Just thinking

Just thinking!

I like to read the news; seeing what is going on in the world, and it is at times interesting, funny, but for the most part sad. It is sad when I read about so many different places in the USA that are taking God out of whatever; a song, a speech, a place,  on and on goes the list. Just today I was thinking and remembering the account of Jesus being rejected by his people. To me it seems as though we are drawing close to the point of a modern day crucifixion scene. Nowadays it is unthinkable to nail someone to a cross. Of course we would not allow an unthinkable thing like that. Really though what is the difference? Jesus is being rejected and crucified in our modern civilized day and age as the world looks on. 

Will God allow another crucifixion?

Looks are deceiving!
Irma and I took a trip to Mexico City with one of the Casa boys and as is true everywhere one will find unique things to eat. On the bus ride home we stopped to eat, and I went to one eating place I saw this tortilla and asked if they had a normal flour tortilla. They said no and I moved on to the next stand but to my dismay they offered the same type of tortilla. I was hungry and saw many people eating this "thing" so I ordered two of them. To my delight they were very tasty as I enjoyed every bite along with my Coke, not seen in the picture but just to set the proper scene it was there.
We find ourselves doing this in many circumstances, making judgments on what we see then what we think about it. This happens unfortunately with relationships. We reject someone because of a negative thing about them that does not appear to me very "right".
We need to look at others with eyes of love. Maybe we were put in their path to be an impact, or maybe more correctly they were put in our path to better our lives. Hey, have a great day!

Joy in the courtyard!
Irma and I attended an event in front of the Governors palace here in Tepic. It was a time of joy, thanksgiving, and proclaiming peace and blessing upon our land and government. There was a good turnout from the churches here in the city. Much joy and music. A good reflection of Jesus to our government.
Blessings and have a wonderful day!

I love you!

Valentine's Day!


On this day we share or give expressions of love. A wonderful thing to do. 


I gave these flowers to my wife this day as an expression of my love for her. I as well gave heart shaped lollipops to the kids, as an expression of love. 


Love though is something much deeper than an outward expression. True love lies deep within. These flowers will wither in a few days as they have been cut from the roots. True love (real love) does not wither, die, or end as it is connected to something deep within us. Don't confuse love with what is seen. Look for evidence of love connected to a source that sustains the external and will endure the "things" that come in life. 
Blessings and have a wonderful day!

Lot’s to do!

We have been quite busy this past January. Fixing up our  "blessing" of a donated house, having a quinceañera, working with the welfare agencies in our state, hosting a visiting church from town, spending time with the kids, etc. Much to do and always children that need some time. Irma and I spent much time fixing up our home. We needed to get it to the point where we could live there. We have been living at the Casa for over a year. A wonderful blessing. We are now at our home after much, much work, but it was worth it. We had such a wonderful time blessing this young girl from the Casa as she reached her 15th birthday. She was so blessed and we all had allot of fun.
