Street Preaching in London


I have but one photograph to show you today, my friend. These men were sharing the gospel of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in the middle of London. It was very refreshing as a Christian to see other Christians while on vacation. I was delighted and amazed that they are still allowed to do so. I fear it may not be the same in the future.

Brian and I went over to talk to them and they invited us to service. We would have gone but had a conflicting appointment regarding our return trip that we needed to keep. Perhaps the next time we are over there, we'll be in a posititon to go.

Sadly, not many people appeared to be actively listening. There were a few protesters, which I don't understand. The men were preaching the salvation message, they had no political agenda. Why do people feel the need to speak out against it? Disrupt?

I encourage you to pray for others who are out there, boldly proclaiming Christ's love.

Lion Mural

This is the New Chapa Lion Mural by Jesse Trevino at the Goodwill building in San Antonio's Market Square.  Brian and I used to live in San Antonio but we have not visited in about seven years.  This past weekend we decided to go and reminisce.  I've seen this mural before but I don't think we had a picture of it until now.  Really beautiful building that adds another layer of character to the already colorful Market Square area.

Fantasy Vs. Reality

Writing Juxtaposed brought so many memories to the forefront of my mind. I participate in numerous author and reader groups online, and one of the topics that comes up is the issue of writing realistic fiction. Fiction is comprised of many genres, from science fiction to fantasy, from historic to contemporary romance--the list goes on and on. However, many readers often appreciate a dose of reality within the confines of the intended genre.  Paris was the first European city I ever visited--what an intense experience! The trip was the beginning of a love for the charm that came with Parisian architecture, art, history, food, and the people. From my first glance at the (kinda small and unassuming!)  Mona Lisa to a more recent taste of (authentic!) Texas barbecue at the Beast, I have enjoyed exploring the endless possibilities of such a vibrant city that embraces both the modern and the historic like no other. For that reason, I chose the backdrop of Paris for Juxtaposed, the second b

Gran Quivira

Brian and I spent Labor Day weekend traveling to New Mexico.  Leaving after work on Friday, we stopped in Amarillo overnight and continued on the next day to visit some of the Salinas Pueblo Missions near Mountainair, New Mexico, just south of Albuquerque.  There were three, the first one we visited is known today as Gran Quivira.  The ruins themselves date to the 17th century when the Spanish brought Catholicism to the Native Americans in the area.  Famine, attacks from outside tribes, and disease contributed to the desertion of these missions, but little details remain to fill in the complete history.
