8oct15 Opposites Wouldn’t it make life more simple and less messy if we were more likely to be drawn to people whose personalities were more like our own, rather than those who are more likely to be our polar opposite? Still, opposites attract. Here’s a perfect example, Jesus. Jesus is perfect, we are not. He […]
Weekly Testimonies
HEAT
1oct15 HEAT I saw a meme in Facebook today. I liked it, because it made me examine myself, so I re-posted it. Like I said,, I journal through social media. Transparency is my number one rule. As a pastor, I was always taught to NOT be transparent. That did NOT work very well […]
CONVERSATIONS
CONVERSATIONS Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. Colossians 4:6 NIV In Spanish we say, walk with wolves long enough and you will begin to howl. The more you talk to good people, wise people, the more you will have grace. […]
LIKE
LIKE When you like someone, you like to be with them. There are things in their lives that you identify with which in turn, leads you to want to be like them in certain ways. Sometimes you may not like someone very much, but still find a way to love them. Certainly you can love […]
CROSS
Don’t let your belief in the cross come across as making you cross. More specifically, don’t make others cross because they think that you are cross. The message of the CROSS alone can make others feel uncomfortable. There is no need to pollute it’s power with our feeble feelings. This weekly blog is a journal […]
SPITE

TIME
Alwyn Wall sings a song ‘time waits for no one, and it won’t wait for you’. Americans are obsessed with time. You can loose a friendship, or a job, by being 15 minutes late to a meeting. Time is important though. Most importantly in a time of need. People ask me why I do […]
QUOTER
13aug15 QUOTER What are you? A quoter, or a quotee? Are other people quoting you? Or are you quoting other people? If you are being quoted, you are the quoter. If you are quoting other people you are the quotee (or mildly put, plagiarist). As I think of all the great people in the world, […]
ADIOS
21aug15 ADIOS I love the Latina culture. Especially her language. For example,the word for good bye is ADIOS.. … A DIOS, putting it all into God’s hands…. when you depart, you are putting the other person into God’s hands. Never GOODBYE (as a final salute, but always, it is up to God) This YWAM team […]
Human Beings
7aug15 Human Beings We are human beings, not human doings.. God wants us to BE like Him. He created us in His image. He wants us to BE more than He wants us to DO. Being is Christianity. Doing is religion. Naturally, faith without works is dead, but it is an evidence of the work […]
