to be her Grandmother; because love is all she

sees. We should all strive to show the innocence

of a child-like love towards one another.

NEW DIRECTORIES: New directories are available. Please visit the information table in the kitchen.

Politically we have a tendency to subdivide ourselves into ho-

mogeneous groups. Groups of people we identify with or feel com-

fortable. So we have Mexican-Americans, African-Americans, Italian-

Americans, Chinese-Americans, Japanese-Americans, Polish-

Americans, Indian-Americans, and anything else you can think of.

Are you surprised, then, that we do the same thing religiously?

Catholic-Christians, Baptist-Christians, Evangelical-Christians, Holi-

ness-Christians, even Church of Christ-Christians. No wonder Jesus

prayed for unity of believers. Can’t we all be just plain Christians?

26So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27for all

of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with

Christ. 28There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is

there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29If you be-

long to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to

the promise.

Galatians 3:26-29

Just Pondering

Paul’s Ponders

1 Pedro 4:1 -Por lo tanto, ya que Cristo sufrió dolor en su cuerpo,

ustedes prepárense, adoptando la misma actitud que tuvo él y estén

listos para sufrir también. Pues, si han sufrido físicamente por

Cristo, han terminado con el pecado. Palabras para compartir;

Nuestros pensamientos son los que dirigen nuestro vivir, muchas ve-

ces nos equivocamos en nuestras elecciones y estas nos hacen pasar

un mal momento en nuestras vidas. Nuestros pensamientos rigen

nuestras acciones, nuestras palabras y nuestros habitos. Porque no

dejar que la palabra de DIOS cambie nuestra forma de pensar par-

tiendo del sufrimiento y asi momento, a momento nos vamos con-

formando al sentir de CRISTO.

1 Pedro 2:21 -Pues Dios los llamó a hacer lo bueno, aunque eso

signifique que tengan que sufrir, tal como Cristo sufrió por ustedes.

Él es su ejemplo, y deben seguir sus pasos.

Yo soy tu hermano Gilberto.......
