Nor is there any rock like our God.
Boast no more so very proudly,
Do not let arrogance come out of your [...]

One of the first things we asked Javier when he returned from his trip home to talk to his church was, “Did you get robbed?” For those of you who may not have read this in past blogs, when Javier travels, he gets robbed. It has ranged from someone stealing his stuff while he wasn’t [...]
