Yes, I’ve decided to move forward and on. Blogging has been a fun experience in that I’ve been able to unabashedly share my thoughts and feelings about various life experiences during the past 3 years. Thanks to all who took the time to read my blog entries. Some were deep, others superficial and silly... both …
Moving forward…
This past weekend I attended a 3-day convention in New Jersey titled “Love Never Fails.” While walking on the beach with my beloved dog Charlie I reflected upon what it means to show love in a world full of strife and hatred. This is my last blog entry. The decision was difficult, but the reality …
A crown of thorns you wore.
A crown of thorns you wore; remaining faithful to Him you swore. As our sins pierced your head; with love and resolution you bled. A crown of thorns you wore, a symbol of something more. Pricking at my conscience and heart; you paid the price for a new start. A crown of thorns …
On being decisive…
This past weekend I attended a 1-day convention titled “Be Bold!” The talks given centered around standing firm and decisive while on our spiritual path. We live in a fickle world where opinions on matters change from one day to the next. Given this, standing firm on a matter may sometimes be seen as antiquated …
La Familia
Los momentos hay que aprovechar; y con mucho amor aprender a olvidar. Momentos feos seguro habrán; con razón las barreras debemos respetar. Recordar que individuos todos somos; aprender a animarnos y siempre ayudarnos. Interés genuino realmente demostrar; y hacer un esfuerzo por saber escuchar. Porque es mas fácil decir y no hacer? Quizás …
“These girls…”
Serving Jah is sweet indeed; but so much more with these awesome 3. They wake up early to join me; in worshipping Jah with much joy & glee. These girls are on track! Good sense they don’t lack. They make an effort to serve; slowly building up nerve. As I reflect back to when I …
Time flies…
Reflecting on the past 2 years since starting this blog; where I’ve been and where I’m going. It’s hard to believe I started this blog 2 years ago (exactly 1 year after re-embarking on full-time service). My aim was not only to motivate and encourage those who were on the same path as I, but …
Para mi querida amiga y nueva hermana…
Este verano se bautizó mi querida amiga y maestra Maria Elena. Esta pequena poesía te la dedico ya que tu forma de ser y actitud hacia la vida me inspira. Sigue hacia adelante, fuerte y tenaz como siempre! Que gran satisfacción sentí al escuchar, que más cerca de Jehova escogiste estar. A pesar de …
A thought on death and dying.
Today my father would have turned 85 and, although I don’t celebrate birthdays, I would have called him (as I did everyday) to simply to remind him how special he was to me. But he’s gone now; resting until that faithful day. Given this, I called his 90 year old childhood friend and offered some support. …
“Gentrify”
When visiting DC this year we decided to try Airbnb for the first time. Our “flat” as the American owners called it, was located in a neighborhood just 2 blocks from the Capitol colloquially known as LeDroit Park. The old Victorian style homes are hallmarks of history. As I observed it’s unique make up of …
