Homeless Man in Washington DC

I know this a hard time of the year for those who are homeless or living in shelters. One thing I noticed about these three men is that they are not young. At sometime point in their lives something happen to make them give up on their dreams. This pass year, I too, have been struggling to keep my dream alive. Then I realize I need to learn to be content and at peace in what ever circumstance I might be in. As the Apostle put it in Phil 4:12-13 ¹² I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. ¹³ I can do all this through Christ who gives me strength. Amen!!

Art in the Park

Putting on the Finishing Touches

Almost Done? I Think

Give an Artist a canvas and their come up with something. Like these young graffiti artist did a few months back on a community collaboration where one artist starts a theme and another artist comes behind him or her to finish or touch up the others ones works. I always see a lot of Beatles influence in their work around here but this is the first time I saw Ray Charles.  Images shot in Brasilia, Brazil. No prizes or money was given out in the making of this mural.

Parque Dom Bosco

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.

Protester Show their Disgust for the Former Brazilian President Lula-171

Basically these people are protesting about not wanting their country Brazil, to have to do anything with communism. Which is what any logical people would do. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that communism and socialism doesn't work and never will it not suppose to and its not design to. Its only propose is to control people hold them in bondage and the end result will be mass poverty and chaos.

Hope & Change or Hoping for a Change?

Well, you can't  say that Brazilians don't have a sense or humor especially when it comes to making fun of their president and other politicians. In the long run people want to be free. And part of that freedom is a honest functioning government that helps the people and not hurts them. The concept is very simple, help the people, but it's hard to do. So far no country in the world has been able to accomplish this.
