Prayer:
Changing your mind

You know how it is. The minute you close your eyes, it all comes rushing in — the workload on your desk, the overdue dentist appointment, the squabbling children, the new rattle in your engine, the grocery list. And never is the rush of thoughts so intense as when you’re trying to do one of two things — sleep, or pray.

Unidos en Dios
¿No quieres ser sacerdote?

Soy del Departamento de Cajamarca, Perú; el séptimo de diez hermanos (ocho varones y una mujer). Mis padres se dedican a la agricultura.
