Then Gideon said to God, “Do not let Your anger burn against me that I may speak once more; please let me make a test once more with the fleece, let it now be dry only on the fleece, and let there be dew on all the ground. (Judges 6:39) “Lord, did I really hear from you? Or is it my mind, my heart, my flesh, legalism, or anything else shouting out, silencing the voice of Grace? Will you forgive my doubts?

Hence, it’s no wonder I was beyond excited when a friend told me of the Continue Reading
Conquistando Nuestros Sueños… Paso a Paso {Atlanta Journal Constitution}
En 1972, después del éxito del aterrizaje en la luna, el programa espacial de la NASA andaba a todo dar, lanzando sondeos y satélites para explorar el espacio exterior. Fue en ese año que la sonda Pioneer 10 fue lanzada, con la misión principal de alcanzar a Júpiter, fotografiando el planeta y sus lunas, y enviando información de regreso a la tierra sobre el campo magnético de Júpiter, la atmósfera y cinturones de radiación.
