By: Gabriela Yareliz We meet again… it is hot outside. Let me rephrase: HOT. The best thing about a car with no AC is the fact that the open window suffices to blow you away. I look like some random gypsy today with a scarf around my head–I think I scared the Subway guy. Poor fellow.Continue reading “Unknown”

The Picture of Dorian Gray & Sensuality
By: Gabriela Gonzalez Why is it that things like pleasure, beauty and art end up leaving us empty and guilty? I found a fascinating book/play on the topic. It is a short play, a fictional conversation between Oscar Wilde, known for his if it feels good, do it philosophy; Blaise Pascal, the brilliant mathematician, andContinue reading “The Picture of Dorian Gray & Sensuality”

Our greatest downfall
By: Gabriela Yareliz Based on Pastor Alejandro Bullon’s message at the Spanish Florida Campmeeting 2012. When looking at other people, we will often point out… hmm that person is a thief or a murderer. This is how we scale evil and wrong in society. It is all by actions that we can point out wrongs. Now ifContinue reading “Our greatest downfall”
My failed interviews
By: Gabriela Yareliz Last day of class folks. Yup. People are marching into the 24-hour libraries with pillows under their arms. I am not kidding. I thought I would take a moment today, it being the last day of class and everything, to explain my plight as a journalist these past three years interviewing peopleContinue reading “My failed interviews”
Smooth Sailing
“She had the perpetual sense, as she watched the taxi cabs, of being out, out, far out to sea and alone; she always had the feeling that it was very, very, dangerous to live even one day.” ― Virginia Woolf, Mrs. Dalloway By: Gabriela Yareliz This book is probably the weirdest one that has madeContinue reading “Smooth Sailing”
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. Lewis quote: “I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often sayContinue reading “Worthy is the Lamb”
To Praise
Translation by: Gabriela Yareliz /God doesn’t reject a prayer, Prayer is nurishment. I have never seen a just one, one of His children, left without an answer or left in suffering. Its enough to wait and see what God will do when you lift your hands; it is time to gain victory. Simply praise Him;Continue reading “To Praise”
