Be Happy!…Be Encouraged!

THE WORLD KNOWS ENOUGH HELL! Let’s show a little more Heaven

About me

My name is Petrus. I grew up in country that was not my own and traveled the World.  I find people–their, cultures, traditions, worldviews, values, insights, experiences and lives very interesting. I’ve lived in or visited: the US, Thailand, Cambodia, Burma, Vietnam, India, Pakistan, Lebanon, Jordan, UAE, Taiwan, Mexico and have enjoyed the experiences I’ve had in each country. I love discovering and learning new things in life.

Regarding the deeper side of life: I believe in a Creator and in the Creator’s love for every human being. I also try to be a follower of Jesus and help others think of the needs of their immortal soul and spirit.

The main reason for this blog: To communicate thoughts, ideas, and spiritual input that interested, inspired and/or encouraged me.

In spite of a natural tendency for negativity and cynicism, I wanted to learn to be a medium for positive thinking and gratefulness for God’s blessing in my life. Making an effort to turn negative outlooks around and thanking God for the things He sends my way—the good and the not so good. I hope positiveness will become more a part of my life and outlook as time goes on.

I probably won’t post that often (once every two months). Mostly it will be quotes and stories from varied sources and authors as I come across them.

My personal wish is that you will find things here that are positive, encouraging, uplifting, enlightening and beneficial to your life.

If you would like to write me, need encouragement, prayer you can email me at: <thehappypizza@gmail.com>

    hello petrus,
    ur blog is really good.it is also good to see many people who are willing to share their experiences and feelings. i started reading urs from the big nose article.it is great.
    after viewing ur blog, i am reminded once again that i am not the only one who is suffering and bothering for the personal or social problems.
    ummm…by the way, i think ur nose is also not that big from ur photo.since u are also westerner, ur face shape and ur nose size is just right. i have also seen many guys who possess the bigger nose than urs. and u are right to get urself out of this miserable world of unsatisfication upon what u got.

    Thanks JJ. I’m reminded of two quotes after reading your comment: “the heart of man is the same the world over” and “peace with contentment is great gain”. :) Take care!

    SO GREAT TO SEE SUCH A POSITIVE BLOG TO SEE AND READ. WITH SO MUCH NEGATIVES IN THE WORLD, EVERYONE WHO RECEIVES THIS OR COMES ACROSS IT SHOULD KEEP IT AND LOOK AT IT EVERY SO OFTEN. MAKES YOU THINK HOW LUCKY SOME OF US ARE WHEN LOOKING AT THE BIG PICTURE. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. THE WORLD IS VERY FORTUNATE IN HAVING SOMEONE WHO WILL SPEND SO MUCH TIME HELPING OTHERS BY POINTING OUT ‘GOD IS LOVE’.
