Vuélvanse a Díos porque el reino de Díos está cerca. ~ San Mateo 4, 17
Remembering the cross & most precious blood this Holy Week and always⛪️💒💐
Must-See: Tyler Perry‘s The †Passion† Live: New Orleans on FOX this past Palm ☼Sunday☼
My positive takeaways: familiar talent and soundtrack (which I added to my ♪iTunes♫ immediately) in relatable portrayal to modern-day life
Added bonuses: Jencarlos♥ from Telenovela as JESUS and Prince Royce as Peter plus God’s Not Dead star Shane Harper
Speaking of which, God’s Not Dead II will be release soon!!!
My favorite cast members who I grew up enjoying: Melissa Joan Hart (Nickelodeon’s Clarissa Explains It All, ABC Family’s Melissa & Joey) as teacher and Jesse Metcalfe♥ (NBC’s Passions, TNT’s Dallas, Hallmark Channel’s Country Wedding) as attorney plus Robin Givens and the Fresh Off the Boat neighbor
♥These gifted gentlemen are on my celeb love list!
Saints are special, and I like this analogy that Evie introduced to me:
They are our defense attorneys who advocate for us as we enter the stand at the gates of Heaven for GOD to judge our fate.
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us and persevere in running the race that lies before us.”
Remember that I have commanded you to be determined and confident! Do not be afraid or discouraged, for I, the †LORD† your GOD, am with you wherever you go.
I received this generous gift from my spiritual mentor in great timing: the day before my latest conference call with my professor** to practice my dissertation defense ~ in which I advanced to my first committee defense (preliminary presentation to my professors on board)! This reminds me of how the Bishop has always come through for me ~ particularly when he gave me the Holy Spirit blessing and medal right before I took my comprehensive examinations for my Master’s degree almost a decade ago!
Since my R.E. students and my mom contributed the most non-perishable food items to our 🍞Loaves and Fishes🐟 food drive, we won a pizza🍕 party!
As we were about to cover the Last Supper🍷 in last night’s 📖class, we shared our meal. I couldn’t have been more blessed🙏 to have helpful students who offered to serve each other.
Therefore, they deserved to earn 📜awards, hence the ceremony👏 that we had during our 🍛dinner.
To ♪The Player Way♫ chorus rhythm of rapper pastor Ma$e …
Everything that I do be all about the ☼LORD†
I’ve been lifting up †prayer† instead of being bored
Getting lifted by my ♥heart♥ and ☼soul☼
I give the world GOD, who has the main role
In my life
So I maintain thrive and strife
In the ☼morning☼, noon, and night, at all times everyday
†The Prayer Way, the Prayer Way†
~ †The Prayer Way†, by Elaine Dispo (Bust a Flow)
I went the extra mile to freestyle from another song to remind us about the importance of leading a prayerful life.

Recently, Bishop Mike sent me a newsletter* with valuable information, including the ACTS acronym that stands for these prayer divisions that appeared on the first page and also in my own Religious Education teachings of loving GOD** and prayer***:
*How to Pray
♥Adoration♥ ~ **loving GOD
†Contrition†
♣Thanksgiving♣ ~ **thanking GOD
☼Supplication☼ ~ ***petition (**asking GOD for things we need) and ***intercession (**praying for other people)
We’ll review each prayer division individually in the next Thirsty Thursday segments. Meanwhile,
