Get Out of Your Head!

October 9, 2024October 12, 2024 / Joe Rodriguez / 1 Comment

Sometimes, what we need in order to be unburdened is to get out of our own heads (worries, mistrust, doubts, fears) and into our lives. We get to do this thing called LIFE only once. To understand its true value and worth we first need to thank God for gifting us with it. Then we … Continue reading Get Out of Your Head!

The Things Which Are Not

September 27, 2024September 28, 2024 / Joe Rodriguez / Leave a comment

As it is written: I have made you a father to many nations, even before God whom you have believed, who gives life to the dead, and calls those things which are not, as though they were. Romans 4:17 I came across the above image on a Facebook post. The accompanying comment was, "This is … Continue reading The Things Which Are Not

Sometimes We Are The Mountain

August 6, 2024August 8, 2024 / Joe Rodriguez / Leave a comment

Jesus replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20 Mountains are some of the most incredible wonders of our … Continue reading Sometimes We Are The Mountain

||| – Game Over

September 26, 2021October 13, 2021 / Joe Rodriguez / 1 Comment

We don’t get several lives to come back and change the outcome of our bad choices; we have only the one, then it is “game over.” So, choosing to live prudently and wisely does not only benefits us in the here an now, but also in the eternal here after.

Spiritual Ninja

Be on guard, keep awake. For you do not know when the time will come.Mark 13:33 ESV Action movies are my favorite, especially those with superheroes. The more fighting, the better! I realize that not everyone is keen on watching violent movies (different strokes for different folks). However, as true followers of Jesus Christ, we are … Continue reading Spiritual Ninja

I Stand in Awe of You!

“You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds, God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas, who formed the mountains by your power, having armed yourself with strength, who stilled the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations. … Continue reading I Stand in Awe of You!

If I Could Slow Down Time

March 27, 2021December 24, 2023 / Joe Rodriguez / 4 Comments

You may or may not be familiar with the late 80s song by Cher titled "If I Could Turn Back Time". If you are, you have probably sung its chorus while reminiscing on a past pleasant experience or while wishing you could go back and do some things differently. I know I have, but I … Continue reading If I Could Slow Down Time

Immersive

March 5, 2021March 6, 2021 / Joe Rodriguez / 7 Comments

Last week, right after one of our family dinners, our son Joshua invited my wife Mari and I to preview "Old Time Religion," his very first mod for the game Fallout 4. Don't feel bad if you have no idea what a mod is or never heard of Fallout 4. We didn't until last week. … Continue reading Immersive

The All-Knowing “They”

July 21, 2020December 8, 2020 / Joe Rodriguez / 1 Comment

Most likely you or someone you know has occasionally used these two words in a conversation, "THEY say...". I hear them frequently in our home and I would be lying if I said that I've never used them myself, but cross my heart, my better half beats me to it. Like with most people, when … Continue reading The All-Knowing “They”

Cracker Jack, Captain Crunch, and Christ Jesus

May 7, 2020January 15, 2022 / Joe Rodriguez / 5 Comments

Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves." - John 6:26 Unfortunately, the faith that many proclaim to have in Jesus is limited, obscured, and misguided due to their lack of spiritual discipline. That is why … Continue reading Cracker Jack, Captain Crunch, and Christ Jesus
