Laredo 2016









The day we had been planning on and waiting for has finally come and gone, and too soon it felt, but every moment was well worth spent being with our young brothers and sisters in Christ at Sacred Heart Children's Home. They are growing so fast, amazing how three years just flies by. We had a larger group join us and much more support than last year's event. We pray these moments spent together will last a lifetime for these beautiful children of God. The whole goal of our ministry is not only evangelizing through music but to plant our seedz of faith into the hearts of those we minister and speak to daily. I'm sure I speak for the rest of the group when I say I always take a piece of Laredo with me when I leave. I remember last year like it was yesterday and I still carry a note from one of the children in my wallet. I even remember almost coming to tears when one of them asked me last year not to leave and that they wished they could come with us or that we stayed. We are their extended family, we are one in the Body of Christ, they will forever be in our prayers and hearts, each and every one of them.


A personal message to my young SOF peeps down in Laredo:
Continue to shine the light of Christ by the way you live you life, remember that Christ showed us nothing but love, mercy, and forgiveness and it that is exactly what we must do in our own lives. Through all the hard falls we take, through all the points in our lives where we slip and do things against the will of God, for all the times we become selfish and careless; know that you can get right back up and start over, that our Lord is waiting with loving arms to embrace you and lead you back into the right path, as hard and difficult it may be, through the sufferings we may encounter because we try to be merciful, the reward at the end of it all is truly worth going through all we go through for the love and glory of God.
Open your hearts and listen to hear God's call, and when you do, put all your trust in Him, do it all for His glory and know that with faith even as small as a mustard seed, NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE!

ps. Keep smiling because it's contagious and when you do, you always reflect God's love!

May the love and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you,

AH, Relief!!

Yesterday evening I went to Mass of Reconciliation to ask for the Lord's forgiveness. I'm glad I went, I almost forgot how refreshing it feels to let out your feelings to the Lord and to be forgiven. I know there will be times in life where I will be challenged and once again fight hard against sin. Before confessions began, the Church ran a little Stations of the Cross play and the devotionals they mentioned after each Station really helped me to stay focused in my life and to become a better man of God. So today, I did a little research and found the Stations of the Cross with devotionals to help us get through not only the Lenten season but through our journey of faith in life. If you are interested, send me an email or comment and I will be glad to send you the PDF file I put together. May you all have Happy Easter and God bless! ...and Praise Christ who has died, who has risen and will come again!

Call On Him

by MikeC Ok, I feel I need to write this down, I believe the Holy Spirit is asking me to send this message to you. If you haven't called on God yet and conversed with Him, I tell you now to please dial Him up and patch things up. If you have called Him but felt you got the cold shoulder every time, I tell you now, swallow your pride and call Him back but this time trust in Him and give Him all your love. Yeah there were times I called on God and didn't get any answers right there and then, BUT, with patience and trust in His will, you will get an answer. I'll be honest, recently I've thought about putting down the mic, and pretty much ending my ministry. As you may or may not know, I'm a big advocate of spending one on one time during Adoration in front of the Blessed Sacrament to really converse deeply with our Lord and deeply offering up my prayers and asking the Lord for His guidance.  The devil is always going to try and knock you down, by throwing you curve bal

Determination, Patience and Discipline

To get everyone on the same page: Last year in May, Sandy and I took the kids to the Witte museum, they had this scale that measured your weight and gave a comparison to how much beef that equaled to. Jesus jumped on and of course was a lightweight, not much beef..haha. Then I jumped on and was shocked by the numbers :( I was 267 lbs.!! I knew I was heavy, but the last time I had checked my weight, I remember I was 227 lbs. Not only that, but my feet started hurting alot and I was slowing down big time on the basketball court. This was my signal to do something about my weight or later pay the consequences. I had gotten injured playing basketball in March the previous year and I was out for 6 months, during that period is where I believe I let myself go. So since May of last year to now, I weigh 238 lbs!! I went through rehab for my injury, then I had given up sodas for lent and have given it up for good since. I started a workout program to get myself back into shape to play
