a little story about a GREAT human being. Angelica (the tallest one in the back) Angelica on any other planet would be a homecoming queen, student council president, cheerleader and valedictorian. She would be in the running for scholarships at any ivy league school. She could enjoy the future of a brilliant corporate lawyer […]
(I AM GRATEFUL TO GOD FOR THAT)
I got hit by a car hit by a car yesterday (I AM GRATEFUL TO GOD FOR THAT) I usually walk my kids to school in the morning. (I AM GRATEFUL FOR THAT TOO, THEY ARE NOT) They never had to do that in the states, they´d be playing games or ignoring the beautiful country […]
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 […]

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 […]
“What do we think we´re doing here?”
What do we think we´re doing? We are trying to help some families out of poverty, with God´s help and inspiration. POVERTY IS THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF VIOLENCE IN THE WORLD. Poverty robs kids of their childhood AND their future. When I first was down here the first time, as a non believer, I […]
T.H.I.N.K.
Craig Laurie said once, you should THINK before you talk. Is it Thoughtful? Helpful? Intelligent? Needful? Kind? Heard some really unkind things on a bus today spoken by an american missionary, Lots of Nicaraguans were offended, I was humiliated.
