The aftermath of this last mid January blizzard left bigger drifts!
The blizzard in the middle of December was zero visibility!
Oh, Oh! After this last blizzard, it's going to be awhilebefore eating outside is possible!
The second (or third?) blizzard with God's creative artistry!
Sunrise on the 29th, a very cold day!
And a beautiful, bright sun dog soon appeared!

Pray for my father David that his cancerous tumors in his stomach, liver, and esophagus be healed. I pray that he regain his strength and that his internal bleeding be healed. In Jesus name I pray Amen

Dear Lord God Almighty, please help me to lose weight soon, please grant me the financial means to buy clothes that fit me and that I look decent so I can go to church more often, please help me to do good in my ethnic studies class at San Diego City College and understand the coursework or assignments and be able to pass them. I ask You Dear Lord for my conversion, the conversion of my family, the Guzman-Vital family, my nices and nephews who are Katherine Andraca, Geroge Rosales, Jarwin Rosales, Caroline Andraca, Brittany Andraca, Delfina Guzman, Isidoro Guzman, Esteban Ignacio Aguilar Vital and his urgent need to get his visa to come to the USA and to get his Mexican disability financial aid in Mexico soon because he needs it, for news of Julio Cesar Guzman-Vital, Florisel Guzman-Vital.  The conversion of the leasing staff at Atmosphere Apts, the staff at Impact Program in Morena Blvd.  We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.  We need conversion and healing more than anything else. Please Dear Lord. We need to get along with each other and respect one another. Amen.  Thank you.

We humbly ask for your prayers. On February 2, my wife, Jovi, was diagnosed with DCIS, an early form of breast cancer. We are grateful it was found early and trust in God’s guidance and healing as we move forward. Thank you for your love, support, and prayers.

She is scheduled for surgery on March 20, the Feast of St. Joseph.

Pax Vobiscum!
