SCC + Ukulele + Heavenward Song = Great Encouragement!

Not sure what the context was to this video, but towards the middle of this video, Pastor Montoya say's "Kids need time...not just quality time...but time...I regret that...you learn to cut back on certain things... they need more time"

"This Was Grace" Extended Version from Andrew Laparra on Vimeo.

Proverbs 7:7
And I saw among the naive,
And discerned among the youths,
A young man lacking sense...

These guys are not lacking sense in their purity, they get it!

I was encouraged by this Pastor's example of love towards his wife and by these short words he said:

We are safe in the hands of the Lord, by His grace. We are safe no matter what. I don't have to understand everything. It's the hand of my heavenly Father who loves me.....this one thing I know and rest in Christ day by day.



What a Savior!

A dear couple in our church told us to check this comedian out - Tim Hawkins.

He's pretty hilarious...my kind of humor. Enjoy!

This video is gripping. If you have 8 minutes to watch...you will get the point.
This makes me meditate on who I was and what He has done for me. Next time, I pass
a lonely homeless starving person on the street begging for food or money - I won't forget that was me spiritually. Thank you God for saving me!

You have to watch the whole thing to get it!
