Jolt
by Virginia Gonzales “I love how unpredictable life can be:” That was a statement I would often make in sincerity. Now that the most unpredictable situation actually happened, I can say I feel the same. It’s not that I’m okay with the events of late. It’s that I am glad for the jolt. A joltContinue reading “Jolt”

Some Native American Cultures see the rainbow as a bridge, often referred to as “Rainbow Bridge” whereby we pass from this life to the next. There are religions that believe that the rainbowContinue reading “The Rainbow: Hope to ALL Mankind”
The Virus vs. Psalm 91
This communication is titled The Virus. I refuse to give credence to the name of just one pestilence that I’ve encountered in my life time. Addressing just one ‘outbreak’ or another during its season is enough. Besides, focusing on just one disease diminishes the power and evidence of our Creator and Father God. Pestilences haveContinue reading “The Virus vs. Psalm 91”
Eclipse: We Live On a Planet Sustained by the Sun
What an amazing God we serve. The world calls it a “fluke” or “coincidence” and yet there is irony in those descriptions.

I marvel at the unwillingness of humanity toContinue reading “Eclipse: We Live On a Planet Sustained by the Sun”

In a world driven by slogans that promise you that can “Have it Your Way,” “You’re Number One,” “Just Do It,” and “You’re Worth It,” why do we live in a world where people are still so lost and empty? I’ve had it my way, I’ve been number one, I’ve just gone ahead and doneContinue reading “Humility: Power Under Control”
Consider the Lilies of the Field
I love to run to the mountains. Growing up in Colorado, I’ve always found rest in God’s magnificent creation: where the earth and sky meet. Many of my days are spent struggling with my health. Talking to doctors and getting no where, but always having a new prescription to add to my collection. As aContinue reading “Consider the Lilies of the Field”
What do Comedians Bill Engvall and Tim Hawkins have in common?
Performing on stage. There is nothing else like it. Rockin’ the house at the end of a killer stand-up comedy set is higher than any drug can take you and a gratifying accomplishment to those who love to be on stage. But what if you can’t sing, you don’t play an instrument: what do youContinue reading “What do Comedians Bill Engvall and Tim Hawkins have in common?”
Enjoying the Adventure
On Saturday, March 25th, 2017, I got to be The Boss. It was so much fun. Meeting people and connecting through a longstanding tradition like Avon is easy. We all remember the cologne bottles shaped like animals. The flag and table covering was supplied by Avon for me to use/borrow. Avon is a solid companyContinue reading “Enjoying the Adventure”
Mark Your Calendars!
On Saturday, July 22nd, I will be competing at the 2017 Summer New Mexico Senior Olympics (NMSO) Talent Sport competition. In 2015, I won the Gold Medal. The NMSO took me on the road where I got to perform standup comedy at Isleta Casino for the New Mexico Conference on Aging and several other venues.Continue reading “Mark Your Calendars!”
