14 Mar 2014, Pure Heart and WAITING The Jewish prophet Isaiah said that “those who wait upon the Lord shall renew in strength” Personally, I hate waiting. Waiting in the way I read it made me weak and old, not stronger. I told you this story before but it applies more than ever. I remember […]

Relationships VS Agendas
Relationships VS Agendas So, Jesus was told that Lazarus was dying. Yet He dillydallied 3 days before he made it there. By then Lazarus was dead. Jesus said He took His time so God would be glorified. I would have been a maniac if Lazarus was a loved one of mine, and if Jesus was […]
Hearing Vs. Listening
Yet another week has passed in Nicaragua, the Land of Volcanoes and Lakes. Geography aside, Nicaragua is a land of really fantastic people with magnificent resources. We were blessed with the visit of missionaries from Kenya Africa, our lifelong friends, Steve and Diann Warne. What I always notice about them is that they are both […]
PROBLEMS
Problems. Everyone has them. If not, you are just coming out of one, or about to enter one. But no one escapes from Problems (Mike MacIntosh), Horizon Christian Fellowship, San Diego California. As a supposed ´representative´ of Jesus Christ on this planet, I love people. I love public transportation and taxis. I taking prefer buses […]
St. Valentine´s and other PRECONCEIVED MISCONCEPTIONS
St. Valentine´s and other PRECONCEIVED MISCONCEPTIONS ONCE A FRIEND ASKED ME TO TELL HIM THE TRUTH. I DID. HE GOT MAD. NOW WE´RE NOT FRIENDS ANYMORE. Don´t ask for the TRUTH if you really don´t want to deal with the answer. I´ve been on kind of a TRUTH QUEST. The Bible says in James 1:5 […]

We are now an NGO in Nicaragua to help children At-Risk of growing up in prostitution, crime and squalor. 3 lawyers later, and almost 24 months! (the last one only took 3 months, so the last one was crazy fast, the other two, crazy SLOW. Here is the […]
EVENTS vs LIFESTYLE
EVENTS vs LIFESTYLE I think of events as sales ploys and lies. I always cringe when I see religious groups hold EVENTS. I cringe even more when individuals present EVENTS. Almost always it´s to ´impress others´ which has disastrous results for the victims of the events. The problem with EVENTS are that they are not […]
The Name
My 9 year old daughter (Winnie Joy) is now a ´proud grandma´. Must her inner ´slovak studda bubbah´ coming through. Her little weener dog had 9 puppies. (seeing how ´dad´ is our german sheppard watch dog, it´s a small miracle) She has all 9 puppies named, and she actually expects me to remember their names. […]
Opinions
Opinions Opinions are important. Everyone has one. I have learned over the years that MY OPINION isn´t necesarily the RIGHT opinion. It took a while for that to sink in. Jesus seemed to ALWAYS heard the person out when they came to Him. He LISTENED to them, not just HEARD them. He did that because […]
LOVE not charity.
LOVE not charity LOVE not Charity. I´m not a big fan of discussions (arguments) of which denominations, dogmas nor Bible translation is the best. We´re all wrong (in my opinion) on one thing or another. 1 Corinthians 13:2 in the New International Version, it replaces the word Charity with a better translation, the word LOVE. […]
