Failures
9apr15 Failures (Por favor, desplácese hasta la parte inferior de la traducción española) (please scroll down to the bottom for spanish translation) Denis and his 6 sisters were taken by Mi Familia, a government organization. I feel like a failure. Good thing the word FAILURE is a Dean word, and not a God Word! I […]
Sin
14mar15 Sin (desplácese hacia abajo para español) The spanish word for ‘without’ is ‘sin’. Interesting, isn’t it? ‘Without’ is a great discription of sin. Doing something without God’s approval (sinning) usually leaves you without a lot of things. Spouses, health, homes, possessions, money, happiness, friends etc. all tend to disappear when someone begins to let […]

J.O.Y. Unspeakable
Winnie Joy used to go the SALISBURY BAPTIST TEMPLE KINDERGARTEN. She would come up with the most convicting “sayings”. One was,”if it isn’t your best it´s sin” I WAS CONVICTED! still am as a matter of fact, not that it´s done much good! She also still says, J.O.Y. (her middle name), Jesus, Others, Yourself,to have […]

What is my definition of who we are?
My feeble definition of our ministry is doing something without an agenda or motives, for the good of someone else. Just my take on it. Winnie is my example. She´s quiet, industrious, righteous, and gets it done. You don´t even know what she´s doing, but you see a LOT of people being blessed. She doesn´t even […]
Dean & Family

Who and What is being called?
Calling is a funny word. This is Dean, and this is just my personal observations. I think most people “called” feel like it´s not such a good thing, but it really is. Bottom line, it isn’t a decision. It´s what you have going on inside you, directed from God. Churches all have one thing in […]
PIERCE the Hearts
Bamboo has hearts at every external ring. Indians and rural people in central and south america, as well as south east asia and africa use bamboo as condiuits for water. But first there has to be a long hard object pass through the bamboo to to PIERCE the Hearts(solid discs, dividing the bamboo into sections).. […]
“If you can’t trace God´s hand, TRUST His heart.” Adrian Rogers
Sometimes we are so blessed we can’t stand it. Other times God seems to come to a screeching halt, and as David says, the skies become like bronze, and our prayers ricochet off of it. It’s not true, but it sure seems that way. God Always answers prayer with a YES, NO and NOT YET. […]
Love S.I.C.K.
That´s my personal title for the story of the prodigal son´s father. The Father was LOVE SICK! He was looking for his lost little boy. Imagine the joy He had when He saw his baby boy running back to Him, crying and asking for forgiveness. (even the son was a grown man, a father always […]

Kindness Spiritual/Mental health 201′ repentance and carrying on. Forgetting the past. Paul said to press ahead. Beatriz dela Caridad Paz has brought so much to the table. A brother […]
OTHERS, a lunatic and God
OTHERS is first. ‘Lunatic’ is the last link as you scroll down, not me, another lunatic. A good friend of mine directly told me last week to stop waiting FOR (not my strong suit ) and just take control and make it happen. Right now as we are waiting On OTHERS. Kids suffer and die […]
