunders roar I will soar with you above the storm

True indeed, year in and year out, typhoons will come and go. Furthermore, the Philippines is not only seated in the regular path of typhoons, but in the ring of fire wherein the island is prone to volcanic eruptions and earthquake. Should this situation change our principles and value system?
