1 Tim 1:15

"Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners--of whom I am the worst."

 Please write your thoughts on this verse. I had always thought that Paul the apostle was the only one who had the right to say things like "I am the worst of sinners," or "I am the least of all the believers." But this verse shook that idea and exposed my heart. What do you think of this verse? How does it apply to life? I have by no means grasped this one yet. How can I apply this to my life and attitudes? 


I like this quote on the same line of thought 


"To think nothing of one's self, and always to think well and highly of others, is great wisdom." Oh to be like Jesus who was a servant of all! Who wants "this" holiness?? For truly this is the depths of holiness and death to self to consider others better than ourselves. Where the love of Christ abounds in us to all men. - Words from Thomas A Kempis as quoted by Greg Gordon of sermonindex.net

Wow Everything is so Exciting!!!

After the initial, "Wow Everything is so Exiting and New".

Comes the mundane and the schedule and the same week in and week out.  It is not quite that bad but I begin my day in the Radio every morning where I am a DJ during the morning show. Then I go to lunch with a co-worker called Severiano. And then I take a little siesta and I have to then work on some aspect of the Chicken Project

I have been given little to start with because it is all I can handle and God knows that. I seek to be faithful in little and God will give me more.

The Chicken Project for those who are wondering involves house visits and financial accounting and the thinking of how to make this go forward and how to plan the future of the project. And buying food in bulk and guidance as to the way they plan their individual homes for the chickens. To tell you the truth as flashy as the homes we built were they had much to be desired so in the future we will do things some little bit different and help put more contextual coops in.

The Radio is a Christian radio here. My job is to choose good music and control the volume during the show with Cielo and Norberto as they talk about God, the news, and interesting things such as the benefits of green tea as opposed to black. But in the end the gospel and practical instruction on family and relationships are the most important things here.


What we have to do is build relationships and then the ordinary becomes very pleasing. The relationships build until eventually you can help someone by dealing with deeper issues.

The world is full of hurting people who desperately need to open up their lives to the light of God and we can help bring that light if indeed we walk in light.

I am not much of anything and every day I see myself as less and less as I see more and more of the Words of Christ. But I am what I am only by the grace of God.
