In August, we sold our 100 year-old Detroit Jewel gas cooking stove. My dad bought it at a swap meet in 1972 and not quite knowing what to do with it, gave it to me. When I got it, it was little more than a rusted out hulk and a…
Put Your Hope In Christ (Not Christians)
Many years ago, I took up pottery. I got my wheel, clay, and whatever tools were required to join the class. We made different projects. However, even after some time and many projects, my works were still nothing like my teacher’s. My output as a potter was not a reflection of how great a potter my…
An Article on the National Daily
Since 2004 when an Asian Institute of Management panel (for the thesis defense of the Business student, Marian Balcos, who studied to improve my business) declared that the only remaining agenda my business needs is “yabang (slang for ‘marketing’)” but I didn’t have a budget for it, I surrendered this to the Lord and He…

That was close to twenty years ago. Fast forward to 2015, Luisa Reyes-Ampil is author of her first OMF-published book, What…
One Day There Will Be No Tomorrow
In my harried, hurried week, I had been getting several proddings to call Jing Egenias to ask how she is. Each time I wanted to, I told myself I will call her when I get to see how many reads her story got so that she would have a better than vague idea that many…
