God Has All the Answers

Sitting in my car waiting for my work laundry to wash and a lady comes out talking to someone on the phone. Can’t help but to listen in to a little bit of her conversation. Something about everyone is staying at her house right now etc. I immediately assume it’s due to the hard timesContinue reading “God Has All the Answers”

The little things.

For many years now, I am in a biweekly rotation to deliver a message/sermon at the church I attend. This is a big responsibility and one that I take very seriously. Yesterday morning was my turn in the rotation and I had a message topic to share that expanded on my communion meditation from theContinue reading “The little things.”

You’ve Heard the Word; Now What?

I want to talk about four types of people who hear the Word. The reading of Mark 4:3-8. Mark 4:3-8 New International Version (NIV) 3 “Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where itContinue reading “You’ve Heard the Word; Now What?”

Interceding For God’s People

Interceding for God’s People I was currently reading, The Second Thing About God Should Be the First Thing about Us by Eleeo Zamzummin. In chapter 2 there was a passage that caught my attention and I kept reading it over and over. Then I realized that this passage can be put into an equation. God’s love + truth + righteousness = humility + worship +peaceContinue reading “Interceding For God’s People”

Estralita

I greeted my mother this morning with a short video of me playing the song Estralita. All week I had been thinking of the perfect gift to give my mom for Mother’s Day, then, I remembered yesterday how my mom frequently asks me to play Estralita on the piano during my Sunday visits to her.Continue reading “Estralita”

The Five F’s

In 2017 I overheard a conversation between two gentlemen at a coffee shop. I know what you’re thinking, and I must let you know that I don’t eavesdrop on a regular basis. However, I was studying at the time for my Advanced Neuromuscular Therapy Certification class and they sat next to me, sooo, I takeContinue reading “The Five F’s”

Zephaniah

The name Zephaniah means “The Lord hides”. It can also mean the Lord protects. In the bible, the book of Zephaniah announces to Judah the coming of the day of the Lord. On that day, God would severely punish the nations but also that God will be merciful to His people. The world as weContinue reading “Zephaniah”

Got to Believe in Magic

No one likes to be tricked unless of course for entertainment purposes. I am often impressed by magicians who make things disappear and/or appear, as if they have access to another dimension (a magical dimension). So, is magic real or is it an illusion? I say illusion appearing real. How ’bout you? Magic is justContinue reading “Got to Believe in Magic”

My Daily Cup of Joe

For as long as I can remember, I start off my day with a cup of Joe. I probably consume 3-4 cups a day of this elixir, oh, wait, I should say elixir for me. You can say that coffee is more of a comfort drink for me as it is a stimulant. I amContinue reading “My Daily Cup of Joe”

Vincent

It is possible that the very first song I listened to as a toddler was Starry Starry Night, I mean Vincent. A song by Don McLean written as a tribute to Vincent von Gogh. For many years, I thought the name of that song was Starry Starry Night. I was told that every night for theContinue reading “Vincent”

Find Faith, Renew Faith and Never Look Back

When I was 16 years old, I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour. I will never forget the day I was baptized. It was to take place at the church baptistry, however it was indisposed that day. So, I was taken to the river nearby and there I was baptized. I actuallyContinue reading “Find Faith, Renew Faith and Never Look Back”

My current State of Affairs

It is April 16, 2020. Exactly a month ago I temporarily shutdown my ESPIRITUSANTO MASSAGE office in downtown Pleasanton due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I did need a little break from my physically demanding career as an owner/practitioner of massage but this is more than I expected. The California Massage Therapy Council in conjunction withContinue reading “My current State of Affairs”
