Yes. I am still alive. News of my disappearance are greatly exaggerated.
I know I haven't been able to update this page for about two weeks. Believe me. I wanted to but something was eating every minute of my time.
In the church where I pastor, I have been chosen together with my wife and other people to edit the LEGACY BOOK - a three volume book featuring the history and the future of WORD FOR THE WORLD. It's been about two weeks since we put our creative minds for the concept and design of the prodcut. And we just finished it all yesterday (Friday - October 24). Though it was very tiring with sleepless nights and deprived weekends, it was a very enriching experience. I think it all my creative juices have been sucked dry. I need to recharge. But, frankly, with all humility, it is the best design work I have done. I mean who else can actually say that they created a book from scratch. I am thankful to God for all his supernatural strength He has given us. We're excited for its release.
Tomorrow (October 26), I will be having a talk with the wonderful employees of McDonalds at The Fort. On Monday (October 27), I will be preaching at the HOLY WIN activity of the WWCF Ruggednoise Youth Ministry. It's their alternative Halloween event which is a good thing.
I'm looking forward to some time off in the next few weeks. My body and soul needs a break.
Until then, God bless!

SO FAR SO GOOD
I've spent the day fixing the template. Boy! Does it look good. I'm just editing a template I downloaded for FREE. Why complicate things, right?
I guess the site will be OFFICIALLY up in a few days. What I mean is the COMPLETE website.
Gotta rest. Big day tomorrow.

CREEPING BACK
After a long hiatus, I am slowly creeping back to the rodneygarcia.com website. Somehow, I have found the inspiration to write again and bring back the passion to blog. Maybe it's because I've been exposing myself to writing. Perhaps, it could be that the books I read push me to be better. Whatever the reason may be, I am training myself to return to blogging.
I am making the site template more delectable to my taste. I hope it will appeal to you too.
More updates soon. Until then, God bless!

AWAITING MY RETURN
I am days away from my return. I have had a very fruitful three months of rest. I say fruitful because I have learned a great deal about myself, my future, my relationship with God and with the people around me. It is not easy going through a very tough trial in my life. All of us do undergo trials. But, somehow, every trial is custom-made for every individual. These custom-made trials are put into our lives to bring out the custom-made character and abilities God has ingrained in our lives. For these past few months, I believe God has brought out these custom-made traits out of me.
In commemoration of my return, I published a little countdown widget with the title "THE RETURN" on it. It's not for you but it's for me. It's because I want to be reminded and be excited for my return.
I will be posting more often in the days to come about my thoughts on this exciting phase of my life.
Thanks and God bless!

THE RETURN OF THE SCHOOLBUS, AWESOME Q EXAM SCORES AND WEBSITE OPINIONS
It is OFFICIAL: The Schoolbus has returned. Yes. My son is back to school. It resumes today and that makes me also return to my "bring-to-school/fetch-from-school" duties. Not to mention my tutoring him in his various school subjects. Although my Monday day-off isn't anymore applicable, I do enjoy being part of my son's academic life. I'm sure when he gets older, he'll have his own set of friends and his own trips to go to. So I'm enjoying it while it lasts.
Rafa received his test scores from his 3rd Quarter Exams. May I say that they are superb. His lowest was Filipino. But all in all, he has the potential to receive another award this quarter. Way to go!
I was very blessed to have been asked to participate in a survey. I've been asked to check out this website someone is building for a famous multi-national company. A good friend of mine referred me to Laica who was in charge of the project.
So wearing my Australia shirt (a gift from my wife when she was there), my denim shorts and my slippers (remember I'm suppose to be on day-off), I went to this fabulous and professional office just a 5-minute walk away from church. Finally, I met Laica- a very energetic and bubbly person.
I spent about an hour in that office checking out the site. On the side, Laica and I would exchange stories about our faith and the different experiences we face. She mentioned something about people having different opinions about the site. Somehow, I went on a rampage in finding the different things to edit on the site. Forgive me but I was asked to critique it. But it was done in good taste.
As a token of appreciation, I was given gift certificates to StarBucks coffee which I gave to my wife as a surprise. I guess I'll be sipping some coffee soon. Thanks Laica.
That's it for now. God bless.
NOTE:
I'll be taking some extra steps on making this blog a little more personal. The look may change in the next few days so watch out.

FULL SUNDAY
What a Sunday! Talk about a full day. Let me run it down.
8AM - Worship Service
Wonderful service. Bro. Louie Barretto preached a wonderful and powerful sermon today. It has spoken to a lot of people today including me. We do need not only pray and do all the talking but we need to do more listening. That's the problem with us. We don't take the time to listen to what God has to say. For the year 2007, I propose that we should take time and really seek God's voice.
11AM - Groceries at Landmark
The Landmark (located in Makati) has affordable items and, in my opinion, the most complete supermarket in town. I've been to different supermarkets but I usually end up lacking on some important items. But the Landmark never fails.
12PM - Rafa and I had a haircut
It's about time we got to have our haircut. Time to look human again.
2PM - Caitlyn's Birthday
The daughter of our beloved friend, Sharon, Caitlyn celebrated her 1st birthday today in Laguna. It was a great party. The party host did an awesome job. Imagine this. He's the host, game master, magician and puppeteer. All in one package. Not to mention, a endless supply of ICE CREAM (There's always room for ICE CREAM).
6PM - Festival Mall
We bought this grill that you put over your stove so you can cook hotdogs in one side and porkchops in the other. Once I got home, I cleaned the grill and cooked hotdogs, eggs and even toasted two slices of bread. Not bad. I'm hoping to wake up early and cook some breakfast.
10:26PM - Typing my blog
Uhm... I think this is what I'm doing now. Blogging is somehow relaxing because I get to type my thoughts. I type faster than I write (and I don't really have good handwriting when I'm in a hurry). That's why I'd rather type my sermon than write it.
Blogging is starting to be a good habit. It's fun.
That's it for now. God bless.
