By: Gabriela Yareliz Hello dear ones, I am in a new city for the summer…ahh, yes, summer intern. I am in an Ernest Hemingway kind of mood this week.

Good Friday
The spotless Son of God hung upon the cross, His flesh lacerated with stripes; those hands so often reached out in blessing, nailed to the wooden bars; those feet so tireless on ministries of love, spiked to the tree; that royal head pierced by the crown of thorns; those quivering lips shaped to the cryContinue reading “Good Friday”

Shadow Men
Jason: “Only a God can save us”? Archie: I didn’t say some preacher could. But what a story. Jason: Story? Archie: The Jesus thing. God, the Creator of the universe, becoming a man, suffering worse than any person suffered, suffering an injustice worse than any of us can suffer? Incredible! I forgot that’s what ChristiansContinue reading “Shadow Men”
Selena Forever
