                    [Summary] => 

A gentle breeze was a nice prelude to a deep, restful sleep. It led me to dream of walking through an alley that was clean, bare and no wall graffiti, except for one that read: The hating must stop.

The decision to send the two young Americans to work with the Tboli people was reached after prayer and discussion with SIL Philippines director Dick Roe. Little did anyone know that the two would be launching one of the most productive language programs in the history of SIL Philippines.

The older generation, I’m sure, think of the  Muslim chieftain as the one who felled the colonialist circumnavigator Ferdinand Magellan. It was ironic that Lapu-Lapu and his warriors, carrying only  crude wooden arms, defeated Magellan’s invading battalion equipped with more modern weapons.
