Six Sushi Years

After 6 wonderful years of marriage Allison and I realized we have only begun to know each other. But sushi is still one of our favorite foods. We spent a couple of hours talking and being drawn into each others' eyes. I love you Allie.

God can't do something...

There is something that God cannot do: He cannot give us up.



Hos 11:8 - How shall I give you up, O Ephraim?
How shall I deliver you up, O Israel?
How can I make you like Admah?
How can I treat you like Zeboim?
My heart is turned within Me;
All My compassions have warmed.

The leading part of our human spirit

The Bible speaks a great deal about the human spirit because our spirit is the key to experiencing the divine Spirit. It is the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit and the organ by which we continue to receive the Spirit. Our spirit has three parts—the conscience, fellowship, and intuition. Because the conscience is the leading part of the spirit, it must be properly maintained by confession. A purified conscience helps the other parts of our inward being to function properly and keeps the Lord flowing within us. 

The spirit is a complete unit, composed of three parts or functions: conscience, fellowship, and intuition. 

The conscience is the leading part of our spirit. A transparent conscience will bring us into the presence of the Lord, resulting in a living fellowship with Him. Through this living fellowship, it is easy for our spirit to sense the will of God directly—this is the function of the intuition.

Romans 8:2-3, 11, 13

Rom.
8:2-3
For the law of the Spirit of life has freed me in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and of death....God, sending His own Son in the likeness of the flesh of sin and concerning sin, condemned sin in the flesh.
11
And if the Spirit of the One who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who indwells you.
13
...If by the Spirit you put to death the practices of the body, you will live.

1 Corinthians 1:5-9

That in everything you were enriched in Him, in all utterance and all knowledge,...so that you do not lack in any gift, eagerly awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will also confirm you until the end unreprovable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

To the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, the called saints, with all those who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, who is theirs and ours.

Good Reading Weather.

What a wonderful day to stay inside and read!

Allison and I are curled up on the couch with our books and Puerto Rican coffee.

I am so glad I don't have to work today.

2 Corinthians 2:14-16 RcV

But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in the Christ and manifests the savor of the knowledge of Him through us in every place. For we are a fragrance of Christ to God in those who are being saved and in those who are perishing: To some a savor out of death unto death, and to the others a savor out of life unto life....

Luke 16:9-13

And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of the [1]wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it fails, they will receive you into the eternal dwellings. "He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much. Therefore if you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous wealth, who will entrust the true riches to you? And if you have not been faithful in the use of that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own? No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth."

God's Goal

Even when we can see God's goal, we always need Him for the next step.

Luke 15:11-24

And He said, "A man had two sons. The younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the share of the estate that falls to me.' So he divided his wealth between them. And not many days later, the younger son gathered everything together and went on a journey into a distant country, and there he squandered his estate with loose living.

Foco Jugo de Coco

With real tender coconut bits.
I expected better flavor, more like coconut milk and less like the tin can it came in.

Luke 14:26-30

If anyone comes to Me and does not hate ... even his own soul-life, he cannot be My disciple. Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.

For which of you, wanting to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? Lest perhaps, once he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all those looking on will begin to mock him, Saying, This man began to build and was not able to finish.
