Read "The Samson Syndrome:What You Can Learn From the Baddest Boy in the Bible" by Mark Atteberry - Are You Man Enough?

Can you learn from the life of an egotistic, immature playboy who wasted the talents, gifts and abilities that were given to him? Of course! Why then would God devote four chapters to the story of this man if there was nothing to learn from his life?

As I prepared sermons for more than ten years, I have had these thoughts about Samson in the book of Judges. I was surprised to read that Mark Atteberry, the author, had the same thoughts when he wrote “The Samson Syndrome: What You Can Learn From the Baddest Boy in the Bible”. This book, as I reviewed it, is a study of the life of Samson and it reveals twelve tendencies that he had which are also common to men of strength. Each tendency is explained as seen in the Bible character’s life, shown how they are each a common struggle for strong men. The best part is that helpful and realistic suggestions are provided for each predisposition.

Loom Summer Craft-Craze at SM City Bicutan

My family have been loom-bonding these past few weeks. Our 9 year old son is so into it too that he's thinking of going on a looming business. He's been busy since and have sold quite a bunch already. My wife and I are happy that he's going entrepreneurial at his age. :-)

I made the above loom band ladder bracelet accented with crystals for my wife last week. :-)

Gospel Bracelet (Triple Fishtail)

It took a while before my wife and I got hold of black loom bands and made this as soon as I got my hands on them. I made this for myself but it ended up on our son's wrist. He loved it. I just wore the fishtail gospel bracelet that I made for my wife. She just made gospel bracelet (flower power design). 

Our loom-loving family is joining SM Bicutan's Loom Summer Craft-Craze. This is happening from May 23 to 25 at SM Bicutan Building B Atrium at 4pm. Register and let's get our looming digits on. :-)
