By: Gabriela Yareliz I have had this on my mind recently: What is life really about, if not being a reflection of God’s love, character and image?

#Neighbors
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s funny how when you live in an apartment building, you know your neighbors.

The only thing that could spoil a day was people and if you could keep from making engagements, each day had no limits. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good asContinue reading “False Spring”
Do you have any idea…
what we are going through? New York is under a mattress of snow. I have seen people try to get out of their parallel parking spots and slam into the car behind them. I have seen people try to park between mountains of snow. Some guys were shoveling today outside of the church, and theContinue reading “Do you have any idea…”
