Recientemente me topé con una ilustración sobre la paciencia y el largo sufrimiento que me hicieron pausar. Según una historia hebrea supuestamente tradicional, Abraham estaba sentado en las afueras de su tienda de campaña una noche cuando un anciano cansado viajaba por allí. El anciano se veía cansado y hambriento por su largo viaje. Abraham se apuró para ayudar al extranjero, invitándole a pasar. Allí lavó los pies del hombre y le dió de comer y beber. Sin duda alguna, el anciano Continue Reading

Lute as Suas Batalhas de Joelhos {Coluna do Jornal Atlanta Journal Constitution
(Tradução da coluna do dia 23 de Julho para o Atlanta Journal Constitution) Nos últimos 16 anos, eu tenho tido o privilégio de ouvir os ensinamentos do meu pastor Dr. Charles Stanley na Primeira Igreja Batista de Atlanta. A citação do título é um dos "30 Princípios de vida" que ele escreveu, todos baseados nas Escrituras e em suas experiências de vida como um cristão há mais de 70 anos. Lembrei-me desse princípio esta manhã durante a minha caminhada matinal. Minhas duas filhas tiveram Continue Reading
Grace to the Unlikely {The Atlanta Journal Constitution}
I recently came across an illustration about patience and long-suffering that gave me great pause.

Abraham rushed out to help the stranger, inviting him into his tent. There he washed the man’s feet and gave him food and drink. Without hesitation, the old traveler began eating his food before Continue Reading
Staying Focused as Your World Spins Around
“You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!” Isaiah 26:3 The ballerina’s elegant figure twirled around the stage with incredible ease. The Rio de Janeiro Ballet Company had come to town, and my parents bought tickets to take their aspiring ballerina to watch their performance. As a young girl, I remember watching her in awe, while dreaming of the day when I would be able to have the same technique and grace to become a Prima ballerina. Oh, the Continue Reading
“Pelee sus batallas de rodillas.”
“Pelee sus batallas de rodillas.” He tenido el privilegio de escuchar las enseñanzas del Dr. Charles Stanley de la Primera Iglesia Bautista de Atlanta por los últimos 16 años. Esta frase es uno de los “30 Principios de Vida” que el escribió, todos basados en las escrituras y sus experiencias en la vida como cristiano por más de 70 años. Me acordé de este principio esta mañana durante mi caminata. Mis hijas han vivido malas experiencias recientemente con amistades que han demostrado ser Continue Reading
Allow God to Handle Your Battles {Column for the Atlanta Journal Constitution}
“Fight your battles on your knees.” I have been privileged to sit under Dr. Charles Stanley’s teaching at First Baptist Atlanta for the past 16 years. This quote is one of "30 Life Principles" that he wrote, all based on Scriptures and his life experiences as a Christian for over 70 years. I was reminded of that principle this morning during my morning walk. Both my children have recently had some bad experiences with friends who have proven to be unfaithful. As my teenage daughter shared Continue Reading
