The most recent statistics show that mortality rates in the world remain 100 percent. Several loved ones including my Mom and childhood friends have closed their age. It’s foolish to be unprepared for what we all know is inevitable: Death. You’re not guaranteed another minute on this planet, much less another hour. Don’t put off the most important choice you’ll ever make. That’s about as clear as you can get. If you have Jesus, you have life -- because He has conquered death and is risen -- if you are part of His Mystical Body, one day you will rise with Him (the Paschal Mystery). That's the Good News (Gospel) of Jesus Christ. If you don’t have Jesus, you do not have life. You have a choice. You won’t go to heaven because of someone else’s faith. And, at the same time, you’ll never go to hell because of someone else’s choice. It’s your choice! You decide where you’ll spend eternity.
Among numerous 5W-and-H (what, when, where, who, why, and how) questions, people ask me what I do outside work & statistics. Hence, this is my answer: to refer people to Lord Jesus (hence, don't seek me).
Lord Jesus is the One who has done all the good-true-beautiful things in my life. Everything is a Gift & Grace from God -- we own nothing -- To those who have been nagging repeatedly & unrealistically asking/expecting me to do their tasks like a super genie, stop it. If you want anything, just ask Lord Jesus -- don't ask me -- Am I your god?! Hence, my function here is just as a Witness of His Glory. For example, in a traffic accident, the function of a witness is just witnessing that a blue car hit a red car. That's it and nothing more.
Hence, I would like to make it crystal clear: if you come to me, with the wrong motives, and ultimately for Utilitarian Purpose, leave now. I don't have much to offer you other than witnessing the Gospel of Jesus Christ (for the benefits of many souls) -- by unpacking the TRUTH of Life (pointing you to my Lord Jesus; sharing the posted materials on this site, so that you don't live a false life, non-purposeful, and full of fear). This is why Pope Francis and Oprah Winfrey independently and consistently said that the kind of help which do not teach people to replicate, is not a real help because it is disabling you (instead of enabling you). By understanding the TRUTH, you will not easily be Deceived-Defeated-Destroyed (DDD) by the Devil's notorious Triple-D (DDD) scheme (aka, to Steal-Kill-Destroy), which will ruin both your Earthly Life (function/purpose) and Eternal Destiny: Heaven or Hell.
Therefore, the purpose of this site is to share and unpack the Truth of Live, Death, Judgement, Resurrection (in a word, Faith-and-Reason, who is God Himself; Fides et Ratio 1), for the benefits of many other souls -- which not merely Sola-Scriptura based, but also on 3-pillar gifts: Kerygma (Lk 4:18-19; Rm 10:14: Mt 3:1-2), Theosis, and Magisterium. Ultimately, a call to Sainthood or Holiness [aka, Purification or Virtues] and Evangelism so that people will also know and love Lord Jesus Christ and ultimately able to enter Heaven; and/or to 'nurture-and-care' for the faith of those who already accepted Lord Jesus (to become His Saints) -- to encourage you: not living in fear, but in God's truth, goodness, and beauty. Whatever you feed, will grow. If you feed the Truth, then truth will grow; if you feed trash/lies, then trash/lies will grow and eventually disable/conquer your life to become addicts. Choose & live the truth and the truth will set you free (Jn 8:32).
Pope Francis reminds us that every Christian has an obligation (duty) to accomplish: Evangelism (Matthew 28:16-20). To proclaim God to others, does not meant to "justify His existence" because even the devil knows God exists (James 2:19) but the devil is not going to Heaven (Matthew 25:41); nor, to reduce the Gospel to merely door-to-door marketing tasks (because faith cannot be forced; it's an Internal Journey). Instead, by a Living Witness to the joy of knowing Jesus Christ without talking too much. God is not the answer to an intellectual curiosity or to a commitment of the will, but an experience of love, called to become a story of love. The mystery of God is never exhausted; it is as immense as His love.

Not an Angel nor a Savior -- Hence, be realistic & manage your expectations. Even the 2 most resourceful King David reminded us that there is LIMIT in everything (Psalm 119:96) and his son, King Solomon warned us not to do EXTREMES (Ecclesiastes 7:18). Meaning, if you want to keep healthy relationships and conversations, you gotta understand there are boundaries and don't push people to do extremes for you. Else, people will shut down the gate of conversation and unable to help you long run.
Additionally, Rick Warren also pointed out that Healthy Relationship (whether spousal, siblings, neighbors, friends, coworkers, etc.) are based on TRUST (Proverbs 20:7); and Trust is based on TRUTH (Proverbs 28:23). No Truth, No Trust. No Trust, No [Healthy] Relationship. One might have arrangement but not [healthy] relationship.
That's why St. JP2 said justice comes before charity/love (i.e., don't talk about love/charity without first acting fairly/justly) because that's what the Lord requires us to do: 1) what is fair & just, 2) to love mercy, 3) to walk humbly with Him (Micah 6:8). Then all Healthy Relationships will be just a By-Product.
Dislike to be interrupted/bothered [selfishly chatting to me like a broken radio or stopping me] especially during Church worshipping, praying, or in the middle of thinking or working hard. Repeatedly. (Exactly as scary as what St Teresa of Avila saw: the Devil is doing everything to sabotage all that you do for Jesus; even at Church, wickedly starring at you, utilizing those non-serious believers/pastors as his channel of evil works!) -- I can definitely relate to Matt Fradd, Rick Warren, and Oprah who felt really ill-feel and numb dealing with such Very Draining People (VDP).

Those are contrary to what the world's evil advertisements spoon-fed and DDD many people and ultimately ruin their souls (by telling you to pursue the Triple-P or PPP: power-possession-passion/lust) -- opposite to what St John of the Cross wrote (1 John 2:16)

Like any other profession, it cannot be forced nor there is any short-cut mantra; you've got to love & be passionate about what you are doing. Else, there are zillions of hurdles, set-back, oppositions, naysayers, sacrifices, pains, sufferings, and self-denial ahead (in one word: self-discipline). Let alone, if you dislike it, Steve Jobs warned you will fail and quit. Oprah emphasized to do what you love -- because that's what keep you going. Don't piggy back me nor be my carbon copy. Don't ask me to obtain/maintain your agenda! Who are you kidding?! Ask the Lord, what is your life purpose for Him? He will direct your path.

Our productive lives on earth is very brief -- hence, don't we want to create legacy of our life contributions? The Bible stated 50 as the Retirement Age [Numbers 8:23-26]. Steve Jobs died at age 56. Glenn Gould (Bach's Pianist) died at age 50. Nowadays, the church defines age 60 as elderly and exempts them from fasting/abstinence and catechisms or RCIA classes for baptismal. Regardless stretching another 10 years/not, our productive lifetime is still very brief. We don't have much time to goof-off but to live a Purposed-Driven Life.
Additional consistency from the parables of the 10-Lantern Ladies in Matthew 25 and Building-Tower in Luke 14:28-30 clearly pointed out that we only have limited resource to do our Life Purpose.

It is my joy and delight with burning passion (Luke 24:32 - On the Road to Emmaus) to share the Truth of Live & Gospel here, for the benefits of many other souls. Indeed, it took Theologians, Holy Popes, and Great Saints caliber, in order to unfold those Mysteries of Faith and answer Life questions; and you can connect the dots by analogies. [Hence, for those insecure people, including but not limited to Pastors, Deacons, Clergies, relax, and no need to cover-up your false insecurities by misusing your power, punishing people who eagerly seek the Truth/Jesus and pushing them away from the church and from their faith. Yet, telling the remainder of us to bring our unbeliever friends to church -- Oprah Winfrey said that's only a Wishful Thinking -- not a Real Want/Desire. Do you truly think people are dumb?! Talk is cheap and actions speak louder than words! Be a Living Witness first, then automatically, your life would attract people to convert, just like JP2 life]. Periodically, materials will be added. So, stay in tune and happy digesting!
