Prophetic Surgeons General
Last night, my wife had the honor of singing the Star Spangled Banner at a public forum on the health of our nation featuring 5 former Surgeons General. (btw, she did AWESOME! I am very proud of her) Before we arrived, I was hoping that after she sang that we would leave immediately. Of course that would have been inappropriate, so we stayed to hear them speak. Wow! I was surely wrong about thinking to leave early.
I was moved by the words of these people, and educated on the well-being, or lack there of, of the United States.
It was almost like going to church, because these past Surgeons General were speaking with passion, conviction, and with a prophetic voice.
I wanted to share an article by the Orlando Sentinel on it. Click here to read it.
I also want to add that of the 5 present, 1 was Puerto Rican and 1 was Nuyorican!
Hyatt Moore's "The Last Supper"
Recently, I was in a Christian bookstore/gift shop and I saw a painting that caught my attention. It was a painting of the last supper modeling the painting of Da Vinci. However, this was no ordinary "last supper painting." The people in the painting, including Jesus, resembled, in my opinion, true humanity; the painting seemed to more accurately portray God's people.
The people at the table with Jesus were of different cultures! Even Jesus wasn't "white," as he has been commonly portrayed throughout history.
This painting impacted me and spoke to me about God's love for humanity and for the world. As a member of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), it surely resonated with me, and how "everyone is able to come to the table."

Hispanic/Latinos in the NBA
I love basketball!
I love to play basketball.
I love to go to NBA games.
I love to watch NBA games on TV.
I love to play fantasy basketball (non-gambling).
It's incredible that the NBA is global, with players from all around the world.
I celebrate that there are currently 17 Hispanic/Latinos in the NBA! I think this is so cool. ¡Adelante mi gente!
Here is a link to see a photo gallery of the players and where they are from.
