Awesome Archangel | Most Powerful Voice gospel music contest.

 

There are still a few more days to vote…And everyone who votes also has a chance to win a trip to new york. And if I am chosen they will help me to create music to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. I lean more towards contemporary christian and christian rock. I also love artists that do rhythmn and praise, or love ballads. I haven’t really learned how to rap like the holy hip hoppers yet, but who knows. But maybe I will be inspired one day to put spoken scripture to a beat. For any other aspiring artists out there I found 2 great programs to help you make music “pocketband by uloops” on android tablets and phones, and jokoshore — it is an open source music editor for multiple tracks. I am just starting to play with them these days. God is good, all the time: I have been seeking ways to make music and he keeps sending me new tools

I am coming back to the heart of worship…and it’s all about you..its’s all about you Jesus.

I’ll bring you more than a song, for a song in itself is not what you have required…I’m sorry Lord for the things I’ve made it.

It’s time to pray for light to pierce the darkest day..For the Eucharist is all the love you need to get through any chains.

The King of Kings saturates your heart and his body prepares you for Heaven’s Gates.

He converts your dirty water, mind and sins with the purest food that mercifully forgives: and encourages you to wisely serve instead of longing to be served.

This is the true path that lets his light shine from within your eyes, and the glad tidings you bring.

Have you every noticed how people rush, even in prayer

gosh, I will be at mass or standing next to somebody. And they seem to treat prayer as a speedreading class. Maybe I just speak slowly, but wow they ramble so quickly like a sprinter, I almost cant even hear the prayer at all. I guess that is part of the fast food microwave/ I want it as fast possible culture we live in. But just pause, take a breath and pray and talk to someone. When you talk to a friend, I hope you dont talk as fast as you are able. Why would we talk to god, differently then we talk to our friends and family right in front of our faces?

And trust me, I took debate in high school, and yeah I had to learn how to read 15 pages in 7 minutes to setup an argument. But even then I thought it was ridiculous: it taught me to read quickly and write quickly, and listen very attentively. But in the closing arguments we always took time to emphasize the most important arguments or points in our case. Otherwise it is all just nonsense and nobody listening to the debate can really focus on the most important points being talked about.

A Letter to the First Lady, on her Birthday

Mrs Obama,

I hope you have a great birthday. I also hope you will pray for an end to abortion and euthanasia. Every person’s life is sacred, and we as people should never make the choice to kill a baby or a senior citizen because we feel they would be a burden to us, or not be valuable to us anymore. Your family has been given a special honor as the first minorities to become President of America. I do see some of the good work that you have done. But Pope John Paul 2 had a great quote before he died: ” A nation that kills it’s own children, is a nation without hope.” Barack’s book was called the audacity of hope, and I pray he can help this country. I have not decided who to support this year. I pushed hard for the Obama/Biden team last time. Even though I see improvements, I also see many of my friends no longer working, or losing their homes, or losing their student loans and being kicked out of their university studies because of tuition hikes.

We are called to make the most loving choices every day. But be careful not to rely on violence to answer violence, for that only perpetuates more hatred and more murders. America did not overcome slavery with violence: we marched peacefully in America. The Philippines did not have a war to remove martial law, they protested peacefully. We cannot create jobs here in America by rewarding companies for sending their jobs overseas to underpaid workers.

I know that all people are welcome to a public education, but the rules in school forbid us to talk about god and faith in those classrooms. We discriminate against god and religion, by not allowing are teachers to even talk about it or have a moment of prayer in class with young children.

Every dollar bill says “In God We Trust”, but when we stop trusting god we often lose all of the trust that god would put into us. Those who do evil and draw people away from god, tend to feel alone and isolated and unloved. Those who love god with all of their hearts: often find peace and feel loved.

We seem to be experiencing many natural disasters lately, some caused by weather and others by humans. But these are the challenges we are given and the hurdles that will define us a people, and as a country. In New Orleans people rallied to help the victims of katrina. People are trying to find new ways of working and living and surviving in this current Economic Crisis. The typhoons in Japan, Thailand that led to flooding, destruction and nuclear explosions have also been major events. Rebuilding New York and safety for anyone travelling abroad on our airplanes and boats has been a major wakeup call for our Americans.

Redefining the definition of a family, of marriage, of a child, of a race, of success, of love and happiness can bring us all closer to god or away from god and closer to chaos. We should not change definitions of the most basic things in life. If everyone decided to call every tomato a walnut, then everyone would get confused and panic. Why do people try to redefine the world: it is because they want the whole world to view the world as they do. Some people define happiness by a 8 digit bank account: but we all know that some of these high income people have committed atrocities to get that money and have committed suicide.

Being President of our Nation is a major journey full of challenges, but at the most basic level we should protect our kids, and families and help them to thrive and harness their best talents and gifts in service to each other in their neighborhoods and communities.

Birthday conversations today with Manuel Monge

Today a group of us went to play table tennis. It was fun, the last couple times I played I couldn’t aim at all. We did a lof of warm-ups before really playing. So I learned to just let the faster ball just bounce off my paddle. And the slower shots, or spinning shots: I had to actually push foward to make sure it would clear the net to the other side. it was fun, we even played doubles, and had to learn to take turns with our partner, so every other shot we had to slide over to give room for our partner to take the next shot. And this created much more movement to be necessary and helped me to get a good workout. I needed a lot of water, and small meal afterwards. I had some water, iced tea, mangos with shaved ice from guppies, miso soup, a passion fruit mango drink, and a plate of egg whites. Since they didnt have protein powder for the shake, I asked for the egg whites. The miso did have some soy in it though.

We started talking, and one topic came to me as we talked about different religions. I just realized that  St Joseph the guardian of Jesus: would be an excellent patron saint for any adults who are step-parents or who want to adopt and care for a child that they did not conceive with their wife or husband. St Joseph took care of Jesus with Mary, even though he was not the actual parent of Jesus. At first he did not want to: but he became the guardian of Jesus along with Mary here on Earth, and God the Father made certain to send an angel to Joseph in his sleep so he would understand the mission and purpose God had given him to be the guardian of Jesus Christ as an infant and child. And who would be a better role model for guardians of adopted children then the Joseph the guardian of our Messiah and Savior. 

We were talking about abortions and how beautiful it is to finish the pregnancy and give the child for adoption to a family that would love to have kids and care for them. Especially now in this contemporary era of time, so many couples marry later in life in their late 30s, and even 40s or 50s:and most likely they might not be able to conceive a child together through intercourse and prayer. But I know there are many of these responsible married couples who would be honored to take on a child just as Moses was adopted and raised by a family who was not his parents. There is a rhythmn and reason for everything that happens in life, and one stressful event like an unplanned pregnancy could be a special child like moses, or jesus, or I know it’s a silly example but Shaquille O’ neal was adopted and he became such a beautiful and strong human being on this planet. My friend, Steve, who I have known since high school was adopted. And we have stayed in touch since then even when we were at different colleges, and we live in different parts of the country. He asked me to be part of his wedding as one of the groomsmen. I keep him and his wife, Eileen, in my prayers and they recently had their first child born to them as well.  It is amazing what happens when we give life a chance to be loved, and pray that a family and a community of God’s people will help care for a child, even when the actual parents are unable to provide and might have aborted them instead if not given the option to let them be adopted and loved as St Joseph did with Jesus, and Sarge did with Shaq, and I am sure many of you know friends who were adopted and loved. And you dont have to leave them in a basket in a river, who have the internet and so many doctors, counselors, and church groups who can help you contact the people who can screen the possible families who will adopt children, and also provide education and support to the birth parents so they can finish the pregnancy and deliver a healthy child to those adopted parents. The movie Juno is one of my favorites because of how it all worked out, and the mom of the baby is so sassy and funny: and she knew herself and definitely wanted to find a good home for her baby.

By the way, I f…

By the way, I found a massage therapist at the grand in brea, who also grinds her teeth. And she showed me some great stretches for my neck, and places to apply pressure in through my trapezius muscles, deep into my collarbones towards the shoulder, and on my lymphnodes by my ear and jaw. She said the fluids were backed up in that area. A chiropractor helped her, and she really helped me in that one session. I plan on going back to her soon so I can repeat the relief of the tension in my jaw. This has been a struggle for me for almost a year now. I am finding I have overdeveloped some of my neck muscles and had a very limited range of motion in the other direction. So with the stretches and strengthening muscles of my neck and upper spine with my head pointing towards my chest and abdomen, I could feel a great stretch in the back of my skull down my trapezius muscles towards my spine. I often arch my head backwards to keep my chin up, even when I sit down in a chair. So I am learning that sometimes it is best to just hang my head and relax those muscles and it takes pressure out of my neck and jaw from trying to support my big knucklehead skull all the time. I will try to post some videos on my http://www.youtube.com/awesomearchangel channel soon to show you what I am talking about. I have spoken to multiple people about this, and it seems that grinding and clenching of the jaw and teeth is pretty common for a lot of people.

my favorite workout and pregame music, and food to fight being anemic

Just wanted to share a great source of christian hip hop that I found on tuneinradio app, it is called yhot in orlando florida…I think it is at 88.3

http://www.onlineradiostations.com/radio-stations/usa/florida/orlando/yhot-88.3-christian-hip-hop/details.html

definitely some good food for the ears and dancing, and for workout routines that are upbeat like high intensity cardio or team sports, and plyometrics, or quickness and agility drills, I listen to it on my headphones before playing in games for sports as well…it gets me pumped up

some tips for if people dealing with being anemic

Well some of my friends are struggling with being anemic at times. It happened to me once as well like 3 years ago. I felt really tired, and my doctor recommended finding foods that are high in iron. And one thing she mentioned is that I was donating whole blood to often, so now I normally only donate platelets, because it doesn’t deplete my iron levels like whole blood.

In any case some good ways to get iron. Don’t just buy lettuce for salad. Grab the bag that says spring mix. If you look at the nutrients you will see that these packs have more iron, because they have mixed greens. They key to nutritional balance in general is to eat a wide variety of food. If your whole plate is almost all the same color: than most of your nutrition is overbalanced to one type. Imagine if you have spinach, mushrooms, squash, a palm size filet of grilled salmon, blueberries and cherries, and some olive oil, rasberry vinagrette for your veggies, a portion of brown rice, a large cup of water…and some greek yogurt with honey, flaxseed, and frozen mangos for dessert. So many different colors, and nutrients that will give you a great meal.

an unexpected but welcome easy exercise

well today, my car went in for a smog check, and the shop asked me to leave the car behind for the night.

So I grabbed my bag, my basketball, and a water bottle and went for a walk and got in some exercise.

I had originally planned on heading to the gym to play basketball after my smog check. But ended up practicing my dribbling with both hands on the sidewalk in the heat during lunchtime. It was a good workout, and the extra weight in my backpack, and the heat made it a good burn right before I grabbed some lunch.

So after a good sweat on the pavement, I grabbed some hummus with mixed veggies, and turkey and wheat pita, and some iced tea for lunch.

 

a shared prayer for healing

My Auntie Linda, gave me this prayer to share….

Father Ignatius is the healer that heals Rosario , Argentina . He has performed excellent work, real cures, and many miracles of healing.

Prayer is good and it is good to know I have chosen my twelve people, through faith with loving hope we can receive strength and divine light.

This is one of nine recitals by Father Ignatius, which began on January 10, 2005 and to date still has not been  broken. When you receive it, pray a Hail Mary and have a special request…. .see what happens after you have received.

Remember to work towards your dreams as well.  Together with God, everything is done much faster.

“Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.  Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death, Amen “(Here ask for your desire)
