The USPL World Championship concluded at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas Nevada on Oct. 16-18.

I salute the organizers of this event, despite the economic situation; they were able to pull it off! The referees were far-fetched and the schedules were planned on the dot. The venue, located at the back parking lot of the Riviera Hotel was quite small for a national event. I was expecting a bigger field and more participating vendors compared to any other local tournaments here in California. Also, the organizers need to invest on new and better turfs this time. Let us make the players proud of the competition. Congratulations to all the players and their teams, to those who even travelled from other states, I hope you guys have had marvelous time in Las Vegas. I am expecting a more remarkable things to come on the NPPL/USPL tourney on 2010.

You will enjoy the new insights that Rick Warren has, with his wife now having cancer and him having 'wealth' from the book sales. This is an absolutely incredible short interview with Rick Warren,'Purpose Driven Life ' author and pastor of Saddleback Church in California. In the interview by Paul Bradshaw with Rick Warren, Rick said: People ask me, What is the purpose of life? And I respond: In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were not made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven.

One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body-- but not the end of me. I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity. This is the warm-up act - the dress rehearsal. God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity.. We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to make sense. Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one, or you're getting ready to go into another one. The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort; God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy. We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the goal of life.

The goal is to grow in character, in Christ likeness. This past year has been the greatest year of my life but also the toughest, with my wife, Kay, getting cancer. I used to think that life was hills and valleys - you go through a dark time, then you go to the mountaintop, back and forth. I don't believe that anymore. Rather than life being hills and valleys, I believe that it's kind of like two rails on a railroad track, and at all times you have something good and something bad in your life. No matter how good things are in your life, there is always something bad that needs to be worked on. And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always something good you can thank God for.

You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your problems: If you focus on your problems, you're going into self-centeredness, which is my problem, my issues, my pain.' But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto God and others. We discovered quickly that in spite of the prayers of hundreds of thousands of people, God was not going to heal Kay or make it easy for her- It has been very difficult for her, and yet God has strengthened her character, given her a ministry of helping other people, given her a testimony, drawn her closer to Him and to people. You have to learn to deal with both the good and the bad of life. Actually, sometimes learning to deal with the good is harder. For instance, this past year, all of a sudden, when the book sold 15 million copies, it made me instantly very wealthy. It also brought a lot of notoriety that I had never had to deal with before.

I don't think God gives you money or notoriety for your own ego or for you to live a life of ease. So I began to ask God what He wanted me to do with this money, notoriety and influence. He gave me two different passages that helped me decide what to do, II Corinthians 9 and Psalm 72. First, in spite of all the money coming in, we would not change our lifestyle one bit.. We made no major purchases. Second, about midway through last year, I stopped taking a salary from the church. Third, we set up foundations to fund an initiative we call The Peace Plan to plant churches, equip leaders, assist the poor, care for the sick, and educate the next generation. Fourth, I added up all that the church had paid me in the 24 years since I started the church, and I gave it all back.

It was liberating to be able to serve God for free. We need to ask ourselves: Am I going to live for possessions? Popularity? Am I going to be driven by pressures? Guilt? Bitterness? Materialism? Or am I going to be driven by God's purposes (for my life)? When I get up in the morning, I sit on the side of my bed and say, God, if I don't get anything else done today, I want to know You more and love You better. God didn't put me on earth just to fulfill a to-do list. He's more interested in what I am than what I do. That's why we're called human beings, not human doings.

U.S. President Barrack Obama has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. The Norwegian Nobel committee said Obama has been awarded the prize for his calls to reduce the world's stockpiles of nuclear weapon and work towards restarting the stalled Middle East Peace process. Upon receiving the prestigious award, mixed reaction flying all over the radio stations, news TVs and etc. The one who is very vocal about it, is Rush Limbaugh, he's an ultra-conservative, ultra-popular and host of "The Rush Limbaugh Show". He made several statements about President Obama's acceptance speech. Quote on Quote "President Obama accepts this not as a recognition of his own accomplishments, but as an affirmation of American Leadership. Allow me to say, Mr. President, that if you accepted it on behalf of your accomplishments, what accomplishments, Sir? I guess, it's too early to tell his accomplishment as a President of United States.

Has Obama done enough to justify winning the Nobel Peace Prize? If not, who do you think should have won or more qualified?

A couple of weeks ago, the Philippines was struck with a tropical depression "Ondoy" aka "Ketsana" that flooded Metro Manila and its neighboring cities. A 9 hours of continuous rainfall have caused thousands of people homeless, millions worth of businesses damaged, hundreds of death, several missing relatives and numerous starving individuals lining expecting relief goods and donations. It was an embodiment of distress. What about the disastrous 7.9 earthquake that hit the Island of Samoa and caused Tsunami alert in Hawaii. New Zealand and small pacific islands? The storm in Vietnam? The earthquake in Indonesia? Are we witnessing the forces of nature?

The calamities in our era are much intensified. What would you be thinking? A scientific explanation of climate change? Is the end of time approaching? Is this an awakening? A destiny bound to happen?
