To blog or not to blog?

First, I congratulate Kalli's Mom and LA, and Leo (who probably is another conceptualizer) for this excellent work of providing our family a web-base venue and forum for sharing - from pictures, ideas, advocacies, faith matters and general interests. Political talk, though a part of everyday life, is allowed but might not fit in well with the concept and purpose behind this blog page - which is the welfare and upliftment of each clan-member's status in life, and his and her deeper conversion to the faith and salvation.

Personally, I believe that the matter on deeper conversion and salvation should be a top priority among ourselves because in the end, we would like to see each and every clan-member in heaven.

Our Christian faith unequivocally teaches that we all live and exist on this earth, not really for ourselves, but for others - blood relations included, of course.

Second, please note that this page has been brought about due to the need to up our Loilo Yahoogroup email a notch or level higher, and to be in-tune with the ever-changing world of the internet.

Third, this page hopes to reach out, though the web, to blood relatives outside the Loilo Yahoogroup, in the hope that they too may have a thing or two to share with us.

Fourth, this page hopes to bring out the best in each of the clan members, to highlight and showcase each and everyone's ability and strenght.

Fifth, this page hopes to foster family ties and bonds since we all are called to love one another.

Every now and then, we expect disagreements amongst family members but that's OK. What is important is that we all have a health respect for each and everyone's beliefs. Whatever it is, we should always subordinate our opinions to the higher cause of strenghtening family bonds amongst ourselves.

Easter is just a few days away and what an opportunity it is to pause and ask for God's mercy and think about family.
