By: Gabriela Yareliz I am a big fan of music that makes some sort of political statement or commentary. It turns out the ‘Gangnam Style’ revolution is really deeper than a good dance song.

Hispanic Heritage: Chico and Rita
By: Gabriela Yareliz In honor of Hispanic Heritage, I continue to post some cultural bits. On NPR, I listened to an interview, with Fernando Trueba, about Chico and Rita, a film about pre-revolution Cuba. It was absolutely inspiring, and the music sounds so exquisite and dreamy.

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”
