2009/01/02 How to Be Thankful in Tough Times by Rick Warren Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Philippians 4:6 (NLT) *** *** *** *** 1. Don’t worry about anything. Worrying doesn’t change anything. It’s stewing without doing. There’s no such thing as born worriers; worry is a learned response.

I'm going on a week-long vacation around various places Mindanao, to area that has suffered bombings, mortar and artillery attacks, IED's (Improvised Explosive Devices) planted under bridges, and even an earthquake recently. Sure feels good to get back home again. -RODION
