Our ATN is a newsletter which
is both very interesting and entertaining. It is anti-aging.
Ug magsige ka ini ug basa, dili ka ma-tigulang. Or if you are already
tigulang, ma-bata ka. So our ATN means: Ang Tigulang Nabata!

a campus beauty at St. Paul College a few years back. She is
married to Orly Candari, a golden-voiced smart good looking Sillimanian

Special for my fellow Tanjayanons . . .
Your Cross
A young man dropped to
his knees in prayer. "Lord, I can't go on," he said. "I have too
heavy of a cross to bear."
The Lord replied, "My son, if
you can't bear its weight, just place your cross inside this room.
Then, open that other door and pick out any cross you wish."
The man was filled with relief
and said, "Thank you, Lord," and he did as he was told.
Upon entering the other door,
he saw many crosses - some so large the tops were not visible.
Then, he spotted a tiny cross leaning against a far wall. "I'd like
that one, Lord," he whispered.
And the Lord replied,
"My son, that is the cross you just brought in."
* * * *
When Life's problems seem overwhelming, it helps to look
around and see what other people are coping with. You may consider
yourself far more fortunate than you imagined.
Whatever your cross, whatever your pain, there will always
be sunshine after the rain. Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even
fall, but God is always there to help you through it all.
