As the Sunsets in Ilha Marajo

Early Evening on a Lonely Trial as the Sun Begins to Set

I guess you could call it an Amazonian Sunset

What a great way to finish a leisurely walk through the Amazon Region of Brazil, than to watch the sunset slowly in this peaceful part of the world. I personally enjoy being out in nature and Brazil, has a lot to offer when it come to nature or as I like to call the "The Handy Work of God." I've only scratched the surface and hope to Lord willing document some more of it.

Digital TV Tower

As the Sunsets on the Digital TV Tower in Brasilia, Brazil.

Do you sometimes feel like your on the outside looking in or on the wrong side of the fence? To me, as the world becomes more and more wicked that's the way I way feel someday's. But thank God as the sun raises everyday from the east I know there's still hope and time to pray for those who are lost dying and hurting.

Parque Dom Bosco

Parque Dom Bosco at Sunset 

The new I love Brasilia sign at Parque Dom Bosco

There's nothing like a beautiful sunset to reflex on the end of the day of all that has happen or didn't happen. For me, a time to give thanks to God, for the breath of life that I have in me and another chance to get things right in my life and to pray for all my friends and love ones. Their nothing like feeling the power of God, than just watching the power of God, right before my eyes. Colossians 1:15-17 says it best; 15 Christ is the visible image of the the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, 16 for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can't see--such as thrones. kingdoms, rulers and the authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him. 17 He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together. Amen.

Give Thanks

Today I give thanks with a grateful heart, I give thank to God Almighty and his son Jesus and the Holy Spirit working every day in life to mold me and shape into the man of God he desires

me to be. I give thanks for my Mother and Father and all my relatives and friend that are in my life today may God bless you all and keep you safe. 1 Thessalonians 3:12-13, 12 May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. 13 May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones.

Praça dos Cristais-Park of the Crystals

Praça dos Cristais

Praça dos Cristais

I was driving by this park the other evening when I decided to stop and take a look to see what it would like as the sun was setting.  I guess they call it Praça dos Cristais or Park of the Crystals because you can easily find crystals in this part of Brazil, although not quite this big. I even have a few crystal that I use as paper weights that I found just from walking around the neighborhood. Since crystals are rocks I was reminded in the Word of God, that Rocks are used throughout scripture to refer to God as our safely, strength, salvation and refuge. 2 Sam. 22: The Lord lives! Blessed be my Rock! May God, the rock of my salvation, be exalted! Everything in nature in is always pointing to God the creator for his glory.

How Great Thou Art

Sunset Over Brasilia, Brazil. 

Whenever I see a brilliant sunset I can't help but think of the Mighty Power of God (Not Allah) who created the heavens and earth by his breath. This last year I realized for the first time that the God of the universe that created me will never abandon me or forsake me. Humans are not capable of loving the way God loves us. It impossible. Flesh can not compete with God. This pass year I've seen wife's abandon there husband Fathers abandon the children and a Rouge US government that has no limits to  perpetrating evil. Thank God, that all this madness will come end with Jesus sitting on throne ruling and reining and putting everything in order. Lets face it man is to dumb to do anything right that's why we need a Savior. Jesus please come quickly!!

At the Cross

Lone Balloon rider from Brasilia, got lost and was found three days later in Matto Grosso. 

At the cross, I'm always reminded of many things. Most importantly, that there is forgiveness of sin through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the King of Kings and Lord of Lord of all the Universe. And no matter what happens, I will have victory in my life. Victory over ever circumstance and situation that may arise. I John 4:4b because the spirit that lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world. Peace!

Lone Bike Rider of the Apocalypse

Lone Rider at National Museum, Brasilia, Brazil 

Riding off into the Sunset

In a world gone mad as we wittiness this past week in England, other counties should take notice and learn from this especially the very gullible and naive US, with an estimated ten million muslim living there.    Boston was just beginning of things to come. It won't be long before terror attacks like this start to happen on the streets of New York, and other major US cities where large muslim populations exist. And with a government so obsessed with disarming it citizens this will really help there cause with no fear from retaliation as we saw in England. No guns, then stop and stare, take pictures, and wait for the police to come who can't even shoot straight enough to take these animals out. Islam maybe gaining ground in the US and England, but I for one will not live in fear. I've read the back of the book (Bible) and guess what? Those who are in Christ win!!
Revelation 19 vs 11 "Then I saw a heaven opened and a white horse was standing there, It's rider was named Faithful and True, for he judges fairly and wages a righteous war."
So, whenever I get a little discouraged about all the injustice of this wicked world I remind myself  that Jesus the King of Kings will someday bring order to all this madness and that my friends is good news.  

Dock of the Bay

Lago Norte, Brasilia, Brazil 

Everything always seems better at sunset. To me it's a majestic time of the day. A time to give thanks to God for all the good things he has done in life. Although at times I don't understand everything that happens along the way I still trust him knowing that he will never betray me or abandon me like people have. They say never put all your eggs in one basket but with the King of  Kings and Lord of Lords it the only choice. And it's right one!

Rock'n at Sunset

Os três Músicos do DF, Playing into the Sun. 

Luiz Fernando Guitar and Vocals

This trio was entertaining the crowd that had assembled at sunset the other evening. Not a bad idea knowing that hundreds of people would come to see the sunset at this popular spot in Brasilia. I can't believe these guy's knew Johnny B Goode.

The Savannas of Goiás

Sunset in the Cerrado

Typical Cerrado Tree against a Beautiful Sunset 

The Sunsets Slow in The Cerrado, Goias, Brazil. 

As the Sunsets on the Savannas in the State of Goiás, in Brazil, the heart of the Savannas or as they called it here "Cerrado." Here in the "Cerrado" the weather is always pleasant years round with a wet season ans a dry season. In a recent poll I took there was a 50/50 split on which people preferred the wet season or the dry season I for one was undecided. There are things about both season I like and dislike. The cerrado is not as recognized around the world as the Amazon, and I myself didn't know it existed until moving here almost two years ago. Well, gotta go now, it getting dark and the wildlife is starting to come out.

Torre de TV

Torre de TV at Sunset

The Torre de TV Tower in Brasilia, Brazil, lit up like a Christmas Tree as the sunsets behind it. One thing about shooting at night in Brasilia, at Christmas time is well, it's not cold. With tempertures at a pleasant 75 degrees it makes night time photography a joy. And yes this Tower is open to the public with a spectacular view of the city lights from above.

Sunset on Lago Pararnoa

Sunset on Lago Paranoa, Brasilia, Brazil

It's not everyday I make it down to the lake in Brasilia, to catch the Sunset. I'm always amazed at the amount of people that will come out for sunset and watch the handing work of God take place.
