Talk 1: TreasureAre You Caught in the Rat Race?

BAD NEWS: No one wins the rat race.

Because everyone ends up looking like a rat.

No matter how cute Mickey Mouse is, I dont want to look like one.

American author and philosopher Henry David Thoreau said, The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.

Friend, are you sick and tired of the complicat-ed, knotty, and discombobulating life youre living? Are you sick and tired of the crazy chaos happening around you? And are you sick and tired of the noise inside you?

Are you sick and tired of the endless payments you must make, for stu that youve already used and now need to be replaced? (Aaaaarrrrrrgh!)

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired?Do you desire peace? Contentment? Simplicity?

My message to you: God did not make you a rat.

Get o the Rat Race, whatever the Rat Race means to you.

No, Im not telling you to resign from your job.

Instead, get o the Race that youre racing inside you.

Im telling you to examine all the races --projects, goals, ambitions, addictions, obsessions-- that you feel youre in right now, and ask yourself, Why did I join this race? Should I be in it?

The race to please certain people.The race to have a certain number of toys.

The race to achieve a specic denition of success.

Friend, welcome to The Simple Life. I know it will be a powerful life-changing experience for your life. Open up your heart to Him!

Im praying it will be a miraculous teaching for you.Please turn to page 2

Talk 2: TimeAvoid Burnout Before It Happens

I KNOW burnout from personal experience.

It cost me my health, my relationships, the vibrancy of my faith, and the happiness of my work. But everywhere I look now, I see burnout in so many people around me. Its the new epidemic.

MERS is nothing compared to this soul-killing disease. Why is burnout spreading like wildre?

Because its fashionable.

Because its cool when youre extremely busy. Because its rewarded. Your boss will praise you when he sees you burning the two ends of the candle. (Do you know how bosses reward workaholics? With more work!)

Today, I stay clear from burnout by watching for the signs that I had during that dicult season of my life. See if you have any of them:

I was always tired. Even after waking up in the morning after supposedly a good nights rest, I wake up already exhausted. I dreaded to go to the oce.

I became depressed. Many times, I felt helpless at the dicul-ties and conicts that I was facing at work. I doubted myself so much. I lost condence and wondered what in the world was I doing in my job. I wanted out. I was more susceptible to psychosomatic illnesses, like frequent colds or stomach problems.

Researchers state that there are certain jobs that are prone to burnout. Example? Helping professions-- like doctors, nurses, clergy, missionaries, counselors, social workers, and teachers. And high-pressured positions, such as executives and business persons.

Hey. You may not have the symptoms I describe above. Nor are you working in the professions I listed .

Open your heart and let God speak to you today.

Talk 3: ToysSee the Divine of the Ordinary

I LOVE what English writer and theologian G.K. Chesterton said: There are two ways to get enough: one is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

If you want to really be happy, you need to learn this very important skill: To see the divine of the ordinary. Because if you develop the capacity to suck all the joy that simple life has to oer, youll always be happy no matter what happens.

Im not ashamed to say that the simple act of walking around my little village every morning gives me so much pleasure. Because I surround myself with Gods beautiful creation. The sky above me. The happy trees. The semi-polluted air around me. (Just being honest.) Its still all beautiful.

Some have made owning a Rolls Royce the source of their pleasure. Or taking a Luxury Cruise in Europe. Or buying diamonds. Hey, theres nothing wrong with these things, per se. But if you have to do these things to be happy, youll be rarely happy.

Ive chosen the simpler path: If I can date my wife, or chat with my boys, or take a quiet stroll under a canopy of stars, or read a good book in my home, or laugh with friends over pizza, I consider myself richly blessed.

My message: Focus on what you have, not on what you dont have.

Because satisfaction doesnt come from getting what you want, but wanting what you already have.

Think about it.

Live on less and delight in them more.

Big Day: TrustHow Deep Is Your Trust in God?

IMAGINE if one morning, you woke up, peered through the window, and found pan de sal lying on the road.

Lots and lots of pan de sal.

Thats what happened to the Israelites one day when they woke up one morning in the desert between Egypt and the promised land. They saw manna spread across the desert sands.

Through the manna, God was teaching them a certain attitude that I believe is the foundation of simplicity.

Manna says, Trust in God totally.

Manna says, Everything you have really comes from Him.

Manna says, Expect surprising miracles every day!

Learn these lessons well.

I believe this is the only way to really relax.

To inwardly rest.

To simplify.

To be at peace.

May the Lord heal you today!

THIS issues theme is simple. Its as simple as Simplicity, the July talk series of Bro. Bo Sanchez along with the other preachers in The Feast, the

Light of Jesus Familys prayer gathering.

In past issues, we serialized the talks in three issuesor a total of three months. So you wont have to wait that long to get to the end of the

series, we give you Bro. Bos summary of the series.

You may access copies of the entire series in various online sites which we provide at the end of the talk summary.

lucrative job oers in the corporate world, left a charmed life in the United States, and came home to the Philippines to focus on one single mission: help build our nation. That simple. In the process, he has been rewarded with the desire of his heart, page 3.

Even our testimony in this issue is a brief, simple, yet heartwarm-ing thank you note from our Kerygma Family sis, Raquel Prieto, page 4.

So I will close with a simple, one-sentence Bible verse on simplici-ty quoted by Bro. Bo from Ecclesiates 7:29: I nd that God made man simple; mans complex problems are of his own devising.

MY wife Ella and I lived a charmed life in the United States. But still, a passion to be of service to our country nagged me no end. Ella felt the same longing, so we decided to come back home in 2008.

In the Philippines, I turned down lucrative oers from the corporate world to stay on track with my mission.

I now serve in a small school in Las Pinas which my mother founded more than 35 years ago.

When people ask me what I do, I simply answer them that I'm a nation-builder. I truly believe that my service to the school is fully aligned to my mission of building a nation of nation-builders-- one child at a time, and one family at a time.

Ella shares my core mission. She leads the company that her father founded more than 20 years ago, which provides world-class animal nutrition to our local poultry and swine farmers.

Our Way

In August last year, I was invited to the United States to be a certied coach, trainer, and speaker for the Manila team of John Maxwell, the world renowned international leadership expert.

I decided to bring along Ella. But just a few days before we were to leave for the U.S., our world turned upside down.

You see, Ella and I have been married for a decade now, and we are still working on our rst child.

We went to the extent of going to Taiwan to undergo In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). The doctors told us that there was no way for us to conceive a child naturally.

But after the IVF procedure failed, to our surprise, we ended up getting pregnant.

We were ecstatic. But only for a while. On Ellas eighth week of pregnancy, a routine checkup showed the heartbeat of the baby in her womb had stopped.

We were, to say the least, devastated.

Hoping against hope, we decided to undergo a second IVF procedure. We begged God to give us back the childwe lost.

It is often said that God answers prayersnot necessarily according to our terms, but in His own perfect way. We didnt realize it then, but indeed God was well on His way in granting our prayer.

My best friend happens to be George Gabriel who, when we moved back to Manila in 2008, was serving as worship director at The Feast, the Light of Jesus Familys prayer gathering led by Bro. Bo Sanchez, which at the time was being held at the Valle Verde Country Club in Pasig City.

Bro. George invited us to attend The Feast. We attended and from there, we came to know about the Grace To Be Born shelter for unwed mothers, and the Tahanan ng Pagmamahal, an orphanage, both spearheaded by Bro. Rey Ortega and supported by Bro. Bo and the Light of Jesus.

One time, Bro. Rey and Sis. Rissa Singson Kawpeng, a board member of Grace To Be Born, who also serves as editor-in-chief of Kerygma inspirational magazine, invited Ella and me to visit the shelter.

We were told Grace To Be Born aims to save babies from abortion.To prevent abortion of unwanted pregnancy, Grace provides an alternative to the mother: board and lodging, plus livelihood skills training and spiritual nourishment, throughout her pregnancy -- all without any cost or obligation to the mother-- just to give her baby a chance to be born into the world.

I was interested since I wanted to see how we could help out. So Ella and I visited Grace. There, in one of the cribs, this baby boy smiled at us, reached out to us, we held his hands, and since then, life was never the same again for us.

We adopted the boy and named him Jacob.

Reecting on our journey, Ive realized there are three signicant details surrounding our meeting Jacob.

First, Jacob was born on May 21, 2014-- the date we tested negative for our second IVF procedure. As we asked God to give us back the son we lost in miscarriage, little did we know, God was already bringing to life the son He has meant for us.

Second, we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary on September 5, 2014 --which was the day we arrived in Manila from our trip to the U.S. It was also the day we started spending time with Jacob. From the airport, we went straight to the Grace shelter.

The number 10 represents perfection. So we realized our perfect God gave us the perfect gift at the perfect time.

And third, the name Jacob means supplanter. To supplant is to replace. And that is what Jacob has done in my own life.

Jacob supplanted my fears with faith.

Jacob supplanted my dread with dreams.

And Jacob supplanted my loss with love.
