Worse Than Swine Flu

Mexican citizens are ordered to stay home. The US now has 100 confirmed cases in 11 states. I wonder how big this will get. How long will it take to contain? Will it turn into a worldwide pandemic?
I don’t know.
But it made me think recently about another epidemic that all of humanity is struggling [...]

Marriage and Guns

I love my wife. We have enjoyed over eleven years of marriage.
Today is Monday; it’s my day off. So tonight is our date night. Right after school we take the kids to Abuela’s and then we head off on a date, which usually includes a nice meal, maybe a fun activity, and a great conversation.
Tonight [...]

When you hear that alarm go off in the morning, instead of hitting SNOOZE and than rolling over and putting your face in the pillow, hit SNOOZE and then hit your knees. Say a nine minute prayer.

Resurrection Wrap-Up

What an amazing day yesterday was! The worship team sounded great, Pastor Pedro’s message was awesome, the auditorium looked amazing, many people got saved. There were so many servants who worked hard to make it all happen. You guys all did an amazing job. It was truly an example of 1 Corinthian 12 – all [...]

Countdown to Resurrection Day

Today I have two meetings in preparation for Easter Sunday. We will be having two easter services at the West Campus. It will be a glorious time. Pastor Pedro has been working on his message and is really looking forward to being with the flock this Sunday.
Lord, we pray that you would use these services [...]
