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

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.

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.

The Wheel of Blame

April 8, 2020January 26, 2022 / Joe Rodriguez / 1 Comment

Are you familiar with the game show Wheel of Fortune? Have you ever wished you could be a contestant spinning the wheel?

Speak Kindly or Remain Silent

March 1, 2020September 13, 2022 / Joe Rodriguez / 2 Comments
