Final Days

By: Gabriela Yareliz No time to sleep. No time to brush your hair. No time to do laundry. No time. It is that time; end of the semester. Teachers’ demands reach their highest level of impossibility (wink) and they ask for what seems impossible, and we, the students, look sleep deprived and zombie-esque. Sad story. A girlContinue reading “Final Days”

Worthy is the Lamb

By:Gabriela Yareliz I heard a pastor not to long ago talk about who Jesus was. There is much dispute as to who He is. A good man? A good teacher? What He said reminded me of the C.S.

Knowing Truth by fruits and holiness

By: Gabriela Yareliz PART III So this piece is a bit long; I understand. Time runs short these days, but I encourage you, if you are interested in these topics of peace, philosophy and belief, to read it. I wouldn’t spend time typing this out if I didn’t think this was important. I have dividedContinue reading “Knowing Truth by fruits and holiness”

He crossed His hands

Recollection by: Gabriela Yareliz- Based on Steve Riley’s sermon at the Florida Conference Campmeeting. Riley is the Senior Pastor of Stanmore Avenue Church in Port of Spain, Trinidad. Life throws us unexpected things. We don’t always understand what we are going through as we are walking along the journey. Only one thing is true: GodContinue reading “He crossed His hands”
