Final Destination

Few days ago I was asking myself if I am ready to be in the presence of God wondering if I’m prepared or not. Today I was called to perform a funeral service for a woman who was called to the God’s presence on her early 30’s. Grisell was sick since she was 21 and recently she accepted Jesus as her savior and she got baptized last year. Her boyfriend shared with me that since then, she was happy, smiling all the time, even when she knew that she had short time was full of energy sharing her faith and love with others. She left peacefully while she was sleeping during the first hours of the 29th, a special day. She left a legacy to her family; her faith and strength from Jesus. God always has a plan for each of us, even when we deviate from her original plan he always has from a “B” plan to “ZZZ” plan. That’s why is so important to be a good steward of what God has given us: Our body, our mind, our heart and our soul. Today Troy Gramling, my pastor will be talking about “Ethos” and how to apply those in our lives, to perform a better stewardship with our appreciated gifts from God.

Truth or dare?

One of the things that is surprising to me today, is the low value that many people assign to their own promises. Teenagers don't believe their parents, because they never fulfill their promises; Couples say "I'll stand by you forever" and few months later they walk on the opposite direction; politicians make promises to earn votes, and once the election is done, they forgot about it.

"A gentleman always fulfill his promises, a man with no word has no honor" and I learned to live by that principle. Few weeks ago, I was having a discussion with one of the leaders on the youth ministry at Flamingo Road Church about some technical difficulties we were experiencing during the broadcasting of our Student Service online, and I challenged him to fix the failures, so if he would complete the task with no errors, I will do my hair like him... (He had a Mohawk haircut with ...

The Tree of faith!

Last January we were on the process of buying our house, by that time we really did't knew for sure if we could get the property for what we offered... at that time, it was uncertain the purchase of the property, but we saw a tall Christmas tree and I always wanted to have a tall tree at home and I told Dora: "We are going to buy that tree, on faith" I knew that we didn't know for sure if we were going to get our dream house, but on faith we decided to buy the tree (It was also 75% off), so we bought it and stored until we purchased our house... then it was the first box to be placed on the attic, besides other Christmas purchases and we decided to bring it on before thanks giving, so here is a picture of the just unpacked and lighted tree of the faith... Decorations will come soon!
