DAYS Special days, days off, holidays and religious days hold no appeal for me. Especially in the summer. Maybe because I have flashbacks of my dad mowing the lawn wearing only shorts, knee high black dress socks and wingtips on his days off. Wintery or rainy days seemed a little more special, but not very […]

MISSIONS
MISSIONS I used to have a great aunt. Her name Aunt Ana (I thought her name was ´antena´ until just a few years ago. Figured it was a slovak nickname for a crazy person or something. All my aunts have this little slav accent thing going on, still to this date..Anyways, She would to tell me in whispered reverence with the wild eyes […]
Mountaintops
Mountaintops Psalm 121:1 … I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. Mountain tops are nice, but deceiving. Everyday I walk my l little girl to school. She makes me wait with her until the bell rings, so I just sit there with her and look at the mountains. […]
Preaching what you Practice (John Sclesi)
Preaching what you Practice (John Sclesi) People make such lofty arguments when they are preaching from a safe place. They may be paupers and preach prosperity. They may be sickly and preach health. They may be complete degenerate sinners and preach virtue. What people PREACH when they are among their peers does little good to […]
SHORTCUTS
SHORTCUTS “SHORTCUTS WILL NEVER TAKE YOU TO A DESTINATION WORTHWHILE”……. Zig Ziglar My 12 year old son says that my walks are like my politics, ABSURD!

Forgetting
2May14, pure heart and forgetting When Dean was an infant my wife was laid up in a hospital with appendicitis. I realized there were no diapers for him. So I rushed out side with Dean Jr and grabbed a cab. Upon arriving to the pharmacy to buy diapers I had a feeling as if I […]
Networking
Networking Being an ex car salesman, I try to shy away from sales buzz words and sales philosophies and techniques when talking about the Lord. Networking is not about sales nor marketing. It isn´t new. Nor is it nonspiritual or sinful. Peter was told by Jesus to throw the net. Because he obeyed, he received […]
Sleep
Fwd: 18-4-14 pure heart and sleep Managua is now known as the city that doesn´t sleep. Between a week of strong earthquakes and tsunami warnings, every one in Managua is like the walking dead with big bags under their eyes. Sleep is nice. The older I get the more I like it. Sleeping heals. It […]
Earthquakes and Falling stuff.
Earthquakes and Falling stuff. Falling stuff, (including people) kill people. Not earthquakes in themselves. We Just had a 6.6 earthquake about 4 minutes ago, 2:49 pm, mountain time, today, friday, 11 April 2014 right here in beautiful Managua Nicaragua. Yesterday we had a 6.2. The thing about earthquakes is that if the structure you are […]
