testimonial from my client Craig:
Hi my name is Craig & when I first joined 24hr Fitness Ronald was my trainer. I explained to Ronald my goals and he designed a training program to fit my abilities & achieve my goals. Ronald was very detailed on my workouts and always explained the purpose of each exercise & what body parts it would build. He was a "form nazi" in that he made sure I did my exercise correctly with good form which greatly reduced the risk of injury. It was very hard work and I would be sore the next day but that was definitely a good thing. Ronald was always positive & upbeat and was there to motivate and encourage me on throughout my training program. He is very knowledgeable in regards to fitness, training, & nutrition. I learned a lot about these areas thanks to Ronald. Ronald also has a great personality which is very important in a training relationship. I would most definitely recommend Ronald as a personal trainer based on my positive experience with his training program.Craig.

my prayer for 2009 in espanol, tagalog, and english
Ako ay nagpapasalamat para sa mga kaya maraming mga tao amazing ko bang natutugunan since Disyembre 2005. Sa tingin ko ito ay handa ako para sa mga trabaho na na dumating. Narito ako panginoon. Bilang ng mga usa longs para sa mga tumatakbo streams, kaya ko mahaba, kaya ko ng matagal para sa iyo ....
A time to take another road, to bring glory to god. Lift up my life for service to Jesus. Help me to give the gift of fitness to my friends, family and clients. Empower my loved ones to reach for their dreams, and to always be the best that they can be. We all fall, and make mistakes because we are human. But do not ever quit on your dreams. God inspired you with that dream, and you must claim it and make it real.
I am thankful for so many amazing people I have met since December 2005. I feel it has prepared me for the work that is to come. Here I am lord. As the deer longs for running streams, so I long, so I long for you....
A la hora de tomar otro camino, para dar gloria a Dios. Levante mi vida al servicio de Jesús. Me ayudan a dar el regalo de la aptitud para mis amigos, familiares y clientes. Potenciar a mis seres queridos a alcanzar sus sueños, y siempre ser la mejor que puede. Todos estamos de otoño, y cometer errores porque somos humanos. Pero no salir jamás de tus sueños. Dios le inspiró con ese sueño, y usted debe reclamar y hacer que real.
Estoy agradecido por tantas personas asombroso me he reunido desde diciembre de 2005. Creo que me ha preparado para el trabajo que está por venir. Aquí estoy, señor. Como el ciervo suspira por corrientes de agua, así que me largo, así que me largo para ti ....

Is food being forced on you: well I have some suggestions for you to survive xmas without adding on 5 pounds in a weekend
Many friends: Moms, dads, brothers, sisters, husbands, husbands, and wives was always push food on them. I tell them exactly what I'm telling you: Acknowledge these behaviors. Recognize the problems, sit the people in question down, and let them know that you are trying to lose weight and be healthy. Tell them how they can help and support you. Chances are they'll want to help and will be willing to learn new recipes so that they can cook for you without sabotaging your health and happiness.
We count on the people closest to us to support us through thick and thin. The fact that a loved one may be sabotaging your efforts to get in shape, whether they are conscious of their behavior or not, can be tough to swallow and address. Take a good look at your current significant relationships to see how they affect your life both on a day-to-day level and on a larger scale. Is anyone in your circle a food-pusher?
Sure, it seems innocent enough. These people may not realize what they are doing, or they may think they are doing it out of love. The bottom line is that their way of loving you is through food. It's time to stop it for good.
You have to be strong and say no when people offer you more food then you have selected for yourself. For example, just because a friend offers you a shot, you dont always take it. If you are already buzzed, you will probably turn it down.
Most addictions are perpetuated by the people we surround ourselves. If you smoke, you probably hang around smokers, if you play basketball you probably get up early on saturday mornings to ball it up for 4 hours, if you are overweight then you probably have friends that eat way too much, if you drink a ton, take a look at who is handing you those drinks.
Sometimes to make a lifestyle change we need to hang with new people. When it comes to food please ask me if you need advice. This christmas weekend, eat all day, but graze dont binge. What I mean is eat a small portion every 3 hours. Just keep going back to it, and it will still taste good, and by grazing you will fuel your metabolism to burn more energy, instead of storing it as fat for energy when you go more than 5 hours without eating. If your really hungry try drinking a glass of water, sometimes those hunger pangs are actually dehydration. If your urine is very yellow then you are most likely very dehydrated. When I drink water all day, the urine is clear like water.\
So enjoy all the goodies of xmas, but timing your eating is just as important in maintaining your energy level, and preventing you from getting food coma or needing to nap. Think of stoking a fire with wood, if you run out of wood, you run out of fire. But if you put all the wood at the same time, it burns fiercely for a few minutes, but then it is gone. If you put in a little bit of wood at a time, you can keep that fire burning all day and melting away calories of fat from your body.
how much do I hate the new york yankees
I hope they miss the playoffs again...
I am sad that texeira left the angels for the yankees....he was really good last year for us.
I hope we can sign fuentes. I would like to see us sign manny ramirez too, or at least get another big bat in the lineup through trade.
I will still be rooting for the angels, but it just burns me that the yankees have so much more money then everyone else.
and I do find it amusing that their guys have admitted to steroid use in pettite and giambi, and we have all seen how arod has been in the news for an affair. The problem with buying and feeling you should get everything you want, cause you have money. Is that you never learn to live in moderation or temperance. You just take it, and feel that it should be yours. And that lack of reserve can cause you to be arrogant.
and for every big contract they take on, they also end up getting burned with guys like pavano, that got hurt and stayed on the books for years without pitching.
Well here is hoping the rays and joe maddon can win the east again versus the red sox and the overspending yankees. Burnett has been known to be on the dl often.
Here is hoping adenhart, wood, morales will all be able to contribute to the angels lineup this year.
I will miss krod, but he turned down a good offer a year ago, and left for only a little bit more than the angels offered. His saves came from the angels offense, we will see if he will have the same success with the mets. I still believe the phillies are the best team in the national league.
Money cant buy love, and it cant buy the world series. The yankees have always had the highest payroll, and when is the last time they won it all. Just look at the tampa bay rays, they won with coaching, scouting, good trades, and good drafts. And all those minor league studs turned it into a powerhouse last year.

Merry CHRISTmas!
Santa lives at the North Pole.
JESUS is everywhere.
Santa rides in a sleigh.
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.
Santa comes but once a year
JESUS is an ever present help.
Santa fills your stockings with goodies
JESUS supplies all your needs.
Santa comes down your chimney uninvited
JESUS stands at your door, knocks and then enters your heart.
You have to stand in line to see Santa.
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.
Santa lets you sit on his lap.
JESUS lets you rest in His arms.
Santa doesn't know your name.
All he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, What's your name?".
JESUS knew our name before we did.
Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too.
He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads.
Santa always say is HO! HO! HO!
JESUS offers health, help and hope.
Santa says "You better not cry"
JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you.
Santa's little helpers make toys
JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions.
Santa may make you chuckle but
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.
Santa is a myth.
But JESUS is the Truth, the Way, and the Life
While Santa puts gifts under your tree,
JESUS became our gift and died on the tree.
It's obvious there is really no comparison.
We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about.
We need to put CHRIST back in CHRISTmas.
JESUS is still the reason for the season.

why do you do the things you do
If you put god first, before you make any decisions, then the results will be for god's glory. Try not to put selfish needs ahead of what god is calling you to do. I remember a quote before that said: if you have been called to do something specifically, and you do not do it, then it will be left undone for eternity.
Listen during your prayers, and follow the lead of the Lord. You might want to give up and just quit, but if you just pray and work one more day then maybe you will finally see the fruit of that prayer and effort.
And god can be found even in simple things like food and drink, and fellowship, fidelity, prayer, our jobs, our families, good health, shelter, clothes to keep us warm on a cold winter day. These are all blessings for us to be thankful for.
If you are focused on money, then with this current recession you may be feeling depressed, especially if your homes are about to be foreclosed. Just pray and understand that money is a tool, it is not necessary to love one another, and to love god for his blessings upon us. And I have lived both with a lot of money, and through financial and a legal crisis. God has been good in humbling me and teaching me that money is a tool and it is not the meaning of life. Love is the reason we are here, and god created each of us as newborn infants. Just as he sent his own son to love, teach, heal, care, and die for us.
Merry Christmas
Feliz Navidad
Maligayang Pasko

best reasons for women to lift weights, instead of only cardio classes and running
2 to decrease fat, by having more lean mass on your body, you will burn more calories on a daily basis, even on days you dont exercise
3 you will not get bulky, women do not have enough testosterone in their systems to get a manly physique. The women you see that are huge are most likely eating supplements to increase their testosterone level
4 so you can fall down without breaking your bones, by having more lean mass, it forces your bones to be more dense, especially as you becoming older--so you dont break a hip, or shatter your leg bones
5 improve cholesterol levels, regular workouts increase hdl and decrease ldl
6. it improves the way you process sugars, so you will be less likely to become diabetic
7. you can improve your strength at any age, it is never too late to get started
8. exercise and having a fit body improves your confidence level and your ability to be disciplined and happier, and avoid depression
9. you will be healthier, faster, stronger, have more endurance, and have more abilities to be able to play sports, travel, climb mountains, go scuba diving, or play basketball or any sport with your friends...To me this is one of the main reasons I lift weights is just so I can play sports with friends....
10 and improve performance, if you already play sports, lifting weights will make you better at those sports
most women stay on the cardio machines and the cardio classes....If you really want to be fit, and look fit, then head over to the free weights and machines and you will see and feel different very quickly. One thing I like for women is the weighted vests, you can remove and add weight depending on how strong you are, but you can use it while you walk around town, or when you go shopping, or just around the house when you are cleaning or gardening...very practical way to add resistance training to your daily activities
I dont like wrist and ankle weights, but the weighted vests are pretty cool. I dont like putting a lot of weight on joints that may not be strong enought to support the weights yet.

thanks for another good year
It is crazy how fast the years go by. We are about to meet the 3rd year since I joined singles for christ. I wanted to thank the lord for giving good health to my family. We were all able to eat together yesterday. Today everyone has already left the house. We have 3 dogs at the house this weekend, cause my brother brought his dog, and his girlfriend's dog.
I wanted to thank those of you who have helped me, and served with me, or counseled me on how I can improve. I do feel more peaceful and have that serenity. I watched kung fu panda yesterday, and there really is no secret to life. If you just try to be the best version of yourself, then there is nothing else left to gain.
I will continue to pray for jobs for all of my friends and family. I will pray for safe passage for loved ones in other countries. I will pray that you all have the opporunities you need to reach your dreams in life. I forgive you if you ever did anything with bad intentions towards me. And I pray that god forgives me for my sins.
I do enjoy the extra time spent with god during these last couple weeks. Going to daily mass is very different lifestyle. Sometimes I dont want to go, but I believe I needed it. It allowed me to try a new habit to see if it would change me.
Thanks for giving us food, and blessings and gifts lord. Only you know what we need, and I ask that you will give those gifts and talents to us at the proper time and place.
big hugs for everyone who reads this letter of thanksgiving in 2008
Your brother in christ,

I like opera's new browser, and operamini works good on blackberrys
I have to say safari on iphone is probably the best mobile browser. But for those of you on non iphone cellphones, you should try out operamini.com. I have been happy with it, so I downloaded opera.com on my desktop as well and I really like it. Very impressed with it being a fast browser.
good stuff. Happy internet browsing. My firefox browser is so slow now, it takes forever just to open up from when I first turn on my computer.

clippers might trade for zack randolph
I heard they are moving either mobley or camby, I hope they are moving mobley. Camby is probably the best player on the clippers right now, cause baron cant shoot so far, only like 34 percent from the field.
tim thomas is just very inconsisten if you ask me, so I dont mind losing him. And with mike taylor, gordon and ricky davis we have a bunch of guys who can play shooting guard. I wonder if randolph will start or come off the bench for the clippers.
glad to hear they are changing things up since they have lost so many games with the team constructed the way it was...

some good articles on dating, sex, natural family planning, and president obama's strategy to protect women and unborn children
an article on natural family planning
http://www.bustedhalo.com/features/pure-sex-pure-love-79-sex_dating_and_catholicism/
an article and sex and dating for catholics
http://www.catholicsforobama.org
a good article explaining the programs obama wants to support to protect life, children and prevent abortions. Some of my friends have been arguing with me about why I supported obama. But this website gives good explanations about ways obama wants to protect women and protect the lives of the unborn.
Honestly eradicating roe v wade will send women into back alleys to have abortions from people who are unqualified. But creating social and education programs, and creating health insurance for all children and women, and creating jobs for women will allow more women to have the babies safely and be able to take care of them if they have an unplanned pregnancy. Also educating women is a good way to reduce premarital sex and abortions. Americans seem to believe in a right to violence: whether that is guns, abortion, execution, euthanasia, war, hunger, poverty, homelessness, drug abuse, child abuse, violence towards women, rape, molestation, birth control. There are so many factors that create unplanned pregnancy and lead to abortion. We must remember that abortion is a reaction of desperation.
We must educate men and women to make better choices and to abstain from sex until they commit to marriage. Sex is not the only way to show love. In fact emotional bonding, trust, commitment, and responsiblity are much better measures of love. Touch, positive words of affirmation, gifts, service, and quality time will tell you much more about your partner, then a quick sexual encounter. And you dont need to have sex before marriage to be good at it. Good communication will help couples have a great sexual life even if they are virgins. Sex is a natural gift that can be learned by any couple that loves each other.

empty my cup, and fill it with the spirit
But then god surprised me, and made me take a look at my life, my habits, my emotional life, my physical strength, and my sins.
And slowly he peeled away layers of pain, and hurts that I wasnt even aware of. As the song goes, I will never know what it cost, to see my sins upon that cross. And I wept over and over again, as Jesus knocked on my heart. As I surrounded myself with people of strong faith, I wondered if I was even ready to take care of a partner and a family. There must still be some work I need to do on my own heart to prepare me to be a husband.
And then I had a very active day, exercising and when I woke up the cross I had on my chain, had fallen off of my neck. So I lived without that cross, but it felt wrong. I went shopping with my friend Billy, and while we were wandering around, I found a new cross. Not necessarily a better cross, but just a different cross. I put it on and it felt like a new beginning. And I found a ring, and I challenged myself to try a new way of living, a new covenant with my god.
And when I commune with my lord at mass I eat the pan de vida, and ask him to wash my sins away and prepare me for the work he wants me to do. I emptied my old cup of knowledge, and pray for god to fill me up with new thoughts.
Create in me a light that draws people unto me,
give me the courage to reach out to strangers.
And let my actions create questions and interest.
Why would this man shout to the heavens,
march for the lives of the unborn, rally voters for
laws that protect the mothers of those babies, why
does he weep during worship. Are they tears
of sadness or elation and joy? Could they
be an awakening towards a better way of life.
I'll be your love, I'll be your light, I'll never let you be alone...
you are so lovely, your are so worthy, you are so wonderful to me.
Indescribable, uncontainable, you are amazing god.
give me your strength, and your wisdom from sunrise to sunset
show me the road less taken, and the trials and tests that will
reveal desperation and give me thanksgiving when joy and love abound
the peace and serenity of faith, courage, and wisdom.....

video about proposition 8, please consider this when you vote tomorrow
I believe prop 4 and prop 8 to be very important law making decisions that we have control over as california voters.
And of course we should vote for our next president.
And we will have others on the ballot as well. Please make the time to vote absentee or to vote in person. I cannot tell you how to vote, I just believe god will elect and create the policies that are necessary. But of course by now it is clear what some of my voting preferences are. But it takes millions of people across this state and country to create laws that we can feel good about, and that will create a change in our society, economy, and moral values of our families and children in the future.

How much is enough?
You're too greedy if God is not enough for you.
It reminds me that we must find joy from within, in having the peace of christ, in knowing that he will not forsake you if you live or him. You might have lost all the money in your 401k, or are being pursued by debt collectors, or were damaged by the hurricanes in the southeast, or faced racism, or sexism. Through our trials and our joy, we must find our peace in christ. The father would never abandon his children. Realize that your trials are here to strengthen you and prepare you for a future full of hope. If you feel like you need more money, or a new car, or a bigger house, or new clothes, or power, or fame. Then you really need to look inward and find out why you are addicted to smoking, alcohol, pornography, strip clubs, drugs, sex, violence or anger. If you pray about it, then you will find your answers, seek counsel from someone you trust, and surround yourself with people who will support you.
When you see the face of god in the people who are your closest friends then you are on the right track. But when you surround yourself with people who support your addictions, your pain, or your anger, who make you feel sinful or guilty : then it is time to find new friends.
Did you find your friends at parties, or nightclubs, or when you were running with bad influences. Most of us know when we are doing something that is essentially wrong or damaging to ourself or others. The difficult thing is to make a lifestyle change to remove the actions that are hurting us. A couple years ago I was overweight. So I started making a conscious effort to give up on soda, and high calorie drinks, as well as to start going to the gym. And after a few months I started to see my body taking on a new shape.
If you give up smoking or drugs, you too might see your body change into something better then the few minutes of buzz you get from alcohol or smoking.
I have seen my friends who drink and smoke a lot. And the ones who are my age look a lot older than I do. They have killed off so many cells in their body and caused themselves to age faster. I gave up alcohol a long time ago, becaue I ended up in a police station. And I never wanted that to happen again. So I chose to abstain from alcohol. And I used to go to parties where people were taking drugs. And I just decided that those are not the people I want to surround myself with.
Is god enough for you?
I pose that for those of you who do not believe, or for those of you with addictions. When you get an urge to go to your habitual sin: take a moment to read the bible, or pray, or listen to praise music, or call your prayer partner. When the evil one tempts us, that is exactly the moment when we must pray and ask for his strength. Just know that god has planned better things for you. His wisdom is so much higher then our own thoughts.
Even if you are already married or in a relationship. Make sure god is present when you make big decisions. Because otherwise you will not be married for long. Or what if god took away your partner, if you dont have god in your life, then you could spin down a bad cycle if you were to lose your partner.
I am a firm believer in doing the little things each day, in building good habits everyday. To set your standards high, and expect greatness out of yourself, and then you will inspire others who see your service and the fruits of your faith.
If you are addicted to sex, then read about the theology of the body. For the body reveals god.
Are you using other people as objects for your own pleasure. Would you want people to do that to your mother or your sisters, or your daughters. Jerry Buss the lakers owner subscribes to playboy and partied with hugh hefner. But when his daughter took pics in playboy he didnt even read the issue. Your children will learn from your choices. You must lead your family to make good choices. Or are you only interested in forming a bond with yourself, and gaining pleasure for yourself. That is a selfish attitude. Would you trade a lifetime of masturbation for a relationship with god. I promise to you that if you develop your relationship with god first, that how you act and serve our lord will attract that special person into your life. Is your low self esteem and addiction to food or alcohol causing you to be overweight, and not as attractive as you feel you should be. Food can be as addictive as drugs and alcohol. A lot of people do what is called emotional eating and make poor nutrition choices, because they dont believe they can change their body,or that it is too late. I am a personal trainer, let me tell you firmly it is never to late to change your body. You just have to make new choices with exercise and nutrition. If you do the same thing every day, you will always get the same result. You need to make new choices to get new results including with the shape of your body and fitness. If you eat donuts, soda, beer, chips, and 500 calories coffee drinks: then you will get the so called beer belly that everyone dreads. Or if you watch tv and munch all day, you will have low endurance and a high body fat percentage. Stop watching tv, go outside, go for a walk, play sports, or better yet learn a new sport, find a workout partner, hire a persoal trainer, take a yoga class: do anything fun, but dont sit on your butt and watch tv all day.
Christians are known by what they do and not what they say. Create habits and a lifestyle that will attract others into a life with christ.
The early christians faced torture, and lions, and death for their beliefs. Are you willing to die for your faith, and do you have the peace in your heart to be courageous with your faith. If you died today, do you believe god would bring you into eternity with him?

Also for the winter you might want to check in with a trainer or a doctor prior to the holiday season, including halloween for all you candy freaks. And schedule a post holiday appointment with the doctor or trainer after january. People who do this will tend to manage their food better, because of the upcoming check up in january, or they will exercise during the holiday period.
And check the scale at the same time everyday. I do it in the morning after my shower, but you might prefer at bedtime before you sleep. Just take it at the same time everyday, and if you can afford it get one that does body fat percentage as well.
common fitness myths
1. some believe fat can turn into muscle and muscle into fat
--- this is not true, they are totally different types of tissue. To create muscle growth, you must activate anabolic pathways through sports, weightlifting, or resistance work.
--- fat burning is done by thermogenesis, or increasing the temperature of your body, by doing exercise it might seem like you are converting fat into muscle, but that is not true, each activity is creating muscle and burning fat seperately...
2. if your not sure, then you didnt work hard enough
---soreness come from microtears in the tissue when doing a new activity. But if you are very sore from moves you do regularly, then most likely you could be overtraining, which could lead to injuries. Make sure to rest and eat in between workouts to strengthen the muscles you tear. I find that eating protein within an hour of exercise helps a lot with soreness, and glucosamine can be helpful too
3. free wieghts are better than machines
free weights are more challenging to support through the movement, but if your form is not good yet, it can lead to quick injuries by straining the muscles with bad movement patterns. Machines are a great way to learn proper form if you dont have a trainer or friend to help watch you
4. running and walking a mile burns the same calories
this is not true, because running is more strenuous and uses more cardio vascular activity, you will burn more by running a mile than walking the same distance
5. drinking a gallon of water will make you lean
water and hydration are great, buy you dont need a gallon, about 8 glasses a day will be fine. When I am with clients, I will drink a bottle every hour so I can keep talking to my clients. Drinking water alone will not induce weight loss, but your body will function much better when hydrated and it will help you to get through your workouts, if you dehydrate you can get cramps, or get dizzy

prop 8, information that can help you vote this year
Last Chance to Restore Marriage Definition
Why Your Participation is Critical
Who doesn't have time to help with the effort to pass Prop 8 and restore the definition of marriage in California? This is our last chance to reverse the decision of the California Supreme Court by putting the same language that was passed by 61% of California voters in 2000 into the state constitution -- "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California."
What are we going to say to our children and grandchildren if Prop 8 loses by just a couple of votes? This is a time to make sacrifices and reorder priorities for the next few weeks. We will never have a chance like this again.
There are very specific things that need to be done to win and we need your help.
- Volunteer today! If you have not signed up personally, go to http://Catholicsfor ProtectMarriage. com. We will contact you within 72 hours and ask you to help with phoning or neighborhood walks. To be effective, your activities must be coordinated with the campaign.
- Whether you have already signed up or are just doing it today, it is everyone's job to recruit more volunteers. In order to cover the state, we need about 30-40 volunteers from the average parish.
- Ask 5 friends to volunteer today. Forward this email. Call them.
- Consider becoming a leader in your area. Join with other leaders on recruitment drives in parishes and as Catholic events. Order volunteer sign-up cards by sending an email to info@ccgaction. org.
- Ask members of your Catholic organization to volunteer.
Yard signs are coming
When you volunteer online, please indicate if you would like to have a yard sign. If you would like to help distribute yard signs, make sure to indicate the quantity in the comment field when you sign up.
For the common good,

manga bible, has full text and manga art for some of the major stories
I bought one at the lifeway christian store in brea. There are actually two christian stores in brea, on either end of imperial hwy. I believe kids would really like this version of the bible since it has the artwork. It is a white bible with a picture of jesus on the cover.
There is another manga bible that is black and white, but I like this one better because it also has the full text of old and new testament. The art is just an additional way to tell the stories.
You can probably find it online if your interested.
if you are like me and enjoy comic books, then you will probably like this version a lot.
happy scripture reading...

Does being a minority help you get into college?
Is race a factor, sure it is. Because people from underpriveleged communities dont have all the same resources as high income families. And normally they have had to work much harder to achieve in school. Or they had to work jobs while they were in school, or be surrounded by gangs and crime in their city. But those experiences create different points of view that are necessary in a freshman class for their university to mimic the world and bring diversity to the table.
If everyone came from an elite background, then their would be less original ideas generated at school.
It is not as bad to be a minority now, as it was in the 60s and 70s, when people were still struggling for the right to vote, or even get elite jobs. The civil rights movement changed a lot of things, but those 500 years of slavery were the main reason for admitting minorities more often, or with lower scores in the past. Because honestly those kids didnt have the same resources as high income families. And they brought a much different perspective and talents to a college, that they would never have if they did not admit those kids.
Do I still believe there is racism and sexism in the world, yes I do believe it still exists, but it is not as blatant or violent as it used to be. But I still believe women and people of color should be included in each freshman class so they can share their views and talents with people who come from an advantageous background.

I come from a minority family. My parents were the first in their families to come to america. And we did well, my siblings went to ucla, uc irvine, harvard, northwestern, ucla, claremont grad university.
So I know what it is like to be a minority and get into good schools, or even top schools in the country. And we all worked hard to get admitted, I dont believe we were chosen just because of our race.
We all had good test scores, and brought different talents in our admission packets

eucharist
at passover they had wine, bitter herbs, roasted lamb, and bread
passover was celebrating the escape from slavery of the jews from egypt
when christ had his last supper, he offered the bread and wine, but no lamb, no meat
in fact the lamb was christ himself
the eucharist is a meal of reconciliation, and the first bread dipped in wine was given to Judas
to forgive him for his betrayal
the other apostles were not sure if he was only leaving to bring back the lamb to their meal, but jesus knew and he told judas to do whatever he was going to do quickly
and when judas did not come back, jesus knew that judas was going to betray him
judas's betrayal actually represents our sins, at times we have sinned or betrayed our promise to god, so if you hate judas then really you hate the sinner in all of us who are not perfect
Giving the bread and blood to jesus, before he ever betrayed him, is god's way of showing us that hee forgives us before we even commit a sin, even a mortal sin. God loves us that much, that he knows we will fall, but he will forgive us and reconcile us during communion
When judas went to the pharisees, he told them I will kiss the one who is christ, but please take care of him
I am not sure what motivated judas to give up christ, but likely satan was leading him at this time
Just as jesus told peter "get back away from me satan", when we are at our worst satan is working in our pride, our ego, our minds, our bodies or our souls. And satan knows where to attack each of us. He knows our weaknesses, and if we are not vigilant with our prayers he will take control of us and cause us to sin, rupturing the holy spirit from our bodies at that moment
Judas even tried to give back the money to the pharisees, but they did not listen and continued their persecution of christ
That is when judas went to hang himself
Even abraham had to offer his son as a burnt offering
his son isaac, asked his father where is the lamb for the burnt offering, when he brought his only son to be offered up to god on the mountain
the eucharist, the body and blood of christ given up for all in memory of me, so we are to offer the body and blood of christ until he returns again to walk on this earth at the end of time
those who eat the body and blood of christ will never be hungry and never thirst
After this talk, we spent some time with each other, and with the bishop
And we then prayed in front of the blessed sacrament at st marthas, I was listening for a message from christ, I believe he will provide me an answer soon, to the prominent questions in my mind
I have gone to the blessed sacrament in these last 3 years with sfc, more than I had in my previous 32 years of my life. I go there to find a quiet place to listen and reflect with jesus.
