When it feels like you are on ‘pause’

Compiled by: Gabriela Yareliz “Not without design does God write the music of our lives. Be it ours to learn the tune, and not be dismayed at the “rests.” They are not to be slurred over, not to be omitted, not to destroy the melody, not to change the keynote.

Oswald on prayer…

Found by: Gabriela Yareliz I always appreciate and love his quotes… He is one of those people who encourages us to keep praying.

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”

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”
