Bible .jpg I give testimony and witness to my believes. I believe the Bible as a source of God's words for us humans, a book that communicates God's love, desires and aspirations for humanity and the plan for our lives. What do you believe? What I believe is based on my personal experience with God, an experience that has taken me through a lot... I am a work in progress, God's plan for me is still unfolding and talking shape. Though I was born in 1957, before all or most of those reading these words, I am still been transformed into the likeness of God. I invite you to be a witness with me; I know as a matter of fact that God is also working in your life! Let us share together in this adventure called life--this class is but an opportunity for such sharing.

I invite you to taste the words we will be sharing in this class, only through tasting can you become familiarized with the flavors associated with the word of God, only a personal encounter can help you judge by yourself... do you know guavas, have you seen them before?

I invite you to take a bite! The white guava is sweeter and more fleshy than the ed guava's more tangy flavor--both a great taste, but quite different. Only when you taste them can you make up your mind for which is your favorite!

It is the same way with the word of God, I invite you to taste it, then you can make up your mind!

If you have never tasted both red Peruvian and white Mexican / Filipino guavas you are lacking... I can invite you home to try some of my guava trees fruits, but guavas or me can not make the promise that the God of the Bible makes in James 1:5 (NIV) "If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him."

In this class I unite my voice to God's personal invitation and ask you to consider it real--as James1:5 states--

1. For those who lack wisdom
2. We are invited to make a scientific experiment (yes indeed!)
3. Ask God for wisdom for your life
4. God will give all, you, me, all the wisdom we ask for ABUNDANTLY "generously" and God will do so "without finding fault"
5. Are you ready to experiment with God? Because as promised--"it will be given"--to all who asks!!!

That is my personal invitation to you as I welcome you to class. Call me on it, I am ready to respond--909.382.1912, mobile phone.
