This blog will carry my memories, some of them, and my spirituality.
My daily struggle to keep sanity and love for this wonderful world of ours!
I welcome visits, comments – just any type – and, above all, your prayers and friendship.
I wish to make this wonderful modern means of the W.W.W. one more hook into this world, rediscover old friends, make new ones and be there for life!
We cry for our fellow living beings suffering in Haiti's tragedy! A respectful silence seems to be the only appropriate reaction at this time. Insane religious people do say God punished this poor country for its Voodoo practices. Others claim it is Haiti’s karma to suffer such disaster, on top of its chronic poverty. I listened to a man saying in a radio talk show that we should all donate to the relief effort to alleviate our karma and not reincarnate in Haiti ourselves. Such nonsense! These beliefs do discard Gods love and human dignity at once! Let us pray and love as we act now and when needed!
I am a 54 years old widowed man, native of Rio Verde, a town 250 km north from where I live now.
I was born a catholic, when 15 years old became a holdeman mennonite and, since then never left the anabaptist fold.
I attended Bethany Theological Seminary for a while, and was ordained a Church of the Brethren pastor in September of 1987 in Eagle Rock Virginia, USA. After this, I served in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil as a volunteer in a poor neighborhood. Since then, I have been involved with several religious and environmental and human rights movements.
I live in a small farm North of Goiânia.
My main interest is in developing a new, inclusive, open and festive appreciation of the Mystery, without concern for finding or giving answers, but with living, as enabled, the Smile of God is us.
I wish to make this wonderful modern means of the W.W.W. one more hook into the world, rediscover old friends, make new ones and be there for life!
