Tio Freddy

By: Gabriela Yareliz When I was a child, I loved a Sabbath lunch at my Uncle (tio) Freddy’s house. His house was a magical and mysterious one. Each room had a theme and color scheme.

Prayer PSA

This is your prayer PSA. I loved reading this as my devotional. A beautiful reminder: “Prayer in Acts is never polite or passive. It’s the mechanism by which ordinary, frightened people access an extraordinary, unshakable God. So, where are you feeling the pressure today?

I Was Pulled By An Angel In Times Square (Of All Places— I Know)

By: Gabriela Yareliz I am pretty sure I met my guardian angel today. It was a commute like any other. Kindle in hand, and noise everywhere. My train was four minutes away. I like to stand in an area of the platform where the police usually stands, next to a shed structure in the middle,Continue reading “I Was Pulled By An Angel In Times Square (Of All Places— I Know)”
