so, then, anyone who hears these words of mine and acts accordingly is like a wise man, who built his house on rock. the rian poured, the rivers flooded, and the wind blew and struck that house, but it did not collapse because it was built on rocks. but anyone who hears these words of mine and does not act accordingly, is like a fool who built his house on sand. the rain poured, the rivers flooded, and the wind blew and struck that house; it collapsed, and what a terrible fall that was! - from matthew 7.21-27
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
