Why Chiz has not yet made an announcement
 10/21/2009  5:34 PM EDT
Washington, DC, Oct 21, 2009 (Pinoy Global) - It has been nine days since
Oct. 10, when Sen. Chiz Escudero turned 40 and thus eligible to be
president of the Philippines. He had promised to officially announce his
presidential candidacy on that day, but the day came and went and no
announcement. The date for the formal announcement has been
postponed to Oct. 12, they said. That day came and still no announcement.
The new rumor is that he would do it on Monday.

Psalm 29 From the prayer desk of Rev. Deacon Gary
It is a Jewish custom that Boaz has to discuss the matter of marriage to his
relatives and at the town gate he cleverly presented his case to his older
brother.  First he brought in new information not yet mentioned in the
story. That Elimelech, Naomi's former husband, still had some property in
the area that was now for sale. As the nearest relative, this man had the
first right to buy the land, which he agreed to do.  But then Boaz said that
according to the law, if the relative bought the property he also had to
marry the widow of Elimelech's son (Ruth), who has the right to inherit the
property.

19:20  There are those with little understanding who fear God, and those
of great intelligence who violate the law. 19:25 One can tell a man by his
appearance; a wise man is known as such when first met. 19:26 A man's
attire, his hearty laughter and his gait proclaim him for what he is.
Reflections:  I know somebody who speaks well, but what he said, are
quotations from great minds speeches, nothing  coming from his heart.
Pinoy's will vote for a handsome person.
