By: Gabriela Yareliz I think I got my REM sleep last night. We must repeat this. While doing readings, briefing and making sure I don’t lapse into a fugly look, I still listen to NPR.

Politicizing Religion
By: Gabriela Yareliz There is an 11-year-old girl being held for possible blasphemy for potentially having burned pages of the Koran in Pakistan. An 11-year-old girl?Really? That is terrible.

Christ said to Martha at the grave ofContinue reading “Instructions on prayer”
Overcome for today
By: Gabriela Yareliz I wanted to share this thought from my devotional today. “The truth of God received into the heart is able to make you wise unto salvation.
