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, […]

Payday Matthew 20:9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. Payday is today! I both hate payday and love payday.  Today is a bittersweet day.  It is like having a multiple personality disorder.  The first one is that of a miser and the other is […]

Outrunning John 20:4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. I just saw a very snide comment by a christian lady today. Her comments are always self glorifying, and demeaning to others. Today she was making fun of those who have small children, taking […]

Objectives Psalm 27:4 (KJV) 4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, We want only one thing, to please the Lord with our lives, and to help others to know Him. Not to […]

AGG John 16:21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. AGG!  I think I invented this word 30 years ago when I […]

Windows People say the eyes are the window of the soul, but they are misquoting the Bible. Matthew 6:22 “The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. […]

Happy Proverbs 29:18 he that keepeth the law, happy is he. I love to listen to teachers about happiness.  Most of them are right on. Most of them really are just encouraging you to have a morning devotion.  This is my mechanical way to get happy,  THE FORMULA as I had mentioned before.  It seems […]

Fellowship John 20:24 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus[a]), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into […]

sleep ACTS 6:60  ‘Stephen’ cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. There is nothing I love more than what I am doing.  Days are extremely hard though.  After a hard day, I love going to sleep. I have found that […]

Estefan Acts 7:59 While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” Estefan is the Spanish name for Stephen. Estefan is a kid at our feeding center.  Remember him?  The Piñata thief from last year’s party.  A very hard case.  Some would say an impossible case.  More than one person visiting here […]

Humanism Acts 8:18-19 When Simon saw that the Spirit was given at the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money and said, “Give me also this ability so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.” Simon thought he saw a formula that he could purchase to […]

BEGGING Psalm 37:25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. I have been called a beggar by a drunk who i took in , and had live with us for three months. I risked my own career, to get him into […]

God-Incidences Matthew 14:25. Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. Jesus sent His guys out into the sea in a boat. Then He sent a storm, or He knew that one was coming. In the midst of the storm, when the desciples were fearing for their lives, He came out to save the day. […]

12 hours John 11:9King James Version (KJV) 9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. 99.99999% of the good things that happen to me happens just because I show up. Cause I walk onto […]

YAY Matthew 5:37King James Version (KJV) 37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay…. This is King James English. In those days the word for yes was YEA. When we are happy, we say YEA, or better spelled, YAY!! a hold back from the 1600’s. I think YAY came from a big YES […]

Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. Our Pre-K started on Monday. We are so happy. I had my first teaching job when I was still in the army. When I returned to CONUS, I was given the job […]

YOU! Efesians 2. … As for YOU!,,,, I remember that phrase from an incident in elementary school! It makes my blood run cold to this day. It is a great argument against teachers carrying fire-arms in public school. Once I had the whole classroom going when our little old blue haired school teacher stepped out […]

CRITERIA John 13:7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. Jesus answered people when they tried to communicate with them. Pastors, and Christians, as a rule now days don’t. AS A MATTER OF FACT JESUS STILL ANSWERS US! I love www.familyradio.org . 99% of […]

  Taste (re-aired) Psalm 34:8 Taste and see that the LORD is good. We try to encourage the children to pray before they eat. Once a little boy prayed. LORD, HELP DEAN TO BEHAVE HIMSELF TODAY, AND MAKE THE FOOD TASTE GOOD! I don’t know if the Lord answered the first request, but the food […]

LATE! Timeliness is a man thing, not a Jesus thing. Waves of kids never stop. There will always be MORE late ones than punctual ones. Do you know that Jesus never yelled at any one for being late? It’s because He was late sometimes too! Yup, Jesus was LATE from time to time. Even when […]

Paths Psalm 16:11King James Version (KJV) 11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Sorry I haven’t been writing much.  Been at the doctor. He has me on a diet, and told me to walk 10,000 steps a […]

  Titus 1:15  Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure. A pastor asked me “Why do you post so much stuff about your every move?”  I was kind of shocked.  I replied, “I believe in the power of prayer, don’t you?” James 5:16 says, […]

HONOR – Rom 9:21 Has not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor? God is the potter, we are the clay. We, as clay, are formed (past tense) into vessels by His hand. Some vessels were made pretty and perfect. Some vessels […]
