Sustainability (ver más abajo para español) Psalm 3:5 (KJV) I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me. As a little boy, my son had the cutest friends.  Ryan is one I recall.  He reminded me of a chubby little car salesman and man was he a smooth talker!  One time […]

Aches and pains of old age. When you do what we do, taking care of around 200 kids, you have very limited resources, even if you DO have a good paying job. Being poor is good for me though and it’s VERY healthy. When I had a lot of extra money i went to the […]

Practice (ver más abajo para español) Matthew 5:48 (KJV) 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. I work extensively with people that are imperfect.  I am drawn to them because I am imperfect as well. One street kid I took under my wing was sleeping in tombs (a […]

Mission (ver más abajo para español) Isaiah 61 says, The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prisons to them that […]

Noise  (ver más abajo para español) 1 Kings 19- 11 ‘God said…the Lord is about to pass by.’  Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind.  After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in […]

Miffed (ver más abajo para español) Suffer the children to come unto me– Jesus Jesus loved kids for the same reason I do, I think.  Kids don’t get miffed, or when they do, it’s extremely funny. Watch the video below to see this little boy crying because his futbol team lost. When an adult gets miffed, […]

(ver más abajo para español) 2 Chronicles 20:15 The battle is not yours, but God’s. One of the most profound statement that I have ever heard is ‘choose your battles’.  It changed my life.  It taught me to just ‘walk away’ sometimes.  All battles are not necessary. Battles are in everyone’s life.  For the mentally […]

Trust (ver más abajo para español) Psalm 56:3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee You can trust anything you want.  We are given free will.  I have learned only toTRUst what is TRUe. Good luck objects ( in my case, lucky socks ) are funny, a nice distraction, but not TRUstworthy. […]

Ok, 2 things we need help with. 1. I have several men who want to come down and do some light construction.  We need someone to head up that team. 2. We also need someone to organize a container to be shipped down from the states.  Packages are crazy expensive to mail now, so it […]

Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. I struggle with this verse. While there are no slaves in Nicaragua, nor in America, we do serve a Master.  We either serve GOD, […]
