Oren en el Espíritu en todo momento y en toda ocasión. Manténganse alerta y sean persistentes en sus oraciones por todos los creyentes en todas partes. Ef 6:18 NTV  photo courtesy of Marcela – her view down her street. BetEl family celebrating my birthday.   birds on the lake – Brazo Ultimo Esperanza Hola!  I pray that many of you are beginning to thaw out and see some green grass; maybe even some flowers!  We are definitely heading into fall here.  The mornings are crisp and the wind has a bit of a bite some days.  The long sleeves have come out and maybe, only maybe, the sandals and shorts will go away soon.
