Vaya, ¡mira lo que te han traído los Reyes Magos hoy!
Por supuesto, es algo digital: como sabes, se han puesto las pilas y están muy al día ;-)
Y ahora que tú ya eres muy grande, me han pedido pasártelo en su nombre un poco antes, para que tengan más tiempo para repartir otros regalitos a los niños del mundo.
¿Lo vas a abrir?

Conmovedor. Tierno. Sublime.
Este pequeño vídeo de 6 minutos relata la historia de un padre que amaba tanto, que dió todo lo que tenía.
Sublime. Anhelamos encontrar al Dios Vivo que vive en nuestra realidad y nos ama en todo momento, pese a las circunstancias, nuestros pecados, dudas y confusiones. En la letra de esta canción se deja sentir.
Here are a few more photos of my recent Long Walk in Ireland. I also wanted to share the words to the following song with all of you, because it so perfectly defines what last weekend's walk with God was all about.
Knowing Him more deeply, being transformed into the image of Jesus Himself through Relationship with the Living Christ: this is my (magnificent) obsession!
I listened to the following song many times as I walked with Him through the poignantly beautiful Irish landscape...
What can I do with my obsession? With the things I cannot see Is there madness in my being? Is it wind that blows the trees? Sometimes You're further than the moon Sometimes You're closer than my skin And You surround me like a winter fog You've come and burned me with a kiss.
And my heart burns for You. And my heart burns.
And I'm so filthy with my sin I carry pride like a disease You know I'm stubborn God and I'm longing to be close. You burn me deeper than I know, I feel lonely without hope. I feel desperate without vision, You wrap around me like a winter coat. You come and free me like a bird.
And my heart burns for You. And my heart burns for You.
(¡Que disfrutéis de los subtítulos en portugués, jajaja!)
¡Socorro!Hay gente rara en la Puerta del Sol de Madrid, frikis que salen a la calle para hablar de Jesús de una manera que nunca has oído en ninguna Misa...

HELP! There are strange people in Madrid's Puerta del Sol, wierdos who go out on the streets to talk about Jesus in ways you've never heard at any Mass...

Ah, por cierto: su web... Oh, by the way, their web...
Esta bellísima canción me persigue: en mis pensamientos y durante días enteros desde que la descubrí hace un mes en Windfarm Radio. La letra (abajo), cuando va acompañada por estas imágenes de mi Rey, me deshace.
Y no puedo impedir las lágrimas de gratitud y amor que siento por Él. Estoy locamente enamorado de Ti, Jesús de Nazaret.
This absolutely beautiful song has been haunting me: in my thoughts and during entire days since I discovered it a month ago on Windfarm Radio. The lyrics (below) when combined with these images of my King, tear me apart.
And I can't stop the tears of gratitude and love that I feel for Him. I am so in love with You, Jesus of Nazareth.
* * * A Little Longer sung by Brian and Jenn Johnson
What can I do for You? What can I bring to You? What kind of song would you like me to sing?
'Cause I'll dance a dance for You pour out my love to You, What can I do for You, beautiful King?
'Cause I... can't thank You enough. I can't thank You enough What can I do for You? What can I bring to You? What kind of song would you like me to sing?
'Cause I'll dance a dance for You pour out my love to You What can I do for You, beautiful King?
'Cause I... can't thank You enough. I can't thank You enough. All of the words that I find... and I can't thank You enough. No matter how I try... I can't thank You enough.
Then I hear You sing to me:
"You...don't have to do a thing, just simply be with Me and let those things go 'cause they can wait another minute.
Wait...this moment is too sweet, would you please stay here with Me and love on Me a little longer?"
I hear You say...
"You... don't have to do a thing just simply be with Me and let those things go 'cause they can wait another minute.
Wait... this moment is too sweet, would you please stay here with Me and love on Me a little longer?
I'd love to be with you a little longer 'cause I'm in love with you..."
Ayer fue un día muy especial para todos los fans de Whitney Houston, entre ellos, ¡yo!
Fue una celebración del poder de la gracia, del perdón y de la redención al verla cantar ante unas 4.000 personas en el Central Park. Sobre todo, cuando cantó "I Look to You" ("Miro hacia Ti"), la canción principal de su nuevo álbum, el primero en 7 años. Levantando sus manos hacia el cielo, durante algunos momentos apenas podía seguir por la sobrecarga de emociones que sintió.
Allí, junto a ella, su madre y también la hija de Whitney (ahora reconciliada con ella), ambas mujeres testigas de los tormentuosos años que amenazaban terminar con Whitney Houston, destruir su familia y robarnos de esa todavía maravillosa voz.
Una voz que ahora nos recuerda del poder de un Dios vivo y real, capaz de sacar al más destituido del pozo más profundo. Soy también testigo de esa gracia: Él hizo lo mismo para mi.
Yesterday was a special day for all of the fans of Whitney Houston, myself among them!
It was a celebration of the power of grace, of forgiveness and of redemption, to see her sing before some 4,000 people in Central Park. Most especially when she sang "I Look to You", the lead song of her new album, the first in 7 years. Lifting her hands to heaven, during a few moments she could barely keep going due to the overload of emotions she was feeling.
There, along with her: her mother and also Whitney's daughter (now reconcilled with her), both women witnesses of the tormentous years that threatened to finish off Whitney Houston, destroy her family and rob us of that still marvelous voice.
A voice that reminds us of the power of a real and living God, capable of hauling anyone who is destitute out of the deepest well. I'm also a witness of that Grace: He did the same for me.
A famous song here in Spain shouts out the catchy theme "¡Barcelona tiene poder!" (Barcelona is powerful, seductive, entrancing...) and this new video of Turisme de Barcelona shows that off quite well.
This is my adopted city, the creative place I love to live in.
I hope you enjoy this brief virtual visit, with its "Barcelona Magic"!
Dedicated to my sister Miel... Dedicado a mi hermana Miel... By Your Side Why are you striving these days Why are you trying to earn grace Why are you crying Let me lift up your face Just don't turn away
Why are you looking for love Why are you still searching as if I'm not enough To where will you go child Tell me where will you run To where will you run
And I'll be by your side Wherever you fall In the dead of night Whenever you call And please don't fight These hands that are holding you My hands are holding you
Look at these hands and my side They swallowed the grave on that night When I drank the world's sin So I could carry you in And give you life I want to give you life
(Chorus 2x)
Cause I, I love you I want you to know That I, I love you I'll never let you go
Estamos furiosos con los jefazos de AIG, unas verdaderas caraduras... y ahora también con los sueldazos de los jefes de la SEAT, que no parecen comprender ni a su plantilla, ni al mercado.
Estos ejecutivos viven en una burbuja y no escuchan; por lo tanto nos resulta muy fácil condenarles por su increíble falta de sensatez, visión y humilidad. Pero, te pregunto: ¿escuchamos nosotros?
Para mi la crisis actual es una wake-up call, un antes y después para la Humanidad. ¿Seremos capaces de dejar atrás nuestro egoismo, materialismo, orgullo y avaricia... dispuestos a estar abiertos a compartir riquezas y recursos, cambiar un sistema injusto, escucharle a nuestro prójimo... y a Dios?
Una crisis en Wall Street igual de grande que la de 1929... confusión y desconfianza, también en Europa... una campaña electoral al márgen de lo ridículo en EE.UU.: todo esto y más nos han asediado la semana pasada en las noticias. El mundo no parece ir muy bien, amigos míos.
Y para colmo, en mi caso me encuentro ahora en casa con una gripe super feroz. Que se vayaaaaaaaa por fin! Jejeje!
Es por eso que te ofrezco la canción arriba (una de mis favoritas) y el verso a continuación, para cerrar esta semana movidita con un poco más de serenidad y paz...
Estas cosas os he hablado para que en Mí tengáis paz.
En el mundo tenéis tribulación; pero confiad, Yo he vencido al mundo.
Come close, listen to the Story, About a Love more faithful than the morning. The Father gave his only Son just to save us.
The earth was shaking in the dark, All creation felt the Father's broken heart. Tears were filling Heaven's eyes The day that True Love died, the day that True Love died.
When blood and water hit the ground Walls we couldn't move came crashing down We were free and made alive The day that True Love died,
The day that True Love died.
Search your heart you know you can't deny it; Lose your life just so you can find it. The Father gave his only Son just to save us.
The earth was shaking in the dark, All creation felt the Father's broken heart Tears were filling Heaven's eyes The day that True Love died,
The day that True Love died.
When blood and water hit the ground, Walls we couldn't move came crashing down. We were free and made alive The day that True Love died...
Tras la avalancha de malas noticias provinientes de Wall Street esta semana, he pensado que nos ayudaría una buena dosis de humor para poner ciertas cosas en perspectiva...
