Everyday there’s a new movement. Some new headline to get caught up in. Sad thing is, some are important issues, or are related to important issues, but people–actors, models, politicians, and regular joe’s, alike–get caught up in their own personal, but also very PUBLIC, agendas. They don’t accomplish much of anything. The boycott is a … Continue reading Boycott

Routine Prayer
Most nights are pretty predictable at my house. I get home after the gym. Eat a quick meal while the kids do some last minute running around, screaming and playing hide and seek with their baby brother. Get the bottles of milk ready for baby David, or Toddler David, I don't know really it sounds … Continue reading Routine Prayer
Being a Good Human is Hard Enough
Each morning I wake up easy enough. Then again, I suppose I shouldn't say "easy". I toss and turn and SNOOZE 3,4,5 times? And like quicksand, the more I resist the deeper I sink. I mean "easy" in that for the most part we don't have to think much about your actions. MORNING ROUTINE 1: … Continue reading Being a Good Human is Hard Enough
Terribulence
On a flight to Vegas. Pilot comes on over the p.a. in a barely there, muffled voice to let us know to buckle up because it's gonna get a little bumpy for the next 10 minutes or so. "Please fasten your seat belts and remain seated until the fasten seatbelt sign is turned off." The … Continue reading Terribulence
God’s Mercy: The Shrimp Boat
5 de Junio 1980 Port of Mariel, Cuba ---------- Many waited in the large room. Among them, my parents and sister—only 10 months old at the time—my aunt, uncle and cousin.

“Perfectly Inconsistent”
Do you know any "perfect" Christians? Me neither!I'm not perfect, but rather often inconsistent. Does that mean I should just give up, and not pray anymore? Or just stop talking about God or giving His advice because people will question me and my level of "Christianity"?Why? Because I make mistakes, because I curse and make jokes … Continue reading “Perfectly Inconsistent”
A Happy Meal?
Several months ago, I took my daughter to Mcdonald's after a doctor's visit. (Probably NOT the healthiest option, but it made her smile after getting some routine bloodwork.) It's not called a Happy Meal for nothing. She unpacked her happy meal, chicken nuggets, fries, and a cheeseburger with no pickles. Using the fries as teeth, … Continue reading A Happy Meal?
Time Travel
Sometimes, you do things you don't regret; Nevertheless, can never forget. Life's not black and white; Rather, decays into greens and browns and grays. Often, not right or wrong; Least wrong can still feel farthest from right. Don't dwell, time traveler. Though ends don't justify the means, You can't live presently in the past. Move … Continue reading Time Travel
Church
Recently my daughter's teacher asked me if we go to church? My son and daughter attend a private Christian School, and I wondered hesitantly if she was asking because one of them had done something wrong. But then I thought, I do go to church everday. Every morning when I wake up and thank God … Continue reading Church
