Just Me, Myself and I ... With Random Thoughts!

First of all I want to give a big shout out to Christopher Columbus for making such an impact on the country that we get a day off!

I'm sitting here at the Sunrise Breakfast Shoppe by myself eating breakfast. Very interesting to me as a person who grew up in Great Bridge as one of maybe four Filipinos in the community, that today in the heart of GB there is a thriving business owned and operated by Filipinos. It is the picture of a typical mom and pop diner with the normal breakfast and lunch specials with flairs of Filipino cuisine as well. The entire staff is Filipino and makes my heart smile to here them all interact in the midst of a packed restaurant of non-Filipino speaking customers.

The most comforting part is to remove the chatter and in the background you here Christian music playing in the background. For those of you who are not familiar with this community, there is only a small population of Filipinos that are Protestant believers. The majority of the population are practicing Catholics and the next is Muslim. Not only are the owners Christ followers but they are pillars in this geographical community.

I am one who takes great pride in my heritage and it brings great joy to see it thriving in this community, but more than that...thriving in The Lord!
