Don't Give Up, Or Quit

"So let's not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don't give up, or quit. Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all." -- Galatians 6:9-10, The Message You'll note that in the quote above it doesn't say "at the time that we want we will harvest a good crop." It says "at the right time." Have faith, my friends. Keep doing good, even when the shit is flying around yo

Decide to Confide, so I'm on Your Side

"If you are thinking about doing a thing, you ought to make up your mind if you are going to do it, or not do it." -- Malcolm X, The Autobiography of Malcolm X, p. 265 As the old adage goes, actions speak louder than words.

As such, we've become completely desensitized to all but the most brutal, extreme and inhumane. We live in a society characterized by a capitalist economy. As such, we're constantly aware of competition of products, competition for our attention, and -- more to the point -- we sense the compet

Sacrificios => Triunfo

"Para el logro del triunfo siempre ha sido indispensable pasar por la senda de los sacrificios." -- Simón Bolívar Si usted está en esta senda, pues sigue caminando. Recuerde este dicho y mantenga una larga vista, sabiendo que los sacrificios fortalecen a uno y al fin le hace más dulce el triunfo cuando ya está logrado. En mi propio camino, tuve que pasar por algunos sacrificios en los últimos años, que me hizo sentir muy débil por un buen rato antes de que me hizo sent
