Life is Too Short


Life is too short for angry and/or unspoken words. Our world can turn upside down in a heartbeat... Don't assume your words don't hurt, and don't assume your loved ones know what they mean to you. Life isn't easy, and often we have to go out of our comfort zone and just have a little faith... Don't live in your regrets... Don't let the sun go down on hate filled words, and don't let those whom you care about ever think for a moment that you don't love them. Our time here is Limited and we need to learn to make the most of it; make a change, save a life. One of the best ways to show love to those around you is telling them the truth... telling them of Christ, and His love for us, and his Gift to man. Open the door to them, so that they may have a chance, and have Faith that the Lord will work on their hearts, and help them step through. Plant the seed... you never know when the slightest sight of concern or love can save a life... 
 "In the morning when I rise, When I am alone, and When I come to die, Give me Jesus."
The Lord's plan is sovereign and perfect, and we have nothing to fear or lose, but everything to gain...  I recently lost a close friend from college- and if there was one thing he taught me- it was to live life with no regrets- and in Everything give God the glory... Such a simple yet beautiful song, that he actually introduced me to, was "Give Me Jesus"... He told me the greatest gift He had ever received was Jesus, and the greatest gift we as Children of God can give, is to Share Jesus and His Love. Though losing a friend was hard, I knew he was where he wanted to be(with God), and I realized it wasn't "Goodbye" simply, "so long for now"... Unfortunately, not all lose comes with that peace... I know what it's like, to lose a friend and a loved one, and not be sure if they knew the Lord and not be sure if they knew what they meant to me. It hard, and it breaks you... It's why I have decided to share the amazing gift of Christ with whoever I can whenever I can, no matter what! I of all people hate confrontation; i hate any sense of awkwardness or discomfort, but I know now, that if I truly love the person, no matter how awkward it may make it or how angry they may be towards me, I have to tell them the truth; I have to tell them of the savior so that I at least can say that I tried... All i can do is plant the seed, and leave the rest to Christ...

Joyful Noise

Phil. 4:4- "Rejoice in the Lord always". Often times people view this verse as unrealistic. "well God, how can I rejoice when my mother has cancer." or "how can I rejoice when my brother is in prison?" God will always find a way to bring good out of evil. Think to the story of Joseph. His brothers literally were the reason he spent years away from his family, in and out of prison, never knowing if he would live to see another day. His life was full of ups and downs- from being the Pharaoh's right hand man, to being thrown in prison based on false accusations of rape, to becoming Prime Minister and saving several Egyptians and his own family. Joseph says to his brother in Gen 50:20-21- "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. So then, don;t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children." God turned a horrible situation, into something good, and

Jeremiah 1:5

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart"- Jeremiah 1:5 So, I know this may step on some toes - but I’ve got to get something off my chest. I do not understand how Christians can justify being Pro-choice. I mean, how can you, with good conscious, face God on judgement day and tell Him that you supported the murder of His children. I mean, please explain to me how it is not murder in your eyes. I just cannot see how Christians justify this act when scripture is clear about the killing of other human beings. And how can we have the arrogance to pretend to know when a child in the womb is officially a "person"? Do we really think we have the right to make that call? I mean, for goodness' sake, not to be that person, but we literally arrest and fine people for destroying Bald Eagle Eggs- fertilized eggs- just like the baby inside of me. I had someone tell me today that because I was only 10 weeks along I

What's in a name by Falaniko Medrano and Rafaela Roark

What’s in a name by Niko Medrano What does your name mean?” I’ve been asked this several times. “Falaniko” is certainly a unique name. Unfortunately, its translation doesn’t mean anything particularly interesting. It is the Samoan variant of the name “Francis”, which basically just means “from France”. Not only is this rather dull, but it’s also untrue of me. I am most definitely not “from France”. ... But my name does carry more meaning than its translation. It is found in the person whom I was indirectly named after: my Abuelo, or Grandfather. I had heard stories about him ever since I was little. I couldn’t recall them all perfectly, but I had heard enough to have a great respect for the man. What stuck with me weren’t the exciting stories from his difficult and crazy life, but rather his integrity, honesty, compassion, and most importantly, his love of the Lord. My parents wanted to name me after him. “Francisco” was his name. However, there were already plenty of other Franci
