Allá, donde se oculta el sol
aún más allá
lejos, donde esta el amor
mucho más que el amor
hay un lugar para todo aquel que murió aquí, hay un lugar para todo el que creyó en Ti....
Proverbs 18:2
A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself. (KJV)

Dios me permitió ver la primera lluvia de estrellas del año 2020, visitamos con unos amigos el volcán Chicabal en el altiplano guatemalteco; el intenso frío me acompaño en cada disparo, dificulto el proceso, pero lo logré. Pronto verán más material.
No puedo describir con palabras lo que Dios ha hecho, el cráter Mackenney es una creación perfecta, su morfología es constante.
The greatest gift of all is the gift that God offers to all of us, Himself.
In God, we find absolute prime reality, the unchanging and eternal Rock of Ages, and in knowing God we have a sense of true security.
In God, we find the very essence of self-giving love, and He loves us unconditionally, even as He gives us the power to offer the same to other people.
In God, we find meaning and significance, in that we can become adopted spiritually into His family and we belong to God and in a sense, He belongs to us.
In God, we find that ultimate prime goodness exists in His very nature, the beauty of virtue, the basis of true ethics.
In God, we find deep and lasting joy. This is not the main goal of living in a selfish sense, and there is a danger of idolizing pleasure, but it's a beautiful paradox that we find in seeking the person of God above all other things in a personal relationship.
I wish you all these things for Christmas, and in increasing measure.
God's the "I AM" that we ALL NEED!

A Hymn of God's Words
God's Kingdom Is Established Among Men
I
In the earth and universe,
God's wisdom can be seen.
Among all things and all people,
His wisdom yields fine fruits.
Everything looks like
the product of God's kingdom.
Mankind rests under God's heavens
as sheep in the pastures of God.
God can rest in Zion again;
man can live under God's guidance.
People manage all in the hand of God.
Wisdom and first look,
they regain them after all.
No more dusty, pure as jade,
each with a face like a saint.
For God's kingdom has been
established among all men.
II
God walks above all people,
turning His gaze to look around.
Not one thing is as of old,
not one man is as he was.
God rests upon His throne,
He lies across the universe.
All things regain their sanctity,
and God's heart is satisfied.
God can rest in Zion again;
man can live under God's guidance.
People manage all in the hand of God.
Wisdom and first look,
they regain them after all.
No more dusty, pure as jade,
each with a face like a saint.
For God's kingdom has been
established among all men.

This morning we were shock to hear the news about the tragic death of our cousin Lito Asprec. We will miss you Lito... We know that you are now with our Lord their in heaven.
Testimonies | God’s Attitude Toward Sinners
Some brothers and sisters may raise questions, and will say: “We’ve believed in the Lord for many years and have worked very hard for Him. We can’t count how many churches we’ve established, and we’ve even been sent to prison. So even if we do commit sin, God will surely not abandon us!” If this was truly the case, then wouldn’t those Jewish Pharisees who traveled all over the lands and seas to spread the gospel, and yet defied and condemned the Lord Jesus, all have been able to enter into the kingdom of heaven? Why were they still condemned and cursed by the Lord Jesus? Wasn’t the Lord Jesus the loving and merciful God? How was He still able to condemn and curse them? Moreover, these people worked hard for God, so why didn’t the Lord Jesus pardon their sins? Regarding this question, these words of the Lord Jesus come to mind: “Not every one that said to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out devils? and in your name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess to them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity” (Mat 7:21-23). And a book of truth also says: “Some people will end up saying, ‘I’ve done so much work for You, and though there may not have been celebrated achievements, still I have been diligent in my efforts. Can’t You just let me into heaven to eat the fruit of life?’ You must know what kind of people I desire; those who are impure are not permitted to enter into the kingdom, those who are impure are not permitted to besmirch the holy ground. Though you may have done much work, and have worked for many years, in the end if you are still deplorably filthy—it is intolerable to the law of Heaven that you wish to enter My kingdom!” (“Success or Failure Depends on the Path That Man Walks” in The Word Appears in the Flesh). Reading these words, I suddenly saw the light. It turns out that those who will enter the kingdom of heaven must indeed be those who cast off sin and are cleansed, who follow God’s way, and who obey God, worship God and love God. Those who spread the gospel and cast out demons in the Lord’s name but who don’t follow God’s way are evil-doers in the eyes of God. Just like those Jewish Pharisees—although they appeared pious on the outside, and they worked for God and suffered greatly all their lives, and paid much price, yet when the Lord Jesus incarnated to perform His work of redemption, they refused to accept it, much less submit to or practice the Lord Jesus’ words. Instead, they judged and condemned the Lord Jesus’ work, frantically resisted the Lord, and they even spread notions and rumors to deceive people and obstruct them from accepting the Lord Jesus’ work, and they nailed the Lord Jesus to the cross—by doing this, were they not openly opposing and contesting God? People like this, who simply will not repent, are truly Satan’s partners in crime and are Satan’s lackeys. They worm their way into the church especially to disrupt and demolish God’s work, and people like this have a God-defying essence, they are the enemies of God, and God will never allow hated enemies or the wicked to enter into His kingdom. From this, we are able to see that all who are incapable of practicing God’s words or of obeying God’s work are all unclean and unrighteous; if someone is unable to repent or to cast off their God-defying corrupt disposition, and they go on living in sin, then they are unclean, they are not a righteous person praised by God, but instead they are condemned. The kingdom of heaven is God’s kingdom, and God is holy, so if someone is unclean then how could they be qualified to enter into God’s kingdom and live together with Him? God is merciful and loving to man, but God is also righteous, and will never lead filthy and corrupt people into His kingdom. That is to say, whether or not we can enter into the kingdom of heaven in the end does not depend on how much work we do or how much we suffer, but most importantly it depends on whether or not our corrupt dispositions are changed and cleansed, whether or not we can practice God’s words, do God’s will, and whether or not we are people who love God, obey God and fear God. If we only rely on our own ardor to give things up, expend ourselves, spread the gospel, build churches and support other believers, but our own corrupt dispositions are not changed in the slightest, we still frequently commit sin, defy God and rebel against God, and we are unable to follow God’s way, then we will be evil-doers, and will be unable to enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Otra aventura más con el consentido Pacaya, como siempre digo cada visita y cada foto tiene su historia, aún recuerdo todo lo que paso ese día, tuvimos el gusto de llevar a unos amigos Ticos para que tuvieran la oportunidad de ver el volcán activo. Se lograron imágenes hermosas acompañadas de esa luna que iluminaba el valle, una caída que nos dio un buen susto, un desvío en el camino, toda una historia por contar. Les comparto una panorámica que aunque técnicamente no logre unirla correctamente pero no quise dejar de compartirla con ustedes, espero la disfruten como yo.

Okay. Before you read anything, CLICK L. I mean, really. This photo looks like crap on white, and it looks slightly less crappy on black. Don't you wanna get the full effect? The lightbox is like a beautifully dark cave intended for photo viewing. Use it.
I've wanted to do this photo for a few days now, and I finally got everything together to do it, but autofocus pooped out on me. So, this is like this, but I don't think I mind so much. It's kinda pleasant. But my body looks like a box, because that dress doesn't fit me correctly (and my other arm is there), and that weird puff thing over my butt should not be puffing up (it's tulle), and I can't decide if the power lines are workin for me or not. I really want a field.
P.S. Them colors are au naturel. No processing there, that's God's handiwork.
+ a bunch of crappy fun ones in comments.
