More about me

I like peace and quiet.

I could play guitar for about 4 hours while waiting in a long line.

My family is number one.

Friends are an inspiration.

If I had to do it all over again, I'd change a little....trust God more, serve God more and probably invest a little and leave it alone.

I want to keep spreading the Good News, keep on learning, reading and exercising, but not forget about eating the right things.

I admire individuality. Joel Osteen, Pope John Paul, Arnold Swartzenegger, Hillary Clinton, and Bill Richardson.

Money Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth. Don't worry about food For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?

My theology. Jesus has the best Plan, why be miserable? Christians aren’t perfect, nor will we every be. We are human and because of our sinful nature we will continue to have the same challenges and temptations that non-Christians have. The only difference is that we have accepted God’s son to fight our battles. I repent of my sins and I ask for forgiveness. He was crucified and died so that we can be freed from sin. It’s not real complicated, just accept him! Study his word and pray. God bless YOU. Praise God Vagodelaplaya
