I am a short-term pessimist. To be honest many times I worry and then pray rather than pray and not worry. Yesterday was particularly rough. I told you of my friend who now has cancer and his ex-wife who yesterday had a 10 hour surgery because she also…

USA Vice-president Harris arrived in Guatemala yesterday to look into the causes for so many immigrants leaving Central America. I can tell her why right now. It is poverty and violence. Yesterday a bus, a dump truck, a car and a motorcycle collided resulting in 5 deaths. Carlos’s…

A few minutes before I was called and told that Carlos 1 from years past had to rush their baby to ICU last night the Lord changed my sermon as I stood in the pulpit. I preached on my two favorite verses. They are Mark 9:23-24 and 9:29.…
