truly, i say to you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber. but the shepherd of the sheep enters by the gate. the keeper opens the gate to him and the sheep hear his voice, he calls each of his sheep by anme and leads them out. - from john 10.1-10
the top of the classic-looking church of ivana town, batan island, in batanes looks very much like those of mexican pueblos. the church looks out to the balintang channel that divides the main island of batan to sabtang as if blessing the outgoing fishermen for a safe trip and the incoming fishermen for a good catch.
the prayer of jabez
oh that you will bless me indeed and enlarge my territory and that your hand will be upon me and that you will keep me from evil
