CCF St Francis, Philippines and Chapel of Hope, USA
"Man should not be live by bread alone"
I'd just finish CCF today and topic is all about Italian Sauce. Also i remember Pinoy Adobo by CCF Pastor's Ed, Jovy and Tanchi's topic couple of Sunday sermon years ago...That you mix it with vinegar and oil so that you can get character. Not literally the ingredients but the truth and love you mix all of the time for the glory of God. Committed Christian Follower started its vission to a small group.So we can heal the family starting with the small group, big group, nation eventually the billions of people all over the world. Such a Christian great vision like my uncle Church-mate and Classmate in the Seminary Rick Warren and John Maxwell.
The Olympic Gymnast, Pastor said get out of comfort zone and make the effort like the Olympic gymnast do
in serving ministry for the glory of God! Its not safe to land with a lot of style, tumbling, back-dive on balance landed on ground. See the effort like Christians are describe with Olympic Gymnast sacrifice to honor sports as Christians to God. We act like we Hear from God, Speak from God and Walk/Ministry for God.
Former AFP Chief of Chaplain General Magno told me 2years ago about his Ministry, Martial Arts and Soccer times a while ago. Also told me to always come home in every occasion like Christmas. When i had a night before Christmas dinner with him at his house. I have no ticket at that time going back to Negros but he advice me you can make it. Just have faith i just prayed for him he passed away last year. We lost a snappy Pastor General in Camp Aguinaldo. I miss our times delivering some toys and US aid to different families.

Letter from Larson to the America Public:
Subject: Re: Awesomeness
To all of my family, friends, supporters and Americans who I have never met:
Thank you for all the support that you have given Team USA and me. We have all been incredibly honored to represent all of you at the 2008 Olympic games. It has been a dream come true to reach the pinnacle of sport success and each of you should consider yourselves a part of that success. I can't thank each of you enough….
Today I swam my final race and it was a tough battle. Unfortunately, I finished out of the medals….. My good friend and training partner Ous Mellouli won the event and I couldn't be happier for him. He truly deserved it and I look forward to congratulating him personally.
Our final award ceremony today finished the way it started—with the playing of the United States National Anthem. I began to get choked up. I was choked up because I understand what our flag and our anthem represent. It represents freedom and opportunity. Freedom to pursue any dream—and the opportunity to make that dream a reality. Mine have become a reality, and our team is proof that America is great—and always will be.
A few days ago I received an American Flag and accompanying Flag Citation from Navy Special Operations Task Force – West, Camp Shane Patton, Fallujah, Iraq. I was hoping to personally carry that flag around the pool; but that wasn't in the cards. However, that flag was carried around the pool by Aaron Peirsol, Brendan Hansen, Michael Phelps, and Jason Lezak for the awards ceremony of the 400 Medley Relay. They are great Americans and they carried that flag to make all of you proud—they did a damn good job.
This team has made me proud by their grace in victory and poise in defeat. A man could never ask for a finer group of men and women to be associated with than our USA Olympians.
It has been an honor to represent The United States of America….I will never forget this experience and I will never take it for granted.
Thanks again America for your support. I, and all US Olympians, look forward to coming home to the land of the free—and never forget WE ARE THE HOME OF THE BRAVE.
Regards,
Larsen Jensen
Bravo Larsen Jensen, Michael Phelps and Company!!! Clap Clap Clap... Congrats Sailors!!!

While Younger Nephew Jayson Biadog is in the Philippines Playzone
With a Background of Operation IRAQ-Multi National Force
I started taekwondo way back 2nd year high school. I trained 6times a week 3 hours a day at 5pm to 8pm then road runs and weights every other morning. I cant imagine how hard i trained to gain the 2002 US Open and Korea Open qualification by winning Gold in the Carlos Palanca Jr Championship/ PGMA Cup National Welterweight and Middleweight division.
I remember "Miloboy" Japoy Lizardo Winning the Fin/Fly wiegth during this time and both of us were awarded by Professor Kang of Korea during 2002 Awarding Ceremony at Ninoy Aquino Stadium. Prior to Taekwondo i was a brat war freak youth who always have a figth with my classmate and different gang in the street everyday after school. I remember i have joined the fraternity and mess up with different gangster and distroyed school properties.
But it all change when i enter. applied and trained the tenets of Taekwondo this is what i learned.
Courtesy - Always bow to dojang, coach and superiors like seniors in the military you salute. Then in school i respect my teachers, outside I respect the law and authority, in home i respect my parents. Like how Monsour Del Rosario treated Master Hung as a father and a coach.
Integrity - Doing the right thing when the coach said you sit up and push up minimum 50x you don't cheat you do 50 or more. So that in the game you win the championship. Up to now im working i always apply the fairness and do win2 situation.
Perseverance - I am determined to focus on solution to whatever problem life will give to me. Being independent to face tough daily life with or without the help of others. I persevere to hit my goal and I’ve almost got half of it.
Self-control – I vividly remember when I control my temper way back 2005 after teaching at TUP-Visayas. Because I was punched at the back of my head by a drunk big guy. And during that time he was surrounded by my taekwondo students then I suddenly stop my Champion student attempting to attack the aggressor to let go. And let’s walk fast but still the drunken men still in tiger look at me. I think when I look to his eye’s square I could break his leg and his face but I was controlled by my heart. During that time I realize that an adult fight is very dangerous when you injured them or they injured you and both party lost. And you don’t know what happen when revenge, family, friends and connections enter. I think the best way is to run fast when you encounter fight. Also when I do officiating National/Unigames Championship the tension is in the final fight. When other coach and teams yelling at you because of close fight. Like when you see how NCAA/UAAP audience BOO/Yell/Shout at the referee/official during very close fight.
Indomitable spirit – Unfair people is always given wherever I go they shadowed at me. I think its part of growing when somebody cut you off or do unjust cause to you. Just focus on productivity and grow on the other side of the game. I just always think that im not part of the problem because im part of the solution. When I encounter stupendous system and unreasonable human.
Community service – I learn the biblical principle of vine. To bear much more fruit, to undergo pruning when I do produce champions, accelerated students better than me. Referee, Black belts and coach better than me. Helping see people better than they are and those who in need. Doing missionary and non profit missions. Even in corporate world like seeing my reps better salespersons than me. In family helping my younger brothers and sisters to be better than me.
from age 14 to now i didn't have ant fight or quarrel/trouble with any one anymore. The battle is within the court losing a lot of fight and also winning championships.I then realize that the actual battle is when you bring home the beacon from a competition and bring home the glory.
I missed the game so much and when you returned home and being recognized in front of Schools in front of thousand students and faculty, Fellow Martial Artist and Government because whole province is in feast when you bring home the beacon..
Those were the Taining Days.
My Twin students Alan and Aldin Ong and Chris Martin Santiago.
Alan and Aldin is in high brown before they enter black belt
They need to memorize Poomsae 2foundations 8 Taeguk 8Palgue forms and
Kuryo as they reaached black. During promotion they need to undergo breaking of wood and blocks.
Else they wont pass. Also the hardest part is the Korean massage when 3 or more senior black belts sparring and beaten a hopeful high brown twins to be black. And they will make thesis all about taekwondo.
They became my varsity in San Agustin Bacolod and assistant coach and also they became a national referee after they reached 1st dan black belt.
So long, I salute the Filipino Athletes that train, dream and push harder.
Because when you won like in PBA the All Filipino Commissioners or Governors Cup.
It doesn’t stop their train more and move into SEA games, ASIAN games, World Cup, Olympics eventually the NBA or professionals league like Monsour, Bata, Pacman and Paeng did.They are world Champions!!!!
