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.

major parts of the Philippines. At this point, estimates from varying sources
are 140 people have been killed, several thousand are still missing and
hundreds of thousands have been displaced. News reports state that this
is the worst rainfall the country has seen in 40 years. The Philippine Daily
Inquirer reported that Ondoy's total rainfall was 410mm, while Hurricane
Katrina's was 380mm in New Orleans. Lack of an early warning system, and
the low-levels of governmental support and action, are all issues that
Americans can relate too.

neighboring provinces which span a total of approximately 1,200 square
miles were hit by a devastating typhoon which submerged 80% of the
region in waist-deep (20 feet deep in some areas) flood waters. According

Dear God,
I pray for fellow Filipinos, whose lives suffered the wrath of the last
typhoon. Please grant us courage, to face the long road to recovery;
give us enough grace, to accept Your will despite our huge losses;
sustain us with Your love that will protect us from further harm;
and guide us, that the way to You remains, despite the sadness and
desperation that surround us. This disaster destroyed our possessions;
took so many precious lives; and has now created a serious challenge
for my home country to overcome...
but nothing can ever take away, nor ever destroy,our FAITH.
Where there is faith...there is hope.
We entrust ourselves into Your Hands, Lord.

SACRAMENTO, CALIF., Oct 14 (PinoyGlobal) - In my May 27, 2009 column,
“Gloria’s Gambit,” I asked: “Would De Castro kowtow to Gloria? If he does,
he will be taking a great risk of losing his base of support because Gloria’s
‘anointment’ might turn out to be a ‘kiss of death’ which could put an end to
his political life.” I was right. De Castro turned down Gloria’s “anointment”
and his reason was that it would be a “kiss of death.” Bingo!

Ruth has long been a favorite of Bible readers because of its powerful story
of fidelity and trust.Its location in the Christian canon, between Judges and
1 Samuel, is probably a function of 4:16-22.
The following facts are noteworthy to remember:
1) The story demonstrates a remarkable bond between women confronting
tragic circumstances.
2) It shows the fidelity of a Moabite woman (Ruth) to her widowed Israelite
mother-in-law.
3) It illustrate that the community of Israel offers a welcoming embrace to
outsiders.(1:16-17)
4) It is the story that reminds us always to value fidelity to family and God,
even during times of great personal duress.

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.
