2013 Mensaje para terminar el año. By Cesar Reyes Torres

2013 está casi desaparecido, y el 2014 está a sólo unas pocas horas de distancia. Toma un segundo para recordar a todos y cada uno de los seres queridos que hemos perdido este año en el 2013, y hay que llevar esperanza de que Dios dejara que ellos continúan su camino, celebrando el 2014 en el cielo. Nuestro camino en la tierra es muy breve, pero cada vida que pasa por aquí por lo corto que sea o por lo largo tiempo que sea, deja un impacto muy fuerte a través de los corazones de muchos, y ese impactó que dejan puede durar por generaciones. Vamos a poner nuestra fe en Dios, que un día con su bendición. Vamos a ver a los que se nos fueron otra vez, vamos a sonreír con ellos de nuevo, los vamos a abrazar de nuevo, vamos a reír de nuevo, y nos uniremos a ellos, en su viaje en una celebración en el cielo que Dios bendice para los fieles a su nombre. Esta noche vamos a elevar una oración al Señor y vamos a decir gracias por un año más de vida ...

2013 End of the year message. By Cesar Reyes Torres

2013 is just about gone, and 2014 is just a few hours away. Take a second to remember everyone and anyone that we’ve lost this year in 2013, and hope that God is letting them continue their journey and celebrating 2014 from up in heaven. Our journey on earth is very brief, but each life that passes through here regardless of how short or how long, leaves a shock wave across the hearts of many that can last through generations. Lets put our faith in God, that one day with his blessing. We will see them again, we will smile with them again, we will hug them again, we will laugh again, and we will join them on their journey in a celebration up in heaven that God provides for the faithful. Tonight let’s raise a prayer to the Lord and let’s just say thank you for one more year of life…

 

Why God put us here. By Cesar Reyes Torres

Life is more than just working, paying bills, and buying stuff with whatever is left. The older you get, you realize this more and more, but the sooner you realize it the better off you'll be.

God put us here to love one another as he loved us. He sent his one and only son to die for our sins. And it is my opinion and belief that maybe God did so as a way of saying to humanity "I will give up my only son, so that you all may have a chance at eternal life here in heaven, but this is your one and only shot to get into heaven, only through my son will you be able to enjoy eternal life". And so his son came, walked amongst men, he taught us the word of his father, which is to love one another, and help one another, and that service to our holy father was the greatest honor that you could ever have, and that in doing so, you would not only be helping yourself but you'd be helping others. That it does not matter the size of your faith, so long as it is true and real.

Out of the Furnace (film critique) By Cesar Reyes Torres

"Out of the furnace" (film) is the kind of film that comes across as all too real to the audience. Imagine putting a lens around a certain period of time of a group of characters who are tied together by family bonds, love, and old debts. The main character Russell Baze (Christian Bale) comes across as a man who is bound by honoring those ties. I enjoyed the film because family bonds, love , and old debts are concepts that I think everybody can appreciate and relate to. The film is very honest in portraying the flaws of its characters, which makes the movie all the more believable and plausible. But I do think that because of how real the film was, it does cone across as gloomy. I reccomend that you go see it once. Probably not worth being given as a gift, or watching again though, unless you feel like getting bummed out. You will enjoy having watched this film because it makes you relate to the characters and it reminds you that their is real people out there that go through real life problems just like you do. Some people say that this movie is some what in the Oscar category, but given the films that are out, and that are coming out this Oscar season. I would have to disagree. It was a good movie...but best picture worthy or best actor worthy...I don't think so.

Quiet and Still with God on my Mind. By Cesar Reyes Torres

Sometimes when it's quiet and I sit and I find my self frustrated with certain challenges that I face I ask God to please let me know he's there...then I am reminded that somewhere in the world there is someone who is praying on his knees with tears in his eyes that he could be where I am now, in a comfortable chair, in a warm room, eating a plate of food with their mother...and it is in this thought process that I immediately turn from being in a state of vulnerability to being in a state of appreciation for all of the blessings God gives me everyday, and I then ask and prey for all those Men, Women and Children who do not have nearly the same, may they find refuge in your arms my lord, and may their suffering end soon. While I know God will never forget about me or any of us, the challenges I face will be overcome as I feel God in my life and for him nothing is impossible.

Dallas Buyers Club (film critique) By Cesar Reyes Torres

This film is a story that is layered in three different dimentions. On one side it's about AIDS in the 1980s and finding a way to help treat those infected with the virus and the discrimination they faced in every  aspect of there lives. The other side of this story is about a healthcare system that is not setup with common sence laws that will allow people to find treatment for themselves when there sick, by any means possible. But who instead must crawl through a maze, and wait to be called on to possibly receive some sort of relief. The last side of this story is my favorite, and that is that this is a story about our humanity's resolve to simply not roll over and accept the circumstances we are facing. The main character in this movie Ron Woodroof ( Matthew McConaughey) comes across as a guy who is so stubborn that he literally smiles back at the grim reaper and says "not yet, so keep walking". Despite whatever opinions or beliefs you may have or where they originate from, Dallas Buyers Club is a movie that is worth seeing if you like great acting and really want to see Matthew McConaughey like you've never seen him before.
