10 reasons I like Spain

Apr 30, 2012 by     1 Comment     Posted under: Blogroll, Spain


Isn’t it great to like where you live? Or.. at least see the best in your surroundings and to look on the positive side? One other thing… I think a lot of people these days might use the word ‘love’ instead of like. I’m learning to be careful of my use the that word. I want a ‘fuller’ meaning to be the definition of ‘love’…eg; I love God, but I like hamburgers.  Love people …like things…

10 Reasons I like Spain:

  1. the Spanish culture
  2. our wonderful church
  3. the Spanish food~ cocido, paella, tortilla de patata … etc
  4. the style of homes they build
  5. the history & ruins
  6. the weather/sun
  7. the Mediterranean diet
  8. the beautiful Castellano language
  9. the use of round-abouts (rotondas) instead of all the stop lights in the USA
  10. a ‘good’ Rioja wine

Pro Life Rally in Madrid

Oct 19, 2009 by     1 Comment     Posted under: Blogroll, Spain

Saturday October 17th, 2009 was an important day in Spain.  An estimated 2 million people and 600 buses from all over Spain, came to protest and rally against the proposed right to abort babies. John and I were blessed being there to see and participate in  the strong objection to this evil practice. Our prayer is that this law will NOT be passed. This is an evil, evil practice and the Lord cannot bless a country that kills its own helpless unborn citizens.

Let me add another note… On the CNN site, they said that thousands, not millions were there and gave a photos of a sign in FRENCH. They didn’t even include a real photo of the event.  We are really in a SPIRITUAL war!

pdrm2204.JPGThank you again for logging on to our website. I thought I would tell you a bit about it so you can familiarize yourself with some of the cool functions that Neil added for me. Here are some of the things you can do:

  • Check the weather in Madrid
  • Look at the value of the dollar in relationship to the euro.
  • Click on the link to “Neil and Anita” to see their blog
  • Check out the other links listed
  • Click on the DiggJesus icon to go to a most interesting website where Christians share interesting stories, help and resources with each other.
  • Notice that the photo banner at the top changes as you navigate the sight. These are all photos of Spain.

We are just getting started but we hope to make improvements in the months to come. With us, it is definitely, “poquito a poco” (little by little)
