Vía láctea sobre el Volcán de Pacaya.
Como todas esas noches, el frío saludaba a todo el valle; las horas transcurrían y el cielo anunciaba que me hallaría, puso su huella, un detalle, un hermoso detalle; la estrella fugaz se tatuó en mi corazón.
Con solo hablar
creaste las galaxias con tu voz
y tú aliento a los planetas forma dio
si los cielos te adoran yo también...
No todo en la vida es felicidad, hay momentos difíciles, hoy para mi es un día de esos. Encontrar estas imágenes en mis archivos me recuerda que nada es fácil y hay momentos difíciles, pero cuando logras sobreponerte y vencerlos, hay una cima que te espera y allí todo es mejor.
Cuando subo volcanes regularmente tengo el mismo problema, ¿me permites? te explico.
No soy el tipo de persona que sube solo por admirar el paisaje, de hecho los admiro y respeto; más bien como un buen número de amigos que conozco, queremos llevar en un recuerdo, no solo en nuestra retina, sino en nuestras cámaras y tener esos archivos digitales.
Entonces, al equipo de montaña habitual, súmale trípode, memorias, baterías, cámara, lentes y otros accesorios fotográficos, eso para nosotros es lo mínimo que subimos o debemos subir y aún así, estando allá, nos damos cuenta que falto algo.
Con gratitud en el corazón, esa que se refleja en los ojos y en la sonrisa, inicio con la toma de las imágenes, clic por acá, clic por allá y de repente, te llega este momento (el del amanecer, hora al que fue tomada la imagen que acompaña este texto), ¿qué hacer?, al lado izquierdo la salida del sol justo a un lado del volcán de Agua y al lado derecho el volcán de Fuego en actividad; benditas decisiones, ¿a qué le tomo la fotografía?
Ese es mi problema, he dejado ir momentos mágicos que no puedo fotografiar, muchas veces pienso que la decisión que tomé no fue la correcta, por eso necesito muchas escaladas más y estoy seguro como siempre que allí "Amanecerá tu gloria".

A quick snap shot from my car. Saw this beautiful burst and had to pull over to shoot it.

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Christian testimonies | God’s Blessings: I May Not Be Rich, but I’m Very Fortunate
One day, I read these words of God : “What God wants to see is that man’s heart can be revived. These ways that He uses to work on man are to continually awaken the heart of man, awaken man’s spirit, letting man know where they came from, who is guiding them, supporting them, providing for them, and who has allowed man to live up till now; they are to let man know who is the Creator, whom they should worship, what kind of road they should walk, and in what way man should come before God; they are used to gradually revive the heart of man, so man knows God’s heart, understands God’s heart, and comprehends the great care and thought behind His work to save man. When man’s heart is revived, they no longer wish to live the life of a degenerate, corrupt disposition, but instead wish to pursue the truth in the satisfaction of God. When man’s heart has been awakened, they are then able to make a clean break with Satan, no longer to be harmed by Satan, no longer to be controlled or fooled by it. Instead, man can cooperate in God’s work and in His words in a positive way to satisfy the heart of God, thus attaining fear of God and the shunning of evil. This is the original purpose of God’s work” (“God Himself, the Unique VI” in The Word Appears in the Flesh). Only after my experiences did I finally understand that God had arranged these situations to awaken my heart and my spirit, and to get me to follow the right path in life of obeying God, fearing God and shunning evil, and to live in God’s blessings—all this was God’s painstaking effort! I thought back to what I’d gone through, from sinking into the quagmire of money and getting a serious illness to having the fortune to hear God’s gospel of the last days and coming before God, then once again going in pursuit of money and getting caught in Satan’s net. My brothers and sisters gave me fellowship about God’s words, I came to have some knowledge of the fact of God’s sovereignty over mankind’s destiny, and I also came to have some knowledge of Satan’s wicked purpose in using heretical fallacies to corrupt people, and only then did I begin to let go of money little by little, and I understood that only practicing God’s words and submitting to God’s sovereignty was the right path to follow in life…. In order to awaken my heart and to save me from being harmed by Satan, God paid such a painstaking price for me and He showed me mercy. Every step I took, whether I listened and was obedient, or whether I rebelled against and shunned God, God always used the most suitable means to save me. I truly came to appreciate how real God’s love is and how beautiful and good God’s heart is! Were it not for God’s salvation, I’d still be living in Satan’s snare, caught in a whirlpool of money, completely unaware of what Satan’s harm was turning me into. Coming to this appreciation of God’s love, I had a deep sense of what a true honor and what good fortune it was for me to be able to come before God—God had graced me and showed me favor! I wished only to spend more time and energy in the future attending gatherings, reading God’s words and worshiping God, to arm myself more with the truth, and to perform my duty well to repay God’s love. Thank God and praise Him!

Para mí, ésta es una muestra más de su amor, hace años ya que me brindo su amistad y su amor, me regalo su salvación, gracia y favor. Gracias Jesús
Está fue mi oficina ayer y hoy, amo lo que hago, me apasiona, y aún así; me pagan por ello. Dios es fiel a sus promesas. Si tú creación te alaba, yo también. Dios puso una oficina de lujo para mí.

Christian testimonies | Who Was It That Rescued Her Marriage? (Audio Essay)
She had just turned twenty, she had a graceful figure and appeared as pretty as a flower, and there were many suitors pursuing her. But she didn’t pay this any mind until one day when her friend invited her to come out and she by chance met Lin. Lin was almost 6 feet tall, he was tall and handsome, with a dignified bearing. He spoke with humor and with wit, and was able to attract her in an instant. And Lin too was quite interested in her. The two of them started seeing each other very soon, and after a few months they got married. Before long they had a child of their own, and this made her feel very blessed. But good things don’t last forever. Just when she was starting to enjoy everything and long for a beautiful future, she discovered that Lin was not engaging in honest work every day. All day long he was idling about, and he would even go out often and get in fights and gamble. When he returned home, he would pick out faults with her no matter if there was something going on or not. He simply did not care for her or their child. She did not understand why Lin was acting this way. Many times with eyes full of tears she would urge Lin to walk the correct path, but not only did Lin not listen, he would even lash out at her, and one time he even went so far as to nearly choke her to death. She had lost all hope in Lin. Before long, Lin got sentenced to prison for breaking the law, and she had to support herself and their one-and-a-half-year-old child on her own. Her life was full of hardships and dashed hopes. It wasn’t until 2003, when Lin completed his prison sentence and was released, that she was finished with this painful marriage.

Allí estaba intentando creer lo que mis ojos estaban observando, era perfecto, era mi momento, Dios lo hizo para mi. Intentaba ver cada detalle, pero eran demasiados. Cuan inmenso, interminable, incontrolable amor de Dios.

(Go ahead....smash the L key)
Yesterday I met up with Mike Jones and we drove up to Wright's Lake for sunset. From the valley we could see the beautiful cloud formations stacked up over the sierras so our hopes were high. As the evening progressed the tall poofy clouds moved and the sky transformed into long streaky clouds. (That's the scientific name for them...they are also known as "swoopty-doo" clouds)
It was a nice sunset.
REALLY....NICE.
I took a ridiculous number of shots and after much deliberation I finally decided to process one of the last clicks of the day. It was pretty dark at this point so I wasn't able to bring up much shadow detail, but I kinda like the moody contrasty feel of it.
When I go out shooting I ALWAYS ask the Lord for an amazing light show. He always answers my prayers. Sometimes the answer is "no". Sometimes it's "wait". I think this time the answer was......."ok, this one's for Mikey"
Todas las cosas por él fueron hechas, el pequeño número de estrellas que podemos percibir entre los millones de millones que existen, nos da una idea de las débil percepción que tenemos del poder y del amor de Dios. ¿Cómo medir cuánto nos ama ?

I found out that to follow Christ', I need to carry the cross as well. It is hard & heavy but I have to believe that I can. For He said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."
So we may say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?" Hebrews 3:5, 6
And some of you had written me telling that you have had problems too. And it's one thing we all share. We all have problems. We only differ in how we face them. Few are strong. Some are doing fine. And probably, a lot are weak.
We just need to believe that God will help us. That God will never give us problems that we cannot solve. We should ask Him all the time for answers through prayers. And since He created us, He knows our needs even before we ask Him. And He will provide them in time of His choosing. Just have faith and be strong and be patient.
So, we do need God. And I've heard that God is Good. Amen.

Why do we call it ‘Good’ Friday?
Calling the day of the Crucifixion ‘Good’ Friday is a designation that is peculiar to the English language. In German, for example, it is called Karfreitag. The Kar part is an obsolete word, the ancestor of the English word care in the sense of cares and woes, and it meant mourning. So in German, it is Mourning Friday. And that is what the disciples did on that day—they mourned. They thought all was lost.
I’ve read that the word good used to have a secondary meaning of holy, but I can’t trace that back in my etymological dictionary. There are a number of cases in set phrases where the words God and good got switched around because of their similarity. One case was the phrase God be with you, which today is just good-bye. So perhaps Good Friday was originally God’s Friday. But I think we call it Good Friday because, in pious retrospect, all that tragedy brought about the greatest good there could be.
I can see virtue in either terminology. If we call it Mourning Friday, as in German, we are facing reality head on, taking up the cross if you will, fully conscious that the Christian walk is seldom a walk in the park. But if we call it Good Friday, as in English, we are confessing the Christian hope that no tragedy—not even death—can overwhelm God’s providence, love, and grace. Either way seems fine to me!
