Consegracion Columbiana

Stefanie y yo viajamos hasta Bogota para partcipar en el servicio de ordenar Pastor Cardenas como el obispo nuevo del diocesis de Columbia. Pero antes del evento official, tuvieran una oportunidad de dos dias de turismo con guias (y gastronomos)  perfectisimos- Fabian y DeeAnn Villalobos. Vimos Iglesias y museos y grafiti, antes de café en su capital mundiale!

el nombre de obispo es verdad, porque es un hombre devoto, ortodoxo, discipinado, y amable.  Va a contribuir mucho en la provincial nueve y nuesta vida comun generalmente. Sera un pastor de sus congregaciones treinte y cinco fielmente. Necesitamos su voz y vision, y rezamos para el.  El viaje y el servicio son recuerdos de la iglesia una, santa, catolica, y apostolica. Paz, +GRS

Complete the Race (II Timothy 4:17)

At the end of our vacation we find ourselves in Chicago for its Marathon weekend (the fastest, I have read this morning, perhaps because it is cool and relatively level). Marathons offer many good things. You can see world-class athletes from places like Ethiopia and Kenya. There is a feel of fiesta with signs by family members, getups by some for-fun runners, and food for sale.

But as I looked out my hotel window at 7:30 a.m., I watched the race of competitors who have lost legs or their use. Wheeling vehicles by arm for 26 miles means serious fitness and determination.

Those competitors were to me, this morning, a symbol of the Church too. For each is wounded. The larger family cheers them on. Each by grace has risen up to run the race. Ahead is the goal, the prize, the welcome home. We find the companionship of Jesus the Lord, there, and along the route too.

Amen.
