My Gideons Bible

This morning I woke up feeling very unenthusiastic and dull. Sometimes it's hard for me to just wake up and realize that I should be thankful that I'm even breathing! However, when I made it to work I remembered that I have a responsibility to 'keep at it' and to give testimony of all the Great things that our Lord Jesus Christ, has done for me. I glanced over my desk and noticed that sitting in front of me was my Gideons Bible. This little bible has served as a very important tool in leading me to Christ. I remember the first time I met a Gideon. It was on the campus at NTCC, where I presently work at(How cool). The man came up to me and just put it in my hands, I looked up and thought to myself, "Well, that was nice...kind of weird, but nice". That day, I walked away not knowing how important this bible was going to be for my salvation.

Gotta keep at it!

This morning was a great morning. God allowed me to wake up and spend another day with the people I love the most, my family. While getting ready for work today. I noticed how beautifully and innocently my children and wife slept. I thought to myself, "God, oh how much you blessed me". I suddenly got a feeling, that I consider to be one of the best feelings in the world, I felt joy. I felt joyful because I have been blessed by the lord in many ways. Along with that feeling, I also remembered how much I have let him down. I thought about the things that I haven't been doing, which is spreading his word. When I started this blog, it was meant for the sole purpose to spread the word of God and to help people realize that Jesus is alive! To be honest, I have fallen short of that. So this blog serves as an encouragement to myself to 'keep at it' and never stop using every type of communication to spread his word.

Long time no blog

Well guys, its been awhile since I last dropped a blog, so I'm a bit rusty. Anyways, today has been going very smooth for me. My day started with a long drive to Tyler from Mount Pleasant,Tx, about 1 hour and 3o min drive. Then I got to work and I had the privilege to manage/oversee the content for UT Tyler's Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Blogs. I feel very lucky to have the responsibility of influencing all prospective students to attend The University of Texas at Tyler! I guess you can say, " I heart my job" lol -until next time!

Productivity = feeling of accomplishment

I am the supervisor of the Student Communications Team at UT Tyler and today, I felt proud of my team for doing so great in helping prospective students planning to attend The University of Texas at Tyler. The team is comprised of 10 fun and energetic students that contact students via phone, email, blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace. Overall, we all did our part to stay on top of things, which is why I felt a feeling of accomplishment today.

Desvelado

How funny is it when you are listening to a song named "Desvelado", which translates into "Sleepless"? And you are doing just that-burning the midnight oil. It is already past 1:30 am and I seem to not have interest in sleeping. I figured this song would be appropriate to play, right? The song is in Spanish-of course. Its a very romantic track I enjoy listening to it because it reminds me of my beautiful wife. Every time this song plays she quickly informs me how much she loves it...so it makes me think of her.

What to do when your afraid

Ever been afraid of something? Of course, it is totally natural for everyone to have a fear of something. Some have great big fears and some have little bitty fears, whatever it may be. However, Jesus Christ teaches in whom we shall fear illustrated in the following passage; "But I will show you whom you should fear: fear Him who, after he has killed, has power to into hell: yes I say to you, fear Him."- Luke 12:5...So, in whom shall you fear?

A Christian Lifestyle

Ever wonder how a "true" christian should live their lifestyle? It seems like nowadays it gets harder and harder to be truley devoted to christ. Temptation after tempation every single day! Man, I might be the only one out there that feels this way...it seems like everyone is set on one goal in life...that is to make money. Money is the root of all evil! Sometimes I wish we could still live in the old times, when people would trade one sheep or goat for 10 furs. How should one live? As the good book states, "we should present ourselves as living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God- Romans 12-1,2.
