Things we do this summer
SUMMER is the liveliest time of the year. It’s all fun and everyone regardless of age are set to make the most of life. Ask your tennis partner or your golfmate, your mahjong mate and even your hairdresser. They will give you the nod.
Shepherd and gate
JESUS said to the Pharisees,] "Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever does not enter a sheepfold through the gate but climbs over elsewhere is a thief and a robber. But whoever enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens it for him, and the sheep hear his voice, as he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has driven out all his own, he walks ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, because they recognize his voice. But they will not follow a stranger; they will run away from him, because they do not recognize the voice of strangers." Although Jesus used this figure of speech, they did not realize what he was trying to tell them.

Solicitor General Nachura said that Aragoncillo’s passing of information to opposition leaders here might be contrary to US government interests, but he said, "we must determine whether it is also inimical to our own laws."
