The Filipino Way part 2

The Filipino people amaze me over and over again. I just had breakfast at a hut that is built here on the campgrounds for one of the preachers that come and visit. We had eggs, sweet potatoes and of course rice. We also had chicken, one that had been roaming around the camp ground, and some dried fish. All of this was cooked on open flame inside the hut. The beds are just bamboo beds and the roof is made of grass. But it stays cool and dry and that is all that is really important.

The Filipino has very little as far as this world is concerned, yet they are very happy people. The children will laugh and play with whatever their imagination will allow them to. I have seen them have a great time with dirt, bugs. The other day, a group was having a great time with a dead frog! I think they are going to be doctors.

I was sitting in the church the other night when the lights went out. It was pitch black. All of a sudden the church lit up, not because the lights came back on but because everyone opened their cell phones and the lights from all the cell phones chased the darkness away. No, stoves, refrigerators or a shower but ALL THE ADULTS, have their cell phones and the main way of keeping in contact with one another? Text Messaging. Who knew?
